Agree with Mr. Rajeev. Since original return was not filed as per sec 139 (1) hence revision was invalid.
Further, regarding rectification u/s 154 can be made by IT authority on their own or on the basis of applicaiton made by assessee. but rectification can be made when IT authority commit mistake at the time of passing order. However, in given case, AO has not committed mistake.
