Police Station Jurisdiction - District and the railway police sub-divisions are divided into police station jurisdictions according to istrative convenience and in order to meet the requirements or the Code of Criminal Procedure [section 4 (1)(s)]. The boundaries of these jurisdictions have all been fixed from time to time on the authority of the Provincial Government, and are unalterable save under the same authority. Outposts are located where necessary for the control of crime and are subordinate to the police stations in the jurisdictions of which they are located. Normally, a police station is in charge of a sub-Inspector of police and an outpost in commanded by an assistant sub-Inspectors head constable. No alteration in the number of police stations and outposts or in the boundaries of police station jurisdictions may be made without the sanction of the Provincial Government. Proposals for such alterations shall be submitted, in the form outlined in Appendix 1-10, by Superintendents of Police, through the District Magistrate to the Deputy Inspector-General of the range.

Sub-inspectors, and officers junior to a sub-inspector, may arrest under the orders of the officer in charge of a Police station under section 55, Code of Criminal Procedure, the persons detailed in that section. The definition of “officer in charge of a police station,” in section 4(1) (p). Code of Criminal Procedure, empowers other police officers, in certain circumstances, to exercise the powers of such an officer. The powers of sub-inspectors, who are not officers in charge of police station and junior officers, in dealing with unlawful assemblies, are explained in Rule 14-56(3). 1-13.

The expression “uppers subordinate” includes all enrolled police offices of and above the rank of assistant sub-inspector. The expression “lower subordinate” includes all other enrolled police officers. PART II- RELATIONS BETWEEN POLICE AND MAGISTRATES 1-14. The Commissioner - The Commissioner exercised through his district Magistrates a general control over the istration of his division in criminal as in other matters, and is specially responsible for the maintenance of co-operation between the police and the magistracy. 1[* * * *] He is expected to give attention to special reports and measures for dealing with special types of crime, [2]1[* * * *] the location of additional police quartered in disturbed areas and the work of the prosecuting agency. It is the duty of the Deputy Inspector General of the range to keep the Commissioner of the division fully informed of tall matters of importance concerning the efficiency of the police and the state of crime. 1-15. The District Magistrate - The District Magistrate is the head of the criminal istration of the district, and the police force is the instrument provided by government to enable him to enforce his authority and fulfil his responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. The police force in a district is, therefore, placed by law under the general control and direction of the District Magistrate who is responsible that it carries out its duties in such a manner that effective protection is afforded to the public against lawlessness and disorder. In the exercise of this control the district Magistrate is required to inspect police stations. He shall exercise no executive authority in matter which concern solely the internal istration and training of the force, or in questions of discipline as between police officers and their departmental superiors, but his general control extends to all other matters. In all that affects the relations between the police and the public or the keeping of the public peace, the District Magistrate must be consulted and his orders complied with. He may (a) require the Superintendent to furnish him with any documents relating to the conduct of any subordinate enrolled police officer in any case in which the conduct or character of such police officer is likely to affect his dealings with the public or the prevention and detection of crime; (b) direct the Superintendent to enquire into any allegation of misconduct or neglect of duty on the part of any subordinate enrolled police officer in any case in which such misconduct or neglect of duty affects, or is likely to affect, such officer’s dealings with public, or the prevention and detection of crime, and to submit the record to superior police authority ; and (c) direct the Superintendent to furnish information on any matter connected with crime, the criminal classes, the prevention of disorder or the distribution of the police force, or on any other matter not connected solely with the internal istration of the force. It exercising his powers of control, the district Magistrate should avoid doing anything to weaken the authority of the Superintendent. All communications between the District Magistrate and the police shall, whenever possible, be conveyed through, and all instructions and orders to them shall similarly be issued from, the Superintendent. NOTE The above rule covers the position of district Magistrates in relation to the railway police. The District Magistrate has no departmental authority over such police, but his responsibility for the criminal istration of his district includes that portion of the railway police jurisdiction which lies within it. He has, therefore, the same authority to call for information and to inspect police stations which he has in respect of the district police, and the same interest in the prevention, detection and prosecution of railway crime as in the in the case of district crime. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

1-16. Duties of Superintendent towards District Magistrate - The primary duty of the Superintendent of Police is to afford the District Magistrate the utmost possible assistance, both himself and through the police force under his command, in the preservation of the peace and the prevention or detection of crime. He shall keep in close and constant personal touch with the district Magistrate and shall keep him fully and promptly informed both by personal conference and by written reports, of all matters relating to crime and public order. While it is his duty to initiate action of the police in such matter, he must keep the District Magistrate informed and be guided by his orders. The Superintendent of Police shall keep the District Magistrate informed of his movements generally when away from headquarters, and shall conform to his wishes should the District Magistrate, for reasons connected with the criminal istration of the district, require the Superintendent of Police to proceed to any place in the district or to remain at headquarters at any time. 1-17. Authority of District Magistrate in regard to postings, & c - All postings, removals and transfers of officers in charge of police stations within a district, shall be made by the Superintendent with the approval of the District Magistrate. If the district Magistrate considers the presence of a police officer of or below the rank of sub-inspector prejudicial to the welfare of the locality in which he is posted, he may direct his transfer elsewhere within the district. In the case of dis-satisfaction with the work or conduct of officers above the rank of sub-inspector, District Magistrate shall communicate their complaint to the Deputy Inspector General of the range. 1-18. Sub-divisional and subordinate Magistrates - The authority of a sub-divisional or a subordinate magistrate over the police is strictly limited to the powers given him by law in the exercise of his judicial functions. Any adverse comments on the proceedings of the police, which he may make, shall be communicated to the Superintendent through the District Magistrate. Similarly, if he considers that any police officer should be called on to explain his conduct, he shall report the facts of the case to the District Magistrate, who will take such action, as he considers necessary. 1-19. Sub-divisional and subordinate Magistrate – Co-operation with - Sub-divisional and subordinate are held strictly responsible, under the control of the District Magistrate, for the maintenance of the peace of the area which is made over so their charge; though they have no extra-judicial authority over the police, they are not merely Judges. The law gives them many more powers than those required for hearing cases, and they are interested in every crime in their jurisdiction from the moment of its commission. The maintenance of law and order and the suppression of crime depend upon the efforts of the public, the magistracy and the police and not upon the energy of any one of these alone. The most intimate and friendly cooperation between the police and the magistracy as a whole, and between particular magistrates and the police stationed in the area of their jurisdiction, is essential. Superintendents of Police must encourage such co-operation by every means and must sternly check all contrary tendencies. Gazetted officers and upper subordinates should cultivate friendly personal relations with all magistrates with whom their work brings them in , and every opportunity should be taken to keep magistrates informed of the state of crime in their ilagas. Conferences between magistrates and police officers, at which difficulties on either side can be discussed and remedies devised, should be encouraged; police officers coming in with chalans should frequently take the opportunity of obtaining an interview with the ilaga Magistrate and discussing with him the state of crime in their jurisdictions; and prosecuting officers, who form a valuable link between the investigating officer and the magistracy, should be instructed to on to magistrates any information of interest of importance regarding criminal matters of which they may be aware. NOTE The remarks of the Indian Police Commission, 1902-03, on the subject of relations between the police and magistrates are published as Appendix 119. 1-20. Rights of sub-division and subordinate Magistrates to inspect police records - Sub-Divisional and subordinate magistrates are not authorized to inspect police stations or to record remarks or criticisms in inspection books provided that the District Magistrate, which the concurrence of the Deputy Inspector-General, may permit a Sub-divisional Magistrate, who is a senior Assistant Commission, to make such inspectors, and to record his remarks in the inspection book. A Sub-divisional, or Ilage Magistrate, may, however, in his executive capacity, call for any of the records and ed which deal with crime for a police station, and may request the officer in charge of a police station to come to him and explain them. The orders of Government regulating the production of police records in courts of law are contained in rules 27-24. 1-21. Police to obey all orders issued in judicial capacity - The police shall obey and execute all lawful orders issued to them by judicial officers in the exercise of the powers conferred on them by law. APPENDIX No. 1-18 FORM OF GAZETTE NOTIFICATION ALTERING POLICE STATIONS JURISDICTION [3][No change in the jurisdiction of Police Stations effective till a Gazette Notification that been published by the Provincial Government. The Notification should show the complete jurisdiction of affected Police Stations for convenience of the Police. Care should be taken to see that the jurisdiction of the Police Station does not cut across the boundaries of the Civil Sub-Division in which the Police Station is located] The Governor in Council is please, under the provisions of clause (5) of sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to direct the transfer of the villages enumerated in column 3 of the sub-ed schedule, and situated in the zails mentioned in column 2, from the local areas of the police station mentioned in column to the local areas of the police stations mentioned in column 5 thereof, with effect from the date of the issue of this notification:--2. Recommendations for alterations in police stations jurisdictions shall be ed by the following information:--(a) A map on which the proposed alterations are clearly marked. (b) A statement showing the crime for the past three years of the police stations affected, with an explanation of the effect on these figures of the changes proposed. (c) A statement showing area and population of the police stations affected as before and after the proposed change. 1[3. “In framing such proposals the main object should be to secure an even and manageable distribution of crime between police stations, accessibility between police station and its villages, and the police station and court of the Magistrate incharge of the jurisdiction. APPENDIX No. 1-18 EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE INDIAN POLICE COMMISSION, 1902-03 124. Omitted. This is the connection which the law intends to exist between the magistrate empowered to take cognizance of police cases and the police. It involves the first information being sent to this magistrate, his being able to watch the case from the first, to order investigation where the police are not investigating, or to investigation up to the very last. His connection with the case is intended to begin with the first information and to continue to the end; through out he is intended to exercise an intelligent interest in the. These provisions are very generally lost sight of. The intention of the law is defeated when the first information is sent, not as required by section 157 to the magistrate having jurisdiction, but nominally to the District Magistrate, really to a prosecuting inspector or other official at the headquarters, who files it until the case is sent up finally for trial. It is also defeated when the magistrate assumes what he imagines to be a judicial attitude, and never looks at a paper or takes any interest in the case until it comes before him in court, and proceeds to dispose of it with regard only to what is put before him by the parties without any effort to do what more he can to arrive at the truth. A valuable check on police work and valuable powers in criminal istration are thus lost. 125. The intention of the law is that the police and the magistracy should work together, the former investigating the case for the magistrate, and the latter conducting the magisterial enquiry or trial, weighing the evidence collected by the police, sifting further any points that have been missed or inadequately treated, hearing all that the accused has to say or adduce on his own behalf, and deciding the case in the interest of truth and justice. 126. Omitted.

The Police Rules, 1934
The courts should be encouraged to take notice of any misconduct on the part of a police office, or of any reasonable suspicion that he has been guilty of such misconduct. Unless such misconduct is established after hearing any explanation the police officer concerned may have to offer, or unless reference to it is necessary for the elucidation of the case, it is only just to him that no notice of it should be taken in the judgment; but a separate note should be at once forwarded to the District Magistrate, who should pay due attention to it, conducing by competent and impartial agency any enquiry that may be necessary, and absolving from blame any police officer who may after all be found innocent of fault, but taking adequate notice of any misconduct that may be established. NOTE The principles enunciated in the concluding portion of the above quotation have been accepted by the Provincial Government and are embodied in Chief Court Circular No. 7-3428-G, of 19th September 1903, which reads as follows:--Chief Court Circular No. 7-3428-G, dated the 19th September 1903. Dated Lahore, the 19th September 1903. To – All Sessions Judges, District Magistrates and Subordinate Criminal Courts in the Punjab. The attention of the presiding officers of all criminal courts is called to the following extract from the proceedings of His Honour the LieutenantGovernor of the Punjab in the Home (Police) Department, No. 1632-S, dated 30th August 1903:--“ The Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Inspector-General of Police that it is undesirable for magistrates to make remarks in criminal cases censuring the action of police officers unless such remarks are strictly relevant to the case and the officers concerned have had an opportunity of explaining their action. If remarks to which exception can be taken come to the notice of the Inspector General of Police, they should be referred for the orders of the Lieutenant-Governor, who will invite the attention of the Hon’able Judges of the Chief Court to any case in which action can appropriately be taken.” The Hon’able Judges trust that all courts will be careful in future to observe the rule laid down in these remarks. District Magistrates should themselves take whatever action seems desirable in any case coming to their notice in which the spirit of the rule has been infringed by any court subordinate to them. CHAPTER II-Establishment 2-1. Permanent establishment how fixed – The permanent establishment of a district is fixed on a careful calculation of the actual number of men required for fixed duties plus the percentage approved by Government as a reserve to provide for casualties and training in the various ranks. The establishment of each district is shown in a distribution statement in Form 2-1, issued by the Inspector General. 2-2. Fixed duties – (1) The term “fixed duties” includes:--(a) Cantonment and city police. (b) Rural police stations and their subordinate posts. (c) Headquarter establishment; guards; escorts; specialists (e.g., traffic staff); armed reserves, and mounted police. (d) Office and court duties. (2) Under division A the establishment required shall be calculated separately for (1) the investigation and station house staff (2) the watch and ward staff. No general scale can be laid down. In calculating the investigation and station house strength the principles by which the strength of rural police stations is fixed (sub-rul 3 below) shall be followed as far as possible, but additional provision will frequently be necessary for duties such as telephone orderlies, extra clercial staff, detective staff, a permanent lock-up-guard, & c. In estimating the beat staff it is necessary to plot out on a map after close study of local conditions, the number of fixed points (other than special traffic points) day and night beats, and patrols required for each town or cantonment. Careful consideration shall be given to economizing men by providing intermittent patrols instead of fixed points of beats, and by providing means of locomotion to enable a few men to cover a considerable area, wherever possible. When the number of beats, & c., has been fixed, the establishment necessary to furnish them shall be calculated on the basis of every man performing eight hours duty in each period of twenty-four hours. On this basis, the necessary calculations can be made for, and rotation of duties fixed between day and night duties, duties lasting throughout the twentyfour hours, and intermittent duties. Supervision over the watch and ward staff shall be provided at the rate of 1 head constable to every 10 Constables; 1 assistant sub-inspector to every 5 head constables and 1 sub inspector to every 100 constables. No ratio between police and population is prescribed, except that in the case of towns with a population of over 30,000 the total strength of police for watch and ward should not ordinarily exceed one constable to every inhabitants. In each case local conditions, such as the volume of commercial activity, the importance and frequency of fairs and festivals, the general criminality of the neighbourhood and the like must be considered. (3) The strength of rural police stations (division B) is based mainly on the incidece of crime. A normal police station is held to be one ing an average of seventy-five cases a year. For such a police station the minimum staff shall be 1 sub-inspector, 1 assistant sub-inspector, 1 head constable (clerk and 12 foot constables. In police stations, where crime is very light the number of constables may be reduced to ten. For every fifty cases above the normal figure shown to be the annual average of a police station, the staff shall be increased by 1 assistant sub-inspector and 2 constables. This standard calculation may be varied for adequate reasons in special cases. The staff of outposts shall be calculated strictly in accordance with the duty it is required to perform. (4) In division C, headquarter establishment shall be calculated in exact detail of authorized posts to be filled. Under this heading shall be included all enrolled personnel of the Lines establishment, instructors, orderlies, of all descriptions, and upper subordinates, who do not come under any other division. Guards shall be calculated at the actual strength required to form each guard, four constables being allotted to each sentry post, the number of constables allotted to each sentry post being fixed in accordance with rule 18.5(5) and a second head constable being provided for each guard which furnishes more than two sentries. The strength required for escorts shall be calculated on the scales laid down in Chapter XVIII in relation to the average demands in the district for treasure and prisoners escorts, other than the escorting of under-trial prisoners to and from the Court. Provision may be made, if necessary, for escorts at sub-divisions as well as at head quarters. The staff of specialists shall include the special detective staff or traffic staff and such other personnel as may be authorized for particular duties not included in any other division. The strength required for traffic duties shall be calculated on the lines prescribed in sub-rule (2) above for watch and ward duties; other special staff shall be calculated in strict accordance with actual duties to be performed. (5) Court and office duties (division D) shal be calculated according to the actual number of posts to be filled both at district headquarters and at sub-divisions and other magisterial headquarters on the scale prescribed by Pol8ice Rules or other competent authority. In addition, establishment shall be provided, on the scale prescribed in Chapter XVIII and on the basis of the average daily number, for the escort of under-trial prisoners to and from the Courts, and the guarding of such prisoners in Court, at district headquarter and all other places where such escorts are permanently required. (6) In the calculation of fixed duties no provision shall be made for reserves or for reliefs otherwise than as provided in the foregoing sub-rules. Deficiencies in strength of short duration shall be met by curtailment of duties; those of longer duration, caused by leave, other than casual leave resignations, etc., shall be made good from the reserves referred to in rule 2.3 below. 2-3. Reserves – Reserves in the various ranks are fixed to provide for casualties and training. Reserves in the ranks of gazetted officers are included in the cadres, as fixed by the Government of Pakistan. [4][* * *]. That in the rank of sub-inspectors at 15 percent of the sanctioned number of Pakistani inspectors and sub-inspectors; that in the rank of head constables at 14 percent of the sanctioned number of assistant sub-inspectors and head constables and that in the rank of constable at 16.5 percent of the number of constables sanctioned for fixed duties The strength of armed reserves and mounted police is fixed for each district in accordance with the orders of the Provincial Government. 2-4. Authorized duties – In calculating establishment every duty for which proper authority exists shall be included, and authority shall be obtained from the Inspector-General for any duty the necessity of which can be established, if it is not already authorized. Police shall on no be supplies, except as provided in rule 2-16 or for other emergent and purely temporary occasions, for duties which are not so authorized. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

In the case of proposals for reduction of establishment similar adjustments shall be made. The allotment of posts to selection grads shall be made in districts officers for the rank of constables, in range offices for the rank of sub-inspectors and in the Central Police Office for other ranks. PART II –ADDITIONAL POLICE 2-5.

(3) All sums recovered under this rule shall be credited to the “XXIII-Police collections of payments for services rendered – Receipts on of additional police under sections 13, 14 and 15 of Polce Act, V of 1861,” and at the end of the month, recovery shall be made from the treasury on special additional police pay bills for disbursement to the actual police officers, in accordance with the principles laid down in Inspector General’s letter No.106S/95-4.B-27-A, dated the 31st May 1928, namely that remuneration shall only be given when extra duties performed involve less than 24 hours absence from normal duty. Thus if a constable is deputed to attend a private function, such as a wedding, which involve his absence normal duty throughout the whole of one working day, say from sunrise to midnight, he will be considered as having performed over-time duty and will entitled to extra remuneration, but should the duty involve his absence from sunrise to sunset of the following pay, he will not considered as on over-time duty and will be entitled to no remuneration in addition to his pay. Superintendent may, however, use their discretion in dealing with cases in which, in their opinion, the 24 hour rule cannot in fairness be applied. (4) In deciding when to supply police at the public expense, and when to charge the promotors of particular function, Superintendents shall be guided by the general principal that the regular police establishment is required to perform all the duties of maintaining public order, which fall within the scope of section 31 of the Police Act. When special arrangements are necessary or desired over and above those which the general public interests demand, the person or persons responsible for the assembly concerned should pay for additional police. The law does not permit of compulsion being exercised in this matter, but Superintendents may tender their advice and indicate that no more police than are necessary to prevent obstruction to the general public will be provided unless paid for.

It must be borne in mid, however, that thikri pahra essentially and emergency as opposed to and every day routine measure, When imposed on villagers as a continuous routine it becomes irksome and is consequently perfunctorily performed. The compulsory provisions of Punjab Act VIII should only be employed as last resource. (2) When in any place or part of a district conditions exist or are apprehended such as are described in section 17, Act of 1861, the Superintendent of Police Shall approach the District Magistrate for the appointment of special police under that section. (3) Non-officials employed for purposes of maintaining order and on the duties of special polce shall ordinarily be enrolled under section 17, Act V of 1861, but, where a sudden crisis renders recourse to assistance from the ordinary civil population a matter of immediate necessity in the public interest, the aid of respectable and trustworthy persons may be enlisted forthwith in the maintenance of law and order without enrolment, if the danger and urgency of the situation, in the opinion of the District Magistrate, justifies their employment without the formality of enrolment. The rules regarding enrolment, discipline, etc., of such special police are given in Appendix No. 2-24(3). APPENDIX No. 2-24(3) RULES FOR THE ENROLMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS 1. When the entertainment of special police officers becomes necessary, or desirable, efforts should be made to appoint volunteers under section 17 of the Police Act (V of 1861) up to the numbers and in the various ranks required. No unwilling person should be appointed unless sufficient volunteers cannot be found. 2. Under section 17 of Act V of 1861, residents of a disturbed area may be appointed special police officers of any rank, but no such police officers shall be appointed to a rank equal to that of the senior officers of the regular police present on the spot. 3. Special police officers shall be subordinate to, and be under the orders of, the senior officer of the regular police present on the spot. 4. Special police officers should ordinarily be chosen from among the respectable, loyal, and influential persons of the neighbouhood whose authority is likely to be respected by the masses and who are likely to use their influence to prevent disturbances. It is not desirable ot choose ring-leaders of contentious factions unless such ring-leaders are really influential persons and in no case should a special officer be appointed as a punitive measure. 5. When special police officers are appointed, the more influential and useful from amongst them may be appointed to senior rank above the others, and be required to enforce discipline as laid down in police rules among the special police officers appointed under their command. 6. Whenever possible special police officers of good social standing should be encouraged to bring with them their tenants and dependants, who will ordinarily be enrolled as special police officers of the lower subordinate grades, a post being to the special police officer through whose agency the lower subordinates are enrolled, subject to the provision of rule 2 foregoing. 7. Special police officers of the lower subordinate ranks will ordinate may, with ordinarily be armed with batons or lathis at the discretion of the Superintendent of Police. 8. An armlet or brassard with the letter S. P. and Serial No. should be issued to such special police officer other than those appointed to rank as upper subordinates. NOTE. Special police officers of the rank of upper subordinate may, with advantage, be given a Sam Browne belt with a revolver or sword if such articles are available. 9. A special police officer of the rank of upper subordinate will be entitled to receive all courtesies due to an officer of his rank, but his authority will extend only to special police officers under his orders and not to officers of the regular police. Influential persons of superior social standing who may be enrolled, should, as a rule, be employed on staff and supervising duties and given relatively higher rank than others of lower status similarly enrolled. Such persons should not have menial or unreasonable duties assigned to them, but the object should be to employ them in the manner best suited to make their personal influence effective. 10. Discipline – The requirements in this respect should usually be light. Any conditions of the office which might be regarded by local residents as offensive and unnecessarily irksome should not be insisted on. Physical drill, for instance, would in most cases be inappropriate and the saluting of petty officers unnecessary, while parades or attendance at the police station, when necessary, should be so regulated as to cause as ltitle inconvenience as possible. 11. A copy of sections 17 to 21 inclusive of Police Act (V f 1861) and also a copy of rules relating to the enrolment, etc., of special police officers shall be given to each special police officer as soon after enrolment as may be possible. 12. Superintendent of Police entertaining special police will arranged for their feeding by the purchase and distribution of food according to the following scale:1-1/2 lbs. atta, or in lieu rice 1-1/2 lbs. 4 oz. dhal. 4 oz. fresh meat (or in lieu 4 oz. gur). 1/ oz. 2

The revolver issued to upper subordinates are the property of Government and consequently exempt from license. (3) Presentation of guns and other arms by the police for good work in criminal cases will be made only under the orders of the Provincial Government. Such arms are thus exempted under the Schedule attached to Indian Arms Act – (vide letter No. 474(Home – Genl.), dated the 28th May, 1921, from Home Secretary to Government, Punjab). APPENDIX No. 6-10(2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING MUSKETS B.L. .410 BEFORE AND AFTER FIRING Requirements:– Pullthroughs, .303 arms … 1 per musket Gauze, wire (4” x 1-1/2”) … 1 per musket Bottles, oil … 1 per musket Sticks, cleaning, chamber, .303 arms No.2 … 1 per 6 muskets Oil lubricating, G.S. gails … 2 per 100 muskets Flannelette yds … 111/4 per musket Cleaning Material – The pulthrough which will be kept in the but trap of the musket is provided with three loops. The first loop (the one nearest the weight) is for the wire gauze, the second for the flannelette and the thrid for the purpose of removing the pullthrough should it break or get jammed in the bore. If a jam occurs the man must not attempt to remove the obstruction but the musket must be taken to the Armourer. Flannelette – No other form of material will be used for cleaning the bore. For cleaning the bore (or for drying it) after firing a price of flannelette large enough to fit the bore tightly, 4”x4” will be used. It will be placed in the second loop of the pullthrough and wrapped round the cord. For oiling the bore a slightly smaller piece 3/4of flannelette will be used. If the piece used is too big, the oil will be scraped off as it enters the bore. The oil should be well rubbed with the fingers into the flannelette. Wire Gauze – In pieces 4” x 11/4, only required after firing buckshot, and when necessary to remove fouling or rust, after ball firing when not removable with the flannelette then only with the permission of an officer. In attaching it to the pullthrough the following method will be adopted:– (i) Find the gauze as in diagram so that the longer sides take the form of an “S”. (ii) Open the front loop of the pullthrough and put one side of it in each loop of the “S”. (iii) Then coil each half of the gauze tightly round that portion of the cord over which it is placed until the two rolls, thus formed, meet. The gauze must be thoroughly oiled before use and care taken to ensure that there are no loose strands of wire which may scratch the bore, then gauze will fit the bore tightly and will, if necessary, be packed with a small piece of flannelette, or other soft material to ensure it is fitting. The gauze wire should not be allowed to remain on the pullthrough. Oil – Service oil is carried in the oil bottle for which a recess in the butt is provided. No other form of lubricant is to be allowed to remain in the bore. Paraffin, though an effective agent in removing rust, will not prevent it. Stick Cleaning Chamber – Made of wood about a foot long, at one end & slot is cut, the other end is cut square to allow a grip to be taken and the stick to be round by hand. A piece of dry flannelette is placed in the slot and sound round the stock (to ensure that the stick is covered). The stick is then ed through the boltway into the chamber and turned round several times. This is the only effective method of cleaning the chamber. Cleaning – Before firing – All traces of oil will be removed from the bore and the action wiped with an oily rag. After firing – (i) Removed the bolt. (ii) Pour about 5 to 6 points of boiling water through the bore from breech to muzzle, using a funnel, point inserted into the chamber. (iii) Insert the weight of pullthrough through the bolt hole of body then draw straight through the barrel from breech to muzzle in one continuous motion. The rifle to be held by the left hand with the of the butt on the ground, and the barrel in line with the direction of pull to avoid the cord rubbing the side of the muzzle, otherwise it will cause a groove to be worn where it rubs against muzzle; this is know as “acord-wear” and affects accuracy and serviceability. (iv) To be repeated as in (iii) until the rag is removed without signs of fouling on it. (v) Clean the breech with a stick cleaning chamber. (vi) Wipe over the face of bolt, clean gas escapes and bayonet boss. (vii) If bayonets have been fixed during firing the bayonet will be carefully wiped before it is returned to the scabbard. All metal parts to be carefully wiped over and oiled. (viii) The barrel to be pulled through with a piece of oily flannelette. The bore will be found to require special care during the three days following firing:For buckshot or when necessary to remove bad “leading” or rust(i) To be treated with boiling water as already detailed.

(ii) The pullthrough to have an oiled gauze wire 4” x 1 ½” attached. Insert weight through the boltway of body (care being taken to ensure the gauze enters chamber correctly and does not jam) and draw straight through the barrel from breech to muzzle. (iii) Followed by a piece of dry flannelette and then an oily piece in the usual way. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLEANING OF .303 RIFLES (a) Cleaning Materials – The pullthrough, which will be kept in the butt trap of the rifle, is provided with three loops. The first loop (the one nearest the weight) is for the wire gauze, the second for the second for the flannelette, and the third for the purpose of removing the pullthrough should it break or get jammed in the bore. If a jam occurs no attempt should be made to remove the obstruction, but the rifle should be taken to the armourer. (i) The pullthrough will be drawn through the barrel from breech to muzzle in one continuous motion. (ii) The cord must be drawn straight through and not allowed to rub against the muzzle of the bore, otherwise it will cause a groove to be worn where it rubs this is known as “cordwear” and affects the accuracy of the rifle. (b) Flannelette – No other form of material will be used for cleaning the bore. For cleaning the bore (or for drying if) after firing, a piece of flannelette large enough to fir the bore tightly, 4 inches by 2 inches, will be used. It will be placed in the second loop of the pullthrough and wrapped round the cord. For oiling the bore a slightly smaller piece of flannelette will be used. If the piece used is too big, the scraped off as it enters the bore. The oil should be well rubbed, with the fingers, into the flannelette. (c) Stick Cleaning Chamber, made of wood about a foot long ; at one end a slot is cut, the other end is cut square to allow a grip to be taken and the stick to be turned by hand. A piece of dry flannelette is paced in the slot and wound round the stick (to ensure that the stick is covered. The stick is then ed through the boltway into the chamber and turned round several times. This is the only effective method of cleaning the chamber. (d) Wire Gauze, in pieces 2 ½ inches by 1 ½ inches, is supplied, but should only be used with the permission of an officer for the purpose of removing hard fouling or rust. Daily cleaning – the exterior of the rifle will be cleaned daily and all particles of dirt or dust removed from the gas escapes and crevices. The frictional parts will be kept slightly oiled. The bore will be pulled through with a piece of flannelette until the rag is clean, and immediately re-oiled. Cleaning before firing – All traces of oil will be removed from the bore, and the action wiped with an oily rag. The cartridge and chamber will on no be oiled before firing, nor will any lubricant be used with a view to facilitate extraction, as such a procedure is liable to injure the rifle. Cleaning after firing – (i) Remove all fouling and grease from the bore. (ii) Pour about 5 or 6 points of boiling water through the bore from breech to muzzle, using a funnel. (iii) Thoroughly dry the bore and proceed to clean the rest of the rifle, thus allowing the bore to cool. (iv) The breech will be cleaned with a stick cleaning chamber. (v) Special attention will be paid to the face of the bolt, gas escapes and bayonet boss. (vi) If boyonets it is returned to the scabbard. (vii) All metal parts will be carefully wiped and oiled, after which the barret will be pulled through with a piece of oily flannelette. The bore will be found to require special care during the three days following firing. (viii) On active service, where boiling water is not normally available, the wire gauze will be used. (ix) Care must be used to prevent the browning from being rubbed off the rifle, as this is a great preventive against rust. Cleaning after firing blank – After firing blank ammunition, special care should be taken that the cleaning is through. Although in this case there is no friction between bullet and bore, and so no internal fouling or “sweating”, there is greater accumulation of superficial fouling from blank than ball cartridge, because there is no bullet in blank ammunition to scour the fouling left by the preceding round. The firing also is in most cases more prolonged, and a greater interval must usually elapse before the rifle can be thoroughly cleaned. When blank firing precedes practice with ball, the rifles will be carefully cleaned before ball practice cmmences. General Notes on care of rifle – (a) When the rifle is not in use, the leaf and slide of the back-sight should be lowered. (b) The mainspring should never be allowed to remain compressed except when the rifle is loaded. The position of the cocking-piece shows whether the mainspring is compressed or not. (c) The magazine must not be removed from the rifle except for cleaning or other special purposes and, to avoid weakening the spring, cartridges should only be kept in it when necessary. A failure of the spring to raise the platform can usually be overcome by tapping the bottom of the magazine smartly with the pelm of the hand. If the failure recurs, the rifle should be taken to the armourer for examination and repair. (d) The bolts of rifles are not to be exchanged. Each bolt is carefully fitted to its own rifle, so that the parts which take the shock of the explosion have an even bearing, and the use of wrong bolt may affect the accuracy of the rifle. The number stamped on the back of the bolt lever should agree with that stamped on the right front of the body. (e) No head constable or constable is permitted to take to pieces any portion of the action, except as prescribed for cleaning, nor is he to loosen or tighten any of the screws. APPENDIX NO. 6-17 (A) RULES TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE PROPER CONTROL AND INSPECTION OF MAGAZINE (1) The magazine shall be at all times kept scrupulously clean. (2) A brush or broom shall be kept in the magazine for cleaning out the magazine on each occasion it is opened for the receipt, delivery or inspection of ammunition. (3) No lights (other than an electric torch) not smoking shall on any be allowed inside or in the immediate vicinity of the magazine. (4) Oiled cotton rags and waste and articles liable to spontaneous ignition shall not be taken into the magazine. (5) Empty boxes shall not be kept in the magazine, nor any loose packing material. (6) Boxes of ammunition shall not be thrown down or dragged along the floor, and shall be stacked in wooden trestles. Where there are white-ants, the legs of the trestles should rest in shallow copper, lead or brass bowls containing a little water. (7) If the magazine has a lighting-conductor, it shall be tested at least once a year. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
(8) The person in charge of the magazine shall be responsible that the magazine is well and securely locked. (9) No unauthorized person shall at any time be itted into the magazine. (10) The following shall be hung up in the magazine: (i) A copy of these rules. (ii) The statement required by rule 6-13(4). (iii) A certificate showing the last date of testing of the lighting conductor. (11) The Superintendent of Police shall make at least one unexpected inspection of the Magazine under his charge every half year to see that the above rules are being complied with. APPENDIX NO. 6-17 (B) INSTRUCTION FOR THE EXAMINATION AND TEST AND STORAGE OF S. A. AMMUNITION ON CHARGE OF POLICE UNITS 1. Small arms ammunition may be divided into two categories as follows:(a) Ammunition in sealed boxes and in open boxes with their lables intact. (b) Pouch or loose ammunition which cannot be identified by make and date. Category A – (a) Ammunition in this category may be considered serviceable without test up to five years from date of manufacture provided that the boxes are intact and have not been subjected to bad storage conditions. The five year limit may be extended indefinitely provided that the ammunition has been used for practice and has given satisfactory result within the last twelve months. (b) Ammunition over five years old which has not been used for practice within the last twelve months, or ammunition on boxes which appear to have been subjected to adverse storage conditions as indicated by rusty linings, etc, will be examined and subjected to a firing test. A sample box from each make and date of manufacture will be opened. The cartridges will be examined visually for evidence of verdigris around the cap and other signs of deterioration. Twenty rounds will be fired from each of 2 riles or muskets into a bank of earth or other safe place to test for missfires, hang fires, split cases, pierced caps, bursts, etc. (c) If the ammunition looks good and fires without failure, it is serviceable. If the ammunition looks good and gives a miss-fire, marked hang fire, pierced cap, burst case, split extending to within one inch of the case, or a detached hose disc, a re-test in different weapons will be carried out. If in the re-test, any of the above defects occur, the ammunition is unserviceable. If no defects occur at the re-test, the ammunition is serviceable. If the ammunition looks doubtful, showing slight verdigris only, and if it es firing test, it is serviceable. If any defect occurs at the firing test, it is unserviceable, providing the rifle or musket in known to be above suspicion. If the ammunition looks bad showing marked verdigris around the cap, it is unserviceable. The examination and test of the sample covers the remaining ammunition of the same make and date except when there is reason to believe that the box opened is not representative of the rest. In that case it will be necessary to examine and test the ammunition from each box. NOTE 1 – When the number of boxes of one make and date is tert or under, they may be grouped with adjacent dates of the same make provided that the group of dates does not exceed 50 boxes and that the dates do not cover a period of more tan 14 days. NOTE 2 – The sample will be taken from an opened box if available. If the result is satisfactory the whole group will be sentenced serviceable. If the result is not satisfactory the sentence will only cover the actual box from which the rounds have been taken and a fresh box will be opened and treated as the sample for the group. Category B – Loose rounds on charges, other than those obviously doubtful from handling and carriage in pouches, will generally be treated as one group. Representative samples will be examined and 40 fired and the ammunition sentenced as for Category A. If there is a large number of loose round on charge and some have obviously been subjected to worse treatment than the others they should be liked into groups according to “condition,” each group being tested and sentenced separately. 2. The foregoing is intended to apply particularly to M. h. Rifles and B.L.-476 bore ammunition. 3. Special instructions for examination of B. L. –410”, -303” and –455” revolver ammunition. (a) The instructions in paragraph I apply also to the above mentioned ammunition with the following exceptions. The casualties that may occur are miss-fires, hang fires, pierced caps, blow backs, burst cases or split cases. A blow-back is an escape of gas between the cap and the wall of the cap chamber, if serious, it will be indicated by an escape of gas from the gas escape hole on the left of the barrel body at the moment of firing. The base of the cartridge case will be badly blackened by this casualty. A burst case is a fracture either at the base or within 1 ½ inches of the base of the cartridge case. Fractures further forward on the case body are known as splits and if only occasional may be ignored. Bursts are to be regarded as serious casualties. 4. When in doubt as to sentence, the matter should be referred to the Chief Ordnance Officer at the nearest arsenal who will arrange for such tests as may be necessary and advise accordingly, or in case of further doubt, refer to the inspector of Ammunition, Kirkee. 5. Storage – Boxes containing S. A. A. should be kept raised a few inches from the floor by ing the bottom layer on battens or other suitable s ; they should also be kept a few inches clear of the wall. The store room should be kept clean and dry, ventilation receiving due attention. Tin plate linings should not ordinarily be opened until the ammunitions is required for use or test.

When submitting the case to the Deputy Inspector-General, application should be made at the same time for the condonation of any interruptions or deficiencies (Articles 416 and 423, Civil Service Regulations) there may be, and also for the commutation of any period of leave which may be inissible. The portion of service not verified by the ant-General, or the service occurring between the verified service and the date of discharge on pension, shall be verified from the acquittance rolls, and a certificate to this effect shall be attached with the pension application. (3) In the case of lower subordinates the pension roll shall be prepared as directed in Article 824, Civil Service Regulations. Such periods of service as have to be verified on other offices shall be verified in good time. (4) Doubtful points shall be checked by the Urdu long roll, order book, punishment and acquittance rolls, and, if necessary, by reference to other offices as required by the Note I to rule 9-2(4). The character roll should then be corrected – (vide Articles 823 and 824, Civil Service Regulations). (5) Whether any discrepancy exists or not, inferior service rendered before enrolment in the police should be verified by reference to the head of the office in which it was performed. If it is impossible to the service in this way the procedure prescribed in Article 908 (e), Civil Service Regulations should be followed. Superior service can be verified by the ant-General, – vide Article 908 (b), Civil Service Regulations, bu if this is not possible, the procedure described above should be followed. (6) The pension claims of police officers of rank not higher than head constables, who are permitted by the Provincial government to count their former military service towards civil pension under Articles 356 of the Civil Service Regulations, should be treated under the ordinary rules, and the statement of service in Form 24 forwarded to the officer in-charge, Pension Branch, ant General’s Office, Lahore, for verification of their claims to pension six months before their retirement as required by Article 907 (b) and (c) of the civil Service Regulations. 9-7. Alteration in age – (1) The date of birth shown in the character roll or corresponding record, can be altered only with the sanction of proof to his satisfaction. If the recorded age does not tally with that certified by an invaliding medical officer, board or committee, and the discrepancy affects the title to pension or liability to superannuation, the matter should be reported and the officer should not be discharged till the orders of the InspectorGeneral have been received. In the case of an officer whose year of birth or year and month of birth only is known, but not the exact date, the 1st July of the year or 16th of the month respectively should be treated as the date of birth for the purpose of calculation of pension, – vide note under article 283 of the Audit code, Volume I. The date of birth of all officers enrolled before the 1st October 1933 may be allowed to remain as already recorded. (2) Further orders as to the condition under which alterations of age may be sanctioned are contained in letter No. 29976 (Home – Gazette) of 4th July’ 1928 from the Chief Secretary to Government of Punjab. According to these orders, an alteration may only be made, after special enquiry, if applied for within two years of the applicant’s entry into Government service. The Provincial Government may, however, make a correction in the recorded age of a government servant at any time, if it is satisfied that age has been incorrectly recorded with the object that the Government servant may derive unfair advantage. 9-8. Classes of pensions – Pensions issible to police officers and menial servants are detailed below. 9-9. Invalid pension – An invalid pension proportionate to the length of service is awarded to a police officer who by bodily or mental infirmity is permanently incapacitated for further service in the police. If the incapacity is directly due to irregular or intemperate habits, no pension can be granted. If it has not been directly caused by such habits, but has been accelerated or aggravated by them, it will be for the authority by whom the pension may be granted to decide what reduction should be made on this – (Articles 441, 454 and 474, Civil Service Regulations). If the length of the invalid’s service is less than then years a gratuity only will be issible (Article 474(a), Civil Service Regulations). Superintendents are retired to be on their guard against endeavors to retire on invalid pension by officers who are capable of serving longer. 9-10. Invaliding rolls – Police officers whose cases fall under the above rule shall be sent to the officer should be invalided he should be asked to fill in an invaliding roll (Form 9 to (b)) on receipt of which steps should be taken to prepare the pension papers without delay. If the incapacity is not declared to be complete and permanent, he should, if possible, be retained in employment on light duty. If a pension is granted the capacity for partially earning a living shall be taken of in assessing its amount.- (vide Articles 427 and 447 (b), Civil Service Regulations). 9-11.
Surgical operations not compulsory – A police officer need not be subjected to a dangerous operation merely to render him fit to perform his
duties. 9-12. Incapacity due to intemperance – Whenever the District Health Officer is of opinion that the incapacity of a proposed invalid is caused wholly or partially, by irregular or intemperate habits, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent, in communication with such District Health Officer to investigate and place on record the medical and police history of such officer. It should be decided whether a police officer’s inefficiency is the result of irregular habits, or whether it is due to one act which, from neglect, may have resulted in ruining his constitution and health. The more fact that a police officer has suffered from syphilis is not sufficient to make him liable to the forfeiture or reduction of pension. Such cases will be decided on consideration of their history as a whole. The record in such cases shall be submitted to the Deputy Inspector – General for orders, with the other documents of the case. 9-13. Invaliding boards – If the pension applied for exceeds Rs.100 a month a certificate by a single medical officer should not be accepted as sufficient. In such a case the applicant shall be produced before the standing medical board or an invaliding committee (vide VIII of Punjab Medical Manual) with the following documents:(i) The invaliding roll signed by the District Health Officer or competent medical officer. (ii) The nominal roll (Form 9-13), the character roll and (iii) the medical history of the officer. 9-14. Retention in service after date of invalidment – Ordinarily a police officer shall not be retained in service after the date of his being certified unfit for service, and, except with the special order of the authority competent to grant the pension, service after that date shall not count for pension (For exception to this rule see Article 456, Civil Service Regulations). When an invaliding roll is signed by more than one medical officer, and on different dates, the date of invaliding shall be taken to be the last of such dates. 9-15. Supernnuation pension – (1) A superintendent pension is granted to an officer in superior service entitled or compelled by rule to retire at a particular age – (Article 458, Civil Service Regulations). (2) A ministerial officer may be required to retire at the age of 55 years, but should ordinarily be retained in service, if he continues efficient up to the age of 60 years. – vide rule 56 (b), Punjab Financial Handbook No. 2, Volume I. In the application of this rule the test of efficiency should be applied with reference to the requirements of the post the ministerial officer is holding. In the case of higher ministerial posts, the duties of which involve responsibility and the supervision of other clerks, the competent authority should not agree to retention in service. (3) Officers other then ministerial, who have attained the age of 55 should ordinarily be required to retire and should not be retained in service except where unquestionable public grounds for retention exist, and there is no doubt as to the physical fitness of the officer. Extensions may not be granted for any period exceeding one year at a time. 9-16. Retention in service of Government servants after the age of 55 years – Under serial No. 23-A of rule 22-4 of the Punjab Financial Handbook No.2, Volume II, Subsidiary Rules, powers are delegated to Heads of Departments to retain a non-gazetted Government servant, other than a ministerial servant, in the service, after the age of 55 years, that any such retention of a Government servant must be on public grounds and that reasons must be recorded in writing. It follows that only in very exceptional circumstances can this power be exercised. The convenience or the financial advantage of the officer to be retained must in no circumstances be taken into consideration. The sole justification for exercising the power delegated, under the rule in question, is the interest of the public service. The question, in fact, is not whether it will benefit an officer to retain him, but whether the interests of the department will suffer if the officer is not retained. Only in very exceptional circumstances will the Inspector-General exercise his power under the rule, which will apply with equal force to all ranks.

certify that Rs.98-4-8* (Rupees nintyeight, annas four and pies eight only) are in the Cash Chest; there is no R.T.R with the ant or cash in the hands of any disbursing officer (Rule 1048(3)), I have satisfied myself that the s are correct and that the charges entered in this Book have been really paid. Vouchers for all items of expenditure are in the office files with the exception of Nos.25 and 26; and Nos.16 and 17 referred to in the last month’s certificate have since been received and filed. I am responsible that the vouchers have been so defaced that they cannot be used again.

