Correct Answer:
C. EDO (Revenue)
An appeal against a Collector’s compensation order generally lies to the immediate superior revenue authority, which is often the EDO (Revenue) or a similar higher-ranking revenue officer like a Commissioner. This follows the established hierarchy of appeals within the administrative structure, allowing for a review by a senior officer before potentially moving to higher judicial forums.
- The BoR (Board of Revenue) is a higher appellate body, usually for second appeals or revisions, not the first appeal against a Collector's order.
- The Provincial Government is a policy-making body and not an appellate court for individual compensation cases.
- The High Court is a judicial body, typically approached after exhausting administrative remedies, not for the first appeal in revenue matters.
