Powers of the Board of Revenue
Under Section 47-A (5) of the Stamp Act, 1899, and corresponding provisions in the Revenue Code, the Board of Revenue has appellate authority, functioning as the Chief Controlling Revenue Authority. Its powers include hearing appeals against revenue orders, with the authority to uphold, modify, or set aside such orders.

Presumption of Correctness of Revenue Records
Section 117 of the Code presumes the correctness of revenue records, such as khasra (land record), unless proven otherwise. This presumption plays a crucial role in land disputes, where revenue records are relied upon as conclusive evidence of ownership or possession.
