JUDGMENT :

P.K. Misra, J. - This writ application is directed against the order under Annexure-8 passed by the Land Reforms Commissioner-cum-Settlement Commissioner, Orissa, Cuttack (in short, the "Commissioner").It appears that present opposite party No. 1 had filed Settlement Revision Case No. 4 of 1997 in the Court of the Commissioner and after hearing both parties, the revision was dismissed by order dated 12-5-1998. Thereafter,present opposite party No. 1 filed Misc. Case No. 53 of 1998 for recalling the order dated 12-5-1998 and the Commissioner has recalled the earlier order and allowed the revision of present opposite party No. 1. as per order under Annexure-8. Such order is being impugned on the ground that the Commissioner did not have any jurisdiction to entertain an application for review.

2. Learned Counsel appearing for opposite party No. 1 submitted that every Court or tribunal has got inherent power to recall its earlier decision and as such it cannot be said that order under Annexure-8 is without jurisdiction.

3. Law is well settled that power of review of earlier judicial or quasi judicial order can be exercised only if there is a specific provision contained in the