The Police Rules, 1934
(a) Every public officer should exercise the same vigilances in respect to petty contingent expenses as a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in spending his own money. The drawing officer is further responsible for seeing that the rules regarding the preparation of vouchers are observed, that the money is either required for immediate disbursement or has already been paid from the permanent advance, that the expenditure is within the available appropriation and that all steps have been taken with a view to obtain an additional appropriation, if the original appropriation has either been exceeded or is likely to be exceeded, and that in the case of contract contingencies the proposed expenditure does not cause any excess over the contract grant. (Article 91, Civil Code, Volume I.) (b) It is the duty of a counterg officer to see that the charges made in a contingent bill are of obvious necessity, and are at fair and reasonable rates ; that previous sanction for any item requiring it is attached ; that the requisite vouchers are all received and in order, and that the calculations are correct ; and specially that the grants have not been exceeded or are not likely to be exceeded, and that the ant General is informed either by a note on the bill or otherwise of the reason for any excess over the monthly proportion of the appropriation. If expenditure be progressing too rapidly, he should communicate, with the disbursing officer, and insist on its being checked. (Article 92, Civil Code, Volume I.) 10-5. Control and check on progress of expenditure – To facilitate a check on the progress of expenditure by the Deputy Inspector of Police, the inspector General of Police and the ant General, a series of return has been prescribed, for which the necessary “M.B.” forms are obtainable as “universal forms” in the manner prescribed in rule II-43. The procedure detailed in paragraph 14-5 of the Punjab Budget Manual is summarized as follows:--Disbursing officers are required to maintain for all expenditure, s in form B.M. 29. In these s the s classification shall be shown according to the headings of the form, and the allotment under each unit shall be entered in red ink at the top of each column. A small slip Form B.M. 28 (Bill Extract) is required to be attached to each bill (other than pay bills) and is returned with the cash or cheques by the treasury officer. The amount of each bill, with the number of the treasury voucher as shown in the Bill Extract, shall be entered under the appropriate heads in form B.M. 29. At the end of each month the expenditure shall be totaled and the un expended balance under each unit entered in red ink at the head of the ensuing month’s . On the 3rd of each month disbursing officers shall submit to their controlling officer and the Inspector General of Police a copy of their B.M. 29 for the preceding month, with the forms B.M. 28 on original and an abstract in form B.M. 31 in respect of both the general cash and the additional Police . Ac copy of the abstract in B.M. form 31 should be sent to the Deputy Inspector General. Controlling officers are required to follow the above procedure for expenditure incurred directly be them, and also to maintain s in form B.M. 30, in which the returns received form disbursing officers shall be entered to enable them to effect control on the progress of expenditure. They should compare the entries in B.M. 29 s received from disbursing officers with schedules (B.M.28) received from treasury officers which show the payments made by them. The Inspector General of Police is required to consolidate all returns in form B>M.31 and send it, with the original statements from which his return has been complied, to the ant General, so as to reach him by the 20th of the month following that to which the s relate. Discrepancies are then reconciled by the Inspector General and the ant General, and corrections are notified to controlling and disbursing officers. Disbursing officers are also required to submit not later than the 3rd of each month to the controlling officer and the Inspector General of Police a departmental return in form 10-5 showing under each primary and secondary unit the allotment, expenditure incurred during, and the balance available at the end of the preceding month, both for the general cash and the additional Police . This is necessary to enable the latter officers to effect control and watch the progress of expenditure under each primary and secondary unit. The above procedure is additional to the detailed s of contingent expenditure prescribed in Rule 10-110. 10-6. Pages of s to be numbered – The pages of all s all be numbered, and a gazetted officer shall certify on the inside of the cover of each the number of pages which it contains.

Security deposits, whether made in cash or in one of the security forms specified below, shall be covered by a bond or agreement (in Public Works Department forms Buildings and Roads Stereo No. 83 and 84 suitably adapted) setting forth the conditions under which the security is held and may be ultimately refunded or appropriated. If the officer is not able to furnish the amount of cash in a lump sum it may be deducted from his pay in instalments. Or, as an alternative to cash security, he may be permitted, if he so desires, to take out a fidelity policy involving the payment of a small monthly . By such a policy Government can get a much larger security, but the officer concerned loses to the extent of the paid. Security can also be taken in any of the following form:-- (a) Government Securities other than Post Office – 5 years cash certificates. (b) Municipal Debentures and Port Trust Bond.

The Police Rules, 1934
securing prompt adjustment by the sheriff must be brought to the notice of the Superintendent. If necessary, to avoid delay, the prosecuting inspector shall meet the bills submitted by police stations from his own permanent advance. (2) For the recovery of departmental expenses defrayed from the permanent advance, application shall be made in writing in form 10-109(2) as often as may be necessary to prevent the advance allotment from becoming exhausted. Such applications shall be ed by vouchers for each item. If a voucher is lost the procedure prescribed in rule 10-36(I) shall be followed. The ant shall check such bills and obtain the orders of the Superintendent for payment or otherwise. The details of such bills will not be recorded in the contingent (rule 10-110) until the payment order has been recorded in the Order Book. The ant will be responsible for preparing abstract contingent bills at sufficiently frequent intervals and taking other steps to ensure the reimbursement of permanent advances as expeditiously as possible. Delays in this matter should be brought to the notice of the superintendent by officers holding advances, and all gazetted officers at inspections should pay particular attention to the manner in which the permanent advance has been handled. 10-110. Contingent – Separate s shall be maintained in Form 10-110 for each class of contingent charges in every officer to which a contingent grant is distributed as follows:-- I – Contract Contingencies. II – C-class (Audited) Contingencies. III – Allowances and Honoraria. IV – Supplies and Service. V – Police Lands Fund. Each shall contain as many columns as there are detailed heads prescribed in the connection for each type of contingent expenditure. Each unit will have its own money column. Units, such as “Rewards to private persons”, which are sub-divided should be linked by a bracket. The amount of the annual allotment grant and the progressive total of expenditure should be entered below the description of the nit. In the case of any item of expenditure which requires explanation on of its unusual nature or amount, particulars should be entered in the column headed “Description of charge”, though the amount is entered only in its special column. The period to which any recurring charges refer should also be noted in the “Description” column. (Article 94, Civil Code, Volume I) To enable the disbursing officer to watch the progress of expenditure under each unit, as compared with the budget grant, progressive balances and totals, as prescribed in the foot-note to the form, shall invariably be entered. Should an increase, decrease, disallowance or misclassification under any unit of expenditure be notified by the controlling or audit officer, the necessary corrections shall be made in red ink by plus or minus entries in the figures of allotment, expenditure and balances. Money drawn from the treasury and not expended by the end of the month (such as refunds of carriage charges by escorts, etc.) should be refunded into the treasury either in cash or by short drawal in the next abstract contingent bill. Such refunds should be deducted from the expenditure total. The amount can be redrawn when required. 10-111. Heads of contingent expenditure – (1) Appendix N. 10-111(1) shows the units into which the contingent grants are divided. The distribution of allotment is published annually in the Police Gazette in May. Bills for pay and other charges duly sanctioned for the month of March and previous months may be paid in anticipation of communication of the budget. Similar expenditure may also be incurred in emergent cases during the months of April and May in anticipation of communication of the budget allotment, provided such expenditure does not exceed the average monthly expenditure of the previous year. Note – This relaxation should not be regarded as a relaxation of the rule contained in paragraph 12-5 of the Punjab Budget Manual under which the Heads of Departments are required to carry out the distribution of the grant not later than the 1st May in each year. (2) No salary charges of any kind (except for pay of hot weather establishment, pay of menials and of establishment of the police lands fund) and no additions to pay may be charged as contingent expenditure or included in contingent bills. (3) All additional police contingent expenditure must directly concern the additional police post for which the provision for contingencies has been sanctioned. Expenditure which may legitimately be incurred under contingencies falls under the following heads:--(i) Buildings – ‘Hutting charges’ include not only the initial provision for buildings but also the expenditure necessary for their maintenance as well as rental charges. Where additional police are accommodated in existing police buildings, a portion of the repairs to such buildings should be debited to the General Police Fund. (ii) Furniture – No article of office equipment for the use of the supervisory gazetted staff should ordinarily be purchased out of the General Police Fund, but officers in direct charge of additional police posts may reasonably be supplied with such equipment. On the termination of a post this may be utilized elsewhere at the discretion of the Superintendent of Police of the district who should bear this in mind when making purchases initially. The same principle applies to the purchase of other equipment such as tables, chairs, benches and durries. (iii) Lighting charges – Provision should invariably be made for the adequate lighting of the building occupied by the additional police. This implies the incurring of initial expenditure on the purchase of lamps and recurring expenditure in the supply of oil for such lamps. (iv) Stationery – Such articles of stationery as are usually supplied by the Stationery Office and are required for use in connection with the post should be locally purchased by the Superintendent of Police (with the previous sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police as required by serial No.20 of the table appended to rule 20-9 of the Book of Financial Powers amended by Punjab Government, Finance Department, Notification No. 24523, dated 26th September 1927) at the expense o the General Police Fund, not from the district allotment for contingencies. A limited amount of stationery may be used in the headquarters office, the work of which is often appreciably increased by the existence of additional police.

APPENDIX NO. 11-4-A D. O. No. 890-G-37/5814 (H – Gaz) Dated Lahore, the 19th Februay, 1937. Subject:- RELIEF TO BE GIVEN TO DEPUTY COMMISSIONERS AND OTHER ISTRATIVE AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN CLERICAL WORK. My Dear Sir, I am desired to inform you that at the instance of His Excellency the Viceroy, an exhaustive inquiry was recently held into the touring of district officers. The latter were asked to bring to the notice of Government any matters which tended to interfere with their touring. The inquiry has elicited an almost general complain:--(i) that unnecessary references are often made to district officers by the Secretariat or by Heads of Departments asking for information or reports, and (ii) that where necessary references are made, inadequate time is sometimes given to reply them. 2. Proposals which are circulated from the Secretariat for opinion consist of Legislative measures and other references. With regard to the former, there are Standing Orders (paragraph 517 of the Secretariat Instructions) that it is undesirable to add to the pre-occupation of district officers by asking for opinions on questions of which they have little knowledge, or which do not seriously affect their districts, and the attention of all officers in the Secretariat has recently been drawn to these instructions with a view to ensuring that superfluous calls are not made on the time of Deputy Commissioners to divert them from their more important duties. 3. With regard to other reference, the Governor in Council acting with Ministers has been pleased to lay down the following principles for observance in the Secretariat:--(i) No call for information should be made, unless it is necessary for the disposal of a case, and is not available in the Secretariat or office of the Head of Department concerned. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
197/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934 (ii) While Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners should be freely consulted about questions of policy or particular cases affecting their charges, care should be taken to see that references are not made, unless it is clearly desirable to have the views of the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner and, in particular, the pernicious practice should be checked of making references with the object of temporarily getting rid of a case. (iii) Where a reference is necessary, reasonable time should be given for a reply. What is reasonable will depend on the nature of the case. Sometimes it is necessary to have an immediate reply; at others an early reply is necessary. Often a period of two or three months may safely be given. Unless the case is immediate or very urgent, referring authorities should give adequate time for the material necessary for a reply to be collected. (iv) Complaints or applications are often made direct to Government, which relate to matters of a purely local character. Sometimes they are sufficiently important or serious to merit a report to Government by the local authorities. More often they can be left to the latter for disposal. Where this is the case, there are two ways of dealing with them in the Secretariat; the first is to return the complaint or application to the sender for presentation to the proper authority, and the second is to send it in original through the proper channel to the competent authority for disposal. Where the first method is appropriate, it is to be preferred to the second, since it helps to check a tendency which is on the increase. In any case, the primary principle should be observed not to call for reports from local officers on applications and complaints of this kind, unless it is clearly desirable for Government to take up the matter. The practice of sending references from the Secretariat marked “for disposal or report” shoulc cease. The endorsement should make it clear whether the reference is for disposal or for report.
4. The above principles apply equally to Council questions. The great majority of these can be disposed of without reference to local officers. Sometimes when a question consists of several parts, a reference to local officers is necessary only in regard to one or two of these parts. Where a reference is made, it should be stated in regard to which parts information is required. Further, where a question asks for information which will require considerable time and labour for its collection, local officers should not be asked to supply this information, unless the Secretary concerned is satisfied that the information may reasonably be given in spite of the time and labour involved. Where he does not think that this is the case, he should obtain the orders of the Member or Minister concerned before starting inquiries which may later prove unnecessary. When it is decided not to collect information required to answer a Council question, the proper answer is – “It is not in the public interest to collect this information”. 5. In order to secure that the above orders are observed, the following procedure is prescribed:--(i) Except in purely routine matters, no reference to Commissioners or Deputy Commissioners should be made without the approval of a gazetted officer, Important references should receive the approval of the Secretary or the Head of the Department concerned, unless thay are of an immediate nature and the approval of the Secretary or Head of the Department cannot be obtained without delay. (ii) Commissioners of Division should bring to the notice of the Chief Secretary by demi-official letter cases in which unnecessary references are made or inadequate time is given for the disposal of necessary references.

The words “Superintendent of Police Railways,” shall be substituted; (b) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police” Wherever occurring in conjunction with the words “Superintendent of Police”, the words “Superintendent of Police, Railways “ shall be substituted; (c) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway police” wherever occurring with the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police”, the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police, Railway and Traffic “ shall be substituted.

Counsel for the petitioner has drawn our attention to the decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of the Management of Delhi Transport undertaking. New Delhi vs. B.B.L. Hajelay and another wherein it has been observed that a subordinate authority (1972 SLR 299 Delhi FB). In Krishna Kumar, Divisional Assistant Electrical Engineer and other, 1980 SCC (L&S) 1 at 3, the Supreme Court has observed that “Whether or not an authority is subordinate in rank to another has to be determined with reference to the state of affairs existing on the date of appointment. It is at that point of time that the constitutional guarantee under Article 311(1) becomes available to the person holding, for example, a civil post under the Union Government that he shall not be removed or dismissed by the authority subordinate to that which appoints him. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
In view of the foregoing , we of the opinion that the contentions raised by the respondents in their counter-affidavit that S.P. ( Lines) was competent to enlist a Constable in Police force under P.P.R.12.1 and that he is cometent to remove such an employee after departmental enquiry is not legally tenable. That being so, we are of the opinion that the order of S.P. (Lines), Delhi dated 13.2.1969 Placing the petitioner under suspension, his subsequent order dated 17.5.1974 continuing the petitioner under suspension w.e.f. the earlier order dated 24.3.1975 wherein it was stated that the suspension of the petitioner cannot be said to be wholly unjustified within the meaning of F.R. 54(B)(5) and, therefore he will be entitled to only pay and allowances already drawn by him in the form of subsistence allowance for the period of suspension and the said period will be treated ad ‘not spent on duty’, are all unsustainable in law. Brahma Singh vs. Union of India 1988 (5) S.L.R.260. 2. Compulsory retirement…Adverse remarks. Reverting to the case in hand, the stand of the petitioner in para No. 4 of the writ petition that he was confirmed as Assistant Sub Inspector vide order dated February 28,1983, Annexure P.1 with effect from February 1, 1980, was refuted in the written statement. Annexure P.1 shows that the order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police dated February 28, 1983 and was communicated by Superintendent of Police Karnail whereby Karnail Singh petitioner was confirmed with effect from February 1, 1980. Furthermore, it was Deputy Inspector General of Police who ed the order on April 23, 1983 annexure P.2 allowing retention in service of the petitioner beyond the age of 55 years. The petitioner was brought on list ‘E’ and he was promoted as Sub Inspector on April 1, 1977 as mentioned in para No. of the petition. This fact was not denied in the corresponding para in the written statement. It is not the case of the respondents that the petitioner was promoted as Sub Inspector by the Superintendent of Police. The case of the petitioner is that of promotion to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector. Substantively he was confirmed on the post of Assistant Sub Inspector under order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. Thus, for all intents and purposes the appointing authority of the petitioner to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector was Deputy Inspector General of Police and not the Superintendent of Police. This being a case of promotion and not initial appointment, Superintendent of Police cannot be treated as competent authority under Rule 12.1 of the Police Rules in this case, Kamail Singh of Haryana and others, 1989(2) S.L.R. 345= 1989(2) RSJ 536 3. Order of discharge can only be made by superintendent of Police. The rule as such does not take of any appointing authority, and therefore, could not be dad to be subject to rule 12.1 which provides the authority power to make appointments. Even if the Assistant Superintendent was competent to make appointment to non-gazetted rank even then the discharge order under rule 12.21 could be ed by the Superintendent. It is particularly so because there was no appeal provided against such an order of discharge. Jagjit Singh’s case, AIR 1970 SC 122 has no applicability to the facts of the present case. Therein the rule under consideration was rule 16.1 in chapter 16 which is altogether different from the rule 12.21 in chapter 12. That being so, the other contention of the learned counsel for the respondent need not be gone into. Consequently the appeal fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs. State of Punjab and another vs. Sudershan Rani, 1989(4) S.L.R.305. 4. Promotion--- Qualifying the lower school course – Names entered in List C-1 meant for promotion . Action of the respondent, so far as the transfer of certain constables from other districts to Faridabad district in order to check the uneven increase in vacancies in the cadre of Head Constables and ad hoc promotions of outstanding and meritorious Constables to the rank of Head Constables are concerned may be justified in the exigencies of service, by so far as non-consideration of the claims of the petitioners, who were ittedly senior and fully qualified and eligible for promotion as Head Constable is wholly arbitrary and discriminatory. The respondents were duly bound to consider the petitioners for promotion to the rank of Head Constable when the petitioners were fully eligible according to the statutory rules. If the respondents though that the increase of chances of promotion was uneven in the case of Head Constables in district Faridabad and for that purpose Constables had to be brought from other districts for promotion, there was no necessity of making ad hoc promotions from amongst Constables posted in district Faridabad itself. These ad hoc promotions made in favor of Constables, howsoever outstanding and meritorious they may be, could not be made at the cost of their seniors. If the transfer of Constables from other districts to Faridabad was to be made as considered necessary in the exigencies of service, when while making promotions to the rank of Head Constable, the petitioners should also have been considered for promotion. Otherwise, if the Constables who are qualified and senior in their own district are to be ignored and Constables from other districts are to be brought for promotion, the impugned action will be wholly arbitrary and discriminatory . Jai Kishan and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R.740. 5. Removal – By Superintendent of Police. It is well known that the Assistant inspector General of Police functions on behalf of the Inspector General of Police the said order dated 21.3.1964 is relatable to and has to be read in conjunction with the previous order of the Inspector General of Police dated 21.12.1963 who had directed that a test should be held for promoting Head Constables against existing vacancies. The Assistant Inspector General of Police, was acting only on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, not as Superintendent of Police, since he was only carrying out the orders previously ed by the Inspector General. Whether it was the Deputy Inspector General of Police, as mentioned in the petition who appointed the petitioner, or whether it was even the Inspector General of Police himself who did this, it is clear that the petitioner was promoted by an officer higher in rank than a Superintendent of Police. The mer fact that an Assistant, who merely carried out the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had signed the order pertaining to the petitioner’s promotion as Head Constable cannot make it a promotion made by a Superintendent of Police merely on the ground that the Assistant Inspector General of Police, working as the I.G.’s assistant , is also a Superintendent of Police. He was not making the said promotion in his rank or status or even exercising functions as Superintendent of Police. On of the abovenoted features relating to the petitioner’s promotion it is small wonder that both the petitioner as well as the Police Department experienced difficulty in the matter of making a precise plea concerning it . Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R.683. 12.2. Seniority and probation.-- (1) The seniority of Assistant Superintendents of Police is regulated by the orders ed from time to time by the Secretary of State and the Central Government. No Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police shall be permanently appointed as an Assistant Superintendent of Police until he has ed the prescribed departmental examinations. A Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police who does not qualify by ing these examinations within two years, or at the first examination after two years, from the date of his ing the service, will be removed from Government service; provided that the provincial Government shall have power to relax this rule in special cases, when the Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police is likely to make a good police officer. (2)
The rules governing the probation and seniority of Deputy Superintendents of Police are contained in Appendix 12-1.

Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. COMMENTS
1. Automatic confirmation. The relevant provision relating to probationary period of promoted officers of the police is contained in rule 13-18 of the Rules which is applicable in the present case. A bare reading of rule 13-8 of the Rules shows that it relates to Inspectors, Sergeants, Sub-Inspectors, and Assistant Sub-Inspectors who are directly appointed, whereas Rules 13-19 lays down the period of probation for officers who have been promoted in rank. The appellant there was appointed purely on a temporary basis and not on probation and, therefore, Rule 12-8 on the assumption that Rule 12-8 applied to the appellant there. It was held that a probationer could not be deemed to be automatically confirmed in the absence of express order of confirmation and the probation is presumed to be extended. However, it was held that in view of the fact that rule 12-8 is differently worded than Rule 1318 the ratio of the decision in Partap Singh’s case was not applicable. I agree with Chadha J. and following the law laid down by the Division Bench of this Court in the above said two cases. I hold that the petitioner is deemed to have been confirmed from 1st January, 1963, as a Head Constable and his seniority in that rank by virtue of Rule 12-2(3) is to be counted from 1st January, 1961, Ram Pat vs. Union of India and other, 1984 (3) S.L.R. 756 2. Maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer. The maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer of the rank of constable is three years, for the Superintendent of Police concerned ahs the power to discharge him within that period. It follows that the power to discharge cannot be exercised under rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years. If therefore it is proposed to deal with an inefficient police officer after the expiry of that period , it is necessary to do so in accordance with the rules of Chapter XVI of the Rules which makes provision for the imposition of various punishments including dismissal from the police force. It is not permissible to ignore those rules and make a simple order of discharge under Rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years for that will attract Article 311 of the Constitution. The Superintendent of Police concerned could not have ignored that requirement of the law and terminated the services of the three respondents after the expiry o the period of three years from their enrolment in the police force of the State. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwarka Das, 1979(1) S.L.R. 299. 3. Reversion to substantive rank of Sub-Inspector. There is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13-12(1) and as a consequence of rule 13-16(2) is that promotions to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on list ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test their mettle in these posts. Gurcharan Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1976 P.L.R. 166. 4. Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. A reading of Rule 12-2 would demonstrate beyond doubt that it is the date of appointment or promotion, as the case may be, which is relevant for the purpose of the purpose of determining seniority and not the date of confirmation. K.S. Tiwana, J. in Gurdial Singh’s case discussed the matter threadbare and held that the seniority of the lower subordinates i.e. Head Constables who are promoted from Constable, shall be determined in accordance with third paragraph of the sub-rule (supra). The language of this sub-rule in clear and umambiguous provides that the seniority of the lower subordinates shall be reckoned from the dates of their appointments. I am in complete agreement with the view expressed by K.S. Tiwana, J. (as he then was) Additionally, it is the itted position that confirmation of head Constables is done district-wise. In a given case depending upon the availability of confirmed posts in a particular district junior persons may score over senior for the simple reason that in that district the vacancies of confirmed employees are in existence whereas in the other district there is bought of such vacancies. This precise matter was dealt with by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Mitra’s case (supra) wherein it was held that when the seniority lists are prepared zone-wise for determining seniority, the date of confirmation would be wholly irrelevant.

1. Any rule which affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. 2. Entitlement to the privilege as was available. 3. Promotion in the line ministerial and executive staff. 4. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. COMMENTS 1. Any rule affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. – The promotion list of Head Constable (Ministerial) prepared on the basis of the impugned standing Order is not in accordance with law. The Standing Order on the face of it applicable to executive category has been wrongly applied to the ministerial category to which the petitioners belong. During the hearing, the learned consul for the petitioners stated that the petitioners had been confirmed as Head Constable in 1972 and they were appointed a Assistant Sub-Inspector initially on ad hoc basis and thereafter regularised in1979 and that they have been confirmed as such on 5.7.1983. In view of the above, we order and direct that the petitioners should be considered for promotion by strictly applying the criteria contained in P.P Rule 12.3D read with P.P. Rule 13.17. If on such consideration, the petitioners are found suitable for promotion earlier than respondents 5-42, they would be entitled to have their due place in the seniority list. The petitioners have prayed that all the impugned lists as in annexure “A”,”B”,”C”, and “D” are liable to be quashed. In view of what is stated above, the impugned lists are hereby quashed. The respondents should prepare a fresh list of Head Constables ( Ministerial) and lists of officers suitable for promotion in the higher grade by strictly applying the provisions of P.P Rule 12.3D and 13.17 and consider the suitability of the petitioners for appointments for to such grades. The petitioners would also be entitled to all consequential benefits, including the arrears of pay. Banawari Lal and others vs. Union and others, 1988 (5) S.L.R. 306 2. Entitlement to the privilege/right as was available. – The stand of the respondents is that in view of the specific provisions made in the Dehli Police (Appointment & Recruitment) Rules, 1980, the relevant provisions of the Punjab Police Rules stand automatically repealed and are of no consequence. The post of the applicant has been designated as technical and the is accordingly not eligible for promotion to the post of Inspector. According to the provisions any right, privilege, obligation or liability already acquired accrued or incurred before the commencement of these rules shall not be affected. According to our mind the applicant shall continue to remain entitled to the privilege / right, as was available to him under the Punjab Police Rules, in of which he was appointed to the post. From another view point, the rules under which the applicant was appointed cannot be varied to his disadvantage or detriment to his interest. Radihey Shyam vs. Commissioner of Police, 1992(4) S.L.R. 45 3. Promotion in the line of ministerial and executive staff. It is significant to note that the impugned Standing Order refers only to P.P. Rule 138 which applies to the executive staff and not to P.P. Rule 12-3D which applied to the ministerial staff. The P.P. Rule 12-3D does not provide for any test or course for the ministerial staff nor does it provide for Promotion Lists ‘A’, ‘B’,’C’,’D’,’E’, And ‘F’, As regards the ministerial staff, the promotion has to be based solely on the basis of seniority and the assessment contained in the confidential reports as per the provision of P.P. Rule 12-3D read with P.P. Rule 13-17 wchich are categorised as ‘A’,’B’, and ‘C’. In the case of ‘A’ category reports, promotion will be given irrespective of seniority. In the case of category ‘B’ reports promotion will be given in the ordinary course of seniority. In the case of ‘C’ category reports, the officer can be ed over for promotion. Banwari Lal and others vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 306 4. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. The grievance of the petitioners is that their names having been recommended by the Public Service Commission for the posts for which requisition was made by the Director of Public Instruction in July, 1970, they should have been appointed. However, no law or statutory rule has been brought to my notice providing that mere recommendation of the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

name of a candidate by the Public Service Commission clothes him with a legal right to be appointed to the post for which his name is recommended. The Public Service Commission is only an advisory body and recommends the names of the persons to be appointed in response to the requisition made by the Government or its departments. But it is for the State Government or any other appointing authority to make appointments in a accordance therewith or not. If the appointing authority does not make appointments in accordance with those recommendations, the candidate recommended ha no right to come to this court and claim that his legal right ahs been infringed and that a writ of mandamus should be issued to the appoint him.

Sergeants - appointment of. – Sergeants shall be appointed by Superintendents of Police or the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police, on consideration of the recommendations of a selection board, to fill vacancies occurring in the District of the Punjab, the Railway Police or Delhi Province. Applications for appointment as Sergeant from Europeans and Anglo-Indians who are natural born British subjects shall be addressed in the Inspector-General, who will enter, in a list of accepted candidates to be maintained by him, the particulars of those applicants, whose physique, education and status is suitable.

1. Selection for appointments as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police. Under Rule 12-4 of the Police Rules it was necessary for the authorities to character antecedents of the candidate before his appointment to the Police force. The report of verification obtained by the police department cannot be brushed aside. The extract from the judgment of the criminal Court acquitting the petitioner under Section 307/34, IPC shows that on of discrepancies in the evidence produced, by way of abundant caution giving the benefit of doubt. Narindra Singh petitioner was acquitted. Learning counsel for the petitioners has argued that it was also mentioned in the judgment that in this part of the country, there was tendency to implicate the persons and it should be given weightage and acquital of petitioner should be considered as honourable. This contention cannot e accepted. Apart from this occurrence which resulted registration of case under Section 307, IPC in the year 1979, there was another case ed against the petitioner in 1988. The overall assessment made by the department on the basis of antecedents was that the petitioner should not be appointed. Narindra Singh vs. Punjab and others, 1992(5) S.L.R.255 2. Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. The plea taken by the respondents in highly hypertechnical and the writ petition deserve to be allowed. It is not a concealment of fact regarding his earlier conviction which can be taken into consideration against an employee and on the basis whereof his appointment can be set aside later on. In the present case, petitioner had only been prosecuted and was acquitted by a competent Criminal Court. It was not necessary for the petitioner to disclose this fact to the respondents at the time of his submitting application for recruitment to the police service. In any case, the fact stands that there is nothing against the petitioner on the basis whereof his appointment could be set aside having already been made by order dated 4.9.1989 Annexure P.1. therefore, the non-disclosure of the information relating to his acquittal in the criminal case is no ground for withholding the appointment of the petitioner. Subhash vs. State of Haryana and another, 1990(4) S.L.R. 525 12-5, Applications for direct appointment as Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector. – Applications for direct appointment in the rank of Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector will be received and acknowledge as submitted, out on correspondence will be undertaken with applicants, nor will they be told whether they have been accepted as candidates or not.

1. Appointments made without complying with the formal letter of law – Would stand vitiated. Appointment was offered to the selected candidates without prior police verification and medical examination as required by Rule 12-6 of the Rules. It is argued that in this itted situation the appointment of the respondents was bad as being in violation of the rules. While we are of the opinion that it is only appropriate that before appointments are actually made, requirements of medical examination and character verification should be complied with, but it cannot be held as a matter of law that in case the appointments are made without complying rigidly with the formal letter of the law, they would stand vitiated. As already mentioned above, the Government had taken a positive decision and relaxed the rigid compliance with Rule 12-6 in the case of the selected candidates and had issued a direction that the medical examination and police verification could be done after appointment keeping in view exigencies of service. We are of the view that this amounts to substantial compliance with the rules and although the action is to be deprecated, it would not vitiate the selection. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 3. Good Physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical qualifications. Good physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical specifications, whereas the on star physical test has been introduced to evaluate the active habits’ of the applicants. As a matter of fact these supplement the Rules and make their applicability more uniform and practical and leave little to the caprice or whim of the selecting agency. It is significant that the Rules do not talk of a written test as well, but there has been no argument by either side on this aspect. Some arguments were made on the question as to what were the requirements of the one star physical test. The contesting parties and the respondents inter se were at variance on this question. We are of the view that the one star physical test implied the ing of all 5 items as per the ment. We have examined the matter on the basis of the record and find that out of the 19 candidates selected, only 7 ed in all five tests. The entire selection is, therefore, liable to be set aside on this score alone. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and other, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 12.7. Assistant Sub-Inspector’s list of accepted candidates. – (1)A list of accepted candidates for direct appointment to the rank of Assistant SubInspector shall be maintained in the office of each Deputy Inspector-General in form 12.7 (1) and appointments shall be made by selection from this list. Candidates must be limited to residents of the range. No person who is already serving in or has resigned from the police force of another Province shall be accepted as a candidate without the approval of the Inspector-General of Police of that province.

1.
Discharge from service while still under suspension. The Superintendent of Police has to consider and decide to whether or not a constable is likely to prove an efficient police officer. If on a consideration of material in his possession, he forms an opinion that he is not likely to prove an efficient officer, an order of discharge can be ed. However, the order has to be ed on some objective data. In the present case, this does not appear to have been done. The petitioner was accused of having committed an offence. Soon after the registration of the case, he was placed under suspension. He was never reinstated. While he was still under suspension, the petitioner was ordered to be discharged from service. Full salary was not paid to him for the period of suspension. Even otherwise, nothing has been shown from his character-roll or any other record to indicate that there was any adverse report or comments regarding his performance. On the contrary, there is an entry in his character roll which shows that the petitioner had been had been awarded a commendation certificate “in recognition of doing conspicuously good word for the istration of law and maintenance of peace, safety and good order and for conduct displaying exceptional address, acuteness, industry, fidelity for smooth functioning of government work during Independence Day, 1990 Celebrations. “He was also given a cash reward of Rs. 50/-. In this situation, it is apparent that the order of discharge was ed solely on of the allegations made in the above mentioned FIR against him. These allegations do constitute misconduct. However, on the basis thereof, an order of discharge could not have been ed. If these allegations were found to be correct during enquiry, the petitioner could have been dismissed from service. However, the procedure prescribed under the Rules had to be followed.. This was not done. Taking the totally of circumstances into consideration, I am driven to conclude that the petitioner was in fact punished for the alleged misconduct and the order dated April 18, 1991 was not a simple order of discharge. Sunder Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 727 = 1991 (3) RSJ 504.
2.
Initiation of disciplinary proceedings. These is also another aspect of the matter. It is well established that what is material for the purpose of Article 311(1) of the Constitution is who actually appointed the person concerned. What is involved in matters of appointment and removal for the purpose of Article 311 of the Constitution is the status and rank of the employee and the state and rank of the authority taking action vide the Management of Delhi Transport Undertaking vs. BBL Hajelay and another, 1972 SLR 787 SC. In the present case, the petitioner was actually appointed as a Constable by the S.S.P exercising the powers of D.I.G. of Police who, in of rank and status, was higher than that of the Additional Supdt. Of Police. The Additional S.P. who was a lower authority, was, therefore, not competent to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. As has been pointed out in para 12 above, it was only after the issue of the notification dated 18th May, 1968 that the Additional S.P. was empowered to exercise the powers and perform the duties of a District Supdt. of Police. The Commandant of the Delhi Armed Police was empowered to exercise the same powers only by the notification issued by the Lt. Governor on 6th May, 1976.

While it may be permissible to appoint a person who is the son of a police office who dies in service or who is incapacitated while rendering service in the Police Department, a provision which confers a preferential right to appointment on the children or wards or other relatives of the police officers either in service or retired merely because they happen to be the children or wards or other relatives of such police officers would be contrary to Article 16 of the Constitutions. Opportunity to get into public service should be extended to all the citizens equally and should not be confined to any extent to the descendants or relatives of a person already in the service of the State or who has retired from the service. Yogender Pal Singh and other vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 379.
2.
Relaxation of age, qualifications and Physical standard to the wards of ex-policemen It is not the case before me that this provision of public employment is invalid because no one from outside has come to challenge the validity of this provision. In 1975, 1976 and 1977 the Government itself acting under this very provisions granted relaxation. Now they deny relaxation because they say that it can be availed of only by one son of the a Policemen. I find there is no such restriction in sub-rule (3). If the Government itself makes a special provision as it does by making the order dated 3.10.81 in favour of the wards of the Delhi Policemen, there is no good reason why the provisions of sub-rule (3) of rule 12.14 should also not be followed in cases of sons and near relatives of police constables. Jogindar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, l1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
3.
Relaxation of rules—Petitioners despite that relaxation not sent for training of constables. The petitioners will be appointed as constables and will be given the required training subject to fulfilling the requirements of the order dated 3.10.81. Seniority of these petitioners will be reckoned from the date when their colleges were sent for training and were appointed as constables. Future increment and other benefits will be given on that basis. No pay will be given for this period. Pay will be given from the date of their appointment. Jogidnar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
4.
Relaxation should be made by the . Under Rule 30 of the Rules any relaxation should be made by the (lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Delhi) and not by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Thus no reliance can be placed on the order of relaxation ed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police on 3.10.1981 and since by the letter dated April 3, 1982 the Delhi istration had imposed an additional condition in respect of the wards of Delhi Policemen/Class IV employees that only son of police personnel/Class IV employee would be considered for grant f such relaxation of the appellants cannot claim that they were entitled to be recruited because ittedly their brothers had already been recruited in the Delhi Police Service on the basis of an earlier order of relaxation.

Recruits-age and physical standards of.—(1) Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age, (For Hry.—Recruits shall not be less than 18 years and not more than 27 years of age - Notification dated 14.3.1984) at the time of enrolment, and shall have a minimum height of 5’-’7 and normal chest measurement of 33” with expansion of 1-1/2 inches. These physical standards shall not be relaxed without the general or special sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General. A general reduction of the standard may be allowed by Depty Inspector General in the case of special castes or classes, which provide desirable recruits, but whose general height does not come up to that prescribed. In \such cases a standard of chest measurement and general physique shall be fixed, which will permit the enlistment of strong and well-proportioned youths of the class in question. The Inspector General may in special circumstance to be recorded in writing relax the upper age limit and the physical standard in the case of recruits. [For Haryana]
Note. 1- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not quality for Pension. Note.2- Upper age limit shall be reliable in case of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and ex-serviceman recruits in accordance with the instructions issued by the State Government in this behalf form time to time. [For Punjab] Not:-- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not qualify for pensions. 2. The greatest care shall be taken to ensure that the age of the every police officer is correctly recorded at the time of his enrolment and appointment. The record then made becomes of the utmost importance when the question arises of an officer’s right to pension, and is accepted as decisive in the absence of full proof both that the original entry was wrong and that the date of birth originally given was due to bonafied mistake. A copy of this rule shall be ed inside the cover of the recruit (form 12.13) and the attention of the Civil Surgeon shall be drawn to it. [For Himachal Prades] In sub-rule (1) of rule 12.15 of the Punjab Police Rules 1934, as applicable to state of Himachal Pradesh, for the existing words and figures “ Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age” the words and figures “Recruits shall be not more than 22 years ( 27 years for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) or less than 18 years of age” shall be substituted.

Date of birth. Mere fact that School leaving Certificate records different date of birth is of no consequence. Constable Jagir Singh vs. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (1) RSI 609.
2.
Forfeiture of service of birth. Date of birth. Even after the impugned order forfeiting four years service was ed, on the istrative side another order was ed by correcting the service record of the petitioner to incorporate August 10, 1938 ad the date of birth which was given in the education certificate. Subsequently the Commandant ed an order on February, 7, 1980 under the instructions of Deputy Inspector General of Police contained in the letter date January 30, that according to Appendix “B” to Rule 7.3 of the Punjab Financial Rules the recorded date of birth cannot be changed. Thus entry of date of birth as August 10, 1938 was cancelled and the original date of birth August 23, 1943 was substituted. Copy of the order is annexure P/2. The correctness of this letter has not been disputed. This shows that respondents are taking up contradictory stands. By ing the order of punishment the actual date of birth of the petitioner is taken as August 10, 1938 whereas the same is not considered for the purpose of service record as in Annexure P/2. The original given by the petitioner at the time of recruitment. The mere fact that in the School leaving certificate his date of birth is record as August 10, 1938 will be of no consequence. Furthermore, such a date of birth recorded therein. Needless to say such a date of birth was not recorded by the petitioner himself but by somebody who took him to the school for ission. The evidence of such a person who recorded the date of birth of the petitioner at the time of his ission in the school was not recorded in the enquiry conducted against the petitioner. The report of the enquiry officer is solely based on the school certificate produced in the enquiry. Since such evidence cannot be considered sufficient to hold the actual date of birth of the petitioner being August 10, 1938, obviously the petitioner could not be penalized moreso, department for all intents and purposes is taking the date of birth of the petitioner as August 23, 1943, Jagir Singh vs. The InspectorGeneral of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (3) S.L.R 278.

Intermediate School Courses. Petitioners have no right to be deputed to the course as no one from their range who was junior to them, had been deputed for the course then simply because by virtue of the interim orders, they have completed half of the Intermediate Course is no ground to allow them to continue with the course. Ilam Singh and ors. Vs. The State of Haryana and ors. 1992 (1) RSI 57.

Recruitment in violation of Rule—Discharge from service. None of the petitioners fulfils the prescribed standard. Accordingly, they were not eligible to be recruited. As such. I find no infirmity in the action of the respondents. Person who do not fulfil the conditions of eligibility are not entitled to continue on their posts. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners it the position as depicted in Annexure R-1to the written statement and that there is no claim on the behalf that the measurement as depicted in the written statement around no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear them. The purpose of the grant of an opportunity of hearing is only to ascertain the factual position. In case where there is no dispute on facts, no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear the petitioners. It is no doubt correct that normally before ing an order adverse to the interest of a person, he is entitled to be heard to that he can put froth his view point. How ever, such an opportunity is necessary only when a person disputed the facts on the basis of which the action is sought to be taken. In the present case, learned counsel for the petitioners is categorical in his assertion that he does not want even to controvert the factual position as depicted in the written statement. This being the itted position it is clear that no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to re-decided the matter after hearing the petitioners. Ram Dia and other vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992 (5) S.L.R 719.

Recruits—Medical examination of –(1) Every recruit shall before enrolment, be medically examined and certified physically fit for service by the Civil Surgeon. A certificate, in the prescribed form (10.64) signed by the Civil Surgeon personally, is an essential qualification for enrolment –(vide Fundamental Rule 10).
The examination by the Civil Surgeon will be conducted in accordance with the instruction issued by the medical department and will test the eyesight, speech and hearing of the candidate, his freedom from physical defects, organic or contagious disease, or any other defect or tendency likely to render him unfit, and his age. The candidate must strip for examination, a loin covering being allowed except when the examination is being completed, and any candidate who refused to do so must be rejected. The conditions of police service make it necessary that the medical examination of candidates should be strict. Candidates shall be rejected for any disease or defect which is likely to render them funfit for the full duties of a police officer.

(2). Superintendents are themselves responsible for rejecting candidate whose general standard of physique and intelligence is unsatisfactory; only those candidate should be sent for medical examination whom the Superintendent has accepted a being up to the required standards in these respects. (See Appendix 12.16). 12.17. Recruits-Enrolment of—When a candidate has been ed by Superintendent of and the Civil Surgeon under rules 12.12 to 12.16, orders for his enrolment shall be entered in column 14, of form 12.13, and in the order book. The recruit shall be sent to the Lines Officer who shall personally place him in the charge of the chidril instructor. The latter shall be responsible for explaining to the recruit the disciplinary orders immediately applicable to him, for arranging for the issue to him recruits uniform and equipment, and for allotting him to a squad and showing him his place in barracks. 12.18. Recruits—Verification of character of – (1) The character and suitability for enrolment of every recruit shall be ascertained by a reference to the lambardars of village of ward member of the town of which the recruit is a resident. A search slip shall also be sent to the Finger Print Bureau in order to establish his freedom or oterhwise form conviction. Such lambardars or word member shall, if the recruit is of good character, furnish a certificate to that affect which shall be verified and attested by the Sub-Inspector in charge of the local police station. The Sub-Inspector shall also complete the information required by form 12.18 (1). (2). If they recruit is not a resident of British territory, the Superintendent shall take steps to his character through other serving police officer, whose homes are the same neighborhood, or by such means as may be most suitable under the circumstances. (3). Recruits shall be provisionally enrolled pending the result of the reference. 12.19.
Recruiting arrangement.—(1) When sufficient recruits to fill vacacier in the rank of constable do not present themselves voluntarily at the headquarters of a district, or when other justify such action, police officers proceeding on leave shall be encouraged to enlist recruits at their homes, and selected men may be adapted singly or in parties on recruiting duty. (2). When police officers are required under the provisions of the above sub-rule to bring recruits form another district, they shall be provided with a letter to the Superintendent of such district, requesting him to examine candidates brought before him and to have those are considered suitable for enrolment medically examined. A roll of all candidates ed as fit shall be prepared in form 12.13. by the superintendent who examines them, and they shall be enlisted on the establishment of the district in which they are to serve with effect form the date of their being so ed, and shall be entitled to pay and travelling allowance form that date, provided that they report for duty without delay and by the most direct route. The appointment of candidates enrolled otherwise than under this provision shall in no case be antedated. (3). In case where a police officer has been put to expense on of the feeding and travelling expenses of a candidate brought by him, and provided such candidate is accepted and enrolled, the actual expenses so incurred up to a maximum of Rs. 3, for each recruit, may be paid by the Superintendent from his grant for rewards.
12.20. Recruits-Dates of Enrolment of—Superintendent of Police shall fill up vacancies in the rank of constable as and when suitable men are available. Recruiting parties may be despatched, if any police officer who produces really good recruits should be given some reward in addition to travelling allowance. The dates of enlistment of recruits shall, however, as far as possible, be regulated to ensure that a sufficient number of men are enrolled on the same date to form a training squad to proceed from start to finish of their recruits training according to the prescribed syllabus. 12.21. Discharge of Inefficient.—A constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment.

