Correct Answer:
A. Section 10
The hierarchical structure of the revenue department includes various levels of officers to ensure efficient administration. The power to appoint Assistant Commissioners and Assistant Collectors is typically vested under Section 10 of the relevant revenue act.
- These officers play a vital role in assisting the Commissioners and Collectors in their duties, handling a range of administrative and quasi-judicial functions.
- Section 10 delineates the authority for their appointment, ensuring proper delegation and staffing.
- Sections 7, 12, and 14 would pertain to other aspects of the revenue administration, such as the creation of divisions, the powers of these officers, or other procedural guidelines, but not specifically their initial appointment.
