Who can entertain & dispose an application for division of produce between tenant & landlord under Punjab Tenancy Act?

Under the Punjab Tenancy Act, disputes concerning the division of produce between a tenant and landlord are significant. While initial applications are often heard by lower revenue officers, the question asks who can "entertain & dispose" of such an application, implying a final and authoritative decision. The correct answer is the Board of Revenue. The Board of Revenue is the highest revenue authority in the province, possessing extensive powers of superintendence, revision, and appeal over all revenue officers. It can entertain and finally dispose of such applications, especially in complex cases or through its revisional jurisdiction, ensuring a definitive resolution. Options A, B, and C (Naib Tehsildar, Assistant Collector of the first grade, and Executive District Officer (Revenue)) represent lower or administrative authorities, whose decisions are subject to appeal or revision by higher authorities, ultimately leading to the Board of Revenue.