Certificate of appointment- A constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under R.12.21. if he is to be removed from service procedure prescribed in Ch. XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, aborts that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule12.21 is not justified by the police Rules. Dwaka Dass vs. Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana, IKR (1969) II Punj.324.
3.
Certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22. The certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22 is meant to serve the purpose of section 8 of the Act by vesting a police officer with the powers function s and privileges of a police officer and has to be issued on his appointment as such. The certificate is thus a letter of authority, and enables the police officer concerned to enter upon his duties as a police officer. It has to be granted almost from the inception, when a person is app0ointed and enrolled as police officer, and it is not correct to say that the mere issue of the certificate puts its holder beyond the reach of rule 12.21 even if it is found that he is unlikely to prove an efficient police officer and has not completed the period of three year after his enrolment. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwaka Das, 1979 (1) S.L.R. 299.

Computer authority. Police Force is a special kind of force for which merely ing of examinations and tests is not enough Certain other qualities are required as stated in rule 19.5 of the Police Rules. It was wrong that there are no guide lines indicated in the rule for the exercise of the power by the competent authority under rule 12.21 of the Police Rules. The guide lines are stated in Chapter XIX, particularly rules 19.3 and 19.5. The competent authority exercises the power under rule 12.21 on certain reports and not in an arbitrary manner. It cannot, therefore, be said that the competent authority under rule 12.21. exercises any arbitrary power. Sawaranpuri vs. State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 P.L.R. 771.
5.
Discharge. Original order of discharge (Annexure P-=1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be reviewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same, Shishpal vs. State of Haryana, 1991(2) RSI 379.
6.
Discharge during probation on the basis of unauthorised absence. Without going into the merits of the fact whether the petitioner has absented himself un auhtorisedly or was in fact under medical treatment and what is the evidentiary value of letter like Annexures P-3 and P-4, I am of the view that the impugned order though couched in simple language is in fact by way of punishment as the whole basis is the misconduct of the petitioner of having absented unauthorisedly during the training course. ittedly no enquiry was held prior to ing the order of discharge. Om Parkash vs. state of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 75=1992(1) RSI 13
7.
Discharge from service for being absence from duty for a few hours. We find that no doubt under Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules a Constable who is found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment”, but the order of discharge cannot be based on some minor or trivial stray incident, as the language of the rule is clearly indicative of the intention of the rule makers; that the Constable has to be found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer, which can only be on the basis of opinion formed by the authorities by consistent lapses or misbehaviour on the part of the Constable which should be incompatible with his efficiency. These tests are completely missing in the present case and we are satisfied that the impugned order is wholly arbitrary in as much as mere absence from duty for a fee hours, although even that allegation is disputed by the petitioner, is not sufficient to be the basis of the order of discharge. Dinesh Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 582.
8.
Discharge—No material on record to come to the conclusion that the constable was likely to prove a good Police Officer. There is absolutely no material on the record to prove that the plaintiff was not likely to prove a good police officer for which he could be discharged from service under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is evident from the said rule that the Constable shall be kept under close supervision and reported on at intervals of six months in From 195(1) by the Sub-Inspector or Inspector under whom he is working through his gazetted officer to the Superintendent of Police, No such six-monthly report has been brought on the record on behalf of the defendants. In the circumstances, there is no illegality in the concurrent findings of the two Courts below as to be interfered with in second appeal. Punjab State through Secretary to Government of Punjab Home Department, Chandigarh and anr, v.s Joginder Singh, Ex-Constable, 1989(3) S.L.R. 665.

Discharge of Police Constable. The Deputy Superintendent (n) exercises the powers of the Superintendent of Police of a Civil District. The order of discharge made by Deputy Superintendent of Police, therefore, was within jurisdiction. Sawaran Puri vs. The State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 PlR 771.
10.
Discharge of police constable after the grant of certificate under rule 12.22 whether permissible. No constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 after the grant of the prescribed certificate under rule 12.22 to him is to say that rule 12.21 is non-existent, and can never come into effect. This argument was repelled by the Division Bench in Karan Singh’s case and we are in full agreement with the view taken by this Court. Jai Singh, ExConstable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
11.
Discharge—Reinstatement. Another significant aspect of the matter is that the original order of discharge (Annexure P-1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be viewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9-1991(3) RSI 379.
12.
Discharge – Relieved after more than 3 yeas and 4 months of service. Under provision of P.P.R. 12.21 a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer ma be discharged by the Superintendent of Police at any time within three years of enrolment. But in the instant case the petitioner was enrolled as a Constable in 1984 (6.2.1984) and the competent authority has ed the impugned order relieving him w.e.f. 20.6.1987, i.e., after more than 3 years and 4 months. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9=1991(3) RSI 379.
13.
Discharge within a period of three years of enrolment. The Appointing authority of the petitioner had considered has record of service on 10.2.1983 and decided to discharge him from service under rule 12.21 of the Rules. So far as the appointing authority is concerned, it exercised its power well within the period of three years communicated to him five days later, i.e. on 15.2.1983 and qua the petitioner it became effective on that date and he is entailed to salary till 15.2.1983. The assertion of the petitioner that he had unblemished record of service has been found to be incorrect. Besides punishment awarded to him at three occasions for lapse on his part in stance of his absence from duty recorded in the office file, which was also placed before the appointing authority. He willfully absented himself from duty for about ten hours from 10.P.M. on 1.12.1982 to 8.30 A.M. on 2.12.1982. he made an excuse that he was not feeling well but his version was disbelieved. In view of the instances of lapse on the part of the petitioner in the performance of his duties mentioned in the written statement as also recorded in the office file which were taken into consideration by the appointing authority while exercising power under the aforesaid rule, no fault can be found with the said order. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order Annexure P.5 is not a speaking order has also no force. It is a simple order of discharge and no reasons in of the same were required to be given. Vinod Kumar vs. State Haryana and another, 1986(3) S.L.R. 311.
14.
Discharge within period of three years under rule 12.21. The petitioner having once undergone a rigorous training and various tests provided by the various sub-rules of rule 12 and sub-rules (2) and (3) of rule 19 there can be no question of his being declared to be not likely to be an efficient police officer. We are unable to find any force in this argument. Rules 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4 are succeeded by rule 19.5 which by way of abundant caution makers it clear that all the provisions contained therein are subject to rule 12.21. the initial training provided for in the various provision of rule 12 is in order to qualify a constable for enrolment. The period of three years during which a constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 is in the nature of a probationary period. The fact that a constable undergoes training and rigorous tests rule 12.21. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
15.
Natural Justice – Discharge of enrolled constable. It cannot be disputed that he from of the order is not decisive as to whether the order is simple order of discharge under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is always open to the Court before which the order is challenged to go behind the form and ascertain the true character of the order. If the Court holds that the order though in the form is merely a determination of employment is in reality a cloak for an order of punishment, the court would not be debarred, merely because of the form of the order, in giving effect to the rights conferred by law upon the employed. It gives an absolute power to the Superintendent of Police discharge a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer. This rule applies where the constable is found not upto the mark in discharging his official duties. It relates to his functioning as a police constable. If an objective data available, the Superintendent of Police opines within three years of the enrolment of the Constable that he is not likely to prove an efficient police officer, the Constable can be discharged from service under the Rules. If he is accused of misconduct, then he is to be dealt with under Rule 16.24 of the Rules. Rule 16.24. lays down the procedure to be followed in departmental enquiries. If a Police Officer is accused of misconduct, the superior officer may direct an enquiry to be conducted against him unless the allegations are such that it can form the basis of criminal charge, the superior officer shall decide at that stage whether the officer accused of misconduct shall be tried departmentally firs and judicially thereafter.

Police officer cannot be discharged from service on of misconduct of absence from duty. Even though a reference has been made to Police Rule 12.21, yet it has been clearly stated herein that the petitioner had been dismissed from service w.e.f. May 30, 1990. It is also clear from a perusal of the documents on record as also the written statement that the petitioner was accused of being absent from duty. He had been called upon to show cause as to why action be not taken against him. In this situation, it is apparent that the petitioner was not merely discharged from service but had been punished on of the alleged misconduct. Such an order could not have been ed except after the grant of a due and reasonable opportunity of hearing as contemplated under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules and Article 311 of the Constitution.

18.
Power to discharge a recruit. The Police Rules disclose that the constable are appointed under rule 12.12. They are recruited and then their names are entered in the of recruits. Thereafter, their physical fines is ascertained under rule 12.15. They are subjected to medical examination under rule 12.16 and after they have been declared medically fit, they are enrolled in the order book in Form 12.13. Thereafter the recruit is sent to the Lines officer who personally places him in the charge of the Chief Drill Instructor and thereafter his training starts. Rule 12.18 prescribes for the verification of the character of the recruit. rule 12.20 deals with dated of enrolment. Then follows rule 12.21 which confers powers on the Superintendent of Police to discharge a constable. In the context of the Police Rules, it appears that this Rule is meant to finally screen suitable persons who should be appointed to the police force. It is after a period of three years screening that a recruit is entitled to be enrolled as a police constables and then a certificate of appointment is issued to him in the Form 12.22(1) unless within the period of three years, he is discharged from service. There is no rule in the Police Rules providing for confirmation of temporary police constables. It is evident from the scheme of the Police Rules that the power to discharge a recruit, and here I must emphasise that all recruits are temporary hands, is with the Superintendent of Police and has to be exercised by him within a period of three years from the date the constable is brought on the of enrolled recruits. As a matter of fact, under rule 12.18, a recruit can be provisionally enrolled pending, the result of reference as to his character. Therefore, if the intention was that a person should still remain a temporary hand after a certificate to him had been issued under rule 12.22, the framers would have made a similar provision as has been made in rule 12.20 namely that he will still be a provisional hand in the police force. After reading the rules in Chapter XII in their proper context, the result is that a constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. If he is to be removed from service, procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, obvious that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule 12.21 is not justified by the Police Rules and, therefore, must be quashed. We may make it clear that we are not pronouncing upon the fitness of the petitioner to be retained in the police force. That is a matter which the Superintendent of Police or any competent authority in this behalf is entitled to determine. It will be open to them after following the procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI to dispense with the services of the petitioner if they are of the opinion that he is not a suitable person to be retained in the police force. We are only striking down the order because the order could not be ed under Rule 12.21. Shri Dwarka Dass vs. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and other, 1968 S.L.R. 760

Power to discharge at any time within three years. Every service is governed by its own reles. No service rule can be struck down as being ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution merely because it is more vigorous than the corresponding rule for some other service of the State or because its equal cannot be found in any other service. Eualityd of o9pportunity is guaranteed amonst equals. Inasmuch as the rule is the same for all the Constables in the Punjab Police Force the argument of discrimination is wholly fallacious.

Power to discharge. We are fortified in this view of ours by the authoritative pronouncement of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in S.P. Vasudeva vs. State of Haryana and others, AIR 1975 SC 2292. Indeed Mr. Saini concedes that if the constable covered by rule 12.21 can be equated to a probationer, he cannot press this argument. His submission however, is that according to rule 13.18 the constable are not governed by any rule as to probation. There is no doubt that rule 13.18 which refers to probationary period neither has not can have any application to constables, but the provisions of rule 12.21 provide for same kind of probation, and though this is not called a probationary period, it is in fact nothing short of making a special provision of that nature. Article 311 of the constitution has, therefore, no application to this case. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371

Power under –- Can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable. Only point on behalf of the appellant is, that this case was fully covered by the decision of the Division Bench in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid), the ratio of which would be binding on this Bench. In other works, he reiterates point No. 3 conversed by him before the learned Single Judge and maintains that the issue of the certificate under rule 12.22(1) had conferred on the appellant the substantive rank of the constable vesting him with the powers, functions and privileges of a police officer. The argument proceeds that the appellant thus had a right to hold the post and his summary discharge amounts to a punishment, which could not be awarded without complying with the procedure laid down in Article 311, the Police Rules indicate that every person is enrolled in Police Force on a sort of probation for a period of three years and during this period, at any time, the Superintendent of Police can discharge him from service, if it is found that he is “unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer”. This is provided in rule 12.21. A plain reading of rule 12.22(1) and the prescribed form shows that this certificate is issued at the time of enrolment and not as proof by his having satisfactorily completed the three years’ period of ‘probation’. Indeed, in the instant case, this enrolment, viz November 17, 1966. Of course, three are some observations in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid) that such a certificate in the prescribed Form under rule 12.22(1) is to be issued only after the satisfactory completion of the three years’ probation by a recruit and that a Constable who has obtained such a certificate cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. These observations as rightly pointed out by the learned Single Judge, “having to be taken in the context of that case and in my opinion, cannot be applied to the case of a constable who is discharged from service before the expiry of the three years by the Superintendent of Police under the power vested in him by rule 12.21”. The distinguishing feature of Dwarka Das’s case, was the constable’s services were terminated as no longer required after he had satisfactory completed three year’s service from the date of his recruitment. In other works, the power under Rule 12.21 can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable and no thereafter. Since that period of three years had expired, Dwarka Das Could not be validly dischargedunder rule 12.22(1). Karan Singh vs. The State of Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 624

Probationer – Removal from service – Juniors retained – Validity. There is not even a word either on the record or otherwise to show that the enquiry with respect to the alleged misconduct was to find out the suitability to retain in service. It is obvious that the enquiry was with and intention to punish the delinquent plaintiff as well as Jasbir Kaur. In order to find out whether an apparently nocuous order is in substance by way of punishment, one has to look on the facts which preceded and succeeded. In order to do substantial justice, the Court can go behind an ostensibly innocuous order to find out the real nature of the order by removing veil. Undoubtedly, the impugned order by which the plaintiff who was a probationer and, has been removed does affect her reputation as a female member of society as well as her future chances of service. Had an opportunity been given to her, she would have shown that the alleged misconduct attributed to her in no way affected her being an efficient police officer to be retained in police service. At any rate the discharge of the plaintiff from service is totally discriminatory as the alleged misconduct similarly attributed to Jasbir Kaur was no found to be sufficient to hold that she will not prove to be an efficient police officer.

Temporary employee – Discharge of on the ground that he having been found unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer. The impugned order of discharge from service was no made in accordance with Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules. 1934 and in accordance with the and conditions of the letter of appointment but it was made by way of punishment. The Commandant – respondent No.2, vide his dated 29.9.1987 had asked the petitioner to resume duty otherwise departmental action would be taken against him. In the background of these facts and circumstances it is clear that the impugned order of discharge from service was made on the ground of his misconduct i.e. absence from duty and it is penal in nature. In the case of Rajinder Kaur vs. Punjab State and another, 1986(3) SLR 78, replying upon the decisions in the cases of Shamsher Singh and another vs. State of Punjab, 1975(1) SCR 814 and Anoop Jaiswal vs. Government of India and another, 1984(2) SCR 453, the Supreme Court held that the impugned order of discharged though couched in innocuous , was merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. That order was made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words in total contravention of the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution.

dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words the order has been made in total contravention of the provision of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. The impugned order is, therefore, liable to be quashed and set aside. A writ of certiorari be issued on the respondents to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 9.9.1980 of her dismissal from service. A writ in the nature of mandamus and appropriate directions be issued to allow the appellant to be reinstated in the post from which she has been discharged. The appeal is thus allowed with costs. The authorities concerned will pay all her emoluments to which she is entitled to in accordance with the extent rules as early as possible in any case not later than eight weeks from the date of this judgment.

Termination – put in six years of services as constable and obtained certificate under Rule 12.22. The petitioner having been recruited as a Constable on May 11, 1967, his service could be terminated by the Superintendent of Police under rule 12.21 till May 10, 1970. The Superintendent of Police could not invoke his authority under rule 12.21 of the Rules after the expiry of three years with effect from May 11, 1967. The impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed on July 16, 1973, is violative of Article 311 of the Constitution read with rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is clear that the impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed after expiry of three years of the enrolment of the petitioner as a constable cannot be sustained. The instructions dated December 11, 1963, issued by the deputy Legal Remembrancer and referred to in the written statement of the Superintendent of Police, Hoshiapur, are hardly relevant to the point under consideration. In the first place these instructions do not lay down that the service of a police constable who has put in more than three years can be terminated under rule 12.21 of the Rules by giving him tow months’ notice. And secondly any such instruction, if so issued, shall have to be ignored being illegal. Curdev Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 365. 12.22. Certificate of appointments. – (1) Every enrolled police officer shall be given a certificate of appointment in the form prescribed by the Police Act (Form 12.22 (1)) and shall sign a receipt therefor in his character roll. Such certificate shall be signed by the gazetted officer empowered to make the appointment. (2) Such certificate shall be in abeyance during periods of suspension and shall be surrendered on leaving the service. SYNOPSIS
1. Appointment of the post of DIG. The Additional Supdt. of Police who initiated the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, has not been mentioned under Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861 as one of the authorities competent to do so. The service record of the petitioner also contained entries indicating that the verification of the service of the petitioner from 18.7.1949 to 31.12.1961 was made “ for Senior Supdt. of Police, Delhi”. The service roll of the petitioner indicates that the appointing authority of the petitioner was the Senior Supdt. of Police. Lakhi Ram vs. Union of India and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 365. 12.23. Trackers. – (1) In districts where tracking by indigenous methods is an established custom, professional trackers may be appointed to the police by Superintendents either as constables or head constables according to their qualifications and up to the age of 35 years. (2) The physical standards prescribed in rule 12.15 shall not be obligatory in the case of trackers, but rules 12.16 and 12.18 shall apply to them. Trackers, who prove unsatisfactory in respect of character and skill, may be discharged at any time. Men enlisted as trackers shall not be promoted or transferred for general police duties, unless they are thoroughly qualified for such duties. (3) The number of professional trackers to be enrolled in any district, and the number of such appointments which may be made in the rank of head constable, shall be fixed by the Deputy Inspector-General from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of the criminal situation and the interests of interests of the service. Professional trackers should ordinarily be employed entirely as such and should not be trained in drill, musketry or the general duties of a police officer. Men so enrolled and employed shall be issued with an appointment certificate (rule 12.22), but shall receive only a partial issue of uniform and equipment, comprising warm clothing and such articles of the full kit as are necessary for their duties. (4) When considered advisable one or more trackers may be enlisted in sanctioned additional police appointments. (5) The indigenous system of tracking is based on hereditary lore and custom; and utility of a tracker skilled in that system is, therefore, limited in the main to the area in the neighbourhood of his home, or to areas of similar physical characteristics inhabited by people of similar habits and customs. For these reasons it is useless to import to an area where local trackers are unobtainable a tracker from a distant and dissimilar area. In cases where a professional tracker is both willing to serve away from his home, and is proved by practical tests to be capable of exercising his skill successfully under the conditions in which it is desired to employ him, he may, with the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General, be enrolled. 12.24. Enlistment of ex-soldiers, reservists and ex-police officer. – (1) Re-enrolment in the rank of constable is permitted and past service will count for pension under the following conditions and subject to the further conditions as to pensions contained in rule 9.2 and 9.29:--(a) Ex-soldiers of the Indian Army and ex- of police forces ( including Military Police), paid for from the general revenues of India, may be enlisted as constables on production of a discharge certificate showing their previous service to have been “good” or of higher classification, and if they fulfil the physical and other standards required by these rules for first appointments. They must also be ed medically fit by the same standards as are applied to recruits. (b) Age on the date of re-enrolment in the police must be below 30, but ex-Punjab police officer, and, with the special sanction of the Inspector-General n each case, ex-soldiers and ex- of other police forces may be re-enlisted up to the age of 55, if they present themselves for reenrolment and are found medically fit within two years of [voluntarily taking For Punjab only] their discharge. (c) The break of service between the date of enrolment in the police and the date of discharge from previous army employed shall nto exceed two years, and there must not have been more than tow breaks of service in all. (d) No claim to count previous service for pension shall be allowed unless the previous service claimed was declared and verified at the time of enrolment in the police. (e) Service in body of additional police shall be counted for increments in the case of a constable transferred to the regular force immediately on such transfer. (2) No class A Army reservist or member of Indian Territorial Force may be enrolled in the police until he has resigned his appointment in such force. Cavalry and Infantry reservists of the Indian Army below the age of 30 years may be enrolled, provided that their military service records show good conduct. Such reservists shall not be required to undergo annual military training provided that it is certified that they are trained in drill and fire a musketry course each year. The certificate will be signed by the Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, Punjab, or by the Superintendent of Police of the district in which the reservist is serving. The ordinary police musketry course is sufficient for this purpose, vide Government of India, Home Department letter No. F- 28/11/31 Police, dated the 22nd September, 1931. Reservists of other branches of the Indian Army may also be enlisted in the police, provided that the conditions of their reserve service and periodical training as laid down in paragraph 170 of the Regulations for the Army in India do not interfere with their police duties. The total number of all classes of reservists should not exceed five percent of the sanctioned strength of constables in each district. They should be released from employment immediately mobilization is ordered to enable them to re the colours. (3) Claims to count service for pension shall, when the above conditions are fulfilled, be dealt with as required by rules 9,2, 9.3 and 9.29. In the case of previous military service, the condonation of breaks and ission to count for police pension require the sanction of the local Government. Such claims must therefore be for warded through Deputy Inspectors-General to the Inspector-General for obtaining such sanction.

NOTE.—Regarding amendment by Haryana Govt. No. G.S.R. 44/C.A. 5/1861/Amd. (1)/82 dated 26.3.1982 In the Punjab Police Rules.--(a) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police” occurring not in conjunction with “Superintendent of Police” or “Deputy Inspector General”. The words “Superintendent of Police Railways,” shall be substituted; (b) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police” Wherever occurring in conjunction with the words “Superintendent of Police”, the words “Superintendent of Police, Railways “ shall be substituted; (c) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway police” wherever occurring with the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police”, the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police, Railway and Traffic “ shall be substituted. In the said rules, in chapters XII for the words “Deputy Superintendent of Police (istration), Government Railway Police, or Assistant Superintendent Government Railway Police” wherever occurring, the words “Superintendent of Police, Railways” shall be substituted. SYNOPSIS 1. Authority who appointed at the relevant time to be considered the appointing authority. 2. Compulsory retirement – Adverse remarks. 3. Order of discharge can only be made by Superintendent of police. 4. Promotion – Qualifying the lower school course—Names entered in List C-I meant for promotion. 5. Removal—By Superintendent of Police. COMMENTS 1. Authority who appointed at the relevant time to be considered the appointing authority. Counsel for the petitioner has drawn our attention to the decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of the Management of Delhi Transport undertaking. New Delhi vs. B.B.L. Hajelay and another wherein it has been observed that a subordinate authority (1972 SLR 299 Delhi FB). In Krishna Kumar, Divisional Assistant Electrical Engineer and other, 1980 SCC (L&S) 1 at 3, the Supreme Court has observed that “Whether or not an authority is subordinate in rank to another has to be determined with reference to the state of affairs existing on the date of appointment . It is at that point of time that the constitutional guarantee under Article 311(1) becomes available to the person holding, for example, a civil post under the Union Government that he shall not be removed or dismissed by the authority subordinate to that which appoints him. In view of the foregoing , we of the opinion that the contentions raised by the respondents in their counter-affidavit that S.P. ( Lines) was competent to enlist a Constable in Police force under P.P.R.12.1 and that he is cometent to remove such an employee after departmental enquiry is not legally tenable. That being so, we are of the opinion that the order of S.P. (Lines), Delhi dated 13.2.1969 Placing the petitioner under suspension, his subsequent order dated 17.5.1974 continuing the petitioner under suspension w.e.f. the earlier order dated 24.3.1975 wherein it was stated that the suspension of the petitioner cannot be said to be wholly unjustified within the meaning of F.R. 54(B)(5) and, therefore he will be entitled to only pay and allowances already drawn by him in the form of subsistence allowance for the period of suspension and the said period will be treated ad ‘not spent on duty’, are all unsustainable in law. Brahma Singh vs. Union of India 1988 (5) S.L.R.260. 2. Compulsory retirement…Adverse remarks. Reverting to the case in hand, the stand of the petitioner in para No. 4 of the writ petition that he was confirmed as Assistant Sub Inspector vide order dated February 28,1983, Annexure P.1 with effect from February 1, 1980, was refuted in the written statement. Annexure P.1 shows that the order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police dated February 28, 1983 and was communicated by Superintendent of Police Karnail whereby Karnail Singh petitioner was confirmed with effect from February 1, 1980. Furthermore, it was Deputy Inspector General of Police who ed the order on April 23, 1983 annexure P.2 allowing retention in service of the petitioner beyond the age of 55 years. The petitioner was brought on list ‘E’ and he was promoted as Sub Inspector on April 1, 1977 as mentioned in para No. of the petition. This fact was not denied in the corresponding para in the written statement. It is not the case of the respondents that the petitioner was promoted as Sub Inspector by the Superintendent of Police. The case of the petitioner is that of promotion to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector. Substantively he was confirmed on the post of Assistant Sub Inspector under order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. Thus, for all intents and purposes the appointing authority of the petitioner to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector was Deputy Inspector General of Police and not the Superintendent of Police. This being a case of promotion and not initial appointment, Superintendent of Police cannot be treated as competent authority under Rule 12.1 of the Police Rules in this case, Kamail Singh of Haryana and others, 1989(2) S.L.R. 345= 1989(2) RSJ 536 3. Order of discharge can only be made by superintendent of Police. The rule as such does not take of any appointing authority, and therefore, could not be dad to be subject to rule 12.1 which provides the authority power to make appointments. Even if the Assistant Superintendent was competent to make appointment to non-gazetted rank even then the discharge order under rule 12.21 could be ed by the Superintendent. It is particularly so because there was no appeal provided against such an order of discharge. Jagjit Singh’s case, AIR 1970 SC 122 has no applicability to the facts of the present case. Therein the rule under consideration was rule 16.1 in chapter 16 which is altogether different from the rule 12.21 in chapter 12. That being so, the other contention of the learned counsel for the respondent need not be gone into. Consequently the appeal fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs. State of Punjab and another vs. Sudershan Rani, 1989(4) S.L.R.305. 4. Promotion--- Qualifying the lower school course – Names entered in List C-1 meant for promotion . Action of the respondent, so far as the transfer of certain constables from other districts to Faridabad district in order to check the uneven increase in vacancies in the cadre of Head Constables and ad hoc promotions of outstanding and meritorious Constables to the rank of Head Constables are concerned may be justified in the exigencies of service, by so far as non-consideration of the claims of the petitioners, who were ittedly senior and fully qualified and eligible for promotion as Head Constable is wholly arbitrary and discriminatory. The respondents were duly bound to consider the petitioners for promotion to the rank of Head Constable when the petitioners were fully eligible according to the statutory rules. If the respondents though that the increase of chances of promotion was uneven in the case of Head Constables in district Faridabad and for that purpose Constables had to be brought from other districts for promotion, there was no necessity of making ad hoc promotions from amongst Constables posted in district Faridabad itself. These ad hoc promotions made in favor of Constables, howsoever outstanding and meritorious they may be, could not be made at the cost of their seniors. If the transfer of Constables from other districts to Faridabad was to be made as considered necessary in the exigencies of service, when while making promotions to the rank of Head Constable, the petitioners should also have been considered for promotion. Otherwise, if the Constables who are qualified and senior in their own district are to be ignored and Constables from other districts are to be brought for promotion, the impugned action will be wholly arbitrary and discriminatory . Jai Kishan and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R.740. 5. Removal – By Superintendent of Police. It is well known that the Assistant inspector General of Police functions on behalf of the Inspector General of Police the said order dated 21.3.1964 is relatable to and has to be read in conjunction with the previous order of the Inspector General of Police dated 21.12.1963 who had directed that a test should be held for promoting Head Constables against existing vacancies. The Assistant Inspector General of Police, was acting only on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, not as Superintendent of Police, since he was only carrying out the orders previously ed by the Inspector General. Whether it was the Deputy Inspector General of Police, as mentioned in the petition who appointed the petitioner, or whether it was even the Inspector General of Police himself who did this, it is clear that the petitioner was promoted by an officer higher in rank than a Superintendent of Police. The mer fact that an Assistant, who merely carried out the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had signed the order pertaining to the petitioner’s promotion as Head Constable cannot make it a promotion made by a Superintendent of Police merely on the ground that the Assistant Inspector General of Police, working as the I.G.’s assistant, is also a Superintendent of Police. He was not making the said promotion in his rank or status or even exercising functions as Superintendent of Police. On of the abovenoted features relating to the petitioner’s promotion it is small wonder that both the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

petitioner as well as the Police Department experienced difficulty in the matter of making a precise plea concerning it. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R.683. 12.2. Seniority and probation.-- (1) The seniority of Assistant Superintendents of Police is regulated by the orders ed from time to time by the Secretary of State and the Central Government. No Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police shall be permanently appointed as an Assistant Superintendent of Police until he has ed the prescribed departmental examinations. A Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police who does not qualify by ing these examinations within two years, or at the first examination after two years, from the date of his ing the service, will be removed from Government service; provided that the provincial Government shall have power to relax this rule in special cases, when the Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police is likely to make a good police officer. (4)
The rules governing the probation and seniority of Deputy Superintendents of Police are contained in Appendix 12-1.
(5)
All appointments of enrolled police officers are no probation according to the rules in this chapter applicable to each rank.
Seniority in the case of upper subordinates, will be reckoned in the first instance from date of first appointment, officers promoted from a lower rank being considered senior to persons appointed direct on the same date, and the seniority of officers appointed direct on the same date being reckoned according to age. Seniority shall, however, be finally settled by dates of confirmation, the seniority inter se of several officers confirmed on the same date being that allotted to them on first appointment. Provided that any officer whose promotion or confirmation is delayed by reason of his being on deputation outside his range or district shall, on being promoted or confirmed, regain the seniority which he originally held vis-à-vis any officers promoted or confirmed before him during his deputation. The seniority of lower subordinates shall be reckoned from dates of appointment, subject to the conditions of rule 12-24 and provided that a promoted officer shall rank senior to an officer appointed direct to the same rank on the same date. “Provided that in the case of officers recruited direct after 23rd December, 1958, as a result of the same examination or selection, their inter-seseniority shall be reckoned. (e) (f)
by the order of merit fixed by the selection body, and when there is no such order by merit indicated, by the age of the candidate, i.e., the oldest being placed the senior-most and the youngest the junior-most”. SYNOPSIS

5. Automatic confirmation. The relevant provision relating to probationary period of promoted officers of the police is contained in rule 13-18 of the Rules which is applicable in the present case. A bare reading of rule 13-8 of the Rules shows that it relates to Inspectors, Sergeants, Sub-Inspectors, and Assistant Sub-Inspectors who are directly appointed, whereas Rules 13-19 lays down the period of probation for officers who have been promoted in rank. The appellant there was appointed purely on a temporary basis and not on probation and, therefore, Rule 12-8 on the assumption that Rule 12-8 applied to the appellant there. It was held that a probationer could not be deemed to be automatically confirmed in the absence of express order of confirmation and the probation is presumed to be extended. However, it was held that in view of the fact that rule 12-8 is differently worded than Rule 1318 the ratio of the decision in Partap Singh’s case was not applicable. I agree with Chadha J. and following the law laid down by the Division Bench of this Court in the above said two cases. I hold that the petitioner is deemed to have been confirmed from 1st January, 1963, as a Head Constable and his seniority in that rank by virtue of Rule 12-2(3) is to be counted from 1st January, 1961, Ram Pat vs. Union of India and other, 1984 (3) S.L.R. 756 6. Maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer. The maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer of the rank of constable is three years, for the Superintendent of Police concerned ahs the power to discharge him within that period. It follows that the power to discharge cannot be exercised under rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years. If therefore it is proposed to deal with an inefficient police officer after the expiry of that period , it is necessary to do so in accordance with the rules of Chapter XVI of the Rules which makes provision for the imposition of various punishments including dismissal from the police force. It is not permissible to ignore those rules and make a simple order of discharge under Rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years for that will attract Article 311 of the Constitution. The Superintendent of Police concerned could not have ignored that requirement of the law and terminated the services of the three respondents after the expiry o the period of three years from their enrolment in the police force of the State. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwarka Das, 1979(1) S.L.R. 299. 7. Reversion to substantive rank of Sub-Inspector. There is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13-12(1) and as a consequence of rule 13-16(2) is that promotions to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on list ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test their mettle in these posts. Gurcharan Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1976 P.L.R. 166. 8. Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. A reading of Rule 12-2 would demonstrate beyond doubt that it is the date of appointment or promotion, as the case may be, which is relevant for the purpose of the purpose of determining seniority and not the date of confirmation. K.S. Tiwana, J. in Gurdial Singh’s case discussed the matter threadbare and held that the seniority of the lower subordinates i.e. Head Constables who are promoted from Constable, shall be determined in accordance with third paragraph of the sub-rule (supra). The language of this sub-rule in clear and umambiguous provides that the seniority of the lower subordinates shall be reckoned from the dates of their appointments. I am in complete agreement with the view expressed by K.S. Tiwana, J. (as he then was) Additionally, it is the itted position that confirmation of head Constables is done district-wise. In a given case depending upon the availability of confirmed posts in a particular district junior persons may score over senior for the simple reason that in that district the vacancies of confirmed employees are in existence whereas in the other district there is bought of such vacancies. This precise matter was dealt with by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Mitra’s case (supra) wherein it was held that when the seniority lists are prepared zone-wise for determining seniority, the date of confirmation would be wholly irrelevant. Mohinder Singh, Head Constable and other vs. The State of Haryana and other, 1991(4) S.L.R. 757 = 1990(1) RSJ 801. 12.3. Direct appointments of inspector and assistant sub-inspector – Except as provided in Rules 12.1 and 12.4, direct appointments shall not be made except in the rank of Inspector Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector. Such appointments in the rank of inspector and assistant sub-inspector may be made up to a maximum of ten per cent anr twenty per cent of vacancies respectively. 12.3 A. Appointment of Urdu Stenographer – Appointment to the special posts of Urdu stenographer is made in the rank of Assistant SubInspector by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, Punjab. These appointment are governed by the rules contained in Appendix 12.3-A. SYNOPSIS

7. Promotion in the line ministerial and executive staff. 8. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. COMMENTS 5. Any rule affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. – The promotion list of Head Constable (Ministerial) prepared on the basis of the impugned standing Order is not in accordance with law. The Standing Order on the face of it applicable to executive category has been wrongly applied to the ministerial category to which the petitioners belong. During the hearing, the learned consul for the petitioners stated that the petitioners had been confirmed as Head Constable in 1972 and they were appointed a Assistant Sub-Inspector initially on ad hoc basis and thereafter regularised in1979 and that they have been confirmed as such on 5.7.1983. In view of the above, we order and direct that the petitioners should be considered for promotion by strictly applying the criteria contained in P.P Rule 12.3D read with P.P. Rule 13.17. If on such consideration, the petitioners are found suitable for promotion earlier than respondents 5-42, they would be entitled to have their due place in the seniority list. The petitioners have prayed that all the impugned lists as in annexure “A”,”B”,”C”, and “D” are liable to be quashed. In view of what is stated above, the impugned lists are hereby quashed. The respondents should prepare a fresh list of Head Constables ( Ministerial) and lists of officers suitable for promotion in the higher grade by strictly applying the provisions of P.P Rule 12.3D and 13.17 and consider the suitability of the petitioners for appointments for to such grades. The petitioners would also be entitled to all consequential benefits, including the arrears of pay. Banawari Lal and others vs. Union and others, 1988 (5) S.L.R. 306 6. Entitlement to the privilege/right as was available. – The stand of the respondents is that in view of the specific provisions made in the Dehli Police (Appointment & Recruitment) Rules, 1980, the relevant provisions of the Punjab Police Rules stand automatically repealed and are of no consequence. The post of the applicant has been designated as technical and the is accordingly not eligible for promotion to the post of Inspector. According to the provisions any right, privilege, obligation or liability already acquired accrued or incurred before the commencement of these rules shall not be affected. According to our mind the applicant shall continue to remain entitled to the privilege / right, as was available to him under the Punjab Police Rules, in of which he was appointed to the post. From another view point, the rules under which the applicant was appointed cannot be varied to his disadvantage or detriment to his interest. Radihey Shyam vs. Commissioner of Police, 1992(4) S.L.R. 45 7. Promotion in the line of ministerial and executive staff. It is significant to note that the impugned Standing Order refers only to P.P. Rule 13-8 which applies to the executive staff and not to P.P. Rule 12-3D which applied to the ministerial staff. The P.P. Rule 12-3D does not provide for any test or course for the ministerial staff nor does it provide for Promotion Lists ‘A’, ‘B’,’C’,’D’,’E’, And ‘F’, As regards the ministerial staff, the promotion has to be based solely on the basis of seniority and the assessment contained in the confidential reports as per the provision of P.P. Rule 12-3D read with P.P. Rule 13-17 wchich are categorised as ‘A’,’B’, and ‘C’. In the case of ‘A’ category reports, promotion will be given irrespective of seniority. In the case of category ‘B’ reports promotion will be given in the ordinary course of seniority. In the case of ‘C’ category reports, the officer can be ed over for promotion. Banwari Lal and others vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 306 8. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. The grievance of the petitioners is that their names having been recommended by the Public Service Commission for the posts for which requisition was made by the Director of Public Instruction in July, 1970, they should have been appointed. However, no law or statutory rule has been brought to my notice providing that mere recommendation of the name of a candidate by the Public Service Commission clothes him with a legal right to be appointed to the post for which his name is recommended. The Public Service Commission is only an advisory body and recommends the names of the persons to be appointed in response to the requisition made by the Government or its departments. But it is for the State Government or any other appointing authority to make appointments in a accordance therewith or not. If the appointing authority does not make appointments in accordance with those recommendations, the candidate recommended ha no right to come to this court and claim that his legal right ahs been infringed and that a writ of mandamus should be issued to the appoint him. Davinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 249 12-4. Sergeants - - appointment of. – Sergeants shall be appointed by Superintendents of Police or the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police, on consideration of the recommendations of a selection board, to fill vacancies occurring in the District of the Punjab, the Railway Police or Delhi Province. Applications for appointment as Sergeant from Europeans and Anglo-Indians who are natural born British subjects shall be addressed in the Inspector-General, who will enter, in a list of accepted candidates to be maintained by him, the particulars of those applicants, whose physique, education and status is suitable. NOTE. – British soldiers transferred to the Army Reserve in India may be appointed on probation as sergeant or Inspector of Police, if otherwise qualified. On confirmation in these posts they will be discharged from the Reserve. The date of confirmation must be communicated to the Officer-incharge. Records, of the man concerned in Great Britain, to whom also his certificate of service (A.F.B. – 108) must be sent. British Army reservists serving in the police are not liable to be recalled to the army for any purpose.

Selection for appointment as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police.

Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. COMMENTS
1. Selection for appointments as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police. Under Rule 12-4 of the Police Rules it was necessary for the authorities to character antecedents of the candidate before his appointment to the Police force. The report of verification obtained by the police department cannot be brushed aside. The extract from the judgment of the criminal Court acquitting the petitioner under Section 307/34, IPC shows that on of discrepancies in the evidence produced, by way of abundant caution giving the benefit of doubt. Narindra Singh petitioner was acquitted. Learning counsel for the petitioners has argued that it was also mentioned in the judgment that in this part of the country, there was tendency to implicate the persons and it should be given weightage and acquital of petitioner should be considered as honourable. This contention cannot e accepted. Apart from this occurrence which resulted registration of case under Section 307, IPC in the year 1979, there was another case ed against the petitioner in 1988. The overall assessment made by the department on the basis of antecedents was that the petitioner should not be appointed. Narindra Singh vs. Punjab and others, 1992(5) S.L.R.255 2. Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. The plea taken by the respondents in highly hypertechnical and the writ petition deserve to be allowed. It is not a concealment of fact regarding his earlier conviction which can be taken into consideration against an employee and on the basis whereof his appointment can be set aside later on. In the present case, petitioner had only been prosecuted and was acquitted by a competent Criminal Court. It was not necessary for the petitioner to disclose this fact to the respondents at the time of his submitting application for recruitment to the police service. In any case, the fact stands that there is nothing against the petitioner on the basis whereof his appointment could be set aside having already been made by order dated 4.9.1989 Annexure P.1. therefore, the non-disclosure of the information relating to his acquittal in the criminal case is no ground for withholding the appointment of the petitioner. Subhash vs. State of Haryana and another, 1990(4) S.L.R. 525 12-5, Applications for direct appointment as Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector. – Applications for direct appointment in the rank of Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector will be received and acknowledge as submitted, out on correspondence will be undertaken with applicants, nor will they be told whether they have been accepted as candidates or not. When appointments are to be made, pending applications will be considered and those applicants whom it is desired to call before a selection board will be informed at least a month before the assembling of the board. 12-6.

1. Appointments made without complying with the formal letter of law – Would stand vitiated. Appointment was offered to the selected candidates without prior police verification and medical examination as required by Rule 12-6 of the Rules. It is argued that in this itted situation the appointment of the respondents was bad as being in violation of the rules. While we are of the opinion that it is only appropriate that before appointments are actually made, requirements of medical examination and character verification should be complied with, but it cannot be held as a matter of law that in case the appointments are made without complying rigidly with the formal letter of the law, they would stand vitiated. As already mentioned above, the Government had taken a positive decision and relaxed the rigid compliance with Rule 12-6 in the case of the selected candidates and had issued a direction that the medical examination and police verification could be done after appointment keeping in view exigencies of service. We are of the view that this amounts to substantial compliance with the rules and although the action is to be deprecated, it would not vitiate the selection. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 6. Good Physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical qualifications. Good physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical specifications, whereas the on star physical test has been introduced to evaluate the active habits’ of the applicants. As a matter of fact these supplement the Rules and make their applicability more uniform and practical and leave little to the caprice or whim of the selecting agency. It is significant that the Rules do not talk of a written test as well, but there has been no argument by either side on this aspect. Some arguments were made on the question as to what were the requirements of the one star physical test. The contesting parties and the respondents inter se were at variance on this question. We are of the view that the one star physical test implied the ing of all 5 items as per the ment. We have examined the matter on the basis of the record and find that out of the 19 candidates selected, only 7 ed in all five tests. The entire selection is, therefore, liable to be set aside on this score alone. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and other, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 12.7.

