First among the equals

Hi all,It is said that Revenue officers are " First among the equals" in Taluka, Subdivision, District and Division. But now days it can be seen that other departments are denying superiority of Revenue Dept over other depts. Senior Most District officers of other dept don’t attend meetings of Collector personally. They even dare to ingnore instruction given by Collector as Distrct Head.Same is the condition of SDO and Tahsildars.SDPO feels that SDO is not superior to him . PI , BDO, DY Engg donot think they are answerable to Tahsildar to any extent as taluka head.I have some questions regarding this. 1. Is there any circular/GR abt Div Commissioner ,Collector, SDO , Tahsildar are representatives of Govt. in Divison,District, Sub Division and Taluka respectively ?2. If so , do we have any written orders, circulars of govt.saying that we should be treated " First among the equals" and we have some supervisory powers over other depts regarding functioning of Govt. machinery.Can our members in Mantralaya search for such circulars/GRs/ orders and communicate to all.Abhijeet BhandeTahsildar Raver,Dist. Jalgaon.
