Who can appoint collector of the district under the Punjab Land Revenue Act?

The appointment of key administrative positions, such as the Collector, who heads the district's revenue administration, is typically vested in the highest executive authority of the province. Under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, the Government (specifically, the Provincial Government) is empowered to appoint a Collector for each district. This ensures that a high-ranking administrative officer is placed in charge of the district's revenue affairs, responsible for land revenue collection and administration.

• The Board of Revenue supervises Collectors but does not appoint them.
• The Executive District Officer (Revenue) is a subordinate officer.
• The District Government is a local administrative body, but the power to appoint a Collector rests with the provincial executive.