Persons directly recruited as Selection Grade Constables. Rules in applies to person s directly recruited as Selection Grade Constables and the petitioner is not one of them, but this does not mean that the petitioner cannot be deputed to undergo the Intermediate School Course. It has not been contended that the petitioner as a confirmed Head Constable is not entitled to be considered for promotion. The petitioner, who was a confirmed Head Constable with requisite length of service and who had earned consistently good repots, could not be debarred from being deputed for the Intermediate School Course, simply because he did not secure a position of merit, in the unauthorised test which was introduced by the departmental authorities.

12.13. Restriction on appointment of non-British subject- The appointment to the provincial or subordinate ranks of the police of any person, who is not a British subject, or the subject of any State in India, requires the prior sanction of the Government of India. All such cases shall be reported by the appointing authority through the ordinary channel of correspondence in the prescribed from (obtainable from the Central Police Office), and no such appointment shall be made substantive, until the required sanction has been communicated. 12.14. Supervision of recruitment--. The standard of performance and the reputation of the whole police force depend above all upon the quality of its constables. Standards for recruits are laid down in the rules which follow, but, over and above, these, constant attention and effort to raise the general standard of recruitment are essential. Gazetted officers shall at all times devote special attention to discovering and encouraging men of a thoroughly good stamp to enroll themselves. Efforts shall be made to enroll a proportion of men belonging to communities or classes, whose representation in the force is desirable, but who appear reluctant to offer themselves. The examination and measuring of candidate for enrollment shall invariably be carried out by a gazetted officer, who shall concern himself specially to prevent the victimization of, or the taking of illegal gratification from, candidates by subordinate Government servants concerned in the conduct of their examination. Superintendents shall personally satisfy themselves that the arrangements for the reception of new recruits in the Lines, and for providing them with bedding and warm clothing, whether as a sanctioned Government issue or under a system whereby the cost is recovered later in installments from pay, are adequate, and the recruitment is not discouraged by initial and avoidable hardships. Deputy Inspector-General, in additional to exercising a careful control over recruitment generally, and preventing the enrolment of undesirable types, shall, at their inspections, formal and informal, pay special attention to the observance of this rule.

Discharge from service while still under suspension. The Superintendent of Police has to consider and decide to whether or not a constable is likely to prove an efficient police officer. If on a consideration of material in his possession, he forms an opinion that he is not likely to prove an efficient officer, an order of discharge can be ed. However, the order has to be ed on some objective data. In the present case, this does not appear to have been done. The petitioner was accused of having committed an offence. Soon after the registration of the case, he was placed under suspension. He was never reinstated. While he was still under suspension, the petitioner was ordered to be discharged from service. Full salary was not paid to him for the period of suspension. Even otherwise, nothing has been shown from his character-roll or any other record to indicate that there was any adverse report or comments regarding his performance. On the contrary, there is an entry in his character roll which shows that the petitioner had been had been awarded a commendation certificate “in recognition of doing conspicuously good word for the istration of law and maintenance of peace, safety and good order and for conduct displaying exceptional address, acuteness, industry, fidelity for smooth functioning of government work during Independence Day, 1990 Celebrations. “He was also given a cash reward of Rs. 50/-. In this situation, it is apparent that the order of discharge was ed solely on of the allegations made in the above mentioned FIR against him. These allegations do constitute misconduct. However, on the basis thereof, an order of discharge could not have been ed. If these allegations were found to be correct during enquiry, the petitioner could have been dismissed from service. However, the procedure prescribed under the Rules had to be followed.. This was not done. Taking the totally of circumstances into consideration, I am driven to conclude that the petitioner was in fact punished for the alleged misconduct and the order dated April 18, 1991 was not a simple order of discharge. Sunder Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 727 = 1991 (3) RSJ 504.
6.
Initiation of disciplinary proceedings. These is also another aspect of the matter. It is well established that what is material for the purpose of Article 311(1) of the Constitution is who actually appointed the person concerned. What is involved in matters of appointment and removal for the purpose of Article 311 of the Constitution is the status and rank of the employee and the state and rank of the authority taking action vide the Management of Delhi Transport Undertaking vs. BBL Hajelay and another, 1972 SLR 787 SC. In the present case, the petitioner was actually appointed as a Constable by the S.S.P exercising the powers of D.I.G. of Police who, in of rank and status, was higher than that of the Additional Supdt. Of Police. The Additional S.P. who was a lower authority, was, therefore, not competent to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. As has been pointed out in para 12 above, it was only after the issue of the notification dated 18th May, 1968 that the Additional S.P. was empowered to exercise the powers and perform the duties of a District Supdt. of Police. The Commandant of the Delhi Armed Police was empowered to exercise the same powers only by the notification issued by the Lt. Governor on 6th May, 1976.

Preference in favour of some and near relatives of persons. Rule 12.14(3) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 which authorised the granting of preference in favour of sons and near relatives of persons serving in the police service became unconstitutional on the coming into force of the Constitutions. While it may be permissible to appoint a person who is the son of a police office who dies in service or who is incapacitated while rendering service in the Police Department, a provision which confers a preferential right to appointment on the children or wards or other relatives of the police officers either in service or retired merely because they happen to be the children or wards or other relatives of such police officers would be contrary to Article 16 of the Constitutions. Opportunity to get into public service should be extended to all the citizens equally and should not be confined to any extent to the descendants or relatives of a person already in the service of the State or who has retired from the service. Yogender Pal Singh and other vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 379.
7.
Relaxation of age, qualifications and Physical standard to the wards of ex-policemen It is not the case before me that this provision of public employment is invalid because no one from outside has come to challenge the validity of this provision. In 1975, 1976 and 1977 the Government itself acting under this very provisions granted relaxation. Now they deny relaxation because they say that it can be availed of only by one son of the a Policemen. I find there is no such restriction in sub-rule (3). If the Government itself makes a special provision as it does by making the order dated 3.10.81 in favour of the wards of the Delhi Policemen, there is no good reason why the provisions of sub-rule (3) of rule 12.14 should also not be followed in cases of sons and near relatives of police constables. Jogindar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, l1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
8.
Relaxation of rules—Petitioners despite that relaxation not sent for training of constables. The petitioners will be appointed as constables and will be given the required training subject to fulfilling the requirements of the order dated 3.10.81. Seniority of these petitioners will be reckoned from the date when their colleges were sent for training and were appointed as constables. Future increment and other benefits will be given on that basis. No pay will be given for this period. Pay will be given from the date of their appointment. Jogidnar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
9.
Relaxation should be made by the . Under Rule 30 of the Rules any relaxation should be made by the (lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Delhi) and not by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Thus no reliance can be placed on the order of relaxation ed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police on 3.10.1981 and since by the letter dated April 3, 1982 the Delhi istration had imposed an additional condition in respect of the wards of Delhi Policemen/Class IV employees that only son of police personnel/Class IV employee would be considered for grant f such relaxation of the appellants cannot claim that they were entitled to be recruited because ittedly their brothers had already been recruited in the Delhi Police Service on the basis of an earlier order of relaxation.

Rules framed under the Police Act of 1861. The rules framed under the Police Act of 1861 would continue to be in force after the Act came into force in so far as they were consistent with the Act but at the same time Section 147 of the Act authorised the (Lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Delhi) jto make rules regarding recruitment to and they pay, allowances and all other conditions of service of the of the Delhi Police under Clause (b) of section 5. It is not disputed that rule 12.14 and rule 12.15 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 and the rules promulgated on December 31, 1980 death with identical subject, namely the recruitment of Constables to the Delhi Police Service.

Recruits-age and physical standards of.—(1) Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age, (For Hry.—Recruits shall not be less than 18 years and not more than 27 years of age - Notification dated 14.3.1984) at the time of enrolment, and shall have a minimum height of 5’-’7 and normal chest measurement of 33” with expansion of 1-1/2 inches. These physical standards shall not be relaxed without the general or special sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General. A general reduction of the standard may be allowed by Depty Inspector General in the case of special castes or classes, which provide desirable recruits, but whose general height does not come up to that prescribed. In \such cases a standard of chest measurement and general physique shall be fixed, which will permit the enlistment of strong and well-proportioned youths of the class in question. The Inspector General may in special circumstance to be recorded in writing relax the upper age limit and the physical standard in the case of recruits. [For Haryana]
Note. 1- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not quality for Pension. Note.2- Upper age limit shall be reliable in case of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and ex-serviceman recruits in accordance with the instructions issued by the State Government in this behalf form time to time. [For Punjab] Not:-- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not qualify for pensions. 2. The greatest care shall be taken to ensure that the age of the every police officer is correctly recorded at the time of his enrolment and appointment. The record then made becomes of the utmost importance when the question arises of an officer’s right to pension, and is accepted as decisive in the absence of full proof both that the original entry was wrong and that the date of birth originally given was due to bonafied mistake. A copy of this rule shall be ed inside the cover of the recruit ( form 12.13) and the attention of the Civil Surgeon shall be drawn to it. [For Himachal Prades] In sub-rule (1) of rule 12.15 of the Punjab Police Rules 1934, as applicable to state of Himachal Pradesh, for the existing words and figures “ Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age” the words and figures “Recruits shall be not more than 22 years ( 27 years for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) or less than 18 years of age” shall be substituted.

cannot be changed. Thus entry of date of birth as August 10, 1938 was cancelled and the original date of birth August 23, 1943 was substituted. Copy of the order is annexure P/2. The correctness of this letter has not been disputed. This shows that respondents are taking up contradictory stands. By ing the order of punishment the actual date of birth of the petitioner is taken as August 10, 1938 whereas the same is not considered for the purpose of service record as in Annexure P/2. The original given by the petitioner at the time of recruitment. The mere fact that in the School leaving certificate his date of birth is record as August 10, 1938 will be of no consequence. Furthermore, such a date of birth recorded therein. Needless to say such a date of birth was not recorded by the petitioner himself but by somebody who took him to the school for ission. The evidence of such a person who recorded the date of birth of the petitioner at the time of his ission in the school was not recorded in the enquiry conducted against the petitioner. The report of the enquiry officer is solely based on the school certificate produced in the enquiry. Since such evidence cannot be considered sufficient to hold the actual date of birth of the petitioner being August 10, 1938, obviously the petitioner could not be penalized moreso, department for all intents and purposes is taking the date of birth of the petitioner as August 23, 1943, Jagir Singh vs. The InspectorGeneral of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (3) S.L.R 278. 23.

Recruitment in violation of Rule—Discharge from service. None of the petitioners fulfils the prescribed standard. Accordingly, they were not eligible to be recruited. As such. I find no infirmity in the action of the respondents. Person who do not fulfil the conditions of eligibility are not entitled to continue on their posts. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners it the position as depicted in Annexure R-1to the written statement and that there is no claim on the behalf that the measurement as depicted in the written statement around no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear them. The purpose of the grant of an opportunity of hearing is only to ascertain the factual position. In case where there is no dispute on facts, no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear the petitioners. It is no doubt correct that normally before ing an order adverse to the interest of a person, he is entitled to be heard to that he can put froth his view point. How ever, such an opportunity is necessary only when a person disputed the facts on the basis of which the action is sought to be taken. In the present case, learned counsel for the petitioners is categorical in his assertion that he does not want even to controvert the factual position as depicted in the written statement. This being the itted position it is clear that no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to re-decided the matter after hearing the petitioners.

Recruits—Medical examination of –(1) Every recruit shall before enrolment, be medically examined and certified physically fit for service by the Civil Surgeon. A certificate, in the prescribed form (10.64) signed by the Civil Surgeon personally, is an essential qualification for enrolment –(vide Fundamental Rule 10).
The examination by the Civil Surgeon will be conducted in accordance with the instruction issued by the medical department and will test the eyesight, speech and hearing of the candidate, his freedom from physical defects, organic or contagious disease, or any other defect or tendency likely to render him unfit, and his age. The candidate must strip for examination, a loin covering being allowed except when the examination is being completed, and any candidate who refused to do so must be rejected. The conditions of police service make it necessary that the medical examination of candidates should be strict. Candidates shall be rejected for any disease or defect which is likely to render them funfit for the full duties of a police officer. (2). Superintendents are themselves responsible for rejecting candidate whose general standard of physique and intelligence is unsatisfactory; only those candidate should be sent for medical examination whom the Superintendent has accepted a being up to the required standards in these respects. (See Appendix 12.16). 12.22. Recruits-Enrolment of—When a candidate has been ed by Superintendent of and the Civil Surgeon under rules 12.12 to 12.16, orders for his enrolment shall be entered in column 14, of form 12.13, and in the order book. The recruit shall be sent to the Lines Officer who shall personally place him in the charge of the chidril instructor. The latter shall be responsible for explaining to the recruit the disciplinary orders immediately applicable to him, for arranging for the issue to him recruits uniform and equipment, and for allotting him to a squad and showing him his place in barracks. 12.23. Recruits—Verification of character of – (1) The character and suitability for enrolment of every recruit shall be ascertained by a reference to the lambardars of village of ward member of the town of which the recruit is a resident. A search slip shall also be sent to the Finger Print Bureau in order to establish his freedom or oterhwise form conviction. Such lambardars or word member shall, if the recruit is of good character, furnish a certificate to that affect which shall be verified and attested by the Sub-Inspector in charge of the local police station. The Sub-Inspector shall also complete the information required by form 12.18 (1). (2). If they recruit is not a resident of British territory, the Superintendent shall take steps to his character through other serving police officer, whose homes are the same neighborhood, or by such means as may be most suitable under the circumstances. (3). Recruits shall be provisionally enrolled pending the result of the reference. 12.24.
Recruiting arrangement.—(1) When sufficient recruits to fill vacacier in the rank of constable do not present themselves voluntarily at the headquarters of a district, or when other justify such action, police officers proceeding on leave shall be encouraged to enlist recruits at their homes, and selected men may be adapted singly or in parties on recruiting duty. (2). When police officers are required under the provisions of the above sub-rule to bring recruits form another district, they shall be provided with a letter to the Superintendent of such district, requesting him to examine candidates brought before him and to have those are considered suitable for enrolment medically examined. A roll of all candidates ed as fit shall be prepared in form 12.13. by the superintendent who examines them, and they shall be enlisted on the establishment of the district in which they are to serve with effect form the date of their being so ed, and shall be entitled to pay and travelling allowance form that date, provided that they report for duty without delay and by the most direct route. The appointment of candidates enrolled otherwise than under this provision shall in no case be antedated. (3). In case where a police officer has been put to expense on of the feeding and travelling expenses of a candidate brought by him, and provided such candidate is accepted and enrolled, the actual expenses so incurred up to a maximum of Rs. 3, for each recruit, may be paid by the Superintendent from his grant for rewards.
12.25. Recruits-Dates of Enrolment of—Superintendent of Police shall fill up vacancies in the rank of constable as and when suitable men are available. Recruiting parties may be despatched, if any police officer who produces really good recruits should be given some reward in addition to travelling allowance. The dates of enlistment of recruits shall, however, as far as possible, be regulated to ensure that a sufficient number of men are enrolled on the same date to form a training squad to proceed from start to finish of their recruits training according to the prescribed syllabus. 12.26. Discharge of Inefficient.—A constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment.

Certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22. The certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22 is meant to serve the purpose of section 8 of the Act by vesting a police officer with the powers function s and privileges of a police officer and has to be issued on his appointment as such. The certificate is thus a letter of authority, and enables the police officer concerned to enter upon his duties as a police officer. It has to be granted almost from the inception, when a person is app0ointed and enrolled as police officer, and it is not correct to say that the mere issue of the certificate puts its holder beyond the reach of rule 12.21 even if it is found that he is unlikely to prove an efficient police officer and has not completed the period of three year after his enrolment.

Computer authority. Police Force is a special kind of force for which merely ing of examinations and tests is not enough Certain other qualities are required as stated in rule 19.5 of the Police Rules. It was wrong that there are no guide lines indicated in the rule for the exercise of the power by the competent authority under rule 12.21 of the Police Rules. The guide lines are stated in Chapter XIX, particularly rules 19.3 and 19.5. The competent authority exercises the power under rule 12.21 on certain reports and not in an arbitrary manner. It cannot, therefore, be said that the competent authority under rule 12.21. exercises any arbitrary power. Sawaranpuri vs. State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 P.L.R. 771.

Discharge during probation on the basis of unauthorised absence. Without going into the merits of the fact whether the petitioner has absented himself un auhtorisedly or was in fact under medical treatment and what is the evidentiary value of letter like Annexures P-3 and P-4, I am of the view that the impugned order though couched in simple language is in fact by way of punishment as the whole basis is the misconduct of the petitioner of having absented unauthorisedly during the training course. ittedly no enquiry was held prior to ing the order of discharge.

Discharge from service for being absence from duty for a few hours. We find that no doubt under Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules a Constable who is found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment”, but the order of discharge cannot be based on some minor or trivial stray incident, as the language of the rule is clearly indicative of the intention of the rule makers; that the Constable has to be found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer, which can only be on the basis of opinion formed by the authorities by consistent lapses or misbehaviour on the part of the Constable which should be incompatible with his efficiency. These tests are completely missing in the present case and we are satisfied that the impugned order is wholly arbitrary in as much as mere absence from duty for a fee hours, although even that allegation is disputed by the petitioner, is not sufficient to be the basis of the order of discharge. Dinesh Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 582.

Discharge—No material on record to come to the conclusion that the constable was likely to prove a good Police Officer. There is absolutely no material on the record to prove that the plaintiff was not likely to prove a good police officer for which he could be discharged from service under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is evident from the said rule that the Constable shall be kept under close supervision and reported on at intervals of six months in From 195(1) by the Sub-Inspector or Inspector under whom he is working through his gazetted officer to the Superintendent of Police, No such six-monthly report has been brought on the record on behalf of the defendants. In the circumstances, there is no illegality in the concurrent findings of the two Courts below as to be interfered with in second appeal.

Discharge of Police Constable. The Deputy Superintendent (n) exercises the powers of the Superintendent of Police of a Civil District. The order of discharge made by Deputy Superintendent of Police, therefore, was within jurisdiction. Sawaran Puri vs. The State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 PlR 771.
35.
Discharge of police constable after the grant of certificate under rule 12.22 whether permissible. No constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 after the grant of the prescribed certificate under rule 12.22 to him is to say that rule 12.21 is non-existent, and can never come into effect. This argument was repelled by the Division Bench in Karan Singh’s case and we are in full agreement with the view taken by this Court. Jai Singh, ExConstable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
36.
Discharge—Reinstatement. Another significant aspect of the matter is that the original order of discharge (Annexure P-1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be viewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9-1991(3) RSI 379.

Discharge – Relieved after more than 3 yeas and 4 months of service. Under provision of P.P.R. 12.21 a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer ma be discharged by the Superintendent of Police at any time within three years of enrolment. But in the instant case the

petitioner was enrolled as a Constable in 1984 (6.2.1984) and the competent authority has ed the impugned order relieving him w.e.f. 20.6.1987, i.e., after more than 3 years and 4 months. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9=1991(3) RSI 379. 38.
Discharge within a period of three years of enrolment. The Appointing authority of the petitioner had considered has record of service on 10.2.1983 and decided to discharge him from service under rule 12.21 of the Rules. So far as the appointing authority is concerned, it exercised its power well within the period of three years communicated to him five days later, i.e. on 15.2.1983 and qua the petitioner it became effective on that date and he is entailed to salary till 15.2.1983. The assertion of the petitioner that he had unblemished record of service has been found to be incorrect. Besides punishment awarded to him at three occasions for lapse on his part in stance of his absence from duty recorded in the office file, which was also placed before the appointing authority. He willfully absented himself from duty for about ten hours from 10.P.M. on 1.12.1982 to 8.30 A.M. on 2.12.1982. he made an excuse that he was not feeling well but his version was disbelieved. In view of the instances of lapse on the part of the petitioner in the performance of his duties mentioned in the written statement as also recorded in the office file which were taken into consideration by the appointing authority while exercising power under the aforesaid rule, no fault can be found with the said order. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order Annexure P.5 is not a speaking order has also no force. It is a simple order of discharge and no reasons in of the same were required to be given. Vinod Kumar vs. State Haryana and another, 1986(3) S.L.R. 311.
39.
Discharge within period of three years under rule 12.21. The petitioner having once undergone a rigorous training and various tests provided by the various sub-rules of rule 12 and sub-rules (2) and (3) of rule 19 there can be no question of his being declared to be not likely to be an efficient police officer. We are unable to find any force in this argument. Rules 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4 are succeeded by rule 19.5 which by way of abundant caution makers it clear that all the provisions contained therein are subject to rule 12.21. the initial training provided for in the various provision of rule 12 is in order to qualify a constable for enrolment. The period of three years during which a constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 is in the nature of a probationary period. The fact that a constable undergoes training and rigorous tests rule 12.21. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.

Natural Justice – Discharge of enrolled constable. It cannot be disputed that he from of the order is not decisive as to whether the order is simple order of discharge under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is always open to the Court before which the order is challenged to go behind the form and ascertain the true character of the order. If the Court holds that the order though in the form is merely a determination of employment is in reality a cloak for an order of punishment, the court would not be debarred, merely because of the form of the order, in giving effect to the rights conferred by law upon the employed. It gives an absolute power to the Superintendent of Police discharge a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer. This rule applies where the constable is found not upto the mark in discharging his official duties. It relates to his functioning as a police constable. If an objective data available, the Superintendent of Police opines within three years of the enrolment of the Constable that he is not likely to prove an efficient police officer, the Constable can be discharged from service under the Rules. If he is accused of misconduct, then he is to be dealt with under Rule 16.24 of the Rules. Rule 16.24. lays down the procedure to be followed in departmental enquiries. If a Police Officer is accused of misconduct, the superior officer may direct an enquiry to be conducted against him unless the allegations are such that it can form the basis of criminal charge, the superior officer shall decide at that stage whether the officer accused of misconduct shall be tried departmentally firs and judicially thereafter.

Police officer cannot be discharged from service on of misconduct of absence from duty. Even though a reference has been made to Police Rule 12.21, yet it has been clearly stated herein that the petitioner had been dismissed from service w.e.f. May 30, 1990. It is also clear from a perusal of the documents on record as also the written statement that the petitioner was accused of being absent from duty. He had been called upon to show cause as to why action be not taken against him. In this situation, it is apparent that the petitioner was not merely discharged from service but had been punished on of the alleged misconduct. Such an order could not have been ed except after the grant of a due and reasonable opportunity of hearing as contemplated under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules and Article 311 of the Constitution. Paramjeet Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(6) S.L.R. 313 = 1991(2) RSJ 705
43.
Power to discharge a recruit. The Police Rules disclose that the constable are appointed under rule 12.12. They are recruited and then their names are entered in the of recruits. Thereafter, their physical fines is ascertained under rule 12.15. They are subjected to medical examination under rule 12.16 and after they have been declared medically fit, they are enrolled in the order book in Form 12.13. Thereafter the recruit is sent to the Lines officer who personally places him in the charge of the Chief Drill Instructor and thereafter his training starts. Rule 12.18 prescribes for the verification of the character of the recruit. rule 12.20 deals with dated of enrolment. Then follows rule 12.21 which confers powers on the Superintendent of Police to discharge a constable. In the context of the Police Rules, it appears that this Rule is meant to finally screen suitable persons who should be appointed to the police force. It is after a period of three years screening that a recruit is entitled to be enrolled as a police constables and then a certificate of appointment is issued to him in the Form 12.22(1) unless within the period of three years, he is discharged from service. There is no rule in the Police Rules providing for confirmation of temporary police constables. It is evident from the scheme of the Police Rules that the power to discharge a recruit, and here I must emphasise that all recruits are temporary hands, is with the Superintendent of Police and has to be exercised by him within a period of three years from the date the constable is brought on the of enrolled recruits. As a matter of fact, under rule 12.18, a recruit can be provisionally enrolled pending, the result of reference as to his character. Therefore, if the intention was that a person should still remain a temporary hand after a certificate to him had been issued under rule 12.22, the framers would have made a similar provision as has been made in rule 12.20 namely that he will still be a provisional hand in the police force. After reading the rules in Chapter XII in their proper context, the result is that a constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. If he is to be removed from service, procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, obvious that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule 12.21 is not justified by the Police Rules and, therefore, must be quashed. We may make it clear that we are not pronouncing upon the fitness of the petitioner to be retained in the police force. That is a matter which the Superintendent of Police or any competent authority in this behalf is entitled to determine. It will be open to them after following the procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI to dispense with the services of the petitioner if they are of the opinion that he is not a suitable person to be retained in the police force. We are only striking down the order because the order could not be ed under Rule 12.21. Shri Dwarka Dass vs. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and other, 1968 S.L.R. 760
44.
Power to discharge at any time within three years. Every service is governed by its own reles. No service rule can be struck down as being ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution merely because it is more vigorous than the corresponding rule for some other service of the State or because its equal cannot be found in any other service. Eualityd of o9pportunity is guaranteed amonst equals. Inasmuch as the rule is the same for all the Constables in the Punjab Police Force the argument of discrimination is wholly fallacious. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371
45.
Power to discharge. We are fortified in this view of ours by the authoritative pronouncement of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in S.P. Vasudeva vs. State of Haryana and others, AIR 1975 SC 2292. Indeed Mr. Saini concedes that if the constable covered by rule 12.21 can be equated to a probationer, he cannot press this argument. His submission however, is that according to rule 13.18 the constable are not governed by any rule as to probation. There is no doubt that rule 13.18 which refers to probationary period neither has not can have any application to constables, but the provisions of rule 12.21 provide for same kind of probation, and though this is not called a probationary period, it is in fact nothing short of making a special provision of that nature. Article 311 of the constitution has, therefore, no application to this case. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371

Power under –- Can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable. Only point on behalf of the appellant is, that this case was fully covered by the decision of the Division Bench in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid), the ratio of which would be binding on this Bench. In other works, he reiterates point No. 3 conversed by him before the learned Single Judge and maintains that the issue of the certificate under rule 12.22(1) had conferred on the appellant the substantive rank of the constable vesting him with the powers, functions and privileges of a police officer. The argument proceeds that the appellant thus had a right to hold the post and his summary discharge amounts to a punishment, which could not be awarded without complying with the procedure laid down in Article 311, the Police Rules indicate that every person is enrolled in Police Force on a sort of probation for a period of three years and during this period, at any time, the Superintendent of Police can discharge him from service, if it is found that he is “unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer”. This is provided in rule 12.21.

The Police Rules, 1934
A plain reading of rule 12.22(1) and the prescribed form shows that this certificate is issued at the time of enrolment and not as proof by his having satisfactorily completed the three years’ period of ‘probation’. Indeed, in the instant case, this enrolment, viz November 17, 1966. Of course, three are some observations in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid) that such a certificate in the prescribed Form under rule 12.22(1) is to be issued only after the satisfactory completion of the three years’ probation by a recruit and that a Constable who has obtained such a certificate cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. These observations as rightly pointed out by the learned Single Judge, “having to be taken in the context of that case and in my opinion, cannot be applied to the case of a constable who is discharged from service before the expiry of the three years by the Superintendent of Police under the power vested in him by rule 12.21”. The distinguishing feature of Dwarka Das’s case, was the constable’s services were terminated as no longer required after he had satisfactory completed three year’s service from the date of his recruitment. In other works, the power under Rule 12.21 can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable and no thereafter. Since that period of three years had expired, Dwarka Das Could not be validly dischargedunder rule 12.22(1). Karan Singh vs. The State of Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 624 47.
Probationer – Removal from service – Juniors retained – Validity. There is not even a word either on the record or otherwise to show that the enquiry with respect to the alleged misconduct was to find out the suitability to retain in service. It is obvious that the enquiry was with and intention to punish the delinquent plaintiff as well as Jasbir Kaur. In order to find out whether an apparently nocuous order is in substance by way of punishment, one has to look on the facts which preceded and succeeded. In order to do substantial justice, the Court can go behind an ostensibly innocuous order to find out the real nature of the order by removing veil. Undoubtedly, the impugned order by which the plaintiff who was a probationer and, has been removed does affect her reputation as a female member of society as well as her future chances of service. Had an opportunity been given to her, she would have shown that the alleged misconduct attributed to her in no way affected her being an efficient police officer to be retained in police service. At any rate the discharge of the plaintiff from service is totally discriminatory as the alleged misconduct similarly attributed to Jasbir Kaur was no found to be sufficient to hold that she will not prove to be an efficient police officer. Punjab State and another vs. Smt. Kamlesh Kumari, 1988(1) S.L.R. 614
48.
Temporary employee – Discharge of on the ground that he having been found unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer. The impugned order of discharge from service was no made in accordance with Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules. 1934 and in accordance with the and conditions of the letter of appointment but it was made by way of punishment. The Commandant – respondent No.2, vide his dated 29.9.1987 had asked the petitioner to resume duty otherwise departmental action would be taken against him. In the background of these facts and circumstances it is clear that the impugned order of discharge from service was made on the ground of his misconduct i.e. absence from duty and it is penal in nature. In the case of Rajinder Kaur vs. Punjab State and another, 1986(3) SLR 78, replying upon the decisions in the cases of Shamsher Singh and another vs. State of Punjab, 1975(1) SCR 814 and Anoop Jaiswal vs. Government of India and another, 1984(2) SCR 453, the Supreme Court held that the impugned order of discharged though couched in innocuous , was merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. That order was made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words in total contravention of the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. Rajender Singh vs. State of Haryana and another, 1989(2) S.L.R. 79 = 1991(1) RSJ 761

Termination of services of temporary lady constable. The impugned order of discharge though couched in innocuous , is merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. This order has been made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words the order has been made in total contravention of the provision of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. The impugned order is, therefore, liable to be quashed and set aside. A writ of certiorari be issued on the respondents to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 9.9.1980 of her dismissal from service. A writ in the nature of mandamus and appropriate directions be issued to allow the appellant to be reinstated in the post from which she has been discharged. The appeal is thus allowed with costs. The authorities concerned will pay all her emoluments to which she is entitled to in accordance with the extent rules as early as possible in any case not later than eight weeks from the date of this judgment.

Termination – put in six years of services as constable and obtained certificate under Rule 12.22. The petitioner having been recruited as a Constable on May 11, 1967, his service could be terminated by the Superintendent of Police under rule 12.21 till May 10, 1970. The Superintendent of Police could not invoke his authority under rule 12.21 of the Rules after the expiry of three years with effect from May 11, 1967. The impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed on July 16, 1973, is violative of Article 311 of the Constitution read with rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is clear that the impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed after expiry of three years of the enrolment of the petitioner as a constable cannot be sustained. The instructions dated December 11, 1963, issued by the deputy Legal Remembrancer and referred to in the written statement of the Superintendent of Police, Hoshiapur, are hardly relevant to the point under consideration. In the first place these instructions do not lay down that the service of a police constable who has put in more than three years can be terminated under rule 12.21 of the Rules by giving him tow months’ notice. And secondly any such instruction, if so issued, shall have to be ignored being illegal. Curdev Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 365. 12.22. Certificate of appointments. – (1) Every enrolled police officer shall be given a certificate of appointment in the form prescribed by the Police Act (Form 12.22 (1)) and shall sign a receipt therefor in his character roll. Such certificate shall be signed by the gazetted officer empowered to make the appointment. (2) Such certificate shall be in abeyance during periods of suspension and shall be surrendered on leaving the service. SYNOPSIS
1. Appointment of the post of DIG. The Additional Supdt. of Police who initiated the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, has not been mentioned under Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861 as one of the authorities competent to do so. The service record of the petitioner also contained entries indicating that the verification of the service of the petitioner from 18.7.1949 to 31.12.1961 was made “ for Senior Supdt. of Police, Delhi”. The service roll of the petitioner indicates that the appointing authority of the petitioner was the Senior Supdt. of Police. Lakhi Ram vs. Union of India and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 365. 12.23. Trackers. – (1) In districts where tracking by indigenous methods is an established custom, professional trackers may be appointed to the police by Superintendents either as constables or head constables according to their qualifications and up to the age of 35 years. (2) The physical standards prescribed in rule 12.15 shall not be obligatory in the case of trackers, but rules 12.16 and 12.18 shall apply to them. Trackers, who prove unsatisfactory in respect of character and skill, may be discharged at any time. Men enlisted as trackers shall not be promoted or transferred for general police duties, unless they are thoroughly qualified for such duties. (3) The number of professional trackers to be enrolled in any district, and the number of such appointments which may be made in the rank of head constable, shall be fixed by the Deputy Inspector-General from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of the criminal situation and the interests of interests of the service. Professional trackers should ordinarily be employed entirely as such and should not be trained in drill, musketry or the general duties of a police officer. Men so enrolled and employed shall be issued with an appointment certificate (rule 12.22), but shall receive only a partial issue of uniform and equipment, comprising warm clothing and such articles of the full kit as are necessary for their duties. (4) When considered advisable one or more trackers may be enlisted in sanctioned additional police appointments. (5) The indigenous system of tracking is based on hereditary lore and custom; and utility of a tracker skilled in that system is, therefore, limited in the main to the area in the neighbourhood of his home, or to areas of similar physical characteristics inhabited by people of similar habits and customs. For these reasons it is useless to import to an area where local trackers are unobtainable a tracker from a distant and dissimilar area. In cases where a professional tracker is both willing to serve away from his home, and is proved by practical tests to be capable of exercising his skill successfully under the conditions in which it is desired to employ him, he may, with the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General, be enrolled. 12.24. Enlistment of ex-soldiers, reservists and ex-police officer. – (1) Re-enrolment in the rank of constable is permitted and past service will count for pension under the following conditions and subject to the further conditions as to pensions contained in rule 9.2 and 9.29:(f) Ex-soldiers of the Indian Army and ex- of police forces ( including Military Police), paid for from the general revenues of India, may be enlisted as constables on production of a discharge certificate showing their previous service to have been “good” or of higher classification, http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The certificate will be signed by the Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, Punjab, or by the Superintendent of Police of the district in which the reservist is serving. The ordinary police musketry course is sufficient for this purpose, vide Government of India, Home Department letter No. F- 28/11/31 Police, dated the 22nd September, 1931. Reservists of other branches of the Indian Army may also be enlisted in the police, provided that the conditions of their reserve service and periodical training as laid down in paragraph 170 of the Regulations for the Army in India do not interfere with their police duties. The total number of all classes of reservists should not exceed five percent of the sanctioned strength of constables in each district. They should be released from employment immediately mobilization is ordered to enable them to re the colours. (3) Claims to count service for pension shall, when the above conditions are fulfilled, be dealt with as required by rules 9,2, 9.3 and 9.29. In the case of previous military service, the condonation of breaks and ission to count for police pension require the sanction of the local Government. Such claims must therefore be for warded through Deputy Inspectors-General to the Inspector-General for obtaining such sanction. (4) Original discharge certificates, character rolls and service books, or such of those documents as may be available, shall be submitted in of claims under this rule. NOTE:-- A case in which it is desired to appoint a person, with previous military or police service, to a rank of and above that of head constable, shall be decided in the light of so much as is applicable of this rule read with other rules in this chapter. 12.25.

CHAPTER XIII – PROMOTIONS 13.1. Promotion from one rank to another. –(1) Promotion from one rank to another, and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made b selection tempered by seniority. Efficiency and honesty shall be the main factors governing selection. Specific qualifications, whether in the nature of training courses ed or practical experience, shall be carefully considered in each case. When the qualifications of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. This rule does not affect increments within a time-scale. (2) Under the present constitution of the police force no lower subordinate will ordinarily be entrusted with the independent conduct of investigations or the independent charge of a police station or similar unit. It is necessary, therefore, that well-educated constables, having the attributes necessary for bearing the responsibilities of upper subordinate rank, should receive accelerated promotion so as to reach that rank as soon as they have ed the courses prescribed for, and been tested and given practical training in, the ranks of constable and head constable. (3) For the purposes of regulating promotion amongst enrolled police officers six promotion lists – A, B, C, D, E and F will be maintained. List A, B, C and D shall be maintained in each district as prescribed in rules 13.6, 13.7, 13.8 and 13.9 and will regulate promotion to the selection grade of constable and to the ranks of head constables and Assistant Sub-Inspector. List E shall be maintained in the office of Deputy Inspectors-General as prescribed in sub-rule 13.10(1) and will regulate promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector. List F shall be maintained in the office of the Inspector-General as prescribed in sub-rule 13.15(1) and will regulate promotion to the rank of Inspector. Entry in or removal from A, B, C, D or E lists shall be recorded in the order book and in the character roll of the police officer concerned. These lists are nominal rolls of those officers whose ission to them has been authorized. No actual selection shall be made without careful examination of character rolls. (Proviso for Punjab added vide Notification No. G.S.R. 86 dated 19.10.1972) “Provided that five percent for such promotions may be made from amongst the of the Police Force, who achieve outstanding distinction in sports field at All India level or International level if they are otherwise eligible for promotion but for seniority.” SYNOPSIS 1.

Automatic confirmation—Appointment against permanent post. It is obvious that the maximum period of probationis two years. During this period either a person is found fit for confirmation for he is to be reverted. It soes not lie in the mouth of the State that the petitioner was not fit for confirmation because in that case it was the duty of the State to revert him. The rule makes it imperative that the period of probation could bot be extended beyond two years under any circumstance. Shri-Hari Nand vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others, 1981(2) S.L.R. 727
2.
Confirmation. Rule 13.9(2) relates to promotion as an Assistant Sub-Inspector. It is specifically provided in the rule that substantive promotion the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector shall be made by the Deputy Inspector-General in accordance with the principles prescribed in rule 13.1. It is not dispute that the petioner ed the Intermediate School Course in September, 1963 whereas respondent Nos. 3 and 6 ed the said course in March, 1964 and March, 1965, respectively, respondent No. 4 was a direct recruit. responsent No. 7, however, ed that course in March, 1962. It has not been provided in any rule that in case an Assistant Sub-Inspector has been brought on list ‘E’ prior to his seniors he should be confirmed as Assistant Sub-Inspector prior to the letter. It may also be relevant to point out at theis stage that the petitioner had also ed the Upper School Course prior to the confirmation of respondent Nos. 3, 4, 6 and 7 as Assistant Sub-Inspector and that the were junior to him. Therefore, the petitioner was entitled to be considered for conformation as Assistant Sub-Inspector when the above said respondents were confirmed.

3. Efficiency and Honesty. The basis rule laid down in Rule 13.1(1) is that the sub-stantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post was to be made “by selection tempered by Seniority. Efficiency ad Honesty shall be the main factors governing selection.” Rule 13.1(1) implies that the efficiency is to judged by the confirming authority and leaves the confirming authority free to judge it in a suitable manner. The test is a just and fair method of judging the efficiency. The power to prescribed the test is, therefore, implied in the power to judge the efficiency. It is now well established that executive instructions such as the circular prescribing the test can supplement statutory rules particularly when the power to issue such an executive instruction is implied in the power given by the statutory rules. 1972 P.L.R.

