(3) The appellate authority may, if satisfied that the appellant was prevented by sufficient cause from
preferring the appeal within the period of sixty days, admit the appeal within such further period as that
authority may deem fit.
(4) In disposing of an appeal under this section, the appellate authority may, after giving the parties a
reasonable opportunity of making their representation, pass such order thereon as that authority may deem
fit.
(5) The decision or order of the appellate authority on appeal shall be final.
100. No appeal in certain cases.—Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, where, with the
previous sanction in writing of, or on requisition by, the Reserve Bank, a co-operative bank—
(a) is being wound up; or
(b) in respect of which a scheme of amalgamation or reorganisation is given effect to,
no appeal there against shall lie or be permissible, and the sanction or requisition of the Reserve Bank
shall not be liable to be called in question.
101. Review.—(1) The appellate authority referred to in section 99, may, on the application of any
party, review its own order in any case and pass in reference thereto such order as it thinks fit:
Provided that no such application shall be entertained unless the appellate authority is satisfied that
there has been a discovery of new and important matter or evidence which after exercise of due diligence
was not within the knowledge of the applicant or could not be produced by him at the time when the order
was made or that there has been some mistake or error apparent on the face of the record or for any other
sufficient reason:
Provided further that no such order shall be made under this sub-section unless notice has been given
to all interested parties and they have been afforded a reasonable opportunity of being heard.
(2) An application for review under sub-section (1) by any party shall be made within thirty days
from the date of communication of the order of the appellate authority sought to be reviewed.
102. Interlocutory orders.—Where an appeal is made under section 99, the appellate authority may,
in order to prevent the ends of justice being defeated, make such interlocutory orders, including an order
of stay pending the decision of the appeal as such authority may deem fit.
