Section 117 in Bihar Board's Miscellaneous Rules, 1958
117. Note-books.
- The ministerial head of each department should keep a note-book, alphabetically arranged in which should be entered references-as for instance, the number and year of the collection and file-to important orders and precedents relating to his department. This note-book should be handed on by the head of the department to his successors. The Deputy Collector-in-charge and the Collector should occasionally examine the book in order to test the nature of the entries and in order also to obtain some fair idea of the officer's business capabilities. Such a book properly maintained and referenced would diminish considerably the labours of the record-keeper, who is often called upon to search blindly for correspondence and precedents.