5.
Holding of departmental examinations for promotion. In the return filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, it has been stated in sub-paragraph (iv) of paragraph in reply to the allegations contained in paragraph 15 of the petition that according to departmental instructions, selection for Intermediate Course is to be made from among confirmed Head Constables who have ed Lower School Course and do not exceed 40 years in age. It was denied that certain Head Constables in the matter of selection superseded the petitioner. All those Head Constables were said to have been either on probation or were confirmed at the time of the selection for the Intermediate Training Course. Shri Parkash Chand, Assistant to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, who has filed the affidavit on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, has stated that the petitioner appeared before him on 17th May, 1966 and requested that he should be allowed to serve in the C.I.D. and that the would no claim his promotion. Later on, however, he was asked to put the same in writing. He submitted that his domestic affairs did not permit him to work in the District Police and it was on own his request that he was permitted to stay in the C.I.D. I have no manner of doubt that the examinations which were conducted by the Superintendent of Police are not at all contemplated or covered by Rule 13.8(2) nor can I persuade myself to accept that under Rule 13.1 the holding of the examinations by the Superintendent o Police was be the proper method for judging efficiency and honesty. There are various other ways of finding whether an officer is honest and efficiency and a good deal would depend on the actual reports of his work by his superior officers relating to efficient and honest discharge of duty. I am, therefore, satisfied that the petitioner has a genuine grievance when the result of the examinations held by the Superintendent of Police was taken into consideration while deciding whether, he should be put on probation as a Head Constable. Lakshya Vir, Head Constable vs. Punjab State, 1967 S.L.R. 706

Intermediate School Course. The respondents are confirmed Head Constables. The stage of undergoing the Lower School Course has long since ed. It would have been a relevant consideration at the time of confirmation. The learned counsel for the respondent have rightly contended that once the respondents have been confirmed, they will be deemed to have been exempted from ing the Lower School Course. Whether the respondents had ed the Lower School Course or not, is not relevant at the present stage. The respondents were confirmed many years back. They have not to be deputed to the Intermediate School Course in accordance with their seniority. We are in complete agreement with the conclusions of the learned Single Judge. The learned counsel for the appellants has not been able to his contention either on principle or on precedent. State of Haryana and others vs. Phool Chand, Head Constable and others, 1985(2) L.LR. 425
7. Objective test for the assessment of the efficiency of the candidates. The authority empowered to confirm or substantively promote an officiating SubInspector under Rule 13.1(1) was liable to act in a discriminatory manner if he were to judge the efficiency of the numerous persons in List ‘E’ only subjectively. It was for this reason that the circular dated 14.9.1957, Exhibit PW/3/10 laid down an objective test for the assessment of the efficiency of the candidate in List ‘E’. Such objective test was fair to all the candidates in List ‘E’ and protected them from possible discrimination or vagaries inevitable in a merely subjective test. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I. Police, 1969 S.L.R. 782 8. Officiation and Substantive promotion. The promotion under Ch. XIII is of two kinds viz. (a) an officiating promotion and (b) a substantive promotion. Officiating promotion is governed by the provisions of R. 13.10 and 13.12. whereas substantive promotion is governed by R.13.1. The distinction between substantive promotion and the officiating promotion is clearly made in R. 13.9(2), which deals with Lest ‘D’. But the same distinction is applicable to the provisions dealing with List ‘E’ also. Rule 13.1(1) applies to the substantive promotion of Police Officers in all the lists including List ‘E’ as is shown by the provisions of Rule 13.1(3) which specifically refers to List ‘E’ also. 9.
Probation period—Reversion. The relevant Punjab Police Rules may have to be seen to ascertain whether there is scope for issuing instructions concerning the holding of the test for preparing a test for promoting a police constable driver as a head constable. Rule 13.18 prescribes that all police officers promoted in rank shall be on probation for two years; while on probation officers may be reverted without departmental proceeding and such reversion shall not be considered as reduction in rank. Makhan Singh vs. Union of India, 1977 P/LR. (D) 85
10. Promotion – Criteria for. Upper subordinates in the above rule mean Sub-Inspector and Inspectors. It is evident from the said rule that in the first instance seniority of the upper subordinates is reckoned from the date of first appointment but the final seniority is determined from the dates of confirmation. The matter which are to be taken into consideration for making promotion as already observed have been given in rule 13.1 of the Rules. The fact that an officer is brought on list ‘E’ prior to another senior officer does not make him entitled to promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector prior to the latter. At the time of promotion the criteria laid down in rule 13.1 is to be taken into consideration. Balkrishan vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(1) S.L.R. 367 11. Promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another. Rule 13.1 of the Rules prescribes that promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made by selection tempered by seniority and that efficiency and honesty shall be main factors governing selection. Specific qualifications, whether in the nature of training courses or practical experience, shall be carefully considered in each case and when the qualification of two officers are other wise equal, the senior shall be promoted. When the petitioner was promoted as officiating SubInspector of Police, it is presumed that he had been found fit for that promotion and ha was not reverted on the ground that he had become unsuitable or his efficiency and honesty had deteriorated. Respondents 2 to 14 were promoted in the rank of Head Constable, Assistant Sub-Inspector and SubInspector, a number of years later than the petitioner. The possible exception of respondent 8 is that he was promoted as officiating Head Constable and conformed in that post earlier than the petitioner, but he got his promotion as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and Sub-Inspector of Police on December 21,1960, and September 21, 1963, respectively, whereas the petitioner was promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police on October 15, 1957 and December 13, 1960, respectively. In the case of a promotion, selection has been made on merit keeping In view seniority and, once an officer id promoted, it is to be presumed that ha was found fit for promotion. At the time of reversion, the junior most officer has to be reverted first and selection cannot be made from amongst the officiating personnel on the basis of relative merit unless it is found in the case of a senior officer that he had become unsuitable or his efficiency and honesty had deteriorated after he was given the officiating chance. I regret and honesty had deteriorated after he was given the officiating chance. I regret I cannot agree the choice the submission of the learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2 that the employer has the choice of selecting his employees. This rule does not apply to Government servants for whose service specific statutory rules have been framed. Under the statutory rules, no arbitrary powers can be presumed to exist in favour of the appointing authority or the Head of the Department. The executive power has to be exercised justly and fairly, so that all the Government servants are treated alike, which is their fundamental right guaranteed by Article 16 of the Constitution. The reversion of a senior officer, while a junior officer is retained in the officiating rank status; emoluments and further chances of promotion and is thus punitive in charter although it has not been made by way of punishment. Nevertheless, evil consequences follow and in order to avoid that the well-known principle of ‘last come first go’ has to be followed in the case of reservation. At the risk of repetition, I wish to emphasis that the appointing authority has the power to select from amongst the eligible candidate he best man available who may not be the senior most man at the time of appointment or promotion but at the time of reversion, the senior man will be reverted only if he has not been found suitable for the officiating post or after occupying that post his efficiency and honesty have deteriorated. This principle has not been followed by respondents 2 while reverting the petitioner in the present case. The order ed by him smacks of arbitrariness and favoritism. In fact, the assertion on behalf of respondent 2 in his written statement that ‘exceptions cannot be ruled out altogether on the basis of special consideration achievements ‘gives a clue how he while ing the order of reversion. Not only was relative merit not considered but other ‘consideration’ prevailed with him, which other consideration have not been explained in the written statement. The order also does not contain any reason for reverting the petitioner while retaining his juniors in service. The only reason given is for want of vacancy and for his reason the junior-most officiating SubInspector should have been reverted. Harmohinder Singh, Sub-Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1971 (2)S.L.R 304 12.Promotion on list “D” – No test prescribed under the Rules. – Standing Order No 238 of the Inspector General of Police prescribed departmental qualifying test for drawing up promotion list “D” (women police) is in total conflict with the procedure prescribed for maintenance of promotion list “D” by rule 13.9 of ht Punjab Police Rules. The object of standing order No 238 of the Inspector General of Police was to prescribe altogether a different method for drawing promotion list “D” (women police) and the method adopted was contrary to and in conflict with the provisions of rule 13.9 of Punjab Police Rules. The standing order did not have effect of merely supplementing the provisions rule 13.9. A method contradictory to the one prescribed in rule 13.9 was provided by the standing order for list “D” (women police). Smt. Kailash Wati Bajaj vs. Union of India and other. 1973(1) S.L.R. 249 13.Promotion—Record shaddy. – It is obvious promotion has to be selection tempered by seniority, and efficiency as well as honesty are the main consideration for it. The appellant claims that he should have been promoted before respondents Malkiat Singh, Yudnvir Singh was character rolls of the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

appellant which were duly conveyed to him. Now Malkiat Singh was conformed in August, 1963, long before the appellant was confirmed. He was thus senior to the appellant. As regards the other respondents, there is nothing to show that their record was no better than the appellant. Persons with better record were entitled to be selected. It may be noticed that appellant has been reported to be a habitual drunkard and having misconducted himself on a number of occasions even after his promotion as Police Prosecutor. Bani Ram Sharma vs. State of Himachal Pardesh and others, 1982 (1)S.L.R 378 14.Promotion—To the posts of Assistant Sub-Inspectors—ing of certificate wave. – A perusal of Rule 13.1(1) reproduced above would go to show that promotion from one rank to another, inclusive of from the post of Head Constable to that of Assistant Sub-Inspector bad to be made by selection tempered by seniority. The emphasis is upon selection. It is true that the selection is tempered with seniority but all that it means is that in the process of selection, seniority would also play its due role. If seniority alone was the criteria there was no need to mention selection in the Rule. Seniority alone is not the sole determining factor is also made out from the kast three lines of the Rule which go to show that when qualification of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. It necessarily follows that when junior ha better qualifications, he can score over his senior correct reading of Rule 13.1(1) of Punjab Police Rule, in my opinion, cannot be interpreted to say that whatever by the circumstances, whatever be the qualifications of Head Constable and whatever be their merit, only senior Head Constable who have ed the qualifying course first have to be promoted before the one who have done the said course later. It is the positive case of the respondents that a test was conducted. Whereas respondents No 4 to 31 has qualified the said test, the petitioners failed. The Departmental Promotion Committee had gone through the process of selection by holding a test and the said test with a view to find out merit is certainly of the modes to make selection. Ashwani Kumar and other vs. State of Haryana and others, S.L.R 687=1991(3)RSJ 682 15. Removal of name of a police officer from list E or list D. In deciding in each particular case whether the reversion of a Government servant id by way of punishment or not yhe court has to keep in view the context and circumstances of the case leading to reversion and the consequence directly flowing from reversion in so far as they may affect the substantive rank of the Government servant and not qua the higher rank which he was holding in an officiating capacity or as a probationer. The loss of emoluments of higher post and being reverted to the lower post are not penal consequences as they have reference to their post and not to substantive post. Though the motive of reversion id not relevant, actual effect of the order of reversion is material for deciding whether in each particular case it amounts to reduction in rank or not. The State of Punjab vs. Rijinder Sing, ILR (1996) Punj. 84=1965 P.L.R. supp 625 16. Requirement of the test laid down by the circular. The requirement of the test laid down by the circular, dated 14.9.1957 was merely a method of judging the efficiency. It was, therefore, valid and the reversion of the respondent could not be challenged in so far as it was made because the respondent failed to appear at the test and thereby showed that he was not efficient within the meaning of Rule 13.1(1) of the Punjab Police Rules. The respondents has pointedly pleaded in paragraph 8(I) of the plaint that several persons were confirmed as Sub-Inspector of Police without qualifying in the departmental test laid down by the circular, dated 14.9.1957 and that the respondents alone was reverted for not taking the test, an action which was discriminatory and contrary to Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The only defence was that the persons who were confirmed inspite of their failure to take the test were probationers and their cases did not stand on the same footing as that of the respondents, who was only officiating as a Sub-Inspector of Police. This defence is untenable on the face of it. Firstly, the circular, dated 14.9.1957 expressly to probationers as well as to persons officiating as Sub-Inspector of Police. Both these categories of persons were required to take the test. The defence is, thus contrary to the circular and, therefore, totally fails to explain why several probationers were confirmed without taking the test, while the respondents alone was reverted for not taking test. Secondly, neither any Rules nor any istrative instructions have been brought to any my notice to show if a probationer and a person appointed to officiate can be distinguished from each other by intelligible differentia. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj A.S.I Police, 1969 S.L.R 782 17. Reversion for failure to satisfy the test of efficiency. In State of Haryana vs. Shamsher Jung, 1968 SLR 162, the departmental examination for promotion was not show to be implied in the statutory rules governing the promotion in considering whether executive instructions supplement the statutory rules. The above-mentioned Supreme Court decisions were not considered by the Court in Satpal Sharma vs. State of Punjab, 1968 SLR 484 also the imposition of a test for promotion was not shown to be necessary for the assessment of efficiency as in the present case. In Ram Kishan vs. InspectorGeneral of Police, 1968 SLR 661 the vital distinction between the officiating promotion and the substantive promotion pointed out above was not brought to the notice of the court with the result that the court did not consider the question whether the power to hold a test was implied in the power to judge the efficiency under the Punjab Police Rule 13.1 (1). In Lakshya Vir vs. State of Punjab, 1967 SLR 706, it was observed that under Punjab Police Rules, 13.1(1), 13.1(2) and 13.8(1) there could be other methods than test to judge the efficiency of a candidate. With great respect, however, it may be pointed out that it is for the confirming authority to devise a suitable method of judging the efficiency. If the test was a suitable method, it is not for this court to suggest to the confirming authority to search for other suitable methods so long as the method of test cannot be said to be unsuitable or outside the power conferred by the Punjab Police Rule 13.1(1). A mere reversion for failure to satisfy the test of efficiency and removal of the name from list “E” was, therefore, not a reduction in a rank at all within the meaning of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. This was also the view expressed in the State of Punjab vs. Rajinder Singh, 1965 PLR . Supplement 625. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I Police, 1969 S.L.R 728 18. Right to be deputed for Intermediate School Course . – Rule 13.9 deals with the preparation of list “D” for promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors. The Head Constable eligible for being itted to this list are those who have ed the Lower School Course and the Intermediate School Course and unless they are so qualified, they have no right to be considered for being itted to that list. Once a Head Constable qualified by ing both the course, his case is placed before the Deputy Inspector General of Police for being brought on list “D” and it is at that time that his efficiency and integrity come up for consideration along with other relevant factors, one of them being whether he is fit for officiating or substantive promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector. Merely because a Head Constable has ed the Intermediate School Course does not give him right of being itted to list “D”. By ing that course, he only qualifies himself for being considered for ission to list “D”. It can well happen that when a Head Constable ed an Intermediate School Course, he may not be considered thoroughly efficient in all branches of the duties of a Constable or Head Constable and some time later he attains that efficiency. He will then become eligible for being brought on list “D” which will open the way for him to be promoted to the rank of officiating or substantive Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police. It is contended on behalf of the respondents that when he became efficient, he will be sent for the Intermediate School Course but it may happen that at that time he is unable to qualify in that examination either because of advanced age or physical unfitness. In that case it will mean that such a Head Constable is condemned for ever to remain as a Head Constable and cannot seek promotion to the next higher rank. We are, therefore, or the opinion that it is inherent in rule 13.9 and a legitimate inference can be drawn from the language of this rule every Head Constable list “C” has the right to be deputed for the Intermediate School Course on his turn and no obstacle can be placed in his way by any o the authorities because it is a necessary prescribed by any that rule and there is no other institution from where this qualification himself by ing the Intermediate School Course from any other institution, no obligation would have been cast on the Government to afford him an opportunity to that course and thus acquire that qualification just as educational qualifications are prescribed which can be acquired by the candidates from any of the numerous institutions. Since this qualification cannot be acquired in any other way but by ission to the Police Training College, the Head Constable willing to undergo that must be afforded an opportunity to do so. Since the number of seats for the Intermediate School Course is limited, the Head Constable can be sent in the order of seniority as stated hereinafter. Under Rule 13.9 these two factors are taken consideration by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police while itting a Head Constable to list “D”, which can be done only after a Head Constable qualifies himself by ing the Lower School Course and the Intermediate School Course. These two factors cannot be taken into consideration when a Head Constable is to be sent for Intermediate School Course. That is a specific qualification which has also to be considered in each case along with efficiency, honesty and suitability. A Head Constable can became eligible for being selected only after he acquires qualification by ing the Intermediate School Course. Without ing that course, he cannot be considered and, therefore, it can legitimately be said that the acquiring of the qualification does not constitute a part of the process of promotion, it only makes the Head Constable eligible for being considered for selection. It is not possible for us to subscribe to the very wide proposition canvassed by the learned Advocate General for the State of Punjab that the process of promotion from the rank of Constable to the other higher ranks starts when a Constable is brought on list “A”. It cannot be said that immediately therefore the process of promotion from one rank to the other start and it is a continuing process till the Constable reaches the highest rank for which he is eligible. The process of promotion and is to be seen in the case of every promotion from one rank to the next higher rank and not as a whole from the lowest to the highest rank. Saradul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others, 1970 S.L.R 505 19. Rules are statutory in character. – Rule 13.1 and 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rule are statutory in character, having been made under the Police Act, 1861, and are applicable to the Union Territory of Delhi. Further as these rules do not make any distinction between male and female of the police force list “D” for regulating promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors even in the case of Lady Head Constable has to be prepared in accordance with the with the provision of rule 13.9. If for maintaining list “D” for Lady Constable for regulating their promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector any method is adopted which is an conflicted with the procedure prescribed by rule 13.9 it would obviously be illegal, being opposed to a statutory rule Sub-rule (3) of Rule 12(1) does not contemplate laying down a different procedure for women police than the one contained in Rule 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 for maintaining list”D”.

availability of the permanent vacancies for their confirmation as Head Constable with effect from dates earlier to the ones from which they had actually been confirmed. The petitioners cannot possibly make any grouse of that particularly when there is no inter so seniority of the petitioners and respondents Nos. 4 to 9 under Police Rules which govern their service conditions. As already pointed out, a working seniority list of all the Head Constables I the range is made by the Deputy Inspector General with a view to send them to the Intermediate Course as the said course forms a parts of the process of their further promotion go the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors whose seniority under the rules is maintained at the range level. I also find no mala fides or \extraneous considerations in the Deputy Inspector General or General directing the Senior Superintendent of Police, Faridkot, to consider the dates of confirmation of the Head Constables of his district in the light of the availability of permanent vacancies during the years 1976 to 1981. That having been done, respondents Nos. 4 to 9 apparently stole a march over the petitioners to be sent to the Intermediate Course. There is thus no question of any discrimination or arbitrariness in the orders ed by the Deputy Inspector General or the Senior Superintendent of Police, Faridkot. Lakha Singh, head Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1985(2) S.L.R. 695. 21. Substantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post – The most important thing which has been overlooked not only by both the learned lower Courts, but also in the various decisions cited in of the respondents case is that the promotion under Chapter XIII is of two kinds, viz. (a) an officiating promotion and (b) a substantive promotion. ittedly, the respondent had received only an officiating promotion. This was governed by the provisions of Rule 13.10 and 13.12. The substantive promotion of the respondent which would have meant his confirmation as a SubInspector of Police had yet to come. Substantive promotion was governed by Rule 13.1. The distinction between substantive promotion and the officiating promotion is clearly made in Rule 13.9(2), which deals with List ‘D’. But the same distinction is applicable to the provisions dealing with List ‘E’ also. This is borne out by the fact that Rule 13.4 specifically deals with officiating promotions Rule 13.4(2), deals with officiating promotions to the rank of SubInspector and Rule 13.4(3) specifically deals with persons, who are in List ‘E’ as the respondent was. These officiating promotions are to be distinguished from promotions simpliciter or substantive promotions referred to in Rule 13.1(1). Rule 13.1(1) applies to the substantive promotion of Police Officers in all the Lists including List ‘E’ as is shown by the provisions of Rule 13.1(3), which specifically refers to List ‘E’, which was the List in which the name of the respondent had been placed. The basic rule laid down in Rule 13.1(1) is that the substantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post was to be made “by selection tempered by seniority. Efficiency and honesty shall be the main factors governing selection”. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I. Police, 1969 S.L.R. 782. 13.2.

Seniority of Head Constables in districts will be recorded in form 10.88(1). SYNOPSIS 1. Jurisdiction to proceed with departmental enquiry. COMMENTS 1. Jurisdiction to proceed with departmental enquiry – Where the criminal court has tried the concerned person and acquital him, it would be improper and such a proceeding is liable to be quashed as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice, if the istrative authority later initiates disciplinary proceedings on the identical facts and identical charge and records a contrary conclusion. There could be no right or inflexible rule that the finding of a criminal Court is conclusive in every sense, upon a istrative authorities. If the finding be that the acquital is on a technical ground, the istrative authority may conceivably punish the employee the same facts. It can certainly punish where the acquittal is solely based on the same facts, sanction, or some technical defect in procedure. It could punish on the same facts, for some lesser charge, which may not amount to a criminal offence, but may well amount to grave dereliction of duty, entitling disciplinary action. But, however, where the acquittal is substantially on merits, on identical facts and charges, it will not be proper for a disciplinary Tribunal to record a finding of guilt, and to punish, the employee thereon. This would be a basic principle of jurisprudence and it would make no difference that the departmental authority acts before the criminal proceedings or after it and the Court, in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution., would be justified in striking down the action based on such finding as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice.

Promotion to the report of Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list ‘D’. COMMENTS
1. Automatic confirmation - - “Officiation” and being place on “probation” – Leaned counsel for the respondent-State was right in his stand that the nature of officiation does not either change or vary by the nature of the post against which a person officiates. The statutory rules do not the post against which a temporary vacancy only. To hold so, by a process of interpretation would, in my view, be unable. The language in the status is unlimited in its Sweep. Therefore, officiation may well be against a regular or permanent vacancy. In view permanent vacancies cannot possibly be excluded from the concept of an offciation against them. If in essence ‘officiation’ and being placed on probation ‘are’ district and separate term then the mere length of time of officiating cannot convert it into a deemed probation. On principle such an interpretation does not command itself to me and as would appear hereafter preceding is equally to the same effect Raj Kumar , A.S.I vs. State of Punjab and others 1980(3) S.L.R.779 2. Order dismissal by a subordinate authority. – The sole that has been argused in the petition is that the petitioner has been appointed a an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Patiala Range, Patiala, and not by the Superintendent of Police, Patiala, and therefore, he could be dismissed from service only by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police Patiala Range. The reply on behalf of the respondents is that under rule 13.4 of the Punjab Police Rule, 1934 an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police can be appointed by the Superintendent of Police provided the vacancy in which he is appointed id of less than eight months duration. Man Singh A.S.I. vs. State of Punjab and others, 1973(1) S.L.R.365 3. Promotion to the post of Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list “D”. With regard to officiating promotions, rule 13.9(2) directions that officiating promotion shall be made out of his list as far as possible in rotation so as to give each man a trial in the duties of the higher rank. An analysis rules shows that officiating promotion of Assistant Sub Inspector from list D id intended to be made, as far as possible, in rotation or turns so as to give each man a trail in the higher rank. We are of the view that officiating appointments envisaged in the rule appointments against temporary posts or against temporary vacancies in appointment posts, both of which mist, and a permanent regular vacancy and there id no exigency of police service required local arrangement, it is difficult to hold that the rule permit promotion of qualified men t o be made in officiating capacity for more than 2 years being the period mentioned in rule 13.18 during which their fitness and conformation must finally be determined. It is obvious that the promotion of a fit senior officer cannot be superseded and bye-ed by a junior, by keeping the senior in an offiaciating capacity indefinitely. Any other interpretation would destroy the object of the rules and would militate, particularly against rule 13.18. On a construction of rule 13.9(2), I it be left to the authorities concerned to discriminate equal persons and appointment some in officiating capacity and keep them in this capacity for several years while appoint others on probation on way to automatic confirmation after two years, the power will be unguided and unfettered and would be discriminatory and unconstitutional. The rule requires the higher officers to keep a strict watch on the conduct and efficiency of the officers and definite orders with regard to their fitness within a reasonable time, but it is a legal right of the public servant equally placed to be considered for promotion. If there is nothing against the officers, senior qualified officers must be promoted and confirmed and if there be anything against them which militated against their fitness there must be a definite decision according toe law holding unfit for promotion or confirmation every time their juniors are considered for promotion.

2. Constable with doubtful integrity is not entitled to be deputed for the course. The service record of Dhanna Singh, as produced before me, shows that his integrity has been doubted. A person, who has been considered to be of doubtful integrity by his superiors cannot claim that his record is not really based. So, the action of the respondents is not including his name in List ‘B’ and deciding to send him for Lower School Course is fully justified. However, the case of Bant Singh and Mghar Singh, petitioners, is different. In the service record of both the petitioners, there is no adverse entry apart from the fact that they had been censured. Censure according to the rules is not a major punishment. So, the petitioners could not be decided ission to List B and an opportunity for training in Lower School Course on the basis of the minor punishments of Censure.

Nos. 291 and 368 of 1984 before us were necessary parties to the Civil Writ Petitions Nos. 7124 and 6900 of 1975 and therefore, the observations made in those judgments would not, in any manner, affect adversely the appellants with the result that the appellants who had undergone the cadre course of the lower school course in the year 1976 were entitled to be considered for being brought on the ‘C’ list and to be promoted as Head Constable from the date they had been so promoted as on that date the provide respondents were yet undergoing the cadre course/lower school course and they, therefore, in , of rule were no even eligible to be considered for promotion to the post o Head Constable as the successful completion of the lower school course was sine qua non for promotion to the next higher post of Head Constable. Once the constables who were eligible for further promotion and stood promoted to the next higher post, the Constables who were their senior as Constable having also ed the lower school course after their so called junior had been promoted to the post of Head Constable, cannot be legally permitted to flaunt their seniority as Constables and seek promotion as Head Constable in point of time prior to those who although were junior to such constable but were alone eligible to be promoted on the date they were so promoted to the post of Head Constable. Amrik Skingh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324
4.
Constables though not eligible under the rules for undergoing cadre course/Lower school course sent for the same. The contention advance by Mr. Gupta in regard to the two constables is no doubt correct be then all the private respondent in of amended rule 13.7 had failed in the said test and they every not entitled to be itted to the course in question. They were directed to be itted by this Court. So it hardly lies in their mouth to challenge the eligibility even of these two constables for being sent to undergo the given course. The private respondents and these two constables both being in of rule 13.7 no entitled to undergo the course, but both having done so, then the one who completed the course earlier would, therefore, if the rules permit would continue to have the upper hand. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 198691) S.L.R. 324
5. Denial of a ission to the course not proper. Training course which began in October 1976 has already come to an end. Under the circumstances, the case of the petitioners will have to be considered for the new training course which may commence hereafter. But so far as further training courses are concerned, it is and itted position on that the matter will obviously be covered by the amended rule 13.7 which has come into operation by virtue of the notification dated 16.06.1976. Obviously the petitioners will have to undergo the test prescribed by amended rule 13.7 before getting ission to future course for training. We may, however, observe that all these petitioners have wrongly been denied ission to this course in the past. Therefore, this aspect of the matter must be borne in mind at the time of considering their future ission to the course in question. On behalf of the petitioners we were requested to adopt the same formula which was adopted by this Court in Miss Manju vs. State, reported in AIR 1972 H.P. 37. That was the case for ission to medical college and at the time when the writ petition was decided by this Court, rules for ission to the medical college were amended. The Court, however, gave directions to increase the number of seals to accommodate petitioner Manju who was found successful in the writ petition. We find that it is not possible for us to adop any course in this case because it may not be open to the state Government to ask the Government of Punjab to increase any seat at the Training College at Phillaur with a view to accommodate these petitioners. But we strongly recommend the case of these petitioners to the State Government and the concerned authorities, who shall see to it that unless there is any exceptional circumstance which would justify the refusal to it the petitioners to the required course in future in accordance with the amended rule No. 13-7, the petitioners shall be sent to the necessary training at Phillaur. It is recommended that, if possibly, the State Government may take any other necessary step including the step to increase the seats with a view to accommodate the petitioners in case there is nothing exceptionally adverse found against them at the relevant time. Shri Baldav Ram, Constable and another vs. The Superintendent of Police, Kangra and others, 1978(1) S.L.R. 774. 6. Denial to constables already on list ‘B’ to undergo training not proper. It is contended by the learned counsel of the petitioner that they were duly selected under Rule 13-7 and were brought on List B-1. Under the aforesaid rules they are entitled to be sent to the Lower School Course in April, 1980. He further argues that the rule has since been amended and the Government in pursuance of that rule has made a fresh selecting which is illegal and liable to be set aside. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondents has vehemently argued that the intention of incorporating the new rule
http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
266/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
was that the selection should be made afresh under the amended Rule. According to the counsel, the candidates already brought on List B-1 were thus not entitled to be sent to the course. Lal Sindh, Constable and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1980(3) S.L.R. 61. 7. Departmental test for being brought on List B-1 for promotion. Mere qualifying the test does not give them any right unless their names are brought on the list. Even the persons whose names are brought on the list ‘B-1’, cannot claim any right after the expiry of one year as this list is valid only for the year in which it is prepared. During the arguments, when it was brought to our notice that the persons who are already on List ‘B-1’ and have a right to be considered because of the 20% reserve are also not being considered for the promotion course for constables at the Police Training College, the position of the State Government was ascertained from the Assistant Advocate General appearing on behalf of the respondents, in this respect. He after consulting the respondents has given undertaking in the Court that all those persons whose names are already there on List ‘B-1’ including 20% reserve, will be considered by the State Government for promotion before any other fresh list is prepared within this year. On this undertaking by the State Counsel, this objection was no more available to the learned counsel for the petitioners have got any vested right as to maintain these petitions. The qualifying test in held in order to select persons for List ‘B-1’, under Rule 13-7, according to the number of seats allotted to each District. After that selection is over nothing remains and no body can claim any right subsequently on the basis of his bein qualified in the test. The purpose of the test, after the necessary selection is made, is over. Any person who qualifies in the test cannot claim as a matter of right that his name be brought on List ‘B-1’ subsequent to the test when selection has already been made. Babour Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1980(1) S.L.R. 279 8. Distinction between a lady constable and male constable Government were advised in drawing separate seniority of each cadre of all the women police officials. Jamail Singh and others vs. The State of Punjab, 1992(2) RSJ 114 9. First Aid Course. If photo copy of the certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association is correct, then petitioner had undergone First Aid Course during his service and no exception can be taken for not giving him credit for such a course. Ram Niwas vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) RSJ 726 10. Fixation of cut off date as January 1 of every year contrary to the Rules. The cut off date of 1st of January was also provided in the proviso added to rule 13-7 and in the standing order it was merely a clarification that is was also added in clauses (2) opening sentence “All Constables, who upto the 1st January that year”. This contention cannot be accepted. Proviso as it exists only debars punishment imposed prior to 1st of January to be taken into consideration. If a person was awarded major punishment, obviously he could not be sent for the training but from that no analogy can by drawn that for applying clauses (a), (b) and (c), the cut off date in all cases should be January 1st of the relevant year. Rules are framed by the State. A standing order which is in the form of instructions cannot over-ride the rule or provide contrary to the rule. Rule 13-7 as already stated above provides for eligibility of the persons at the time of selection and providing a cut off date of January 1st, in the standing order Annexure P-I, the operation of the rule stands curtailed which is not permitted under the law. The petitioner was eligible to be promoted to the rank of head Constable, being a Matriculate and having completed three years of service as on February 28, 1992 under Rule 13-7(2)(b) of the Punjab Police Rules as reproduced above. On that he was permitted to take the written test, which he ed. Subsequently he could not be deprived of being deputed to the Lower School Course. Rajwinder Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(4) S.L.R. 468 = 1992 (3) RSJ 101 11. Justificable reasons to ignore a Constable on list ‘B’ from sending him to training. The petitioner’s name was to be treated as if on List B, but as a reserve candidate within the 20% quota, the proviso on first impressions seems to be applicable. But then again, a Constable whose name is on the list and is not sent to the Police Training College can only be prevented from attending the Police Training College for justifiable reasons. And here, the justification pleaded, as has been held earlier, does not cut any ice. It is, therefore, in the essence of things hat the seat of the year 1978, which remained unfilled for the inaction of the respondents, must not be taken to have elapsed but to have remained in animated suspension, to be reactivate by judicial process as an answer to executive callousness. Accordingly, taking aid of the discretionary and viable powers with the Inspector-General of Police in the matter of fixation of the number of seats to be allotted to each district for the year, a direction need be issued to him to create for the petitioner a suitable seat in the Training Course of the first batch for the year 1982, but in fulfillment of the seat left vacant for the year 1978. Any other course would be defeating the spirit of the rule. The direction is nothing but a measure to cover up the left over seat which had otherwise rightly fallen to the share of the petitioner. Bhag Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 281 12. Lady constable allowed to participate the combined test for being deputed for Lower Training Course. The stand is that even though t tests for men and lady Constables were held in which the petitioner competed and stood first amongst the Lady Constables and secured a high position in the t merit, on the basis whereof she did earn a seat for deputation to the Lower School Course, yet in the absence of a formal and express order from the respondents allocating a seat for the Lady Constables, the entire exercise conducted by the respondents as well as the petitioner was futile and was an idle formality. Such a stand cannot be countenanced in the eye of law, as according to Rule 13-7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, as applicable to the State of Haryana, and amended from time to time, there is no such provision or requirement of ing a separate order about the allocation of seats. Apart from that, if that was a condition precedent in the minds of the respondents, then either such an order could have been issued before holding the test in January, 1987, or if there was some insurmountable difficulty in the ing of such an order, then the Lady Constables should not have been permitted to participate. Now, after the petitioner ahs participated in the tests and has secured a meritorious position, it does not lie in the mouth of the respondents to deny to her, a well-earned right for undergoing the Training Course. Moreover, if Article 15(3) of the Constitution permits the State to make any special provision for the women and children, that does not mean that such a provision has to be made to their detriment. Rather, the intention is to provide better facilities for their benefit and betterment in their career. The impugned action of the respondents is wholly arbitrary. Prem Devi (Smt.) vs. The Director General of Police, Haryana and others, 1988(1) S.L.R. 468 13. Lower School Course. Essential for Constable to sit and in the test held under rule 13-7 of the Punjab Police Rules. Kamal Kishore vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) RSJ 524 14. Police Training Course – Eligibility of. The selection to be made in accordance with Rule 19-14 of the Rules succeed the bringing of the constables on list ‘B’ and does not precede it. Rule 13-7 of the Rule itself envisages the selection to be made for this list as the vacancies for ission to the promotion course occur at the Police Training School and it is that selection which has to be made in accordance with Rule 19-14 of the Rule. Since the petitioner was not placed on lit ‘B’ or as is the stand of the respondents, was not so approved by respondent No. 2 Deputy Inspector General of the Range on merits for being so placed on List ‘B’ he cannot have any possible grouse or locus stand to challenge the non-holding of test or non-compliance of the procedure laid down in rule 19-14 of the Rules. It is only the constable on list ‘B’ who can assail such a non-compliance of the latter Rule. The rest of the assertions of the petitioner that some of the constables were withdrawn or re-itted to this list ‘B’ at the time of their sending to the Police Training Court from amongst the respondents No. 4 to 13, have also to be negatived for the same very reason, i.e. he has no locus stand to assail their further selection or non-selection for being sent to the said Course. The pre-requisite for a constable being asked to take a test under Rule 19-14 of the Rules or the compliance of the other formalities of the Rules is that the constable should be on list ‘B’ framed under Rule 13-7, Raj Kumar, Constable vs. State of Haryana and ors., 1980(1) S.L.R. 599 15. Power of I.G.P. to frame rules and order. The first part predominantly takes care for the organization, classification and distribution of the police-force and other allied matters relative thereto regarding which the I.G.P. may from time to time, subject to the approval of the State Government, frame such orders and rules as he shall deem expedient. Yet in the second part, the I.G.P. is authorised to frame all such other orders and rule relative to the police force as he shall, from time to time, deem expedient for preventing abuse or neglect of duties and for rendering such force efficient in the discharge of its duties. In the second part, seemingly, the rules and orders contemplated are not subject to the approval of the State Government, The reason is obvious. In the second part, the orders and rules to be framed by the I.G.P. are preventive in nature that whenever it occurs to him he should frame rules or orders necessary for preventing abuse or neglect of duty and on the other hand for the purpose of rendering the police force efficient in the discharge of its duties. Dalbir Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329 16. Power to constitute the Departmental Promotion Committee. Rule making authority has the power to nominate the authorities who will exercise powers under those rules. The State Government acts through human agencies and the Inspector General of Police is the Head of the Police Department in the State. The power to constitute the Departmental Promotion Committee and prescribing the syllabi for the various tests etc., had to be given to some responsible officer and the vesting of that power in the Inspector General of Police is in accordance with the constitution of the police force for the district. Under Section 2 of the Police Act, 1861, the whole State of Punjab form one police district and the entire police establishment under a State Government is deemed to be one police force, the istration of which is vested in the Inspector General of Police under Section 4 of the said Act. Ram Labhaya, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and others vs. The State of Punjab, through the Secretary for Home Affairs, Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 775. 17. Prescription of age limit at 30 years Now coming to the next contention of the learned counsel for the appellants regarding fixation of age limit in rule 13-7(2), I do not find any merit in it. I agree with the findings of the learned Single Judge that rule 13-7(2) is unreasonable and ultra-vires Articles 16 of the constitution. The age of superannuation of constables is 58 years in Punjab and it seems highly unreasonable and arbitrary that the constables after having attained 30 years of age are debarred from consideration for further promotion for a period of 28 years. Hence this provision http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
267/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
regarding age limit is arbitrary as no reason therefor has been indicated in the rules. Rather this fixation of age limit debarring the constables for further promotion after they become 30 years of age, would lead to frustration and rusting constables who have crossed 30 years of age, would have no incentive to hard work and honesty because they know that their future career is blocked as they cannot be promoted even to the next rank of Head Constables, what to say of consideration for higher promotion. Thus rule 13-7(2) has no relation with the object to the be achieved thereby and goes contrary to Article 16 of the Constitution. The only object to be achieved in Police Force is honesty, hard work and efficiency, I fail to understand how this object can be achieved by blocking the future career of the constables at the age of 30 years when they have still 28 years of service to go with no incentive. This bar or restriction on the age of unintelligible as no object will be achieved by framing these rules. The bar has been placed on a constable at such an early stage of his that it has denied him the chance of any promotion during the last 28 years of his service career. This at any rate has to nexus with the object to be achieved thereby. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others vs. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 116 18. Prescription of age on attaining which Constables are debarred from being considered for selection to Promotion Course. In Clauses (a), (b) and (c) of rule 13-7(2), the qualifications of Constables, who will be eligible to have their names entered in list ‘B’, are given, if they ae not above thirty years of age on the first day of July in the year in which the selection is made. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that this provision regarding age limit given in rule 13-7(2) is unconstitutional and, therefore, it should be struck down. In the State of Punjab, the age of superannuation of a police officer/official is 58 years and to debar a constable from consideration for further promotion for a period of 28 years seems to be unreasonable and an infringement of his fundamental right under Article 16 of the Constitution of India. The restriction of age cannot be provided as it has no nexus to the object to be achieved i.e. promotion of Constables to the post of Head Constable. This provision regarding age is arbitrary as no reason has been shown for its fixation. It violates the rights of the Constables under Article 16 of the Constitution of India and is liable to be struck down. I, therefore, hold that the prescription of the age of 30 years for Constables on attaining which they are debarred under Rule 13-7(2) from being considered for selection to the Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College, Phillaur is unconstitutional and is struck down. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others vs. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others, 1974(2) S.L.R. 15 19. Promotion - - Denial of - - Discrimination. The petitioners having got distinction in the Lower School Course held in the month of April, 1982 would not be hit by the order of cancellation of these instructions as such like instructions are prospective in operation only, especially when the petitioners had acquired a right to be considered for accelerated promotions before the issuance of such instructions. Moreover, the retrospective application of these instruction would result in discrimination between the of the police force similarly situated as ittedly under the Rule 1944 instructions some constables were given accelerated promotion as head constable. Under these circumstances the act of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for accelerated promotion has not only resulted in discrimination but arbitrariness and, thus, hit by the mandate enshrine in Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. For the foregoing reasons this writ petition succeeds. The respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioners for accelerated promotion to the post of head constable with effect from the date they had cleared the Lower School Course with distinction under the 1944 instructions. Rattan Lal, Constable vs. State of Haryana and ors., 1990(3) S.L.R. 92 = 1992(2) RSJ 740 20. Promotion - - Departmental Promotion Committee. Rule 13-7 envisaged appointment of a promotion committee by Inspector General of Police, the instructions envisaged appointment of Promotion Committee by D.I.G. Police and therefore, the selection held by the promotion committee could not be considered strictly to be in accordance with Rule 13-7. Even if for the sake of argument it is assumed that the promotion committee in the present case had been appointed by D.I.G. and not by the Inspector General of Police, then that by itself would no render the selection as not being in accordance with the said rule. The material requirement of the said rule is (i) that the personnel of promotion committee should be of high rank; (ii) that they had judged the merit of each constable in accordance with the test envisaged in rule 13-7. Whether the high ranking promotion Committee was appointed by D.I.G. or I.G. is not of the essence of the rule. In the present case the promotion committee envisaged by the instructions comprised of Superintendent of Police of the concerned District as its President and two Gazetted Officers nominated by the D.I.G. of the Range. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324 21. Provision for competing again if not sent for ission to promotion course. It is evident from the bare reading of rule 13-7(1) that list ‘B’ in Form 13-7 shall be maintained by each Superintendent of Police; that it will include the names of all Constables selected for ission to the Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College; that the selection shall be made in the month of January each year; that it will be limited to the number of seats allotted to the districts for the year with a twenty per cent reserve and that the names in the list are to be entered in order of merit which is to be determined by the Departmental carried forward for the next year. The list is to be prepared every year in the month of January on the basis of merit as aforesaid. Otherwise, if the list was to be carry forward, then the language of rule 13-7(1) would have been entirely different. In that event there would have been indication in the rule that the list would be carried to the next year, that the new eligible constable would be placed at the bottom of the list and that the person at the top would be sent first to the Police raining College. But it does not seem to be the intention of rule 13-7(1) and the proviso to rule 137(2) has only made further clarification. The proviso only says that if any Constable, whose name has been brought on the list, is not sent to the Police Training College in the year, he will be required to compete again with the new candidates, if be is still eligible for ission to the said list under the rules. Secondly the proviso does not in any way lead to the impression that the names of the petitioner-respondents were impliedly removed from list ‘B’ by way of punishment. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others s. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 116 22. Proviso to Rule 13-7(2). Inconsistent with the provisions of Rule 13-7(1) and 13-8-A. Every Constable, whose name is on list ‘B’, has the right to be sent for Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College, Phillaur in order of his seniority determined in accordance with rule 13-7(1). The impugned order impliedly removed the names of the petitioners from List ‘B’ because they are required to appear again in the test for bringing their names on that list. The petitioners, therefore, cannot be asked again to appear in the test for bringing their names on list ‘B’, because they were not sent for training in the year 1973, in which their names were brought on the list. The proviso to Rule 13-7(2) is inconsistent with the provisions of Rule 13-7(1) and Rule 13-8-A. The provisions of this proviso to Rule 13-7(2) that if any Constable, whose name has been brought on the list, is not sent to the Police Training College in that year, he will be required to complete again with the new candidates, if he is still eligible for ission to the said list under the rules are arbitrary as no reasons are given for making this provision. This proviso is, therefore, ultra-vires of Article 16 of the Constitution as it puts a hurdle in the way of the Constables, whose names have been validly and legally brought on the list ‘B’, to acquire the necessary qualifications by ing the promotion course in the Police Training College, Phillaur, which alone will make them eligible for the next promotion as Head Constable, and it is struck down. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others vs. Ths Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others, 1974(2) S.L.R. 15 23. Relaxation / Abolition of Rule 13-21 – Rule 13-7 is not that mandatory and cannot remain mandatory due to the power of relaxation available in rule 13-21, as also due to the workability of rule 13-20, the conclusion is inescapable that by virtue of order, Annexure P-2, the I.G.P. had the power to relax rule 13-7 to the extent of abolishing the parade test altogether for the year 1982 with respect to the class and category of persons competing for the test to be held in January, 1982. Thus, the question ed at the very outset is answered in the affirmative holding that the power of relaxation under rule 13-21 vested in the I.G.P. goes to the extent of abolishing a particular rule virtually, but for reasons to be recorded in writing and in respect of any class or category of persons. And the exercise of this power is not in the nature of amendment to the Rules, but as a measure to serve the exigencies of service so as to carry out the purposes o the Act, it is not a fraud on the Rules either. Balbir Singh, Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and other, 1983(1) S.L.R. 109 24. Relaxation of rules – Power vested in I.G.Police. Under Rule 13-21, it is only the Inspector General of Police who has the power to relax any of the provisions of Chapter XIII with respect to any of class or category of persons but contrary to the rule in the present case, according to the return filed on behalf of the respondents themselves, this relaxation has been made not by the Inspector-General of Police, but by the State Government. Of course, the said rule authorities the Inspector-General of Police, Punjab, to relax the Rules, if in his opinion it is necessary or expedient so to do, but in order to satisfy ourselves, we sent for the original file in which approval of the State Government was sought by the Inspector-General of Police. After going through the original file, we find that the proposal was made by the Inspector-General of Police for holding a special test of constables for List “B-1” for deputing them to undergo Lower School Course at Police Training College at Phillaur with a view to have additional qualified constables available for promotion for the newly created posts of Head Constables. The sanction regarding grant of relaxation of Rule 13-7 was only sought by him because the posts were sanctioned on of the recommendations of the Punjab Pay Commission by the State Government and the State Government has only stated that the necessary sanction is granted. In our opinion, for all intents and purpose, the requirement of Rule 13-21, which reads, “where the Inspector General of Police is of the opinion that is necessary or expedient so to do, he may, by order for reasons to be recorded in writing relax any of the provisions of this Chapter with respect of any class or category of persons” has been compiled with. The relaxation has been made by the Inspector-General of Police, though the same has also been sanctioned by the State Government. Mere grant of sanction by the State Government on the proposal initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, will not in any way violative Rule 13-21. Babour Sindh and other vs. State of Punjab and other, 19u8-0(1) S.L.R. 279. 25. Reservation can only be made if otherwise eligible to be considered for promotion. According to this proviso five percent of such promotions can be made from amongst the of the Police Force who achieve outstanding distinction in sports field at all India level or international level if they are otherwise eligible for promotion but for seniority. It is, therefore, evident that a person who has achieved an outstanding http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
268/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
distinction can be selected for promotion only if he is otherwise eligible. The eligibility of the member of the Police Force is determined by the Departmental Promotion Committee according to the provisions of rules 13-7 and 13-20. It is only if he is found eligible that he can be selected against a reserved seat even though he may be much junior to the other persons whose names were also brought on the selection list by the Departmental Promotion Committee. The benefit which is intended to be conferred on a member of the Police Force having outstanding distinction in sports appears to be that he is allowed to supersede in persons senior to him in the service but all instructions are prospective in operation only, especially when the petitioners had acquired a right to be considered for accelerated promotions before the issuance for such instructions. Moreover, the retrospective application of these instructions would result in discrimination between the of the police force similarly situated as ittedly under the Rule 1944 instructions some constables were given accelerated promotion as head constable. Under these circumstances the act o the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioners for accelerated promotion has not only resulted in discrimination but arbitrariness and, thus hit by the mandate enshrined in Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution that the rule was framed under S.46 of the Act) that the rules has been framed for giving effect to the provisions of the Act. This has to be seen in the backdrop of S.12 which has been noticed a while ago providing that to restore efficiency in the discharge of the duties of the police-force, is the function of the I.G.P. And if in the manner of selection for promotional course, he considers it necessary or expedient to relax any provision of Chapter XIII with respect to any class or category of persons he can do so for the purposes of the Act but by order and for reasons to be recorded in writing. In this context, it may for the sake of argument be taken that all the rules starting from 13.1 ending by 13.20 are mandatory in nature but by providing rule 13.21 the mandatoriness of the rules, to my mind, has been done away with by the grant of power of relaxation. Thus, as it seems to me, the State Government by framing rule 13.21 did not as a delegate further delegate its power to the I.G.P. for amendment of the rules, but rather facilities, by simultaneously conferring power under rule 13.20, the carrying out of the purposes of Chap. III of the Rules and of the Act. For it cannot be forgotten that the I.G.P. and the State Government both are delegates under the Act within their respective spheres and for smooth functioning are expected to co-ordinate and conform to the objectives of the Act sough to be achieved. Dalbir Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329. 26. Reservation for Scheduled Castes/Tribes/Lower School Course – We have reexamined the matter in the light of the various judgments and rules and find that rule 13.7 is substantially different in its applicability and essence for rules 13.9 and 13.10. It is to be borne in mind that as per the practice in the Department, no inter seniority of Constables is maintained and all Constables who qualify in of the rule and the Standing Order are entitled to be put on List ‘B’ for being sent to the Lower School Course. It is after ing the Lower School Course that a seniority list of Constables is framed under rule 13.8, and are put in List ‘C’ where in addition to other factors, the merit obtained in the course is to be kept in view. It is , therefore, apparent that the prescription of rest at the stage of the preparation of List ‘B’ in of Rule 13.7 is essentially a step in the process of promotion of Constables to Head Constables. That being the situation, it would be mandatory on the authorities to make the reservation as provided by Annexure R-1 at the stage of selecting candidates for being put on List ‘B’. The adequate number of reserved category candidates would not be reflected in List ‘C’ which concededly does constitute a link in the process of promotion. We are, therefore, of the opinion that Sardul Singh’s case (supra) is distinguishable on facts and does not help the case of the petitioners. The Division Bench in Ram Kumar’s case (supra) and the learned single Judge in CWP No. 5009 of 1985 (Constable Ravinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others) have not gone into the aspect of the matter as we have seen it, and have substantially relied on the observations made in Sardul Singh’s case. Sarbjit Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1991(5) S.L.R. 279 = 1991(2) RSJ 665. 27. Reservation of posts for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes – The Lower School Course is a promotion course for Constables yet subrule (2) of rule 13.8 lays down in no uncertain that promotion to the post of a Head Constable shall be made in accordance with the principles described in sub-rules (1) and (2) of rule 13.1. This sub-rule further provides that selection grade. Constables who have not ed the Lower School Course at the Police Training School but are otherwise considered suitable may with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of Police by promoted to the post of Head Constables though to the extent of 10 per cent of the vacancies only. Thus this part of the sub-rule clearly indicates that the qualification of having undergone a training may even be completely waived for promotion to the post of a Head Constable in the case of selection grade Constables. What sort of process of promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made by selection tampered by seniority efficiency and specific qualifications whether in the nature of training course ed or practical experience shall be carefully considered in each case. Sub-rule (1) of this rule further lays down that when qualifications of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. A bare reading of this sub-rule makes it manifestly clear that to undergo a training course is only one of the qualifications which makes a Constable eligible for being considered for promotion to the next higher post of Head Constable. It is also clear from the phraseology of instructions P.1 that these envisage reservation to the post and not to eligibility or the training course. Ram Kumar and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(1) S.L.R. 435. 28. Rules also applicable to Armed constabulary – Even itting for the sake of argument that identification of higher categories of posts in the Armed Police with the corresponding posts in the District Police may require bit of head scratching, but there cannot be any dispute abut the fact that designation of the lowest rank in the Armed Police and the District Police is the same i.e. a constable constitutes the lowest rank in the two wings of the police and the first course that a constable is required to undergo is the lower school training course. Therefore, there cannot be any doubt that a constable of the Armed Police under the Police Rules which have already been held applicable to this wing of the police has to be sent to the lower training course in accordance with the relevant rule and that rule 13.7 of the Police Rules and therefore, one has to see whether the selection had been substantially in accordance with the said rule. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324. 29. Scope – not mandatory – Rule 13.7 has not amended, altered or obliterated from the Statute Book, but its workability has been relaxed inasmuch as the parade test for the year 1982 has totally been done away with, for the class of Constables who would be selected for the Promotion Course. The suggested …. infraction of rule 13.7 with regard thereto cannot, to my mind, affect the validity of the selection made for the Promotion Course, for both the reasons, that neither the rule 13.7 is mandatory in that sense nor has it remained mandatory by relaxation of it s provisions under the impugned orders. Balbir Singh, Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1983(1) S.L.R. 109. 30. Second test during the currency of the year in which earlier test for selection for promotion – The mere use of the words “will be made in the month of January” does not mean that no second test can be held in any other month during the year. The rule is not mandatory to that extent. Moreover, there can be exigencies of Police service where the State Government may require more Police force in a particular year. In the present case, this necessity has arisen because the State Government had sanctioned 560 new posts of Head Constables in the Punjab State on the of the acceptance of Punjab Pay Commission’s recommendations. At the most, it may be argued that it may be mandatory to this extent that selection will be made in the month of January, each year, but it cannot be extended further that another selection by another examination cannot be made subsequent thereto. In this prevent case, that requirement of the rule had already been compiled with. In the nature of things and keeping in view that the exigencies of Police service, it is obvious that it cannot be held that the State Government is debarred to hold more than one test for selection in the same year. Babour Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1980(1) S.L.R. 279. 31.
Selection for being sent to Lower School Course cannot be equated with promotion – The process of selection for being sent to Lower School Course could not be equated to the consideration for promotion. Reservation for Scheduled Castes for deputing them to Lower School Course was not permissible and the constables be sent to Lower School Course on the basis of merit. In the return it has been stated that against the said judgment of this Court, a special leave petition is pending in the Supreme Court, in which the operation of the judgment of the High Court has been stayed. In view of the aforesaid judgment of this Court, on the last date of hearing the learned counsel for the State wanted time to get instructions from the Department as to whether the petitioner could be sent for the Course which has commenced in April, 1988. However, learned counsel for the State submitted that as per the instructions the petitioners could not be sent for the present Course as the Lower School Course had already commenced.

