Section 362(c) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(c)The village chaukidar is of great importance as an aid to police work. Without his assistance even the most active officer cannot know all that is going on in his jurisdiction. The chaukidar is not a well-trained or highly intelligent agent but he is capable of much good work, and the results attained depend very largely on the care, attention and tact exercised by the officer-in-charge of the police-station.
