The Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967 governs the structure and operation of the land revenue system in the province, defining the roles of revenue officers such as Patwari, Qanungo, Tehsildar, and Collector. The Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967 also includes critical processes such as land mutation, demarcation, partition, and record-keeping through documents like Jamabandi, Khasra, and Girdawari. Understanding the Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967 is crucial for mastering questions related to revenue courts, appeals, and revisions.
