Defaulters’ Book

The Comptroller of Customs shall keep a Defaulters’ Book with a separate page for each boatman and shall enter therein every occasion when such boatman shall have been reprimanded or punished giving a short statement of the offence and of the punishment awarded. Whenever a District Magistrate shall have reprimanded or punished a boatman, and no appeal has been made to the Minister, he shall at once inform the Comptroller of Customs of the nature of the charge and the punishment awarded in order that it may be registered in the Defaulters’ Book.
