PATILS
The Patil is the principal village official. His duties are laid down in Section 207 (Chapter XIII) of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1954, (Madhya Pradesh II of 1955) and the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. Formerly there were Revenue and Police Patils functioning at some villages. From 1st January, 1963, the posts of Revenue Patils have been abolished. In smaller villages only one person was doing the
duties of revenue as well as Police Patil. The Police Patils duties are laid down in the Bombay Village Police Act (VII of 1867).
