Section 176 of The Ajmer Tenancy and Land Records Act, 1950 in hindi

The Chief Commissioner may, by notification in the Official Gazette, confer on an assistant commissioner or a sub-divisional officer all or any of the powers of a collector under this Act to be exercised in respect of such cases or class of cases or such other matters as may be specified in such notification.

Summary

This section gives the Chief Commissioner the power to expand the legal authority of certain lower-ranking officers.
Through a formal notification, the Chief Commissioner can grant an assistant commissioner or a Sub-divisional officer the same powers a Collector has.
These granted powers can apply to all cases or just to specific types of cases or matters.
This serves as a way to handle high workloads or special circumstances where a Collector's authority is needed in more places at once.

Practical examples

1Because there are too many land disputes for the Collector to handle alone, the Chief Commissioner issues a notice in the Official Gazette in June 1952. This notice gives Assistant Commissioner Verma the full powers of a Collector for all rent-related cases.

2A very complex dispute arises in a specific area. Under Section 176, the Chief Commissioner grants the local Sub-divisional officer the powers of a Collector specifically to resolve that one class of cases.