32.
Suspension not a bar to depute for training. Attending the Course under Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules is a step towards promotion. Actual promotion is made subsequently. There is no restriction contained in Rule 13.7 that a person who has been placed under suspension can be kept back. It is only after infliction of the major punishment that it would operate as a bar for ission to or retention in lists A.B and C, as provided under the Punjab Police Rules, which his maintained for promotional purposes. The stage will only come when any major punishment is imposed on a Police Officer and not at the stage of suspension. Suspension per se is not punishment and it cannot have any effect on the rights of the constables to attend the Lower School Cousre, as stated above. For the reasons recorded above, this writ petition is allowed with the direction to the respondents to send the petitioner forthwith to attend the Course which is started in October, 1991. It is left to the authorities to appropriate orders on the question of promotion at the relevant stage, keeping in view the observations aforesaid and the rules on the subject.

Test parade prescribed under Rule 13.7 for selection. It was also pointed out that all constables, in any case, under the rules are required to once a year to the lines where they have to undertake drill and parade at a part of the normal unkeep, and for the selection of the present

The Police Rules, 1934 promotional course, such repetition is not necessary. Having regard to the view that I am about to take, the arguments put forth by the learned counsel are sound. Undisputably, the police rules provide that a recruit before he becomes a Constable has to undertake a training for parade and thus it goes without saying that a Constable is well-equipped in his drills. And for the selection of a promotional course, if his drilling skill is made to recede in the background but his knowledge of law is brought to the forefront, such step, to my mind, promotes efficiency in the police-force whose primary function is not only to maintain law and order in the State but also to prevent commission and detection of crime.
As analysed above, rule 13.7 has not been amended, altered obliterated from the Statute Book, but its workability has been relaxed inasmuch as the parade test for the year 1992 has totally been done away with, for the class of Constables who would be selected for the Promotional Course. The suggested infraction of rule 13.7 with regard thereof cannot, to my mind, affect the validity of the selection made for the Promotion Course, for both the reasons, that neither the rule 13.7 is mandatory in that sense nor has it remained mandatory by relaxation of its provisions under the impugned orders. Dalbir Singh and other vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329. 34. Training—Petitioner selected and sent for promotion course—Recalled back after 1-1/2 months training. Petitioner were selected by the Deputy Inspector General of Police for promotion course of Head Constable. They ed the course and attended the same for 1-1/2 months when they were recalld by order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. The order of recall was not a speaking order and no reasons were given when they had been recalled. It was stated in the affidavit that petitioners had failed to qualify the law parade test and the Inspector General of Police had refused to relax the Rule 13.21 of Punjab Police Rules. The order recalling the petitioners from promotion course was illegal, ultra vires and is liable to be quashad. No condition was attached that selection of the petitioners was subject to the relaxation of rules grantd by the Inspector General of Police. Rule 13.9 of Punjab Police Rules in so far it gave the powers of selection for ision to the promtoion course for Head Constables was ultra vires Article 16 of the Consitition of India. Udham Singh and anr. Vs. The Inspector-General of Police and ors. 1973(1) S.L.R. 1048 34.
Upper age limit of 30 years. It is to be borne in mind that constables enter the police force between the ages of 18 and 27 and under the rule, broadly speaking, they must be selected for promotio, before they attain of 30 or not at all. It is true that the prescription of the maximum age of 30 for selection for promotion is bound so result in hardship to a considerable number of constables, who, is not selected, are condemned to stagnation in service for a long period of 28 years. The may necessarily lead to frustration among those who fail to get selected for promotion. On the other hand, the very prescription of the maximum age of 30 for selection for promotion of a constable indicates that the istrative agency responsible for making the rules expects from constables aspiring promotion a display of their talent and their ability from the very commencement of their career. Apparently, the istrative agency is of the view that only those should be selected for promotion that exhibit from the very beginning such qualities as are considered necessary for promotion to higher posts in the police service. That, as already explained appears to be the scheme of the rules. It is not any one is denied an opportunity of being considered for promotion. Since ordinarily the maximum age for entry into service is 27, every constable has at least one chance of making the grade in order that he may be selected for promotion, the number of chances depending on his age on enlistment as a constable. A person who enlists as a constable cannot complain that those who have enlisted young have a large number of chances. No one has a fundamental right to be promoted; one has only a right to be considered for promotion. No one has a fundamental right to have a minimum number of so many chances to be considered for promotion.

1.
Bringing of name on list C-1 for promotion to the post of Head Constables. Rule 13.8(2) and instructions Annexure P2 clearly stipulate that entry in list ‘C-1’ has necessarily to be from the date of qualifying the Lower School Course and the order of merit. It is not disputed that the petitioners ed the lower School Course on the same date as respondents No. 4 to 8 and 10. The two petitioners were ittedly higher in merit than the

said respondents. If that he so then the action of the respondents was totally unjustified to bring the names of petitioners on list ‘C-1’ with effect from February 1, 1976 instead of September 29, 1975 or atleast October 1, 1975. Instead of correcting the apparent mistake, the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Hissar fell in procedural and technical wrangles. Nothing has been brought to my notice which may specify any limitation for correcting an itted clerical mistake and if that be so even a technical objection raised against the claim of petitioners has necessarily to be rejected. Rajinder Singh and another vs. State of Haryna and others, 1991(3) S.L.R. 210=199 (1) 761 2.
D.P.C ignored petitioner for promotion for having short tenure of service. It is the case of the respondents that the Exemptee quota of promotion is meant only for those constables who are otherwise suitable for promotion as Head Constables but could not, for one reason or the other, qualify the power school course, and that promotion against the Exempted quota is given not merely on the basis of seniority, but the suitability for the official to hold the post of Head Constable has also to be adjudged. It is stated that the petitioners was not considered suitable for the said promotion against the Exempted in view of his very short tenure of service in the Police Department since he had worked for less than a year as a regular police constable after ing out from the Recruits Training Center in the session ending March, 1987. It is further stated that the normal channel of promotion to the cadre of Head Constables is from amongst Police Constables who have ed the Lower School Course for which selection are made on the basis of a test held every year and that the petitioners had not even attempted to compete in the said test though he had become eligible to do so in 1988.

3.
Determination of seniority. The seniority of the Head Constable has to be determined by the Inspector General of Police on State-wise basis and not by the Deputy Inspector General of Police. On Range wise basis. I do not find any merit in this contention as under Rules 13.8 and 13.9 of the Rules, seniority of Head Constables has to be determined by the Deputy Inspector General of Police according to the Range and not on State-wise basis. This matter, therefore, stands settled and has assumed finality and there is no warrant for re-opening the same. Still, if confirmation of any Head Constable has been made or benefit of seniority of promotion has been granted to any Head Constable in violation of the aforesaid Rules and the right of senior persons have been adversely affected, it is the duty of the respondent authorities to look in to the matter and redress the genuine grievance of the senior Head Constables promptly. Laxmi narain and others vs. state of haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R 119.
4.
Head Constables junior to the petitioners but on deputation with police Training College sent for the Intermediate School Course. We find that grave injustice ins done by the respondents in sending the deputationists to attend the Course, Rule 13.8 of the Punjab Police Rules as applicable to Haryana contemplates that confirmed Head Constables in order of seniority would be sent to attend Course, may be while on deputation. The right of the petitioners is jeopardised and they have genuine grouse. What will happen afterwards need not be taken in to consideration. Suffice it to say that rule 13.8 stood violated as far as the right of the petitioners is concerned Surinder Singh and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992 (1) S.L.R. 621=1992 (1) RSJ 733.

Intermediate School Course, Respondents remain duty bound to depute every Head Constable on List ‘C’ to undergo the Intermediate School Course strictly in the order of his seniority determined in accordance with Rule 13.8. Suresh Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 1991 (3) RSK 490. The seniority of the Head Constables has to be determined by the Inspector General of Police on State-wise basis and not by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, on Range-wise basis. I do not find any merit in this contention as under Rules 13.8 and 13.9 of the Rules, seniority of Head Constables has to be determined by the Deputy Inspector General of Police accordant to the Range and not on State- wise basis. This matter, therefore, stands settled and has assumed finality and there is no been made or benefit of seniority or promotion has been granted to any Head Constable in violation of the aforesaid Rules and the right of senior persons have been adversely affected, it is the duty of the respondent authorities to look in to the matter and redress the genuine grievances of the senior Head Constables promptly.

List made in accordance with Rule 13.8. once a list has been made in accordance with rule 13.8 names therefrom can be removed only under the provisions of rule 13.8-A rule 13.13. Under the former rule the infliction of any major punishment shall be a bar to the retention of the name of a person or the promotion list and the Superintend of Police is bound to remove that name unless for special reasons to be recorded by him the name is retained but that also subject to confirmation by Inspector-General of Police is to supervise the working of the promotion list and he has the authority to remove Any name which he considers has been improperly itted on that list. The petitioner’s case is that he was brought on the promotion list early in 1965 and his name was illegally removed form that list by the second respondent. Shri P.C. Wadhwa has, on the other hand, stated in his return that the petitioner’s name was brought on list II and he its that he removed his name form that list. The question that arises is whether the petitioner’s names was every on list ‘C’ as contemplated by rule 13.8 and if so could to be removed by the second respondent when ittedly neither were any directions of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police under rule 13.13 issued to that effect nor did the contingency contemplated by rule 13.8-A ever come in to existence. On a reading of rule 13.8 (1) it is clear that only the names of those constables who have ed the Lower School Course at Phillaur and are considered eligible for promotion as Head Constables cab be brought on promotion list ‘C’ person who have not ed this course cannot be brought on promotion list ‘C’ under sub-rule (2) of rule 13.8 however, in the case of selection grade constables who have not ed the Lower Course at the Police Training School but are otherwise considered suitable may with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of Police be promoted as Head Constables up to maximum of ten percent of the vacancies in the posts of Head-Constables. Thus those constables who have not ed the Lower School Course may be promoted as Head Constables in a quota fixed form them without being brought on list ‘C’ . A reading of sub-rule(1) of course cannot be brought on list ‘C’. it follows, therefore, that if the vacancies in the posts of Head-Constables available then in the ten percent quota constables who have not ed the Lower School Course may be promoted but that does not mean that they are promoted as from promotion list ‘C’. They are promoted in their quota after selection form those who are considered suitable. For this purpose it would necessarily require that at the time when promotions are made selection grade constables who are suitable though may not have ed the Lower Scholl Course would be considered by the Superintendent of Police and if the selection mad y him is approved by the Deputy Inspector General of Police those person would be promoted to the post of Head Constables. Accordingly, the contention of the petitioner that he was brought on promotion list ‘C’ cannot be accepted as under the rules the could not be brought on that list and the return filed by Shri P.C. Wadhwa clearly states that he was brought on list C-II Shri Megah Singh, Constables vs. State of Punjab and others, 1971 (2) S.L.R 823.

Lower School Course. If any person , who has secured the same or lesser marks as those secured by the petitioner has been deputed for the lower school course, the petitioner shall be deputed forthwith. Jagmal singh vs. the state of Haryana and others, 1992 (1) SRJ 735. Rule13.8. (2) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1952, and instruction s Annexure P2 clearly stipulate that entry in list ‘C1’ has necessary to be from the date of qualifying on Lower School Course and the order of merit. Rajender Singh vs. State of Haryana 1991 (3) RSJ 345

Not sent because of stoppage of increment for one year. The main point which needs to be considered is whether the applicant could be debarred form being sent to the Intermediate Course which commenced form 1.4.1983. The respondent No.2. has pertinently mentioned that the applicant could not have been sent for this course, as Middle was one of the essential qualification and the applicant furnished middle certificate only May, 1983, this apart, it will be readily seen that in accordance with the view taken by the Full Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and others state above, the applicant could at best become entitled to be sponsored for this course, not withstanding the fact that a departmental inquiry was pending against him. However, as pointed out by the learned Addl. Advocate General, the ing of the Intermediate School Course was only one of the essential qualification under Rule 13.9. of the Police Rules of being promoted to the next higher rank and his suitability form the point of view of efficiency and integrity had to separately be determined before he could be brought on List ‘D’ which is drawn out for promotion to the next higher rank. In other words, there is considerable force in his argument that even if it is presumed that the applicant should have been sent for the Intermediate School Course on an earlier occasion, this would be of no gavial to the applicant as there could be no automatic enlistment in list ‘D’ without further consideration of his case form the stand-point of efficiency and honestly in of Rule 13.9 of the Police Rules. Apart form the fact that he was otherwise intelligible, (as he submitted his middle certificate in May, 1983), the stoppage of increment for one year temporarily would have, in all likelihood come in his way while considering his case for promotion under Rule 13.9 of the Police Rules. Further more, as ing of the Intermediate School Course in one of the essential qualifications for being considered for promotion to the next higher rank which he actually ed sometime in 1987, it would be difficult to accept the promotion to the next higher rank as from 1983 and should be consequentially given notional seniority as from 1983, over his juniors who were sent for this course. Amar Singh vs. State of H.P and others, 1989 (7) S.L.R. 701.

Reservation for Scheduled Castes/Lower School Course. In Ram Kumar’s case (supra) the Division Bench observed that by no stretch of imagination the process of selection for being sent to the Lower School Course in of rule 13.7 can possibly be held or equated to the consideration for promotion envisaged by rule13.8. The above observation in Ram Kumar’s case and Sardul Singh Case fully Cover controversy before me. There is , therefore, no escape from the conclusion that places at No,. 1,611 and so on could not be reserved for the scheduled castes

Reversion form the post of Head-Constable. With regard to the reversion of the petitioner form the post of Head-Constable so that the constable, in my opinion, the petitioner can have no ground for grievance. His promotion was in an officiating capacity and specifically on the term that he would be reverted to his substantive rank when Lower School Course qualified constables were available. According to the return of Shri Wadhwa, the reversion of the petitioner was made in normal istrative manner on 7.3. 1996 as three duly qualified constable were expected back form the police Training School.

12.
Reversion form the post of Head Constable to that of Constable. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was promoted as Head Constable and he continued to hold the same for a pretty long time. He must earned increments during this period. The law is well settled that if any order detriment to the interest of a Govt.employee is ed, the concerned employee has a right to know the circumstance/background, which led to the ing of the impugned order. ittedly, in the instant case, no opportunity of being heard, was afforded to the petitioner. No reason in the impugned order for reverting the petitioner has been recorded. As such, the impugned order of reversion being against equity and violative of principles of natural justice is liable to be quashed.

Right for being deputed for the Intermediate School Course. In the first instance, the Deputy Inspector General of Police of the Range Concerned shall depute the confirmed Head Constables for the Course according to the seniority list of the Range, and after the list of confirmed Head Constables is exhausted. Then the Head Constables on probation, and last of all the of officiating Head Constables. The Head Constables so qualifying the Intermediate School Course, shall be entitled to all the consequential benefits of seniority and promotion to higher rank arising therefrom, in accordance with Rules 13.8 and 13.9 of the aforesaid Rules.

Ten per cent vacancies of Head Constables to be filled up form amongst those Selection Grade Constables who had not ed the Lower School Course. The petitioner was illegal ignored for the lower school course before he became overage as well as thereafter and that his name was not considered for List C-II because he was on deputation. These allegation are denied by Respondent. No. 2 in the reply. In para 5 of the reply it is averred that the petitioner was considered for lower school course, but he was not selected, in para 6 it is averred that it is incorrect that the petitioner was not constables are considered for List C-II is a concession and cannot be claimed as of right. Only those constables are considered for List C-II who have become overage for ing the lower school course, but come to conspicuous notice for good work indicating fitness for further promotion as Head Constables and are recommended by officers under whom they serve, as person suitable for promotion. Thus it cannot be considered as a concession. It is a right of such selection grade constables who have not ed the Lower School Course to be brought on List C-II. However, it is open to the authorities not to bring on Lit C-II if , in their opinion, a particular selection grade constable is not found fit. But at least every selection grade constable who has not ed the lower school course is to be considered for bringing his name on List C-II Raghubir Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1982 (2) S.L.R. 627.

Training –Petitioner ignored. The petitioner and respondent No. 5 were deputed for Lower School Course in Batch No.5 in which they attained 24th and 33rd positions respectively. The petitioner was brought on C.I List prior ot respondents 6 and 7 and was higher in merit in Batch No. 5 in the Lower School Course. Official Respondents 5 to 7 to Intermediate Course in preference to the petitioner. ittedly, the petitioners in both the writ petitions are senior to respondent No. 7 Samundar Singh, who has not been confirmed as Head Constable so far. The interesting aspect of the mater is that the Director General of Police, Haryana, Chandigarh in Police Teleprinter Message, which is Annexure R-II to the writ petition, had allotted one set in Intermediate Course during 1990-1991, which was offered to respondent No.7 Samundar Singh. This clearly indicates that the additional seat was specially created for respondent No.7 for the reasons best known to the respondent-department. Had this seat been created for sportsmen category, the claim of other eligible sportsmen would have been considered and it should not have been created by name. Baljit Singh, Offg. A.S.I.

Training Petitioner recruited as Constable. COMMENTS
1. Ad hoc promotion – Reversion therefrom toe substantive rank—Validly of reversion. On the transfer of the Commandant who had promoted the petitioner, a new Commandant came and ed the reversion order without there being any reason to do so. Learned counsel stressed on different achievements of the petitioner in the field of sports as mentioned in the petition. There is no force in the contention of the counsel for the petitioner. Annexure R.1 is the order vide which the petitioner was promoted on ad hoc basis keeping in view his achievements in the filed of sports. It further provides as under:--His promotion is temporary, fortuitous and he will not claim any seniority over and above his seniors for this ad hoc promotion. He will be liable to be reverted without the formality of show cause notice. Since the petitioner was not promoted in accordance with the rules, i.e., after he had been deputed tot he Intermediate Scholl Course and in order of seniority, he could not claim any right to the promoted post. Under Rule 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rules promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector is made from confirmed Head Constables, who after doing Lower School Course, are placed in list ‘D’ maintained for the purpose. The petitioner was not promoted in order of seniority from the list ‘D’ as aforesaid. He was promoted out of trun taking into consideration his achievements in sports. Reversion from the aforesaid promoted post thus does not amount to punishment. Jagat Singh, A.S.I. vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 504. 2. Age of 40 years for the Head Constables. Prescription of age of 40 years for the Head Constables on attaining which they are debarred from being considered for the promotion course for Head Constables under Rule 13.9 of the amended Rules in unconstitutional and has to be struck down. Ram Labhaya, Assistant Sub-Inspector of police and others vs. The State of Punjab, through the Secretary for Home Affairs, Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 775. 3. Departmental test for promotion list D. Relevant rule governing the petitioner’s promotion and inclusion of his name in List ‘d’ is 13.9. On perusal of this rule, which has been reproduced earlier, it is apparent that there is nothing in it which empowers the Superintendent of Police or any other police authority to hold an examination before framing the list ‘D’ for promotion or deputing Head Constables for undergoing the Intermediate School Course. It is true that which framing List ‘D’ for the purpose of promoting Head Constables to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector, the authorities concerned have not to be guided by seniority alone but have also to otherwise judge fitness of the candidate, but in the instant case non inclusion of the petitioner’s name in List ‘D’ is justified solely on the ground that he had failed to secure a position of merit in the examination held for the purpose. Since it has been found that the examination, or the test prescribed by the police authorities, had no sanction in the Police Rules or any other law, the authorities could not disqualify the petitioner from being brought on the List ‘D’ for his failure to secure a position of merit in that examination. The result of the examination has to be totally ignored and if it has been taken into by the authorities in judging whether the petitioner is fit to be brought on the list, their decision stands vitiated and constitutes violation of rule 13.9. The petitioner was entitled to have his case considered for promotion and the inclusion in List ‘D’ without his having taken the examination and since his failure to secure a position of merit in that examination is the primary factor which has been used against him, the order of the authorities cannot be upheld. Ram Kishan, Head Constables vs. The Inspector General of Police, Haryana and others, 1968 S.L.R. 661. 4. Deputed as a result of his promotion in the Teleprinter staff. It is sought to be pleaded that since the petitioner is not a confirmed Head Constable in the executive branch of the police force and is only a member of the teleprinter staff, he is not entitled to be deputed for the course in accordance with the above noted rule. I see no merit in this submission for the short reason that merely on of his promotion and later confirmation as a Head Constable in the teleprinter staff, he does not ccase to be a member of the police force. He ittedly is governed by the Punjab Police Rules referred above. Almost a similar argument was raised on behalf of the respondents in Mela Ram vs. State of Punjab etc. 1979 Current Law Journal 213 and was negatived by this Court. Raj Kumar, Head Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 55. 5. Employee to be sent for Intermediate School Course. The respondent authorities are not in a position to produce any material before me to show that as a matter of fact the two alleged Cadres named as Executive Clerical Cadre and Executive Cadre in the Police Department were created by any competent authority. It is also not shown to me that while exercising their alleged options to continue to work on the clerical side the petitioners had ever given up their claim or rightr to be promoted to the next ranks under the Rules. Otherwise also it is difficult to accept the plea raised on behalf of the respondent. If the petitioners were brought to the clerical side or the cadre as those authorities choose to call it only as Constables, how and shy these people cannot aspire for or seek their due promotions in accordance with the Rules while remaining in the same branch or cadre of the Police Department? If they were brought to these offices as Clerks, why cannot they continue in these very offices as Head Constables or A.S.Is. or while enjoving still higher ranks? In the light of this I see no merit in the stand taken on behalf of the respondent authorities. Dhanna Singh and other vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(4) S.L.R. 617. 6. Entitled to be deputed for intermediate school course on the basis of their seniority. I direct the respondent authorities to depute the petitioners other than Om Parkash to the next Intermediate School Course strictly in accordance with their seniority and the law laid down in the above noted Full Bench Judgment in Sardul Singh’s case. Since Om Parkash had ittedly been sent for this Course and was recalled during the pendency of this petition, he is directed to be sent to the Course forthwith. The petitioners are also held entitled to the costs of this litigation which I determine at Rs. 300 in each case. Phool Chand, Head Constable and ors. Vs. State of Punjab and ors., 1984(1) S.L.R.365. 7. Every Assistant Sub Inspector of Police has a right to be deputed for Upper School Course. It is clear that the instructions contained in the memo. Of the Inspector General of Police dated August 25, 1964, had not been approved by the State Government and had been issued the Inspector General of Police on his own authority. These instructions run counter to the Police Rules and were struck down by me as well as by the Division Bench which heard the appeals against my orders. In addition to the reasons given in those judgments, we are also of the opinion that the instructions issued in the memo. Dated September 16, 1933, and the memo. Dated August, 25, 1964, cannot be enforced as supplemental to the Police Rules because they were not issued by the State Government which alone had the right to make rules under the Police Act, 5 of 1861. According to their lordships of the Supreme Court, in Sant Ram “Sharma vs. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1967 SC 1910, the supplemental instructions can only be issued by the State Government which is competent to make the rule provided they are not inconsistent with the rules already framed. The instructions being void and of no effect, no selection can be made of the Assistant Sub-Inspectors of Police for being sent for the Upper School Course at the Police Training College, Phillaur. Whatever has been said above in regard to the first category of cases equally applies to these cases if we substitute list ‘E’ for list ‘D’ Sub-Inspectors for Assistant Sub-Inspectors, Assistant Sub-Inspectors for Head Constables and the Upper School Course for the Intermediate. School Course. In their cases also, the selection should be made in accordance with seniority unless any particular Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police is exempted from ing that course. While sending the Assistant SubInspectors of Police for training for the Upper School Course, the confirmed Assistant Sub-Inspectors shall be considered first, thereafter the Assistant SubInspectors on probation and last of all the officiating Assistant Sub-Inspectors. Sardul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others, 1970 S.L.R. 505. 8. Head Constables may be sent for the intermediate School Course otherwise than in accordance with their seniority. We also hereby direct that those Head constables who may be sent for the Intermediate School Course otherwise than in accordance with their seniority, shall be liable to be sent back from the course on this ground alone, regardless of the stage of the course at the time when this is detected.

The Police Rules, 1934
9. Head Constable promoted as A.S.I. with out ing Intermediate School Course--Can be reverted when qualified Head Constables become available. It is not possible to quash the order of reversion to the petitioners because they were holding the posts of Assistant Sub – Inspectors of Police in an officiating capacity and their reversion to their substantive rank was not by way of punishment nor cast any stigma on them. They had no right to the officiating posts and since better qualified persons became available, according to rule 13-9 of the police Rules, the order f reversion was legal,. Under rule 13-09, no Head Constable can be appointed a an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police unless he has ed the Intermediate School Course and is itted to list ‘D’. Sardul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others 1970 S.L.R. 505. 10. Petitioner eligible for promotion denied consideration on the ground that he belonged to general cadre of post. It is to be noted that there is Upper School Course which Assistant Sub-Inspector undergo for their eligibility for promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector. Rule 7-2 ibid provides that all gazetted and upper subordinate police officers except Assistant Sub Inspectors are mounted officers and are required to maintain a standard of efficiency in horsemanship which enables them to perform journeys on horseback and other duties with the mounted police. No doubt thee is a provision for granting exemption to some officers by general or special order. Recruits for the mounted police are either obtained by direct enlistment or from out of the foot police. Rule 7-8 provides that the reserve for the mounted police is embodied in the general reserve of head constables and constables sanctioned for fixed duties. Recruits for the mounted police are borne on the dismounted reserve until they are absorbed in vacancies in the mounted establishment. It is thus clear that an official from the general cadre who is equipped with necessary accomplishment of being a member of the mounted police is as and when the occasion arises taken in the mounted police. The petitioner in fact remained in the mounted police for a period of 21 years and he even worked as Riding Instructor in the Training School. It has not been brought on the record that he went to the general cadre of his own violation. The mere fact that he ed the Intermediate examination and was promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector, a post which is not available in the mounted police does not mean that for all times to come he cannot be considered for promotion to a higher post in the mounted police. In fact it appears that the personnel of the mounted police are drawn from time to time form the general cadre. Therefore, in case a chance for promotion to the higher post is available in the mounted police the petitioner along with other eligible officers ought to be considered for that post. Ajit Singh vs. the State of Punjab and others, 1988(7) S.L.R. 178. 11. Police officers deputing Head Constables in disregard of seniority. The complaint is of junior having been sent to the course in preference to the appellants who claim to be their seniors. It has, however, come on record that there were at least 300 other Head Constables senior to the appellants who had not so far been sent to the course. It was on this that the learned single Judge declined to direct the appellants to be sent to the course. While, no exception can, indeed, be taken to this view of the learned single Judge, this case does, however, bring out another glaring instance of the settled position in law being disregarded by the authorities concerned, while deputing Head Constables for the Intermediate School Course. Ram Phool, Sub Inspector and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 767 12. Promotion – Intermediate School Course. The petition has been opposed and a written statement has been filed by respondent No. 3 on his own behalf and that of respondents Nos. 1,2 and 4. It has been contended therein that the method of allocation of seats to different districts has been adopted by him through the impugned order “to prevent differences in the seniority of Head Constables”. A specific averment made by the petitioners in para 18 of the petition that in all other ranges in Haryana, i.e. Hissar and Gurgaon, Head Constables have been deputed to the Intermediate School Course on the basis of their seniority at the range level and that no further allocation on the basis of districts has been made in those ranges has not however, been denied in the written statement. By allocating seats for different districts in Ambala Range through the order Annexure P.2 respondent No. 3 had made an attempt to dilute the effect of the judgment dated 11.4.1986 of this Court. To say the least respondent No. 3 ought to have submitted to the verdict of this Court and desisted from circumventing the directions contained therein. It was conceded before I.S. Tiwana, J., in C.W.P. No. 771/1986 that for the purpose of deputing Head Constables to the Intermediate school Course, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police maintained a working seniority of confirmed Head Constables, and he deputes them for the course on the basis of that seniority. Rishi Pal, Head Constable and others vs. State of Haryana, 1987(4) S.L.R. 717 13. Right to be sent to Intermediate School Course. It is inherent in Rule 13-9 and a legitimate inference can be drawn from the language of this rule that every Head Constable on list ‘C’ has the right to be reputed for the intermediate School Course on his turn and no obstacle can be placed in his way by any of the authorities because it is a necessary qualification prescribed by that rule and there is no other institution from where this qualification can be required. If a Head Constable could qualify himself by ing the Intermediate School Course from any other institution, no obligation would have been cast on the Government to afford him an opportunity to that course and thus acquire that qualifications just as educational qualifications are prescribed which can be acquired by the candidates from any of the numerous institutions. Since this qualification cannot be acquired in any other way but by ission to the Police Training College, the Head Constable willing to undergo that course must be afforded an opportunity to do so. Since the number of seats for the Intermediate School Course is limited, the Head Constable can be sent in the order of seniority as stated hereinafter. Head Constable Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and ors., AIR 1970 Punjab 481 = 1970 Cur. L.J. 755 14. Selection of list ‘C’ for the promotion course. Selection of Head Constables on list ‘C’ for the promotion course under Rule 13-9 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934 as amended by Punjab Police (First Amendment) Rules, 1972 does not form part of the process of promotion of a Head Constable to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector and, therefore, the provision of a test for selection from amongst confirmed Head Constables for ission to the promotion course for Head Constables in ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution of India as it puts a hurdle in their way to acquire the necessary qualification which alone will make them eligible for the next promotion No provision can be made for a test in order to select the Head Constables on list ‘C’ for ission to the promotion course for Head Constables under Rule 13-9 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 as amended in 1972.

Selection on the basis of efficiency and honesty. When a particular qualification is prescribed by the State Government, and in order to acquire that qualification the training course is also run by the Government alone, then it becomes a duty of the Government to afford the opportunity to all eligible Head Constables to qualify themselves for that course. Head Constable Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and ors., AIR 1970 Punjab 481 = 1970 Cur. L.J. 755 16. Training – Petitioner recruited as Constable. Petitioner was recruited as a Constable in the Police Department on July 9, 1971, and was promoted as Head Constable on November 1, 1975. He was further promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector on December 13, 1983, and was confirmed as such on January 2, 1987. As he was not being considered for being sent to Upper School Course, he has filed this writ seeking a direction to the respondents for sending him to the Upper School Course. The respondents in their reply have taken the stand that the petitioner is working in the Wireless Section of the Haryana Police, so he is not entitled to be considered for being sent to the Upper School Course. Mr. Arun Jain, learned counsel for the petitioner, has referred to a judgment of this Court reported as Raj Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 198392) SLR 55, wherein it has been held that a member of the Teleprinter Staff is also entitled to be considered for being sent to the Upper School courts. I allow this writ petition and direct the respondents to depute the petitioner to the Upper School Course in accordance with seniority.

Inherent power of Inspector General of Police to recall a police officer sent for upper
school training course. It is the statutory right of a particular officer to take training in the prescribed course with a view to improve his chances of future promotion, it must follow that any obstacle put in the exercise of such a right amounts to an interference with the service conditions of such an officer. In ordinary course, power to interfere with service condition of a Government servant must seek it justification from specific and explicit provision of law. Such a power cannot be impliedly rad unless the implication is obvious and necessary. I am not referred to any provision of Police Act or Rules framed thereunder form which such inherent power in accrue of the Inspector General of Police cab be read by necessary implication. Under the circumstances, there is no escape from the conclusion that the respondent No.2, the Inspector General of Police, has no power to recall a person who is already sent to take course in training. Shri Sukh Dutt.vs State of Himachal Paradesh Simla and others, 1977 (2) S.L.R. 433. 2.
Natural justice—Civil consequences flow, the respondent No.2, has got any “inherent powers” to recall an officer who is sent for training, the question is whether such inherent powers could be exercised without complying with the rules of natural justice. It may be again repeated here that recalling of an officer form training course involves some civil consequences because such a recall would prevent him from ing the course in time and, therefore, other of his colleagues, who are equally situated would be able to the course earlier than him and this would enable them to get future promotions also earlier. It therefore, concerned would follow if he is not allowed to a particular course at proper time. Shir Sukh Dutt vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, Simla and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 433.
3.
Power to recall police officer sent for upper school training course. The scheme of Rule 13.10 shows that once an officer is so selected , he acquires a statutory right to take that course because ing of that course is apre-requisit for future promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector. It is evident that petitioner’s future chances for future promotions cannot be improved if he is not allowed to the course to which he is sent of training. The fact that the Departmental Promotion Committee has selected him for the said training, and the further fact that pursuant to the said selection he is actually sent to the college for the said purpose, fully qualify the petitioner to take the course and vest in him a statutory right which cab ne defeated only by a procedure contemplated by law ( which includes Rules). The taking of the course in question is specifically provided in rule 13. 10 which is substitute by Himchal P)radish Amendment Rules 1976, and so , the ratio of the above decision s applies to this case with greater force, in view of the fact that the petitioner, after being selected for the course, has been actually sent to the college for above referred to should e read in light of the provisions contained in Himachal Predesh Rules 13.10 of the amended Rules which do not give an unqualified right to an Assistant Sub-Inspector to be sent for training because the provisions of sub-rule (2) prescribe the rules of eligiblity for ission to the promotion course in question.
4.
Promotion fell due before amendment and when juniors promoted. There is no provision in the said Rule that an Assistant Sub-Inspector should the Upper School Course before he can be considered for promotion as Sub-Inspector. The rule was amended on March 9,1972, and thereafter it has been provided that an Assistant Sub-Inspector should the promotion Course before he can considered for promotion as Sub-Inspector. From a reading of the Rule is further evident that the ing for Upper School Course has been made compulsory for promotion only after the amendment of the Rule. Kishori Lal A.S.I vs. The Inspector General Of Police Punjab and others, 1981 (1) S.L.R. 650.
5.
Reversion of officiating Police Officer. A police officer whose name has been removed form list ‘E’ cab back to that list if his subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit come justifies the same. Just as he initially comes on that list, similarly, after removal of his name from that list, he cab again come back to it provided his work or conduct is of outstanding merit and justifies the same. There is thus no permanent or prolonged bar to his coming back to the lists, the only condition being outstanding merit of work or conduct. If, after his name has been removed from list ‘E’ he improves himself and shows outstanding merit in his work and conduct, obviously his name may be restored to that list by the order of the Deputy Inspector General. So removal of such an officers name form list ‘E’ does not debar him from future promotion, nor does it indefinitely postpone his chances of future promotion, because once the Deputy Inspector-General finds that his subsequent work or conduct is of outstanding merit , he has the power to restore him back to list ‘E’ and thus place him in the line for promotion. If removal from list ‘E’ was a permanent feature which debarred such an officer form promotion in future or debarred his chances of future promotion indefinitely then that would be a penal consequences that would accompany reversion, if it follows with reversion, but this, as pointed out, is not so Rule 13.10 and 13.12, specifically provide for removal of the name of the police officer form list ‘E’ for cause and restoration of the same to that list in recognition of subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit of such an officer. So removal form list ‘E’ is not a permanent feature. It by itself does not debar future promotion nor does it defer chances future promotion indefinitely. It is left in such a case to the officer concerned to merit his being placed back in the list. The poison of such an officer is no different form an officer who has not yet come on list ‘E’ both are in exactly the same situation. Either will have to show outstanding merit in his work and conduct to deserve to come on that list and either will come on that list when he satisfies that test. It is this consideration of these rules which leads to the conclusion that removal of the name of an Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list ‘E’ which removal is always form cause as given in the rules, does not per se debar him from future promotion indefinitely defer his chances of future promotion.

Additions to the list may be made at any time by Deputy Inspectors- General but all such additions and the removal of all names under sub-rule 13.12.(2) shall be published in the Gazette by special notification. Names shall be entered in the list in order according to the date of ission, length of police service deciding the relative position of Assistant Sub-Inspectors itted on the same date. 13.12. Method of filling temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector—(1) In the filling temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector the object shall be to test all men on list E as full as possible in independent charges. The order in which names occur in the list should be disregarded, the opportunities of officiating in the higher rank being distributed as evenly as possible. An Assistant SubInspector officiating as a Sub-Inspector should ordinarily continue so to officiate for the duration of the vacancy, and should not be reverted merely because another Assistant Sub-Inspector senior to him is not officiating. This principle may, however, be modified if in any case its observance would result in of thoroughly competent man being deprived by a man markedly his junior of an officiating appointment of more than 8 month’s duration.

The Police Rules, 1934 The conduct and efficiency of men on lists D and E shall be at all times watched with special care. Any officer, who , whether in his substantive rank or while officiating as an Assistant Sub-Inspector or Sub-Inspector is guilty of grave misconduct of a nature reflecting upon his character or fitness for responsibility, or who shows wither by specific acts or by his record as a whole, that he is unfit for promotion to higher rank shall be reported to the Deputy Inspector-General for removal form list D or E, as the case may be. In interpreting this rule discrimination shall be shown between faults which are capable of elimination by 8experience and further training, and those which indicate definite incompetence and defects of character. Officers Whose names have been removed form either list D or list E may be restored by order of the Deputy Inspector-General in recognition of subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit.

Promotion to temporary vacancy of Sub-Inspector of Police. COMMENTS
1.
Promotion to temporary vacancy of Sub-Inspector or Inspector of Police. It needs no argument to see that the plain language of the rule above said provides that seniority is indeed as insignificant, if not, an irrelevant consideration for filling of temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector. That applies mutates mutandis to the case of officiating Inspectors as well by virtue of rule 13.16 (2) The primary and the declared objective for filling these temporary vacancies is manifestly to afford an opportunity for testing all eligible men on list ‘E’ as fully as possible by allowing them to hold independent charges. That the order in which the names occur in list ‘E’ should be disregarded and the plum of officiating in the higher rank should be distributed as evently and as equally as possible to the persons existing on the list. As if to put the matter beyond doubt, the rule lays down that a junior Assistant Sub-Inspector should ordinarily continue to officiate for the duration of a vacancy to which he is appointed irrespective of the fact that persons senior to him are kept out of such similar officiating posts. To our mind, there is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13.12 (1) and as a consequence of rule 13.16 (2) is that promotion to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspector are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on lists ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test there mettle in these posts. That being the position in law, it is apparent that the reversion of the petitioners to his substantive rank of Sub-Inspector can not and does not in the least adversely affect his seniority. The respondent-State is categorical in itting the seniority of the petitioner qua respondents Nos. 3, 5 and 6in the substantive rank of Sub-Inspector.

