1. Maqbul Ahmad Sheikh (Member)--This second revision has been filed against the order of the Additional Commissioner (Revenue) Sargodha, dated 26-1-1982, whereby the order of the lower Court was set aside in revision. The brief facts of the case as stated in the order of the Additional Commissioner, are as follows :-- "The petitioners and the respondents owned land jointly in village Noorpur, Tehsil Khushab, District Sargodha. On miscellaneous application of the petitioners that the other co-owners are not paying her share from the land, the Tehsildar kept the crop on Superdari and when the petitioners removed the crops from the threshing floor the Tehsildar ordered for the registration of a case under section 379 PPC against the petitioners. The Tehsildar passed the order on 4-1981. On coming to know about this order, the petitioners filed a review petition before the Tehsildar which was dismissed on 6-1981. The petitioners filed an appeal before the AC/Collector, Jauharabad. The Collector appointed an Arbitrator and on his award he dismissed the appeal".
2. The learned Additional Commissioner held that the Tehsildar/ACI as the Collector had no jurisdiction to order the division of crop between the co-owners. He accordingly set aside the orders of the flower Courts. Hence this revision.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length. I find myself in complete agreement with the views held by the learned Addi tional Commissioner that no jurisdiction is available to the Revenue Officers to distribute the produce amongst the co-sharers. The Revenue Officers can only act in manner as prescribed by law. Agreeing with the views of the Additional Commissioner, this revision is rejected.
