  1. Who is not a Revenue Officer?
Verified Answer

Core Legal Answer & Context: Under the M.P. Land Revenue Code, 1959, various officials are designated as Revenue Officers, vested with specific administrative and quasi-judicial powers related to land revenue administration. A Settlement Officer, Revenue Inspector, and Naib Tahsildar are explicitly recognized as Revenue Officers within the hierarchy. An Assistant Superintendent of Land Records, while performing duties related to land records, is generally not classified as a 'Revenue Officer' with the statutory powers and responsibilities assigned to the others under the Code.

Relevant Statutes and Sections: M.P. Land Revenue Code, 1959, particularly Section 11 (Classes of Revenue Officers) and Section 12 (Powers of Revenue Officers).

Important Landmark Cases: Not applicable for a definitional question regarding statutory roles.

Clear Conclusion: Asstt. Suptd. land records is not a Revenue Officer.
