Sub-section 4 of Section 152 lays down that no

appeal shall lie against any order or decision made under the

Act, save and except where express provision for appeal has

been made. But every order or decision made shall be

subject to the revisional jurisdiction. It further lays down that

even an order made in an appeal is subject to revisional

jurisdiction
