State Act
Section 8. Chaukidar to obtain particulars and to report to registrar.
The Assam Births and Deaths Registration Act, 1935 (Single Document)
This Act was repealed on a date we do not have by Registration of Birth and Death Act, 1969 (18 of 1969) (named as the Act repealing it in the Assam Legislative Department's list of repealed Acts, alphabetical_repealed_act_final.pdf; the list gives no date); it may still apply to matters that began before then.
8. Every chaukidar or other village watchman in any area to which this Act shall apply, or, where there is no chaukidar or other village watchman, such person as the 1[District Magistrate] may appoint, shall be required to report every birth or death occurring within his beat to such registrar and at such periods as the 2[District Magistrate] may direct. He shall obtain in writing, if possible, and if it is impossible for him to obtain in writing, he shall obtain verbally, from any person who is bound to give information of the birth or death, all particulars which are required to be known and registered and he shall report such particulars to the registrar.
