Power to abrogate tenancy conditions rests with:

A. Collector
B. EDO (Revenue)
C. Board of Revenue (with govt approval)
D. Provincial Govt
Correct Answer: C. Board of Revenue (with govt approval)

This question pertains to the hierarchy of authority in land administration and the power to alter fundamental tenancy conditions. The correct answer is Board of Revenue (with govt approval). The Board of Revenue is typically the highest revenue authority in a province, vested with significant powers to interpret, implement, and, with government sanction, modify land and tenancy laws. Abrogating tenancy conditions is a major policy decision, requiring the expertise of the Board and the ultimate approval of the Provincial Government.

  • The Collector and EDO (Revenue) are district-level officers who enforce laws but lack the authority to abrogate fundamental conditions.
  • While the Provincial Govt holds ultimate authority, such specific powers are usually exercised through or delegated to the expert body, the Board of Revenue, acting with its approval.