13.14.
Promotion to and in the selection grades of sub-Inspectors- (1) Promotion to the various selection grades of Sub-Inspectors shall be made by Superintendents of Police and the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police as vacancies in the sanctioned establishment of such appointments occur in accordance with the principle laid down in rule 13. 1 (2) No Sub-Inspector shall be considered eligible for promotion to a selection grade unless he has at least eight years approved service as an upper subordinate, of which at least five shall have been in the rank of Sub-Inspector, and unless he is thoroughly efficient and competent to hold charge of a police station of first class importance. No Sub-Inspector who has been punished by reduction, stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service for increments, shall be eligible for promotion of a selection grade. Exemptions to this rule may be made only with the sanction of the Inspector-General in recognition of distinguished service and exemplary conduct. (4)

The Police Rules, 1934
1.
Competitive test is not permissible under the rules. The question whether a competitive test could be prescribed for a substantive promotion of a Sub-Inspector by including his name in List ‘F’ was specifically considered and answered in negative . This decision has, therefore, to be respectfully considered in deciding the first contention of the petitioner. It is not possible to control out the first contention of the petitioner in view of this decision. It may , therefore, be held or assumed that in 1965 the petitioner should not have been subjected to competitive test for a substantive promotion. His cause of action to make a grievance therefore arose in 1965 itself. He did not avail himself of the remedy of a writ petition to get that grievance redressed upto 1971. In the mean while the rights of innocent third parties intervened inasmuch as other persons have been promoted from the rank of a Sub-Inspector to the rank of an Inspector after being included in List ‘F’ These persons are not parties to this writ petition. If the petitioner is to be now considered for promotion of the basis of his eligibility in 1965 and is to be promoted as in 1965, his promotion would inevitably effect the seniority of some other persons. In view of the delay in attacking the validity of the test held in 1965,as also the injustice that would be involved in redressing that grievance now, the petitioner cannot be granted the relief of being entitled to be considered for inclusion in List ‘F’ on the basis of his eligibility in 1965.

Promotion. Deputy Inspector General of police, Border Range, Amritsar, has, inter alia, vide orders dated March 25, 1991 found that ‘the reporting officer had recorded these adverse remarks due to misunderstanding with biased mind. He has further found that the adverse remarks were expunged. In view of this changed position, it would be incumbent upon the respondents to consider the petitioner’s claim for being brought up on list F with effect from march 8, 1989 when the names of his juniors were included’ in the said list. Harminder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1991(2) RSJ 217.
3.
Relaxation of rules. The departmental candidate when he was taken into service was found fit with regard to height and chest both. As regards height it was relaxed in the case of these two petitioners. They cannot be disqualified on that ground now when they seek promotion through the avenue of a competitive examination to the post of sub-inspectors. Once the authorities relaxed the standard of minimum height and enlisted the petitioners as constables in the Delhi Police this relaxation will hold good as long as they remain in the Delhi Police. It would be absurd to hold that the petitioners through the channel of promotion can go up to the post of a sub-inspector , though having a height of less than 170 cms, but for the channel of competition they are disqualified. Such an interpretation is not only absurd but also unjust. The initial relaxation was validly given under R. 12.15 of the Police Rules. This relaxation the petitioners can carry with them for appointment to the post of Sub-Inspector, whether as a result of competitive examination or by way of promotion. For these reasons I held that the petitioner’s disqualification on the ground of minimum height is invalid. They will be entitled to appear at the personality test. The parties are left to bear their own costs. Sunder Devi vs. Union of India and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 487.

Rules prescribed tow stages for selection. Rule 13.15 contemplates two stages of selecting, namely-(1) selection by the D.IG. who then makes recommendations to the I.G. undre rule 13.15(1) , and (2) the final selection by the I.G. from those recommended by the D.I.G. under rule 13.15(2). If there are more than one D.I.Gs. working under an I.G. according to the distribution of the work, some of the candidates may be working under one and other candidates may be working under another D.I.G. The procedure adopted in constituting the Selection Committee consisting of the I.G. and the two D.I.Gs. seems to combined the two stages described above. In this Selection Committee the D.I.G. under whom the particular candidate is working would be “seeing” the candidate within the meaning of rule 13.15(1). There is a presumption that official acts are done according to the procedure laid down in rule 13.15. Unless, therefore the petitioner alleges that the other D.I.G. under whom he was not working interviewed the petitioner, the presumption would be that it is only the D.I.G. under whom the petitioner was working did above interview of the petitioner. Certainly, at the time of the interview the other D.I.G has seen and recommended a candidate, the I.G. there and then decided whether to accept the said recommendation or not. The procedure of selection committee was thus more expeditious than the procedure, which would ordinarily have been followed under rule 13.15. If such quicker istrative procedural efficient is secured, it is not for the court to strike it down by insisting of the less efficient procedure. The rest which will govern interference by the Courts whether rule 13.15 was compiled with substantially or not. Since the functions of D.G. and the I.G. have not been alleged to be performed Otherwise than as they are required to be done under rule 13.15 it cannot be said that the said rule is violated merely because these functions are performed immediately one after the other by these officers meeting together. Mangat Dass vs. lt. Governor and ors., 1974(2) S.L.R. 661
13.16.
Promotion to the rank of Inspector.—(1) Substantive vacancies in the rank of Inspector, save those which are specially designated for the appointment of probationers shall be filled by promotion of officers from list F selected according to the principles laid down in rule 13.1. Sergeants are eligible for promotion in the appointments reserved for European Inspectors.
(2) Temporary vacancies in the rank of Inspector shall be filled by the officiating promotion of officers on F list by the authorities empowered by rule 13.4 to make the appointment. Such officiating promotions shall be made in accordance with the principles laid down in sub-rule 13.12(1) in the case of E list, and the second part of that rule shall, mutatis mutandis, govern the scrutiny of the work of list F offers and the removal from that list of the names of those who are found unfit for the rank inspector. (3) No officer whose name is not on F list shall be appointed to officiate as Inspector without the special sanction of the Inspector-General, When no officer on list is available in the range for a vacancy which the Deputy Inspector-General is required to fill, application shall be made to the InspectorGeneral to appoint a man from another range. 13.17 Annual Confidential Reports. – (1) Superintendent shall prepare and submit annually to the Deputy Inspector-General, after obtaining the District Magistrate’s remarks thereon, reports in form 13.17 on the working of all Upper Subordinates serving under them. These reports shall be submitted to reach the Deputy Inspector General on or before 15th April. Deputy Inspector-General and Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, will add their own remarks and retain reports on Assistant Sub Inspectors and Sub-Inspector who are not on list ‘F’ in their own offices. Reports on all Inspectors, Sub-Inspectors on list ‘F’ and Sergeants will be forwarded by Deputy Inspectors General and Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police, so as to reach the Inspector General on or before the 15th May. In the cases of Indian Inspectors of the General Line, Sub-Inspectors on list ‘F’ and all Sergeants, Deputy Inspectors General and Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police, will attach with each report so submitted a duplicate copy thereof. Any remarks recorded by the Inspector General on the original report will be copied in his office on the duplicate prior to the return of the latter report for record with the duplicate personal file maintained in accordance with rule 12-38(1). (2) Reports shall be of three kinds, A, B and C, and shall be marked as such :A reports. – Reports in which for special reasons it is recommended that promotion be given irrespective of seniority. B reports. – Reports in which is recommended that promotion be given in the ordinary course of seniority. C reports. – Reports in which it is recommended that the officer be ed over for promotion or that the taking of departmental action on general grounds of inefficiency or unsatisfactory conduct be considered. In ‘A’ and ‘C’ reports detailed reasons must be given for the recommendations made. The purport of all ‘C’ reports shall be communicated to the officer concerned at a personal interview or, if this is not possible, in writing. Written acknowledgements shall be taken and attached to their personal files. In communicating such reports, the instructions contained in paragraph 7 of Punjab Government Consolidated Circular No. 1, shall be followed. Ordinary, the submission of two successive ‘C’ reports regarding an officer will result automatically in the institution of departmental proceedings against him on such charge as the contents of the reports may justify. (3) Superintendent shall submit annually to the Deputy Inspector General by the 15th April, confidential reports in form 13-17 on the working of all Gazetted Officers serving under them. Deputy Inspector-General will add their own remarks and forward the reports to reach the Inspector-General, on or before the 15th May.

1. Confidential reports. It is quite clear that an officer, who has seen the working of his subordinate at least for a period of three months, could only record remarks in the annual confidential report. Annexure P.8, which contains adverse remarks communicated to the petitioner, are for the period July 4, 1987 to February 29, 1988. During this period the petitioner was working with the CBI, which fact is not disputed in the written statement filed on behalf on the State of Punjab. It is quite clear that Shri A.P. Panday, who was then working as Senior Superintendent of Police, has occasion the see the working of the petitioner, and as per instructions aforesaid he was not required to record any remarks in the annual confidential report for the said period. The stand taken up in the written statement by the State, in response to the allegations made in the petition in para 20, is that the annual confidential report was recorded in accordance with the Departmental instructions and the Civil Service Rules. During the course of arguments no other instructions or Civil Service Rules have been pointed out to justify the recording of adverse remarks in the annual confidential report of the petitioner of the relevant period, as noticed abvoe by Shri Pandey. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(2) S.L.R. 424 = 1950 – 1988 RSJ(1) 311 2. Recording of adverse remarks in the annual confidential report – Representation against. No doubt, recording of annual confidential remarks is an istrative work of the State, and while disposing of appeal filed against such remarks, detailed reasons need not have been recorded as the appellate authority was dismissing the representation. However, when the petitioner had challenged the jurisdiction of the officer to make adverse remarks and had referred to the rules and instructions in his representation (Annexure P.9), it was expected of the authority to deal with such a point, while rejecting the representation. In such circumstances the order simply rejecting the representation was not called for. The order Annexure P.10, thus, cannot be sustained in law. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(2) S.L.R. 424 3. Reservation of posts - - Seats reserved for Women Constables in Patiala district – Denial of similar benefit in other district. A reference was made to the previous instructions dated December 27, 1984 on the subject of promotion system for Women Police. In Para 2, the existing position to fill up vacancies in Women Police Force was examined in view of the fact that general relaxation was accorded, to enable the women to compete in the test along with the Women Constables only instead with their male counterparts. After making reference to rule 13-21, it was observed, it was considered necessary to accord relaxation for a period of one year more as of the Women Police have not been able to compete with their male counterparts and further to undergo Lower School Course to merit their selection in B.I. test to occupy their vacancies in various ranks. Thus, instructions were given to make earnest efforts for filling up the posts of Women Head Constables (N.G.Os.) and Inspectors at the earliest. These instructions were so considered and seats were reserved in the district of Patiala which fact is itted in the written statement. If similar treatment is not allowed to Lady Constable in other districts, there would be straightaway discrimination. The contention of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents that from Ferozepore Range, there was no demand for reservation of seats for Lady Head Constables and thus no such seats were reserved by the Director General of Police while doing so in the case of Patiala as demand was raised is no justification in law. Kashmir Kaur vs. Director General of Police, Punjab and another, 1989(5) S.L.R. 79 13-18. Probationary period of promotion. – All Police Officers promoted in rank shall be on probation for two years, provided that the appointing authority may, by a special order in each case, permit period of officiating service to count towards the period of probation. On the conclusion of the probationary period a report shall be rendered to the authority empowered to confirm the promotion who shall either confirm the officer or revert him. In no case shall the period of probation be extended beyond two years and the confirming authority must arrive at a definite decision with in a reasonable time soon after the expiry of that period whether the officer should be confirmed or reverted. While on probation officers may be reverted without departmental proceedings. Such reversion shall not be considered reduction for the purpose of rule 16-4. This rule shall not apply to constables and Sub-Inspectors promoted to the selection grade, whose case is governed by rules 13-5 and 13-14. SYNOPSIS 1.

1. Bad record of service – Denial to promote justified. The other plea raised by the petitioner is that there was no justification for continuing him as an unconfirmed Inspector of Police for a period of fourteen years. The petitioner has stated that the likely reason for depriving him to the right of promotion to the post of Dy. S.P. was that a departmental enquiry was pending against him in which, however, he was fully exonerated by the S.P. Solan vide No. 1955-60 of July 1, 1976. We have carefully considered this aspect of the matter and feel that the petitioner has not made out any cogent case in his favour on this basis and has only referred to this matter in a very cursory manner. He has neither indicated as to when he was charge-sheeted, what were the charges against him and how this pending departmental enquiry was held to come in his way while considering his case for confirmation as an Inspector and his subsequent promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police. On the order hand, the Inspector General of Police has categorically stated that the case of the petitioner for confirmation as Inspector of Police was considered in the year 1973, January, 1974, February 1975, and August, 1975 along with other, but the petitioner was not found suitable for confirmation due to hid bad service record. In this words, it was the bad service record and not the departmental inquiry which came in the way of the petitioner and this act has been confirmed by a perusal of the relevant record which has been made available to us. In view of this specific averment by the Inspector General of Police, based on the relevant record, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we are of the definite view that the petitioner is not entitled to any relief on this count. Jamna Devi vs. State and others, 1991(3) S.L.R. 343 2. Petitioner not selected for upper school course on the basis of executive instructions being overage. It is the conceded position that the instructions of the Inspector-General of Police referred to above, were struck down by a Full Bench of this Court in Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and other, 1970 S.L.R. 505. Thus in the light of this judgment it is patent that neither respondents Nos. 3 to 5 could be treated to have ed any equivalent course to the Upper School Course nor respondents No. 6 to 11 could be said to have been duly selected for being sent to the Upper School Course. That being the position the stand of the respondent authorities that these respondents were in any manner eligible to be promoted as SubInspectors from the posts of Head Constables and were eligible to be confirmed as such, becomes untenable. The selection of respondents Nos. 6 to 11 and the equivalence of the course ed by respondents Nos. 3 to 5 being void, the said respondents were as much qualified or disqualified as the petitioner was. Thus the petitioner has every right to be considered for promotion or confirmation along with these respondents who undisputably were junior to him as Head Constables. Ram Singh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(1) S.L.R 892 3. Promotion – Confirmation. From the Notification dated 20.2.1963, vide which the petitioner was promoted as an Inspector, it would be clear that the petitioner was promoted in the year 1963 purely on an officiating basis vice Inspector Ranjit Singh No. 1 N/14 of Mahasu when he went on leave preparatory to retirement w.e.f. 27.1.1963. As such, we fully accept the contention of the respondent that the petitioner’s case is actually covered under rule 13-4 of the Police Rules and not under Rule 13-18. In the order of promotion of the petitioner in the year 1962, it has nowhere been stated that he was to be put on two year probation and the petitioner does not seem to have raised this issue at any time before filing this writ petition in the Himachal Pradesh High Court. There is, therefore, no justification whatsoever in contending that his promotion was covered under Rule 13-18 of the Punjab Police Rules or for suggesting that he was on probation for two years and should be deemed to have been automatically confirmed with effect from 17.3.1965.

Reversion to the post of constable without affording an opportunity of being heard. The provisions of Rule 13-18 of the Police Rules may not in apply to the case of the petitioner since he belonged to entirely a different category of police, namely, the Mounted Police for which there is different training as per the provisions of Rule 7 of the Police Rules, yet the principles enunciated therein should apply, As has been held even by the Courts of law, a person having continued on a post for sufficiently long period even of officiating basis should no be reverted therefrom unless he has afforded an opportunity of being heard which ittedly is not the case here, In fact, our own High Court in Hiran Nand vs. State of H.P and others, (1981 1LR (HP Series) page 225) has held that even if a police officer is appointed on officiating basis he shall be deemed to have been on probation for a period of two years in of Rule 13.18 and as and when the vacancy occurs even if there is no such vacancy at the time of his initial appointment and after he has completed the stipulated period he shall be deemed to have become permanent thereon. In fact, instances are not lacking wherein the promotions have been made in the Police Department quite in deviation of the Police Rules in branches which require technical or special type of skill and expertise.

(2) A constable awarded the Police Medal shall, if not already in the selection grade, be promoted to that grade on probation as prescribed in rule 13.5(7). 13.20. Departmental Promotion Committee – In order to ensure that selection and promotion are made in accordance with the rules, Departmental Promotion Committees shall be set up at various levels. Such Committees shall arrange to put all eligible persons through a written test and parade. Thereafter those persons who secure the qualifying marks will be interviewed by the said Committee. The Committee will assess the merit of such persons on the basis of their service records as well as performance in the test. The syllabus for various test, qualifying percentage of marks, the composition of Departmental Promotion Committees shall be prescribed by the Inspector-General of Police in the form of a Standing Order. 13.21.

Requirement as to the recording of reasons. COMMENTS
1. Requirement a to the recording of reasons. Power entrusted to the Inspector General of Police to relax any of the rules cannot be said to be arbitrary as he is first to form an opinion that it is necessary and expedient so to do and then he has to record reasons in writing for relaxing any of the provisions of Chapter XIII with respect to any class or category of persons. The requirement as to the recording of reasons is a sufficient safeguard against misuse of power under rule 13-21 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934 which is held to be valid.

1.
Transfer of Police Officer during pendency of Criminal Proceedings. COMMENTS
1.
Transfer of Police Officer during pendency of Criminal Proceedings. Not disputed that at the instance of Smt. Vidya Wanti, who is living in the house ading that belonging to the petitioner, some criminal proceedings have been instituted against the petitioner, which were under investigation at the time of order of transfer and which are still pending. The respondents’ answer to the challenge made by the petitioner is threefold. It has firstly been submitted that the offence for which the petitioner has been hauled up in a criminal case is alleged to have been committed by him in his private capacity and the same not having been committed by him in the discharge of his official duties, the provision of the abovementioned rule is not applicable in his case. The rule in question appears to have been couched in general language and I am unable to interpret in the restricted sense in which the respondents want me to do. It has secondly been contended that the transfer of the petitioner to Hissar was not on of the criminal case, but on of persistent complaints against him, to some of which reference has been made in the supplementary affidavit of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Ambala Range. Once again the prohibition in the above quoted rule is not to trnasfer on of some criminal case instituted against a police officer, but to the transfer itself during the pendency of any criminal proceeding, which might have been instituted against a police officer, until a final order is ed in respect of those proceedings. It is itted that no final order in respect of the criminal proceedings has so far been ed. I am, therefore, unable to give any of the second objection of the respondents. The third and the last objection to the petitioner’s complaint is that he was serving in his home district which was not normally allowed. Though no replication, in reply to the written statement in which this objection has been taken, has been filed by the petitioner, it has firstly been contended to Mr. Jagjit Singh Chawla, the learned counsel for the petitioner, that if the original relevant records are called for it would become clear that the home district of the petitioner is Karnal (the particular town being Panjpat) and not Ambala. Be that as it may, the learned State Counsel has not been able to show me the particulars rule which contains an absolute prohibition to a police official being posted in his home district. I particularly wanted to have a look at the rule to satisfy myself whether the bar, if any is to the posting of a police official in his home district or only in his home town. Moreover the greatest difficulty which I feel in this case is that even if some police official has been posted, contrary to such a rule, in his home district, such a thing would not have been any justification for avoiding the effect of the mandatory of rule 14.15(5) as no exception has been engrafted on that rule to the effect that it would not apply to a case where some police official has been posted against him in contravention of any particular rule. That being the case, I can filed no way out to avoid granting this writ petitioner, though I have no sympathy with the petitioner on the facts of the case. Moreover there is nothing in the above said rule prohibiting the petitioner being posted to any remote corner within the district of Ambala, and it for the authorities concerned to appropriate orders in accordance with law. All that I hold is that the order transferring the petitioner out of Ambala Distric during the pendency of criminal proceedings instituted against him in violation of rule 14.15(5) of the Punjab Police Rules cannot be sustained. Madan Mohan Lal, Head Constable vs. The State of Haryana, through I.G. Police, Haryana, Chandigarh and others, 1968 S.L.R. 501.

In every such case it shall be the duty of the medical officer, before he grants a certificate to ascertain direct from the head of the applicant’s department or office particulars regarding the applicant’s previous medical history, as well as whether he is really on leave, and the district to which he belongs, and the fact that has beer done shall be mentioned in the medical certificate. Pending this enquiry the applicant will be placed on the sick list. (Rule VII of Appendix XXVIII to the Punjab Medical Manual).
3.
Medical officer are prohbibited from granting certificates recommending transfers of police officers from one station to another on the ground of ill-health, or unsuitability of climate.

(Rule XIV of Appendix XXVIII of the Punjab Medical Manual).
4.
Whenever particulars of a police officer’s illness are required in the interest of Government by his offiicial superiors, the Government medical officer who has dealt with his case in his official capacity may be required to supply them without infringing the relations which ordinarily exist between a patient and his medical advisor. This procedure, however, should rarely be necessary, and ordinarily the medical statement of his case should be demanded from the police officer himself, who can obtain it from his medical attendent in the way in which the somewhat analogous statements, required to an application for leave on medical certificate, are obtained. (Rule XVI of appendix XXVIII of the Punjab Medical Manual).
5.
Medical officers are required to confine themselves to recommending leave to such policemen as are not likely to benefit by a further stay in hospital and should not certify that a policemen is incapacitated for further service unless they are officially requested to report upon his capacity for further service. (Article 450, Civil Service Regulations).

SYNOPSIS 1. Collection of amount to meet litigation expenses for a common cause does to amount to misconduct. COMMENTS 1- Collection of amount to meet litigation expenses for a common cause does not amount to misconduct. Constitution of India secures to all citizens of India, justice, social, economic and political. Judicial setup under the Constitution from Supreme Court to the Subordinate court is to achieve the object enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution aforesaid. Courts are open to all the citizens. Head Constables and Constables of the police force are also at liberty to approach the Court for securing justice. Sub-rule(4) of Rule 12.25 of the Police Rules if correctly interpreted does not put any embargo on the right of Head Constables and Constables to approach the Court. Rule 12.25 of the Police Rules provides for different types of misconduct. The recourse tot he legal proceedings can be had by one police constable or more police constables collectively of their grouse is common. If certain collections are made by those aggrieved constables, to meet out the litigation expenses the same would not amount to misconduct under Rule 12.25(4) of the Rules. Such an act, even otherwise does not infringe any law or rule relating to functioning of police force as such. That being the position, the petitioner could not be charge-sheeted for his act of collecting amount of Rs. 50/- each from other constables, to approach the Court for redress of their grievance.

A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political.
2.
Petitioner found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. COMMENTS
1. A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political. Under Punjab Police Rule 14-30(1) a police officer is prohibited from taking part in or subscribing in aid of any political movement in India or relating to Indian affairs. The provisions of rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules are somewhat similar. Under this rule a Government servant is prohibited from being a member of, or associating with, any political party or any organization which takes part in politics in addition to his being prohibited from taking part in a political movement or political activity. But what is politics? It is a word of wide amplitude and it is neither possible nor desirable to define the same. According to Oxford Dictionary this word means : “The science and art of Government; the science dealing with the form, organization, and istration of a State or part of one, and with the regulation of its relatins with other states.” The word “political”, according to this dictionary, means; “of, belonging, or pertaining to the state or body of citizens its government and policy, especially in civil and secular affairs; public, civil, of or pertaining to the science or art of politics”, and according to Webster’s Dictionary the word “politics”, and according to Webster’s Dictionary the word “political” means; “of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of governmental affairs; of o relating to matters of government as distinguished from matters of law, of, relating to, or concerned with politics; of, relating to, or involved in party politics.” This shows before any party can be said to be a political party or an organization taking part in politics the party or organization should be propagating its views or ideologies in the art or science of government. It may be either ing the Government of the day or opposing it. A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police, Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768 2. Petitioner found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. The employees from Unions and put up demands. The social and religious organizations on occasions also make certain demands from the government. By no stretch of imagination they become political parties. The demand of implementing recommendations of Khosla Commissions, withdrawal of Court cases pending against Delhi policemen, removal of victimization and removal of restrictions on recruitment to Delhi Police, are not demands of a political nature. These demands are only to alleviated the sufferings of the Delhi Policemen. Be that as it may, before the petitioner could fall under the said Rules, it has to be shown by the respondents that either he was taking part or subscribing in any political movement in India or he was a member or otherwise associated with any political party or organization. The facts discussed above do not show that there was any political party or organization or political movement in India of which the petitioner could be called a member or otherwise taking part in it. I find that the enquiry officer, disciplinary authority as well as the appellate authority have not said a single word about there being any political party or organization or movement of which the petitioner had become a member or subscriber or er. In fact the enquiry report gives a finding on one aspect only and that is that the petitioner was present in the mass rally. Similarly, the order of the Superintendent of Police discusses the fact of the petitioner attending the rally. In fact this order shows that the petitioner was found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. This fact, as discussed by me above, does not ipso facto make the petitioner guilty under the said Rules. The appellate order is no better. Again, there is no evidence on record to show that any political party or organization or movement organized this meeting. In these circumstances I cannot but hold that the petitioner cannot be held guilty under Punjab Police Rule No. 14-30(1) and Rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Service (Conduct) Rules. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police, Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768 14-31. Irregular applications and recommendations – Prohibition of. – Police officers of all ranks are prohibited from applying either directly or through superior officers for promotion, when vacancies occur, and officers are prohibited from recommending subordinates for particular posts otherwise than as provided for in Chapter XIII, or if ordered to do so by the authority empowered to fill such posts. 14-32. Action if bribe is offered. – Every police officer, if at any time he should be offered a bribe, is required to make an immediate report of the fact to his official superior. Failure to Comply with this order will in itself be a breach of discipline. The offer of a bribe is a criminal offence, and all possible steps should be immediately taken to ensure that the offence may be brought home to the bribe-giver in a criminal trial in cases where circumstances indicate that such a course of action is feasible. 14-33. Police officers not to take up other employment. – Section 10 of Act V of 1861 absolutely forbids any police officer from taking up any employment whatever other than his duties under that Act, save with the express and written permission of the Inspector General. Such permission has been given generally so as not to debar police officers from engaging in casual literary work, to the extent allowed under the Government Servants Conduct Rules, from serving as examiners, or from engaging in an honorary capacity in the work of charitable, religious, or social organizations. The Inspector-General has the right, however, to withdraw his permission in any case in which, in his opinion, the interests of Government are prejudiced. The restrictions imposed by Section 10 of the Police Act are binding on police officers throughout their service, whether on leave or duty. 14-34. Regarding arbitration. – A police officer shall not act as an arbitrator for the settlement of a dispute except under the following rules :-

(b)
as a general rule in no case should an officer be kept in total ignorance for any length of time that his superiors, after sufficient experience of his work, are dissatisfied with him; in cases where a warning might eradicate, or help to eradicate, a particular fault the advantages of prompt communication are obvious; where criticism is to be withheld the final authority to consider the report should record instructions with reasons, according to the nature of the defect discussed as to the period for which communication is to be kept back;
(c)
only those defects need be pointed out which can be remedied, since it would be serve no useful purpose to communicate such criticisms as lack of ability or intelligence;
(d)
the reporting officer should specifically state whether the defects reported have been already brought in any other connection to the notice of the officer concerned.
(e)
remarks in cases in which the local Government or head of the department or other officer suspends judgment should not be communicated;
(f)
great attention should be paid to the manner and method of communication in order to ensure that the advice given and the warning or censure istered, whether orally or in writing, shall, having regard to the temperament of the officer concerned, be most beneficial to him.
Recommendations for appointments, promotions, increase of pay and the like should not be mentioned to the parties concerned. Police officers should, therefore, be careful not merely to obstain from communicating but also to guard against the disclosure of information in cases of the kind, which should always be treated as confidential in official correspondence.

Those provisions are contained in Chapter V (especially Sections 46 and 50), and Chapter IX (especially Sections 127 and 128) of the Criminal Procedure Code. (a)
The main principle to be observed is that the degree of force employed shall be regulated according to the circumstances of each case. The object of the use of force is to quell a disturbance of the peace, or to jkdisperse an assembly which threatens such disturbance and has either refused to disperse or shows a determination not to disperse; no ulterior objects, such as punitive or repressive effect, shall be taken into consideration.
(b)
Any officer in charge of a police station or police officer of higher rank has power, independently of the authority of a Magistrate, to call upon an unlawful assembly to disperse and to use force to disperse it. (See Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code). When a Magistrate other than an honorary Magistrate) is present or can be communicted with without such delay as would prejudice the situation, an assembly shall not be called upon to disperse nor shall force be used to disperse it without orders of such Magistrate, provided that, if a gazetted police officer is presents, and no Magistrate having first class or higher powers is present, such police officer shall independently in ordering an assembly to disperse. In other cirucmstances the senior police officer present, having the powers of an officer in charge of a police station, shall act on his own responsibility, but shall communicate with and report his action to the senior Magistrate, who may be accessible, as soon as possible. Whether acting under the orders of a Magistrate or not, once the order to disperse a crowed has been given, the method by which force shall be applied and the degree of force to be used shall be decided by the senior police officer present; provided that, if the District Magistrate is himself present, he, as head of the police foce of the district, shall be recognised to be the senior police officer present. For the purposes of this rule a Sub-Divisional Magistrate within his sub-division shall have the status of a District Magistrate, i.e. he shall be recognised by all police officers of the sub-division as the senior police officer, and shall power to decide the method and degree of force to be used.
(c)
All attempts to disperse a crowed by warnings, exhortation, etc; shall be made before it is declared an unlawful assembly and, as such, ordered to disperse. Once an order to disperse has been defied, or when the attitude of a crowed is obviously defiant, force shall be used without hesitation. The degree of force used shall be the minimum which the responsible officer, with the exercise of due care and attention, decides to be necessary for the effective jdispersal of the crowd and the making of such arrests as may be desired. The degrtee and duration of the used of roce shall be limited as much as possible, and the least deadly weapon which the circumstances permit shall be ued.
(d)
The effectivenss of force depends mainly upon the determination with which it is applied; its direction against the most defiant section of the crowd to be dispersed and its absolute control. Failure to act on this principle results inevitably in more force being applied and more dangerous weapons being used than would otherwise have been necessary. It is not possible to lay down any more definate rule as to when different mthods different weapons shall be used. The officer responsible is requried to decide this in each case on consideation of the strength and attitude of the crowd to be dispersed, and the strength of the force available for its dispersla.
(e)
When the responsible police officer, whether acting under th orders of a Magistrate or independentlhy, considers that the juse of firearms is necessary, he shall, unless circumstances make such action impossible, warn the crowd that if they do not immediately disperse, fire with live ammunition will be opened upon them. If the District Magistrate or, in a sub-division, the-sub-divisoinal offier is present, his orders shall invariably be obtained immediately the necessity of opening fire becoems imminent.
(f)
In order that the decision to open fire may be promply acted upon without loss of control or confusion, the responsible police officer shall, as soon as it appears likely that the use of firearms will be necessary, tell off a detachment of armed police to be held in readiness. When fire is to be opened, the responsible police officer shall decide the minimum volume necessary to be effective in the circumstances and shall give precise orders accordingly, as to the particular men or files who are to fire and the number of rounds to be fired; and whether volleys or independent aimed shots are to be fired, and shall ensure than this orders are not exceeded and that no firing contrary to or without orders takes place. Whatever volume of fire is ordered, it shall be applied with the maximum of effect; the aim shall be kept low and directed at the

The Police Rules, 1934 most threatening parts of the crowd; in no circumstances shall firing over the heads of or at the fringes of the crowd be allowed. Since buckshot is not an effective charge at any range at which it is safe to use it, Government has directed that the use of buckshot ammunition against crowds should be prohibited.
(g) When no Magistrate is present, the police officer in command, as is contemplated in the Criminal Procedure Code, shall be responsible for the opening of fir Invaribaly, whether the order to use firearms has been given by a Magistratre, or by a police officer, the order to cease fir shall be given as soon as the unlawful assembly shows disposition to retire or disperse. (h) While the disposition of the police must be left to the police officer in command, every precaution should be taken that a force armed with firearmss is not brought so close to a dangersous crowd, as to risk it either being overwhelmed by numbers or being forced to inflict heavy casualties. If the use of firearms cannot be avoided, firing should be carried out form a distance sufficient to obviate the risk of the force being rushed and to enable strict fire-control to be maintained. (i)
On occasions of religious festivals police carrying firearms should ordinarily not be employed to escort processions. They should be posted in front or in the rear of the procession where they are in least danger of being thrown in to confusion by the mob and cab be kept under the control of the officer in command and their petty officers.
(j) On occasions when firearms have been used against unlawful assemblies it should be the duty of the Magistrate, if one is present, to make adequate arrangements for the care of the wounded persons and for their removal to hospital and also for the disposal of the dead, if any. He should also, then and there, draw up a full report in consulation with the senior police officer present, stating all the circumstances and noting the number of rounds of ammunition issued and expended. If no Magistrate is present, this report shall be prepared by the senior police officer who shall also take all possible action with regard to wounded and dead, (2) The following instruction govern the action of the police when the use of military force becomes necessary:--(a)

Any Magistrate may make such a requisition ( Section 130, Criminal Procedure Code) and, in emergencies when no Magistrate can be communicated with, commissioned officer of the regular army may himself order military force to be used. When no Magistrate is available and troops are present and their intervention is, in the opinion of the senior police officer present necessary, that officer shall inform the senior commissioned regular army officer present of the situation, requesting his assistance in of the police if necessary. The military officer receiving such report will decide whether to act on it.
(b) When military force has been set in motion for the dispersal of a crowd, any police force previously employed in with such crowd shall be withdrawn to prevent confusion. The senior police officer present and the officer commanding the troops shall confer as to the method and exact time of such withdrawal, and as to the subsequent employment of the police provided that , if the District Magistrate is down absolutely, the normal procedure should be for the police to be so withdrawn as to leave a free field of action to the troops, and to be used thereafter (a) in of the troops for making arrests and pursuing a broken mob, (b) for guarding the flanks and rear of the troops form attack and preventing the out break of disturbance in other areas. (c) It must be noted that, when the order to disperse and unlawful assembly by military force has been give, the senior police officer on the spot and all police at the time within the area where military force is being employed come under the orders of the senior military officer present, who is in charge of the operation of dispersal, and remain under the his orders to this extend and for the period necessary, but the latter must consult the senior police officer present in any action he thinks it necessary to take. When control of the situation is definitely handed over by the senior civil officer to the military authorities, the police force come fully under military control. (NOTE.—These instructions are in conformity with the secret instructions on the subject issued by the Government of India, Army Department). (3) Only an officer in charge of police station ( and police officer superior in rank of virtue of Section 551, Criminal Procedure Code) can act under Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code. When any other police officer encounters an unlawful assembly, he should immediately send for a Magistrate or a police officer empowered to act under Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code. Should be unlawful assembly commit any overt act of violence before the arrival of such Magistrate or police officer, the senior police officer on the spot, in virtue of other powers conferred by the law, should take such action as is necessary to deal with the situation. Section 149, Criminal Procedure Code, empowers every police officer to interpose for the purpose of preventing, and requires that every police officer shall , to the best of his ability, prevent the commission of any cognizable offence. Section 152, Criminal procedure Code empowers a police officer of his own authority to interpose to prevent shall police officers have the same right of private defence which is granted to every person.

1.
Disciplinary action Wrong rule quoted. Error is not fatal to enquiry. Inspector General of Police, Punjab vs. Amrik Singh, AIR 1973 Punjab 214=1973 Cur. LJ 45
2.
Distinction between “reduction” and stoppage of increment. Rule 16(1) of the Punjab Police Rules makes a clear distinction between “reduction” and stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service for increment, the two being distinct and separate punishments permissible under that rule. State of Punjab vs. Shri Kishan Das, 1971(2) S.LR. 174
3.
Expression “Reduction in rank” in Article 311(2). Respondent being constable, there was no question of his being reduced from a her post or rank to a lower post or rank. The order, nonetheless, reduced the emoluments received by him as it deprivted him of the increments earned by him as result of the approved service, he had put in having been forfeited. It also effected his seniority, and therefore, chances of promotion. The expression ‘Reduction in rank’ in Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India means reduction from a higher to a lower rank or post when imposed as a penalty. An order forfeiting the past service which has earned a Government servant increments in the post of rank he holds, howsoever adverse it is to him affecting his seniority within the rank to which he belongs or his future chances of promotion, does not attract Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India. The remedy is confined to the rules of service governing the post held by Government servant. State of Punjab vs. Shri Kishan Das, 1971 (2) S.LR. 174.
4.
Forfeiture of approved service. Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861, as applicable in the Union Territory of Delhi, had not been amended so as to incorporate the punishment of forfeiture of approved service. The respondents have not even field their counter affidavit. Thus it is to be held that during the relevant period when the said rule was enforced in Delhi the said punishment under Rule 16.1(2) could not be impunishment in question was imposed on the petitioner. Ram Pat vs. Union of India and others, 1984(3) S.LR. 756.
5.
Order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank of the appointing authority. Submission is that the order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank to the appointment is that the order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank to the appointing authority alleged. The submission has no merit because it was a Senior Superintendent of Police who had promoted the petitioner to the rank of Head Constable by the order dated 27.2.1957 and the order of dismissal is by an officer holding the rank of Superintendent of Police. We cannot accept the contention that the dismissing authority was below the rank of the appointing authority. In both cases the authority was a Superintendent of Police. Seniority in service did not cause any disparithy in rank. We find from the observation contained in a Full Bench judgment of his Court in Union of India vs. Surajbhan dated the 23rd of May 1969 by which LPA No. 86-D/65 was disposed of. It was noticed in that judgment that in of Rule 16.1(2) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, a Superintendent of Police was expressly empowered to dismiss even an Assistant Sub-Inspector. The Full Bench

had relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court reported in Union of India vs. Jagit Singh, 1969 Services Law Reporter 356. In our view, the Superintendent of Police was competent to the impugned order of dismissal because he was not subordinate to the authority namely, the Senior Superintendent of Police, by whom the petitioner had been appointed. Shri Ibqal Singh, Ex-Head Constable Police vs. Inspector General of Police, Delhi and others, 1971(2) S.LR. 257 6.
Re-employed—Competency to hold enquiry as Police Officer. A re-employed Deputy Supdt. of Police who had previously retired as Deputy Supdt. of Police, was still a Police Officer after he was re-employed and as such was competent to hold enquiry as Police Officer. Union of Indai vs. Jagit AIR 1970 SC122= 1969 Cur. L.J. 438
7.
Stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service It is undoubtedly true that some punishments would have been emumerated in both parts of Section 7. But there is nothing to suggest that this enumeration is fully exhaustive in nature. The types of punishments which are contemplated by Section 7 in both of its parts are merely enumerative. The section also does not say anything to the effect that no punishment other than that which is specified in the Section could be awarded to a delinquent officer. In our opinion, therefore, it is clear that Section 7 does not debar the rule make authority to prescibe the form of punishment which is not enumerated therein. That being the position, it is not possible to say that the punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service is in any manner contrary to the provisions of Section 7.

