The Supreme Court dismissed the Agricultural Cooperative's request for the Land Reform Commission to review its own decision refusing to initiate invalidity proceedings. The Commission had previously declared a land transfer valid by operation of law, but the Cooperative argued this violated property rights. The Court held that as an appellate body limited to reviewing appeals, the Commission lacks the statutory power to declare its own decisions void, even upon request.
