The “Patwari” shall be deemed to include:

The Patwari is a foundational village-level revenue official responsible for maintaining land records, measuring land, and collecting land revenue. This role is known by different names across various regions.

• Tapedar and Additional Tapedar is the correct answer. In many regions, particularly in Sindh, Pakistan, the term 'Tapedar' is used interchangeably with 'Patwari' to denote the same function of a village revenue officer. An 'Additional Tapedar' assists in these duties.
• Lambardar is a village headman, distinct from a Patwari.
• Collector is a district-level administrative head, a much higher authority.
• Legal practitioner refers to a lawyer and is entirely unrelated to the Patwari's role.
