Chief Court Financial Commissioners Divisional and Sessions Judges Commissioners Civil Criminal District Judges Deputy Commissioners Asst. and Extra Asst. Commissioners Subordinate Judges _Tahsildars_ _Munsifs_ _Naib-Tahsildars_ ~Tahsildars and Assistant and Extra Assistant Commissioners.~--Thus the chain of executive authority runs down to the _tahsildar's_ assistant or _naib_ through the Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner, the _tahsildar_ being directly responsible to the latter. The Assistant and Extra Assistant Commissioners are the Deputy Commissioner's Assistants at headquarters, and as such are invested with powers in all branches. The _tahsildar_, a very important functionary, is in charge of a _tahsil_. He is linked on to the village estates by a double chain, one official consisting of the _kanungos_ and the _patwaris_ or village accountants whom they supervise, the other non-official consisting of the village headmen and the _zaildars_, each of whom is the intermediary between the revenue and police staffs and the villages. ~Subdivisional Officers.~--In some heavy districts one or more _tahsils_ are formed into a subdivision and put in charge of a resident Assistant or Extra Assistant Commissioner, exercising such independent authority as the Deputy Commissioner thinks fit to entrust to him. ~The Deputy Commissioner and his Assistants.~--As the officer responsible for the maintenance of order the Deputy Commissioner is District Magistrate and has large powers both for the prevention and punishment of crime. The District Superintendent is his Assistant in police matters. The Civil Surgeon is also under his control, and he has an Indian District Inspector of Schools to assist him in educational business. The Deputy Commissioner is subject to the control of the Divisional Commissioner. ~Financial Commissioners.~--In all matters connected with land, excise, and income tax administration the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are subject to the control of the Financial Commissioners, who are also the final appellate authority in revenue cases. As chief district revenue officer the Deputy Commissioner's proper title is "Collector," a term which indicates his responsibility for the realization of all Government revenues. In districts which are canal irrigated the amount is in some cases very large.
