A Maharashtra Rent Control (Amendment) Bill, 2025 (L. A. Bill No. LXXXII of 2025) was introduced in 2025; as of October 2026 no official record shows it passed or published as an Act, so it is not reflected in this text.

(1) No appeal shall lie against an order for the recovery of possession of any premises made by the Competent Authority in accordance with the procedure specified in section 43.

(2) The State Government or such officer, not below the rank of an Additional Commissioner of a Revenue Division, as the State Government may, by general or special order, authorise in this behalf, may, at any time suo motu or on the application of any person aggrieved, for the purposes of satisfying itself that an order made in any case by the Competent Authority under section 43 is according to law, call for the record of that case and pass such order in respect thereto as it or he thinks fit:

Provided that, no such order shall be made except after giving the person affected a reasonable opportunity of being heard in the matter:

Provided further that, no powers of revision at the instance of person aggrieved shall be exercised, unless an application is presented within ninety days of the date of the order sought to be revised.
