Who may pass orders for preparation of Register Haqdaran Zameen if it does not exist earlier?

The Register Haqdaran Zameen, or Record of Rights, is a foundational land record. Its preparation, especially when it does not exist, requires the highest administrative and policy authority. The Board of Revenue is the apex land revenue body, responsible for policy, administration, and issuing comprehensive orders regarding land records across the province/state.

• Board of Revenue (Correct): This body possesses the ultimate authority to order the preparation of such a crucial and fundamental document, as it oversees all land revenue matters.
• Asstt. Commissioner (Incorrect): An Assistant Commissioner operates at a lower administrative level and lacks the authority to issue such a broad, policy-level order.
• Distt. Collector (Incorrect): While a key revenue officer, the District Collector's authority is confined to their district and does not extend to initiating the preparation of a Register Haqdaran Zameen at a policy level.
• Commissioner (Incorrect): A Commissioner supervises several districts but is subordinate to the Board of Revenue in matters of land record policy and preparation.
