Can tehsildar delegate powers to delegate tehsildar

695 votes

There is a Maxim in Law “ Delegatus non protest delegare” which means that a delegate cannot delegate . In other words when a person who has been delegated to do something he cannot delegate the authority given to him to another person . The exception to this rule is that if the person to whom delegation has been made ,has been authorized to delegate his authority to other person and As such, if the Tashildar has not been authorized, by instruction / guidelines of the concerned Deptt. to delegate his powers to Deputy Tehsildar , the delegation of power is null and void.

Tahsildar can delegate his/her powers to a Deputy Tahsildar. You say that the matter is related to a Property case that is going on in the High Court in Karnataka. My opinion is that a Tahsildar cannot delegate his/her powers to a Deputy Tahsildar except on the basis of a GO or notification to that effect. For sharing documents case laws you need to ask the lawreto to set up a consultation with any advocate of your choice.

As a normal practice delegation of powers from Collector to Tehsildar and Tehsildar to the Dy Tehsildar do take place as per the state govt policy issued from time to time. However exact advice can be given only on scrutiny of documents.
