Section 338(b) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(b)Superintendents and Circle Inspectors shall scrutinize the entries in the history sheets whenever they visit a police-station. The opinion of the officer-in-charge of the police-station regarding the removal of names or the addition of new names should not be accepted as a matter of course, but the Superintendent should, whenever possible, proceed to the village where the suspect or ex-convict resides, and by questioning the villagers ascertain whether it is necessary to bring the suspect or ex-convict under surveillance. It may be occasionally expedient for the Superintendent to inform privately a person brought under surveillance that his conduct has been suspicious and that his movements will be closely watched by the police.
