Section 51 in Management and Working of the Forests
51. Maintenance of accounts by forest subordinates not in charge of ranges.
- A Divisional Forest Officer may authorise any subordinate officer not in charge of a range to issue permits for petty sales of forest produce, to collect revenue and issue receipts for same and to receive small advances for payment for work done. A forest subordinate thus authorised may or may not maintain a cash book for this purpose, but he will render proper accounts to his Range Officer at suitable intervals for incorporation in the latter's cash book in accordance with such instructions as may be issued by the [Chief] Conservator of Forests, (vide Appendix XIX).
