Key Points:
• The Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO / Prant Officer) functions as a miniature District Collector at the sub-division level:
• Statement a: Acts as the revenue head of the sub-division, conducting annual inspections of tehsil offices and supervising land revenue collection.
• Statement b: Exercises appellate and quasi-judicial authority under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, adjudicating land rights and boundary disputes.
• Statement c: Inquires into and forwards verification reports and recommendations to the District Collector regarding the grant of arms licenses.
• Statement d: School administration inspection is the functional responsibility of the Education Department (Education Officer/Block Education Officer), not a regular duty of the SDO.
• Hence, statements a, b, and c are duties of the SDO.
• Key Takeaway: The SDO supervises revenue matters, adjudicates land disputes, and recommends arms licenses, while school inspection belongs to education officers.
