(27). In like manner any pativari who shall alter, fabricate, falsify, 

 or mutilate the accounts of the village to which he belongs or shall 

 furnish to the kanungo or Collector false, fabricated, or mutilated 

 copies of those accounts, shall be held and considered guilty of forgery, 

 and shall be liable, on conviction, to the penalties which are or may 

 be prescribed for that offence, and any person who shall cause or 

 procure any such forgery, shall be liable to the same penalties as those 

 convicted of having actually committed the offence. 



(33). In cases in which from local or other sufficient causes, it may 

 appear impracticable or inexpedient to cause the appointment in any 

 estate or farm of patwaris in the mode prescribed in this Regulation, as 

 for instance, in certain estates consisting chiefly of hills and forests in 

 the South-Western Frontier, and in very small mahals, the accounts of 

 which are kept by the proprietors themselves, it shall be competent 

 to the Board of Revenue to suspend its operation in such estates or 

 farms. 



Provided, however, that in all such cases the person by whom the 

 village accounts are kept, whether proprietor or farmer or gomasta or 

 other officer, shall furnish the kanungo of the pargana with such 

 accounts and statements as the Collector, with the approval of the 

 Board, may direct, and shall be subject to the provision contained in 

 sections 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27 of this Regulation, and the proprietors or 

 others by whom they may be employed, shall likewise be subject to 

 the provisions contained in sections 26 and 27. 



(34). No court of judicature shall take cognizance of the complaint 

 of a patwari against the landholder or the tenants of a village for 

 refusing to remunerate his labours, nor shall any court of judicature 

 take cognizance of any complaint against a Collector for, or on account 

 of, any decision passed by him in virtue of the powers with which he 

 is vested by this Regulation. 



(35). It shall be the duty of the Collectors to furnish the Board of 

 .Revenue with a periodical report of all judgments passed by them 

 under section 20 of this Regulation, and such judgments shall be 

 liable to reversal or alteration by the Board or Commissioner at any 

 time within six months after passing the same, but not later. 



(36). All sums adjudged by the Collector in favour of a patwari 

 under section 20, and all fines directed to be levied by this Regulation, 

 shall be recoverable by the same processes as arrears of public revenue,
