Where in the code book does it state that 20 amp duplex receptacle outlets should not be used on a 20 amp multi wire branch circuit?

e.g. 20 amp breaker with #12 wire and (7) 20 amp duplex receptacles.

Does the code state that the duplex receptacles in this arrangement must be 15 amps?
If so, where?

Thank you very much for your help!
 
Take a look at Table 210.21(B)(3). It allows either 20 amp or 15 amp receptacles, on a 20 amp circuit.
