Section 708(x) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(x)When a poddar accompanies a remittance he is responsible during the whole course of the journey for the contents of the boxes and the police guard acts as an escort. The poddar will not interfere in any way in the performance by the escort of its legitimate duties but he must be permitted to satisfy himself that all necessary precautions are being taken. In the event of damage occurring to a box it is the duty of the poddar to take over any coin that may fall out and to verify the contents and repack the box if repacking becomes necessary. The escort commander must not permit the poddar to be interfered with in the execution of his duties.
