ORDER
The powers of revision as contained in section 84 of the' Punjab Tenancy Act, taking into account the adaptations and amendments which have lately taken place, can be exercised by the Commissioner of a Division as well as by the Board of Revenue. In the present case, the orders so far obtained are from the Assistant Collector and the Collector. I consider it expedient as a matter of policy that the Board of Revenue's revisional jurisdiction should not be invoked until the parties concerned have done the needful in order to obtain their redress from the Commissioner.
I, therefore, direct that this case may be transferred to the Commissioner, Rawalpindi Division, for disposal according to the law. The address of the petitioners' is already on the file.
The Commissioner will be able to send them the necessary notice at his earliest convenience.
A. H. Case transferred to Commissioner.
