, As often happens not even the `Roaja of a village is to be found, and then the
only course is to apply to the head zeminder such as the Poang Raja, or Kalindi Rani to produce
the person wanted while they having a thorough knowledge of their ryots and a hold over them,
have no difficulty in doing.

, "Formerly the head of a village (or what we
miscall a Talookder) was appointed by the Chief being generally the most able man of the village
was set forward by his village fellows to be their mouthpiece and through whom they paid their
tribute."
"This was what was formerly the custom". 9

Government of East Pakistan

Office of the Deputy Commissioner

Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Order
It has been brought to my notice that of late the Magistrates Courts as well as the police are taking
cognizance of tribal cases whereas tribal courts exist for this purpose vide Rule 40 of the Chittagong Hill
Tracts Manual.
It is therefore ordered that henceforth Magistrates Court or the police should not take cognizance of any
cases of tribal nature, particularly relating to complaints arising out of enticement/elopement etc. of tribal
girls by tribesmen or plainsmen. On receiving such complaints, the Magistrates or the Police Officer
concerned must refer the case to the tribal court (i.e. Headman) for necessary action under intimation to the
Deputy Commissioner.
