The lowest Revenue Court is
A. Tehsildar’s Court
B. Supreme Court
C. High Court
D. District Court

Answer 1

Hint:
> Revenue courts handle the cases of land revenue in the State
> The Court handles the cases that deal with the assessment of land revenue and property tax.

Complete answer:
Revenue courts handle the cases of land revenue in the State. Board of Revenue is the highest revenue court in the district. Under the Board of Revenue, are the Courts of Commissioners, Collectors, Tehsildars and Assistant Tehsildars. The Board of Revenue listens to the final appeals against all the lower revenue courts under it.

Option (A) Tehsildar’s Court: A tehsildar is a tax officer, in-charge of collecting land revenue-related taxes from tehsil. A tehsildar is also called Executive Magistrate of his/her tehsil. The Tehsildar's Court handles the cases that deal with the assessment of land revenue and property tax. It is the correct option as Tehsildar’s Court is the lowest revenue Court in India.

Option (B) Supreme Court: Under the Indian Constitution, the Supreme Court of India is the highest judicial forum and final court of appeal, the highest constitutional court, with the power of constitutional review. It is an incorrect option as it is not a Revenue court.

Option (C) High Court: In India, the principal civil courts of jurisdiction in all states and union territories are the High Courts. They have the power of judicial review and to declare any law or ordinance unconstitutional if it is found to be against the Indian Constitution. It is also an incorrect option as it is not a Revenue court.

Option (D) District Court: In India, District Courts are the local courts of the State governments in India for each district. Sometimes there is one district court for one or more districts which together take into account the number of cases and the population distribution in the district. These Courts regulate justice in India at a district level. Again an incorrect option as it is not a Revenue court.

Therefore, the correct answer is A

Note:
> A revenue court is basically a revenue officer who acts as a judicial instead of an executive capacity.
> Thus the classes of revenue courts are the same as that of the revenue officers.
> Ordinarily, a revenue officer of any grade is a revenue court of the same grade and his jurisdiction in one capacity is co-extensive with his jurisdiction in the other.
