(a)The Superintendent of Excise is the Chief Executive Officer in a district. He is directly responsible for every branch of the Excise administration but works in subordination to the Deputy Commissioner, as regards whom he occupied the position of a technical adviser. Subject to the control of the Deputy Commissioner he is empowered to issue order on Excise matters. Copies of such order should be sent to the Sub-divisional Officers. He is in immediate charge of the Sadar Excise office and functions as the head of the office. There should be no any other officer in the middle between the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Excise for smooth and speedy Excise administration.
