POWER OF SETTLEMENT COMMISSION TO REOPEN COMPLETED PROCEEDINGS. –
If
the Settlement Commission is of the opinion (the reasons for such opinion to be
recorded by it in writing) that, for the proper disposal of the case pending
before it, it is necessary or expedient to reopen any proceeding connected with
the case but which has been completed under this Act before application for
settlement under section 127B was made, it may, with the concurrence of the
applicant, reopen such proceeding and pass such order thereon as it thinks fit,
as if the case in relation to which the application for settlement had been
made by the applicant under that section covered such proceeding also:
Provided
that no proceeding shall be reopened by
the Settlement Commission under this section after the expiry of five years
from the date of application under sub-section (1) of section 127B.
