Court.
68. Any magistrate holding a court under this Part, if in his opinion any action or matter brought before him is of sufficient importance to be dealt with by the Supreme Court may decline to proceed with the same, and in such event the plaintiff may thereafter institute proceedings in the Supreme Court as if no proceedings had been taken under this Part.

70. It shall be lawful for the magistrate on such grounds as he may think sufficient, to review any judgment or decision given by him, within one month from the date thereof, and on such review to re-open and re-try the case, wholly or in part, and to take fresh evidence, and to reverse, vary, or confirm his previous judgment or decision.

Nothing in this Part shall be deemed to limit in any way any jurisdiction conferred on the Land Officer by Part II; neither shall anything in this Part affect the right of appeal of either of the parties: Provided that the provisions of the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, with respect to appeals shall apply to the decisions of magistrates under this Part.
