Regulation—48

Bohmong
Chief

According
to the established usage and custom of the Bohmong Chircle, the office of the
Bohmong Chief is a customary office and not an elected or political office on
politico administrative considerations. Both the Government and the Court have
to recognise their custom and usage and not to introduce any other criterion or
factor which will add to the customary requirements of that office. The introduction
of an element of political acceptability of a claimant to the office of the
Bohmong Chief is an extraneous consideration in the selection of the Bohmong
Chief, which is an alien criterion for selection.
