The Orissa Board of Revenue Act, 1951 establishes a single-member Board of Revenue to oversee revenue administration across the State of Odisha. It regulates the management and collection of state land revenues, supervises land reform initiatives, and exercises administrative control over Revenue Divisional Commissioners, district Collectors, and lower revenue courts. The Act grants the Board appellate, original, and revisional judicial powers, along with the authority to review its own decisions. By consolidating various historical revenue authorities under one unified body, the law ensures efficient governance of land laws, standardized legal procedures in revenue courts, and effective state revenue collection.
