In case the Collector is dead or disabled, who performs his duties?

Under the relevant revenue law, if a Collector dies, becomes incapacitated, or is otherwise unable to perform official duties, those duties do not remain vacant. They are performed by the Successor Collector (or the officer legally succeeding to the office) until a duly appointed Collector assumes charge. This provision ensures continuity in revenue administration, land management, and the exercise of statutory powers without interruption.
