Correct Answer:
A. Section 10
Understanding the hierarchy and appointment powers within the revenue department is crucial. Section 10 is the specific legal provision that grants the authority for the appointment of Assistant Commissioners and Assistant Collectors. These officers play vital roles in the day-to-day administration of revenue matters at a more localized level, distinct from the higher-ranking Commissioners and Collectors.
- Section 12, Section 14, and Section 7 typically deal with other aspects of the revenue law, such as the powers of the Board of Revenue or other administrative functions, not the specific appointment of Assistant Commissioners and Collectors.
