POLICE PATILS
Prior to 1st January, 1963, there were Revenue and Police Patils functioning in some villages. The Patil was supposed to be the principal village official and his duties were laid down in Section 207 of the Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code, 1954. From 1st January 1963, the posts of Revenue Patils have been abolished and the relevant section repealed from the Code as his work is now being looked after by the Patwari. The Bombay Village Police Act (VIII of 1867) provides for the appointment of a Police Patil and prescribes his duties vis a vis to the villages of which he is in charge.
