POLICE PATIL.
The police patil is the principal village official. Prior to 1st January, 1963 there were revenue patils functioning at most of the villages. From 1st January, 1963 the posts of revenue patils have been abolished and equal number of revenue patils have been appointed as police patils under section 5 of the Bombay Village Police Act, 1867. In smaller villages only one person was doing the duties of revenue as well as police patil. The police patil's duties are laid down in Bombay Village Police Act (VII of 1867).