1.
Absence without leave-does not amount to gravest act of misconduct. This Court has in a number of cases gone in to the matter in order to find to what would really constitute a gravest act of misconduct. A number of cases have been cited before us but we have chose to pick up only one which deals with the question of absence without leave. In Darshan Singh case, the learned single Judge has held that absence without leave for almost 13 months would not in the circumstance that case amoutn to the gravest act of misconduct. State of Punjab vs. Parlash. Chand, Constable, 1992 (1) S.L.R. 174.
2.
Adequacy or inadequacy of punishment. It must also be mentioned here hat the punishment of dismissal form service should be awarded for gravest act of misconduct. According to rule 19, the punishing authority is to decide whether the punishment awarded is adequate or inadequate. On same principle, while deciding the review petition, the Reviewing Authority is to decide whether the punishment awarded is adequate or inadequate taking in to consideration the length or service, record of service and the nature of charges against the petitioner. Sucha Singh, ExInspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (4) S.L.R. 560.
3.
Amendment-Prior approval of Central Government in Rule 16.2, by virtue of the change effected, does not in any way affect the conditions of service of a police employee. So, the question prior permission of the Central Government before effecting the amendment, as envisaged in Section 82 of the Act, does not arise. State Singh, Countable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1987 (4) S.L.R. 28.
4.
An act of police officer being drunk while on duty is an act of gravest misconduct. The act of a police officer being frank while on duty would amount to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) of the Rules. It is not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mention in the impugned order about the length of service put in by a delinquent officer which was already a part of the record and was wellknown. The learned Single Judge has set aside the impugned order of punishment taking this as the second ground. Accordingly, we upset the reasoning of the learned Single Judge in this regard. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981 (3) S.L.R. 130
5. Claim to pension not considered at the time of ing the order of dismissal. The impugned order doe not indicate that the punishing authority examined the claim of the plaintiff for pension having regard to the length of his service. It is undisputed that the plaintiff had 7-1/2 years service to his credit on the date the order of dismissal was ed. The rule ened upon the disciplinary authority while awarding the punishment of dismissal from service to take into consideration the length of service of the delinquent official and his claim to pension. The impugned order does not indicate that the disciplinary authority took into consideration the length of service of the plaintiff and his claim to pension. The order of dismissal being in violation of the statutory rule was rightly held to be invalid. The judgments of the Courts below suffer from no infirmity. The same are upheld. State of Haryana and another vs. Lachman Singh through L.Rs., 1991(2) RSJ 398 6. Competent authority fully applied his mind before order of dismissal. The order of dismissal ed on 24.4.1976 is illegal and void because no show-cause notice was given to the plaintiff-respondent before ing the impugned order of dismissal. In of his argument the learned counsel has relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court in Divisional Personnel Officer, Southern Railway and another vs. T.R. Challappan, (1976)1 SCR 783, which has been overruled by a later decision of the Supreme Court in Tulsiram Patel’s case (supra). The plaintiff-respondent was convicted and had to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six moths. The Senior Superintendent of Police, who was the appointing authority, ed the impugned order Exhibit P-1 on 20.4.1976 dismissing the plaintiff-respondent from service. The order is a detailed one and it clearly shows that the punishing authority had fully applied its mind while ing the order. No show-cause notice was necessary to be issued to the plaintiff-respondent in this behalf. The impugned order is, therefore, legally valid. The finding of the lower appellate Court on issue Nos. 1 is set aside. Issue No. 1 is, therefore, decided against the plaintiff-respondent. State of Punjab and others vs. Nachhattar Singh, Constable, 19991 (5) S.L.R. 451=1991(1) RSJ 368

The Police Rules, 1934
7. Conviction—Effective date of dismissal. The petitioner shall be presumed to be in the know of rule 16.2 (2). It was, therefore, within the knowledge of the petitioner that he stood dismissed from service in of rule 16.2(2) consequent upon the dismissal of his criminal appeal by the High Court on 28.9.1973. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the impugned order of dismissal shall be effective w.e.f. 3.5.1978 when it was communicated to the petitioner cannot be upheld. The petitioner has been dismissed from police force w.e.f. 30.8.1972 when he was convicted and sentenced by the Sessions Judge, Roper. The petitioner stood dismissed from service or a formal order of his dismissal could be ed w.e.f. 28.9.1973 when his criminal appeal was dismissed by the High Court. The petitioner, therefore shall be taken to have been dismissed from police force w.e.f. 28.9.1973 and not w.e.f. 30.8.1972. Sucha Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 11 8. Departmental enquiry—Failure to hold. The provisions of Article 311(2)(b) have been arbitrarily invoked in this case. The findings have been arrived at the recorded by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, on the basis of suspicion and confidential inquiry. These inquiries cannot take the place of a regular inquiry as envisaged in Article 311(2) of the Constitution, read with Section 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules. I am of the opinion that it was obligatory on the Deputy Inspector General of Police in the present case to hold an inquiry as laid down in Article 311 read with Rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules. Failure to hold an inquiry would render the impugned order of dismissal from service as illegal and void. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991(4) S.L.R. 102 9. Dismissal from service having consumed liquor on duty. No doubt, even a single act of misconduct can, in a given situation, amount to the gravest act of misconduct, but the mandate of the rule making authority is clear that the punishment of dismissal from service has not to be awarded in a misconduct of ordinary nature. Ram Kishan vs. State of Punjab & Ors., 1990 (2) S.L.R. 488 10. Dismissal from service—Limitation. The High Court should have examined the plaint for finding out the cause of action for the suit and then in that light determined the correct article of the Limitation Act applicable to the case. Serious objection has been taken against the observations of the first appellate Court permitting the competent authority to inflict only moron punishment on the plaintiff in certain conditions and the direction about the payment of the salary and the other emoluments. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we agree with the appellants that the question involved in this suit should not have been lightly brushed aside by the high Court in the manner it has been done. We, therefore, set aside the judgment of the High Court and remit the case to if for fresh disposal in accordance with law. It will be open to the appellants to file an application for itting additional evidence in regard to the further orders ed against Kahan Singh subsequent to the civil Court’s decree in his favor, and to argue before the High Court that the case of the present plaintiff is distinguishable. The High Court should call for the records and decide the case finally at the motion stage itself as the case is an old one. In the event of ission of fresh evidence, the high Court shall permit the plaintiff to file relevant rebutting evidence. State of Punjab and others vs. Nachhattar Singh, 1990(4) S.L.R. 264 11. Dismissal from service. Punishment of dismissal from service has not to be awarded in a misconduct of ordinary nature. Ram Krishan Constable No. 141 vs. The State of Haryana through the Director General of Police (Inspector General of Police ), Haryana at Chandigarh and others, 1990(1) RSJ 637 12. Dismissal from service. Second appeal by State dismissed in limine by High Court SLP. Service questions of law involved. Case remanded to High Court for first disposal in accordance with law. State of Punjab and other vs. Nachhattar Singh, 1990(2) RSJ 71 13. Dismissal from service for being absent from duty. A particular act may be grave or the gravest but an act complained of may not be such that is must necessarily prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. The dictionary meaning of work ‘incorrigibility’ is bad, beyond correction or reform. Only such a person can be said to be incorrigible who cannot be reform. Only such a person can be said to be incorrigible who cannot be reformed or corrected. When the word ‘incorrigible’ is used as an adjective, it relates to a person in a particularly given situation may be held guilty of commission one of the gravest acts but the punishing authority may still be of the view that such a person is not incorrigible and he can be reformed or corrected. The punishing authority may also be of the view that a person cannot be described to be one who is completely unfit for police service. State of Haryana vs. Lakhan Lal, 1991(4) S.L.R 82= 1991(3) RSJI 530 14. Dismissal form service on the charge of having committed gravest act of misconduct. It has been held that “no doubt Constable Ranjit Sing at Bakshikhana was responsible for the escape of Jagir Singh but the petitioner does not get absolved of his responsibilities as Incharge of the escort guard”. As it is the case of department itself that the petitioner was not directly responsible as such, but he being over all Incharge, was found guilty for the lapses on his part, it required consideration by the Appellate Authority as regards the punishment awarded. Under these circumstances, the order ed in appeal 04.08.1986 ( Annexure P-3) is quashed with the direction that the matter may be reconsidered by the Deputy Inspector General of Police and appropriate order which he may think fit be ed afresh. Balbir Singh vs. State of Punjab and others 1989(4) S.L.R 42- 1989(2) RSJ 540. 15. Dismissal from service. Constable is found under the influence of liquor while on duty is guilty of such grave misconduct which would entail his dismissal from service/ Ex Const. Koginder Singh vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1990(2) RSJ 757 16. Dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct. The Deputy Inspector-General has, however, made his mention in this impugned order Annexure P.8 the present single act of the appellant is of gravest nature and his case in no way deserves leniency. This observations has been made by the Deputy Inspector General in the context of this service record of the petitioner on the basis of which it was pointed out to him that the petitioner had by that time rendered nine years’ unblemished service and had done commendable work during the Indo-Pak War of 1971. But even this observation or the consideration by the Deputy Inspector General of Police falls for shot of the requirements of sub-rule(1) of Rule 16.2 ibid. It has nowhere been recorded by any of the authorities concerned that the petitioner was guilty of such ‘gravest’ acts of misconduct. The cumulative effect of which can go to prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. In the absence of such a finding the respondent authorities could not resort to the punishment of dismissal on the basis of the charge established against the petitioner. It is beyond dispute that the provisions Rule 16.2 are mandatory in nature and any order in violation of the same has necessarily to be set aside. Sukhdev Singh vs, State of Punjab and others, 1983(2) SLR 645 17. Dismissal Absence from office. After recording the evidence it has been categorically found by the Enquiry Officer in Annexure P.13 that “the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Gurgaon, was obtained on June 2, 1983, but Constable Shiv Charan did not reach Gurgaon till then. Thereupon, the Superintendent of Police ( Irrigation Department ) Chandigrah was approached, who replied that Constable Shiv Charan was relieved from the office on May 17, 1983 and he had not attended the officer thereafter. His whereabouts were required from the given address, but his house found locked.” This is primarily a finding on fact and, therefore, cannot be challenged in this writ petition. There is no error apparent on the face of the record, even if two views were possible form the evidence, the view taken by the Enquiry Officer and the punishing authority could not be said to be illegal as to be interfered with in the writ jurisdiction, The scope of the writ jurisdiction is very limited and it is not in the nature of the appeal. Shiv Charan, Constable vs. The Superintendent of Policem Gurgaon and ors., 1988(3) S.L.R 253 18. Dismissal After conviction in a criminal case. A Government servant cannot be dismissed from service merely on the ground that his conviction was recorded on a criminal charge by a criminal court. In others words dismissal from service after conviction on a criminal charge is not essentially on automatic consequence of said conviction and the competent authority has to consider all the circumstances of the case and then to decide whether the conduct of delinquent official which led to his conviction is such as to render his further retention in public service understandable. In of his submission, the learned counsel relied upon Om Parkash vs. The Director Postal Services ( Posts and Telegraph Deptt ) Punjab Circle, Ambala and others, AIR 1973 Punjab and Haryana 1 and Gurbachan Dass vs. The Chairman, Posts & Telegraphs Board, Ministry of Communication, Government of India, New Dehli and others, 1983(1) SLR 729. In Om Parkash’s case ( Supra ) the Bench was interpreting Rule 19(i) of the Central Civil Service ( Classification, Control and Appeal ) Rules, 1965 ). Interpreting this rule, the Bench held that an order of dismissal or removal or for compulsory retirement can be ed under the rule 19(i) (without conforming to the procedure prescribed in Rule 14 to 18 ) not on the basis of the conviction, but only if the competent authority finds that the relevant misconduct of the Government servants renders his further retention in public service undesirable. An order imposing a punishment on a Government servant simply because of his conviction on of his conviction on a criminal charge without reference to the conduct which led to his conviction on a criminal charge without reference to the conduct which led to his conviction is not sustainable. Randhir Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryan and others 1991(3) S.L.R. 719. 19. Dismissal – Misconduct attributed – Whether was of the ‘gravest’ type. The penalty of dismissal from service can be awarded only for ht gravest act of misconduct and the penalty of dismissal from service could not be imposed on the petitioner on the proved facts and circumstances of the case. It was incumbent on respondent No.3 to come to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was a gravest act of misconduct. It was also necessary for the punishing authority to take into consideration the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension before he could be awarded the penalty of dismissal from service. The disciplinary authority did not take note of the mandatory provisions of the aforesaid sub-rule before ing the order of dismissal.

The disciplinary authority also did not take into consideration the length of service of the petitioner for his claim to pension before awarding the penalty of dismissal . On this ground too, the order of dismissal from service cannot sustained. Bhim Singh vs. State and others, 1991 (3) S.L.R. 721=RSJ 408 20. Dismissal—Review –Property of dismissal. – As to the effect of the order of the Deputy Inspector-General dated 22nd November 1978, setting aside the earlier dismissal order dated 3rd October 1977, ed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, it may observed that the same, VIZ., the earlier order dated 3rd October, 1977, ed by the Superintendent of Police was clearly illegal as it had been ed in violation of the provisions of unamended rule 16.2 of the Police Rules because under the unamended Police Rule 16.2, as already observed, the orders of dismissal have to await the decision of the appeal or the revision, but the Senior Superintendent of Police ed the order of dismissal during the pendency of the appeal. It was, therefore, rightly set aside by Duputy Inspector General of Police by his order dated 22nd November, 1978. The impugned order dated 11th June, 1979 has been ed by the competent authority under rule 16.2 as amended, which of the employee concerned. This order cannot be said to be an order of review of the order of the D.I.G., dated 22nd November, 1978, Satnum Singh, Constable and others vs. State and others, 1987(4)S.L.R 28 21. Expression “the gravest act of misconduct” Meaning of. – The first contention raised on behalf of the petitioners is that although he was ittedly guilty of misconduct, such misconduct could not be classified as “the gravest act of misconduct” within the meaning of the sub-rule. The contention appears to be well-founded. It is true that generally speaking, it is for the punishing authority to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide upon the suitability of punishment and it is not within the ambit of the powers of this Court to interfere with the direction of that authority. But then there is an important exception to this rule and that is the Court will strike down in order which has been ed want only or arbitrarily (vide Bhagwat Parsad vs. Inspector General of Police and others, 1967 SLR 807). In the present case it was incumbent on respondent No. 3, before he could award the punishment of dismissal, to come to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was a “gravest act of misconduct”. It is true that in the context in which that expression is used it does not mean an act which is absolutely the worst act of misconduct and means, on the other hand, an act denoting a very high degree of misconduct he posed to a merely grave or a very grave act of misconduct (Bhagwat Prasad’s case, supra). But then it appears to me that respondent No. 3 when awarding the punishment was not alive to the provisions of the sub-rule otherwise he would not only not have awarded the punishment of dismissal without coming to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was to the “gravest” type but would perhaps not have awarded that punishment at all for the reason that the misconduct even though grave was not of the “gravest” type. The lack of a finding about the misconduct being of the requisite type makes the impugned order arbitrarily in nature and, therefore, liable to be quashed. According to the sub-rule, the punishing authority is duty bound to take into consideration the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension before it can award the penalty of dismissal. The relevant part of the sub-rule is mandatory in character and an order ed in disregard of it cannot be upheld. In the present case the petitioner had to his credit about 27 year, of service on the date when the impugned order was ed and this factor was completely ignored by respondent No. 3 when awarding dismissal. Had the relevant factors been taken into consideration by respondent No. 3 the punishment may well have been much lighter. Gurdev Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1976(2) S.L.R. 442. 22. Grave misconduct – The punishing authority has clearly stated that the act of the respondent being drunk while on duty in broad day light amounted to an act of gravest misconduct as contemplated by rule 16.2(1) and that the impugned order was ed on this basis. While imposing the punishment, it was taken into consideration that the respondent was posted as State House Officer, incharge of Police Station, Ladwa, and while noticing this fact in the impugned order it was clearly established that the punishing authority was aware of the long service of the delinquent officer. As both the things were present to the mind of the punishing authority and he ed a well-considered and detailed order in seven page, we are of the opinion that it is not a fit case for quashing the same with a direction of reconsideration of the matter. The order of dismissal, in our opinion, is well-based and is within the rule and is neither arbitrary nor wanton. For the reasons recorded above, we hold that the act of a police officer being drunk while on duty would amount to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) of the Rules. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981(3) S.L.R. 130 23. Gravest acts of misconduct—Meaning of . It cannot be said that a single act of misconduct however grave, can never result in dismissal. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. The words “gravest acts of misconduct” are incapable of definition. One has to apply one’s mind to the words and give a meaning to each of them in the light of the actual deed, situation and circumstances. “Misconduct” in order to earn the epithet of gravity has to be gross or flagrant. Consequently the degree of misconduct to justify dismissal has to be higher or more serious. The use of the superlative degree appears to be intended to indicate a supereminence, or a very high degree of misconduct, and not, that the degree should be so high or so low as cannot be outclassed or excelled. It is for the Police Officer who Judge the infraction of the Police Rules to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide upon the suitability of the punishment. It will not be within the powers of the High Court, when petitioned to issue writ of certiorari, mandamus, etc., to interfere with the discretion of the heads of the departments when it has not been exercised want only or arbitrarily. The reasons which induce the punishing authority, if there has been an enquiry consistent with the prescribed rules, are not justiciable; nor is the penalty open to review. Bhagat Parshad vs. Inspector-General of Police, AIR 1970 Punjab 81 = 1970 P.L.R. (S.N.) 2. 24. Gravest act of misconduct while not being capable of being put in a strait jacket – In Bhagwat Parsad’s case the word ‘misconduct’ used in the rule has been analyzed and it has been emphasized that a distinction has to be drawn between ‘misconduct’, ‘simplicities’ and ‘grave misconduct’. It has also been held that the gravest act of misconduct while not being capable of being put in a strait jacket or confined to a definition must, however, relate to an action which is of the utmost gravity and grossly flagrant. It implies a matter of the utmost seriousness. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 25. Gravest misconduct – This Court is of the considered view that even one act of misconduct would be sufficient to attract the applicability of rule 16.2(1) provided the act is gravest. The gravest act, of course, is incapable of any strict definition. The distinction has to be drawn by the punishing authority between misconduct and grave misconduct. Misconduct should not be of an ordinary nature and it has to be of a serious nature. The use of the word ‘gravest’ only means that it has to be of a superlative degree than what a particular act can just be described to be ‘grave’. The gravest act does not mean that the number of acts complained of should be more than one. The use of the word ‘act’ in rule 16.2(1) can be said to include a single gravest act of misconduct. It has to be held order to give effect to the legislative intendment that the word used in plural in rule 16.2(1) would be deemed to include the ‘singular’. If the punishing authority comes to the conclusion that a particular act of the police official was one of the gravest, surely it would not be necessary to wait for the commission of a second act of grave nature by the police official. If such an interpretation is to be taken to the words ‘gravest’ acts of misconduct’, the delinquent police official would commit a heinous crime in order to contend that he does not fall within the mischief of rule 16.2(1). In view thereof a single act of misconduct of gravest nature is good enough for invoking the aid of rule 16.2(1) to award punishment of dismissal. However, a single act or number of acts of misconduct of a police official must prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. Sate of Haryana vs. Lakhan Lal, 1991(4) S.L.R. 82 = 1991(3) RSJ 530. 26. Meaning of word ‘Acts of Misconduct’ – The contention that there must be plurality of acts of misconduct does not appear to me to be sound as this interpretation can lead to absurd results. Taking an extreme illustration, can it be said, that the framers of the Police Rules contemplated, that if a foot constable were to subject a high police officer to a wanton and serious assault, or were to be guilty of a single act of gross insubordination, the punishment of dismissal could not be imposed, unless such conduct was repeated at least once. The use of the word ‘acts’ does not exclude a single act of misconduct. In order to give effect to the legislative intent, the words in plural number may be construed to include the singular; and the words importing the singular only, may be applied to plurality of acts, things of persons. In order to gauge gravity of misconduct, what matters, is not frequency, as obliquity or delinquency. I cannot persuade myself to accept the argument that a single act of misconduct, howsoever grave, can never result in dismissal. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. “Misconduct” is a generic term and means “to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; bad behaviour; unlawful behaviour or conduct”. It includes malfeasance, misdemenanour, delinquency and offence. The term “misconduct” does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. Bhagwat Parsad vs. Inspector General of Police and others, 1967 S.L.R. 807. 27. Mere absence from duty for a few days does not amount to an act of gravest misconduct – Achhar Singh respondent ed service of the Police Department at Amritsar on 12th July, 1956, as a Constable. A departmental inquiry was initiated against him on the allegation that on 19th December, 1975, he was found absent from duty at the time of evening roll call and remained absent from duty for seven days without obtaining any leave or prior permission. This act was considered by the authorities as a “gross misconduct” on his part and an inquiry was ordered against him as a result of which he was dismissed from service. This order was challenged in a civil suit but the same was dismissed. In appeal, the learned lower appellate Court reversed the finding of the trial Court and decreed the suit of the plaintiff and after thorough consideration of the evidence on record came to the conclusion that dismissal form service of the plaintiff-respondent on this ground was wholly arbitrary and violative of Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Rules 1934. After hearing the leaned counsel for the appellant, I am in complete agreement with the conclusion arrived at by the leaned lower appellate Court. The mere absence form duty for a few days does not amount to an act of gravest misconduct the cumulative effect of which may go to prove incorrigibility http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

and complete unfitness of the employee for Police service. Therefore, dismissal form service on such a charge cannot be upheld. Absence form duty State of Punajb and another vs. Achhar Singh 1991 (4) S.L.R. 539. 28. Misconduct-Meaning of. “Misconduct” is generic term and means “ to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; had behaviour; unlawful offence. The term “misconduct” does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. Bhagwat parshad vs. Inspector-General of Police Punjab AIR 1970 Punjab 81. 29. Nature of Rule 16.2. Operation of amendment Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules is procedural one which are always retrospective in nature unless expressly made prospective. Satnam Singh, Constable and other vs. State of Punjab and other 1987 (4) S.L.R. 28. 30. New Plea- No grouse made before the appellate authority. Not only that, the plaintiff did not file any reply to the show case notice. The Deputy Inspector General of Police while dealing with the appeal specifically observed, “ that the appellant, however did not submit any reply to the show case notice. There no mistigating circumstances in this case to justify any lenient view of the misconduct. “It appears that the plantiff never made many grouse on this score before the authorities concerned and that being so he cannot be allowed to agitate this point in the suit. State of Punjab and others vs. Ex-Constable no. 500 Buir Singh 1987 (5) SL.R. 175. 31. Non-observation of the provisions of Rule 16.2 (1) of the Rules. The order of dismissal form service ed in this case is clearly appeased tot he mandatory provisions of Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules. Lately, it is difficult to appreciate when the Inspector Sham Nath has been ordered to be reinstated after the judgment of the District Judge dated 26.8.1986 ( Annexure P.2) and the order of the High Court dated 16.1.1987 ( Annexure P.3) whey the petitioner who stands in the same position should be dismissed form service. This shows that the order ed in this case is clearly discriminatory and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Moreover, the appellate authority did not afford any personal hearing to the petitioner before dismissing the appeal. It has been authoritatively laid down by the Supreme Court that in a case where pre-decisional inquiry is not held, as contemplated under Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, it is obligatory on the appellate authority to give personal hearing to the officer concerned. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991 (4) S.L.R. 102=1992 (3) RSJ 512. 32. Order of dismissal based upon the conviction. Order of the dismissal was based upon the conviction of the petitioner. Placing reliance upon the provision of the unattended sub-rule (2) of Rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules , 1934, the authorities concerned considered that the petitioner had become disqualified for being retained in service because of his having suffered the conviction mentioned in the impugned order. In that view of the matter it is not possible to hold that in of the unattended rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934, the order of dismissal would not be against the provisions of Section 12 of Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. Order of dismissal did not show that it was based merely on the conviction and that the competent authority had ever by itself considered the nature and gravity of the offence and had recorded its own conclusion that the retention of the petition in service was prima facie undesirable. In view of the clear language of the impugned order of dismissal the competent authority could not place reliance on the amended sub-rule (2) of Rule 16.2 Punjab Police Rules 1934. Shri Iqbal Sindh, E Head Constable Police vs. Inspector General of Police, Delhi and others, (1971 (2) S.L.R. 257 33. Order of dismissal not indicating that the punishing authority was alive to the length of service of the petitioner. The punishing authority was not alive to the fact regarding length of service, previous service record and the conditions in which the incident of firing had taken place. The part played by the delinquent was also not taken in to consideration. Even assuming the act to be the gravest act of misconduct, the second part of the rule, has not been complied with, as the complete unfitness for police service, the length of service, incorrigibility and claim to pension had not been considered. In the order also there is no indication that the punishing authority was alive to the above-said elements of the rule. Apparently, there is a complete violation of rule 16.2 of the Police rules. The counsel for the appellant has not been complied with. The Division Bench judgment cited by him has no parallel on the facts of the present case and the said judgment was on it own facts which are not pari materia with the facts of the present case. Punjab state and another vs. Balwant Singh Ex-Constable, 1989(4) S.L.R 105. 34. Order of removal not disclosing that officer were conscious of the existence of Rule 16.2. Order of the Superintendent of Police and the Inspector General of Police, Annexure P.6 and P.10 respectively do not disclose that those officers were even conscious of the existence of this Rule. These orders are completely silent so far as this aspect of the matter is concerned. The Deputy Inspector-General has, however, made this mention in this impugned order Annexure P.8 the present single act of the appellant is of gravest nature and his case is no way deserve leniency. This observation has been made by the Deputy Inspector general in the context of the service record of the petitioner on the basis of which it was pointed out to him that the petitioner had by that time rendered nine year’s unblemished service and had done commendable work during the Ido-Pal War of 1971. But even this observation or the consideration by the Deputy Inspector General of Police fails far short of the requirements of sub-rule (1) of Rule 16.2 ibid. it has now here been recorded by any of the authorities concerned that the petitioner was guilty of such ‘ gravest’ acts of misconduct, the cumulative effect which can go to prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. Ram Partap Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1989 (4) S.L.R 50= 1989 (2) RSK 566 35. Period of absence of the petitioner after he was suspended. Absence of 174 days could not be a ground for dismissal of the petitioner. the period prior to his suspension was hardly about 46 days. It is not for this Court to adjudicate as to whether on proof of the allegation of absence of 46 days. Munshi Ram vs. State of Haryana 1991(2) RSJ 345. 36. Petitioner along with other Constable who participated in the drinking and firing dismissed. After going through the enquiry file exhibit P. 3, it can be safely concluded that there is nothing on the record to show that the punishing authority was alive to the mandatory requirements of the rules or the fact regarding his length of service was considered. the service record was not on the enquiry file. The punishing authority was not alive to the situation or the circumstance in which the firing had taken place. He further contends that the State has in the case of a co-delinquent officer accepted the civil Court’s verdict holding the impugned order bad and has reinstated him. The State cannot be permitted to deal with the persons accused of the same laps in the same incident differently, in particular when the facts attributed to the other delinquent are of more serious nature. He further contends that since the order of dismissal has been e in violation of the mandatory provisions of law, that is rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules, it is void order and need not be got seld aside as there is no requirement of law to get a void order set aside. Punjab State and another vs. Balwant Singh, Ex-Constable, 1989 (4) S.L.R. 105. 37. Punishing Authority not recorded any finding that the act of the respondent amounts to the gravest act of misconduct. It is essential for the Punishing Authority to apply its mind and to record a specific finding as to whether the conduct of the delinquent official which has been complained of is of such grave nature that it must lead inflexibly to his dismissal. As already indicated above, reliance has also been placed by the respondent on Gurdev Singh’s case, in which the respective scope of rules 16.2 and 16.24 (1) were discussed. It was held by the learned single Judge that that it was incumbent upon the Punishing Authority to record a finding that the misconduct attributed to the delinquent official was the gravest act of misconduct and in the absence of such a finding the order could not be sustained. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable 1992 (1) S.L.R. 174. 38. Punishment imposed wholly disproportionate to misconduct and not warranting dismissal form service. The punishment for the misconduct with ASI Ganapat Ram that he can do what ever he likes, cannot be constructed as a gravest act misconduct deserving dismissal from service. The Dy. Inspector General of Police has come to conclusion that the charge was of misbehaving in rude and insubordinate manner and that had been established against the appellant. As we have extracted the allegation of charge and summary of allegations, it nowhere state that he behaved in a rude and insubordinate manner. The police is a disciplined force and the gravest act of misconduct can be a justification for an order of dismissal. The appellant was shabbily dressed and his hair were not cut. The ASI asked the appellant the reasons for not being properly dressed and why he did not get his hair cut. The appellant did tell the ASI that “ Cutting Karai To Hai” and Meri Bhi Vesi Hai Jaisi Auron Ki Hai”. This misbehavior does not warrant an order of dismissal form service. We are satisfied that the punishment imposed is so wholly disproportionate to the misconduct that it pricks our conscience. Kem Chand Constable vs. Union of India and others 1989 (5) S.L.R. 503= 1989 (2) RSK 179. 39. Punishment of dismissal cab only be awarded on the ground of gravest act of misconduct. The dismissal order could be ed only if the act attributed was he gravest act of misconduct or the cumulative effect of continued misconduct proved incorrigibility and complete unfitness of police service. Punjab State vs. Singh, Ex-Head Constable 1988(7) S.L.R. 493 40. Punishment of dismissal to be imposed only in cases of grave misconduct. If Rule 16.2 (1) of the Punjab Police Rules and Rule 8 read with Rule 10 of the Delhi Police Punishment and Appeal Rules 1980 are compared it may be seen that there is no inconsistency between them. In fact, both the provisions state that the misconduct must be very ‘ grave’ and continued, indicating incorrigibility and complete unfitness for Police service. It is thus seen that while awarding the sentence the Disciplinary Authority must applets mind closely to the nature of the misconduct. it must be very grave. It cannot be said that the temporary misappropriation of a utensil from a mess is such a grave misconduct. But what is more important is that neither the Disciplinary Authority nor the Applied their min d to the requirement of the statutory provisions before warding the sentence of dismissal. It was incumbent on the said Authorities to look to the past record of the petitioner and to find out whether there is any history of “ Continued misconduct” Neither the order of the Disciplinary Authority nor the order of the Appellate Authority disclose any past record of the petitioner. The requirement of http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
the statutory provision is that it may be shown that the delinquent is incorrigible. A history of past record showing the proceedings or warnings to the petitioner would have thrown light on this aspect of the misbehavior but the orders are silent. So also the rules require that a delinquent must be found to be complete unfit for working in the police force. This is in contradistinction to the unfitness to work in a particular rank. The Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority have not looked at this aspect of misconduct also. Considering the nature of the misconduct and the statutory requirements I hold hat the discretion has not been properly exercised by the Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority and the punishment of dismissal is awarded in branch of the said statutory requirements. The punishment is too serve as compared to the misconduct . Sukbir Singh vs. the Deputy Commissioner of police, New Delhi and others, 1984 (2) S.L.R. 149. 41. Punishment not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mention in the impugned order. We also agree with the leaned counsel for the State that is not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mentioned in the impugned, order about he length of service put in by a delinquent officer which was already a part of the record and was well-known. The learned Single Judge had set aside the impugned order of punishment taking this as the second ground. Accordingly, we set the reasoning of the leaned Single Judge in this regard. This in view of the said judgment in the Letter Patent Appeal, the appeal is liable to be accepted. State of Punjab and others vs. Ex-Constable No. 500 Bur Singh, 1987 (5) S.L.R. 175. 42. Punishment whether proportionate to allegations. As regards that protection of rule 16.2 (I) claimed by the petitioner the rule reads as follows, 16 .2 (I) dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct or as the cumulative effect of continued misconduct proving incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. In making such an award regard shall be to the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension “ Form the impugned order dated 24.2. 79, it is clear that the petitioner under the influence of liquor demanded more liquor form private person within his jurisdiction and demanded English liquor on the pretext of given g the same to the S.P. and DSP to get some transfer order cancelled. He also demanded money from the same person and threatened him with knife when he expressed his inability to pay that mount. Then the petitioner is allege to have taken Rs. 50 from another person and beat a third person. A number of people collected and caught him and handed him over to the police. Thus, the alleged conduct of the petitioner comprised being under the influence of liquor in public place demanding money and liquor from another person, falsely implicating higher officers on his illegal acts, infliction injuries on another person and unruly behaviour in presence of of public. We feel that the order of dismissal cannot be said to be disproportionately harsh as compared to the reprehensible conduct of the petitioner. As regards violation of the provisions of Rule 16.3 and 16.38 we find that rule 16.3 regarding removal from promotion list is not relevant to the case. As regards 16.38 we agree with the respondents that giving information to the District Magistrate as prescribed in this rule is mandatory when any complaint is received by the S.P. indicating commission by a police officer to a criminal offence in connection with the official relations with the public. Since in this case the petitioner was not discharging his duties vis-à-vis persons from whom he demand liquor and money but acting in his individual capacity, provisions of rule 16.38 are not attracted. Mehak Singh Union of India etc., 1987(2) S.L.R. 357 43. Revision. An application for mercy is competent only in case where the order is ed by the Inspector General himself and in such a case no revision lies to him. Inspector General of Police vs. Balbir Singh, 1937 Cur. LJ 376 44. Rule talks of gravest acts of misconduct. It was held that the said part of the sub-rule was mandatory in character and the order ed in disregard of it could not be upheld. The same view was taken in an unreported short decision in Civil Writ Petition No. 3037 of 1977 by a division Bench consisting of A.D. Koshal and R.N. Mittal, JJ (as their Lordships then were). It was held that it was incumbent on the Appointing Authority to take into consideration the provisions of Rule 16.2 before awarding the penalty of dismissal from service and same having not been considered by the Authorities, the order of dismissal was quashed, by order dated 16.11.1977. The same view has been followed in two decisions in Rattan Lal, ExConstable vs. The State of Haryaba and others, 1983(2) SLR 645. I have gone through the order of dismissal ed by the Superintendent of Police as well as the orders ed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in appeal and revision respectively. The Superintendent of Police in his order held that the respondent was on an important duty as Gumman with the Deputy Commissioner and the misconduct proved against him amounted to serious infraction of discipline while being a Member of the Disciplined Force. There is nothing in the order to even remotely suggest that the Punishing Authority was alive to the provision s of rule 16.2, either with regard tot eh gravity of the misconduct or the delinquent being habitual in indulging in gravest type of misconduct or that he had put in, as I am informed at the Bar about 17 years of service, and would qualify for pension after putting another three- four year’s service. The order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police in appeal also fails to show that he had in mind the provision of the above rule while disposing of the appeal. In the order of the Inspector-General of Police, all that was that the misconduct on the part of the alleged delinquent was “very grave” and that he was rightly dismissed from service. Again, there was nothing to show in the order that provision of the above rule were kept in view. As the provision of rule 16.2 have been held to be mandatory, failure of the authorities to take due notice of the same and ed and appropriate order is suffuicient to vitiate the order. State of Punjab and another vs. Ram Singh, 1989(3) S.L.R. 629=1992(3) R.S.I 508. 45. Suitability of punishment awarded by the head of department. A constable had conducted an unauthorised check on Ambala Jagadhri Road alongwith another constable by posing as traffic police official and during that checking illegally obtained money from certain truck drivers. Lateron, a departmental enquiry was started and an order of dismissal was ed by the competent authority which was challenged in the writ petition in this Court. While upholding the order of dismissal, it was hled that it is for the police officers to judge the infraction of the Police Rules to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide about the suitability of the punishment and that it is not within the ambit of the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court to interfere with the discretion of the head of the department unless it is shown that the discretion has been exercised wantonly or arbitrarily. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981(3) S.L.R. 130. 46. Term ‘Misconduct’ does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. As we read Section 7 and Rule 16.2, dismissal can be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct. We will assume that the charge as laid in summary of allegations is clearly established. The appellant was shabbily dressed and had not got his hair cut while posted at Guard duty at RTC Mehrauli. He was checked by ASI Ganpat Ram when he misbehave with ASI Ganpat Ram and told him to do whatever he likes. The averment on the record before the Enquiry Officer of the appellant is that he told the ASI that “Cutting Karai to Hai” and as regards the shabby dress he said that “Meri Bhi Waisi Hai Jaisi Auron Ki Hai”. This is certainly as act of misbehaviour as also telling the ASI to do whatever he likes. But the misconduct has to be construed for the purposes of punishment within the meaning of Section 7 and Rule16.2. “Misconduct” is generic term and means “to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; bad behavious; unlawful behaviour or conduct”. It includes malfeasance, misdemeanour, delinquency and offence. The term ‘misconduct does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent.

Termination – Whether incumbent upon the authority before awarding the punishment to take into consideration the length of service and claim to pension of the delinquent employees. In of his contention the learned counsel relied upon State of Orissa and others vs. Bidyabhushan Mohapatra, AIR 1963 SC 779 and Baldev Singh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1985(3) SLR 657 (Pb. & Hry.). Bidyabhushan Mohapatra’s case (supra) has been cited for the proposition that once and authority prima facie comes to a conclusion on the basis of enquiry that person is guilty of the charges leveled, then it is not within the ambit of the Court to find fault with punishment awarded by the authority concerned. The lower appellate Court for its view that it was incumbent upon the authority before awarding the punishment to take into consideration the length of service and claim to pension of the plaintlff relied upon the judgment reported as Gurdev Singh vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1976(2) SLR 442. The learned counsel for the appellant has contended that in view taken in Gurdev Singh’s case (supra) has been reversed by the Division bench in Baldev Singh’s case (supra) and in this view of the matter prayed that the impugned judgment is liable to be set aside. State of Haryana vs. Tek Singh 1992(4) S.L.R. 213=1992(2) RSI 682. 16.3.

the criminal charge has failed on technical grounds; or
(b)

1. Acquitted by the Criminal Court. A police officer who is acquitted in a criminal court cannot be tried departmentally on the same charge or on a different charge upon the evidence cited in the criminal case, whether actually led or not. Amin Lal vs. The state of Punjab 1965 Cur. L.J. 509=1967 P.L.R. (S.N) 89. Survey of judicial opinion seems to point to a preponderating preference for the middle view which is that when there is a substantial acquittal of the accused on the criminal charge there should not be a departmental proceeding against him in respect of the same charge on the same facts unless there are present conditions like the acquittal being on a technical ground or establishing conduct which would make it unworthy of the said office continue in office etc. Some of these ideas find concrete expression in P.P.R. 16.3 . Shri Kundan Lal vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and others, 1976(1) S.L.R. 133 2. Acquittal of Police Officer by Criminal Court on technical ground. It was, thus a case where the criminal charge failed on a technical ground that is, the absence of the complainant on the date of the hearing and not because the charge had been enquired into but had not been substantiated. The fact, that another trial court not be held in a criminal Court against the petitioner on the same charge because of his acquittal under Section 247 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, will not bar the departmental proceeding being taken against him in respect of the same charge and on the same evidence. I am, therefore, of the opinion that Superintendent of Police rightly decided to hold departmental proceedings against the petitioner and obtained the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police for holding the same. The proceedings with regard to obtaining the sanction of the District Magistrate under rule 16.38(1) and (2) were unnecessary and can be treated as useless surplus ages. The Inquiry Officer could be appointed by the Superintendent of Police after the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police had been obtained and the mere fact that the Superintendent of Police also obtained the sanction of the District Magistrate did not, in my opinion vitiate the appointment of the Inquiry Officer by him and the enquiry held by that enquiry Officer. The petitioner has not challenged the proceedings of the enquiry before the Inquiry Officer. Shri Prem Kumar, in the writ petition and for this reason no fault can be found with the show cause notice issued to the petitioner by the Superintendent of Police on October 19, 1965. Gurdev Singh, Sub Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab through the Inspector of Police, Punjab and another, 1970 S.L.R 886. 3. Departmental Inquiry. Fact forming basis of departmental inquiry found not unconnected with charge in criminal case. 1965 Cur. LJ 509 4. Double jeopardy.. Acquittal by a criminal court. Of course, if the above said rule is applicable to the present case, then it may be argued that the same having not been complied with, the enquiry was vitiated and the subsequent orders based thereon are also vitiated, but in the present case, the lower appellate Court found that the charge, of which the plaintiff was found guilty, did not relate to a matter which has any relation with the public. It did have a relation with his exercising proper and efficient supervision and control over the s Branch of which he was the head, in which he had failed. This charge can hardly be termed to be an offence in connection with his official relations with the public. Thus, the plaintiff was not entitled to invoke the said provisions of the Rules. Ram Rakha Joshi (Retd.) A.S.I. Punjab Police vs. State of Punjab, 1984(1) S.L.R. 404 5. Double Jeopardy – Acquitted in criminal case. The only exception left is the one enumerated at clause (b), that is, “in the opinion of the Superintendent of Police, the prosecution witnesses have been won over”. A close scrutiny of the judgment of the criminal Court would show that the accused persons were acquitted not because the prosecution witnesses were won over but because there were fundamental infirmities in the prosecution case which had damaged its veracity. The only witness alleged to have been won over was one Banta Singh (P.W.) of which the Criminal Court did not even take any notice. Thus, the initiation of a departmental inquiry by invoking the provisions of Rule 16-3 ibid, after Constable Mohinder Pal had been acquitted by a criminal Court, was wholly without jurisdiction and contrary to the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. Otherwise also there is hardly any material in of the charge against the petitioner in the departmental inquiry on the basis whereof the charge could be sustained justifying his dismissal from service. Mohinder pal vs. State of Punjab and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 266 6. Double Jeopardy – Departmental enquiry. The order initiating the inquiry as also the show cause notice clearly indicate that the petitioner is being proceeded against exactly on the same charge which were contained in the F.I.R. and he was discharged. The relevant rule which ittedly is applicable in Delhi is rule 16-3 of the Punjab Police Rules. This rule has been interpreted by this Court in various authorities but, in my opinion, it is necessary to refer to any of the judgment in view of the clear writing of rule itself. However, I would refer to only Kundal Lal vs. Delhi istration. The learned counsel for the respondent contends that under rule 16-3(1)(d), the department could proceed with the departmental inquiry and in this case they were acting under the said sub-rule. A mere reading of the order and the show cause reproduced above, would show that this argument is untenable and cannot be accepted. The department is not proceeding on the facts unconnected with the charge before the Court which justified the departmental proceedings on a different charge but is proceeding exactly on the same charges which were subject matter of the trial before the competent Criminal Court. Shri Sahib Ram vs. Delhi istration and others, 1984(2) S.L.R. 133 7. Enquiry officer not to sit-in judgment over the decision of the criminal Court. Where the acquittal is substantially on merits, on identical facts and charges, it will not be proper for a disciplinary Tribunal to record a finding of guilt, and to punish, the employee thereon. This would be a basic principle of jurisprudence and it would make no difference that the departmental authority acts before the criminal proceedings or after it and the Court, in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, would be justified in striking down the action based on such finding, as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice. Examining the findings of the Enquiry Officer we find that he had examined the very persons, who were examined in the criminal case and on the same material and the circumstances, the Enquiry Officer came to a contrary conclusion. He purported to examine the evidence adduced before him as if he was deciding a Sessions case. Evidently, the Enquiry Officer would have no power to sit as an appellate Court of the Additional Sessions Judge. It is, therefore, clear that the petitioner’s acquittal was not on any technical grounds, nor was it n the basis that he eas given the benefit of doubt. In fact, the prosecution had miserably failed to prove its case, either by direct or by circumstantial evidence. As such, the acquittal was on of the prosecution failure to bring home guilt to the accused without establishing any incriminating circumstances, although inconclusive. The next question will be whether the judgment of acquittal itself indicate that the petitioner’s retention in Police Service could be undesirable. In our opinion the judgment does not give any indication of such type. In the criminal Court, the prosecution had not only failed to establish any incriminating circumstances, either by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence, but also had failed to establish any motive, whatsoever. In view of these facts, the Enquiry Officer could not purport to function as a Court of law nad re-examine the very material, which had been put up before the Sessions Judge. The attempt of the Enquiry Officer was to function as an appellate Court of the Additional Sessions Judge and to come to a contrary conclusion upon the same material, which had been adduced in the Sessions Court. This, evidently the Enquiry Officer could not have done on the principles laid down by their Lordships of the Supreme Court in State of M.P. vs. Qumrali Wehidali. Harinaryan Dubey vs. sate of Madhya Pradesh and others, 1976(1) S.L.R. 585 8. Found drunk while on duty –Dismissed after departmental enquiry. The plea raised by the petitioner is that a single act of having been found under the influence of liquor while on duty would not amount to a very grave act or misconduct which would render him incorrigible and complete unfitness for police service. In of his contention the learned counsel for the petitioner had cited an unreported judgment in http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
Dharampal vs. The State of Haryana and others, CWP No.4680 of 1987 decided by Amarjeet Chaundhary, J. on 10.3.1989 and Phool Singh vs. State of Haryana and other, 1989(6) SLR 138 decided by Jai Singh Sekhon, J. So far as the judgment of Jai Singh Sekhon, J. in Phool Singh’s case (supra) is cerned, the same is distinguishable as that was a case of constable who was under suspension and absented himself from duty and under the circumstances it was held that absence from duty of a police official who was under suspension would not amount to a grave act of misconduct which would entail the punishment of dismissal. So far as the judgment in Dharampal’s case (supra) is concerned, of course, that does not help the petitioner. In this case Amarjeet Chaudhary, J. has held that the punishment of dismissal awarded in that case to the petitioner who was found under the influence of liquor while on duty was not proportionate to the charges levelled against him. It has been further held that this court would not interfere regarding suitability of the punishment awarded by the head of department unless it is shown that the discretion has been exercised wantonly or arbitrarily. I am bound to follow the judgment of the Division Bench, referred to above, in preference to the judgment of Amarjeet Chaudhary, J. I find that conduct of the petitioner was such which amounted to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) and which merited the punishment of dismissal from service. The petitioner being a constable who belongs to a disciplined force had to act with some sense of responsibility. Thus, I find no force in the contention raised by the petitioner. Joginder Singh, Ex0 Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1990(5) S.L.R. 515 = (1950-1988) 1 RSI 12 9. Judgment of criminal court. Did not suggest acquittal on technical ground or suspicion resting upon Police Officer. 1965 Cur. LJ 509 16.4 Reduction.—(1) A police officer may be reduced (a) to a lower rank (except in the case of Sergeants and of Constables on the phase-scale); (b) from the selection grade of a rank to the time-scale of the same rank; (c) it in a graded rank, to a lower position in the seniority list of his grade or to a lower grade in his rank. A police of ficer so reduced shall be placed in the time-scale to which he is reduced, whether from higher rank or from the selection grade of the same rank, at the point to which his approved service entitles him, but below the efficiency bar, if any. An officer reduced in rank shall not be placed in the selection grade of the rank to which he is reduced. (2) An upper subordinate shall not ordinarily be reduced to the rank of Head Constable, unless he has been promoted from that rank and is capable of performing the duties of a Head Constable. If he is absolutely unfitted for his position or for that of a Head Constable, he shall be dismissed, and not reduced in rank. (3) A Head Constable reduced dto the rank of Constable shall ordinarily occupy a position in the gradation list of Constables according to the length of his approved service. SYNOPSIS 1. Word ‘rank’—Meaning of. COMMENTS 1. Word ‘rank’—Meaning of. No doubt some of the dictionary meanings of the word to tend to the stand urged on the side of the petitioner, but in view of the meaning given to this word by their Lordships of the Supreme Court in the High Court, Calcutta vs. Amal Kumar Roy. A.I.R. 1962 S.C. 1704, the ordinary meanings of that word cannot be taken and the meanings of the word that have to be applied are those given by their Lordships in the judgment of that case. In that case a Munsif in the West Bengal Civil Service (Judicial) having been ed over for promotion to the post of a Subordinate Judge, when he came to the promoted to that post, he stood eight places below as compared to the place where he would have been had he been promoted in his own turn at the proper time. It was urged that his lowering of seniority by eight places in this matter was reduction in rank. Their Lordships observed :- @INDENT2 = “In our opinion, there is no substance in this contention because losing places in the same cadre, namely, of subordinate Judges does not amount to reduction in rank, within the meaning of Article 311(2). The plaintiff sought to argue that ‘rank’, in accordance with dictionary meaning, signifies ‘relative position or status or places’, according to Oxford English Dictionary. The word ‘rank’ can be and has been used in different senses in different contexts. The expression ‘rank’ in Article 311(2) has reference to a person’s classification and not his particulars place in the same cadre in the hierarchy of the service to which he belongs. Hence, in the context of the Judicial Service of West Bengal, ‘reduction in rank’ would imply that a person who is already holding the post of a Subordinate Judge has been reduced to the position of a Munsif, the rank of a Subordinate Judge being higher than that of a Munsif. But Subordinate Judges in the same cadre hold the same rank, though they have to be listed in order of seniority in the Civil List. Therefore, losing some places in the seniority list is not tantmount to reduction in rank”. This was again approved by their Lordships in the Divisional Personnal Officer, Southern Railway, Mysore vs. S. Raghavendrachar, A.I.R. 1966 S.C. 1529. So, it is the meaning of the word ‘rank’ as given by their Lordships in sub-article (2) of Article 311 that negatives the case of the present petitioner in spite of his losing two places in seniority and also losing two steps in his time-scale by the forfeiture of two years of his pay permanently. The reason is that he remains still Head Constable and in the rank of Head Constables. By the lowering of his seniority or by the lowering of his pay by two steps in the timescale he does not cease to remain in the rank of Head Constables. He is still there very much in that rank, and merely because he has lost seniority or has been lowered by two steps in the time-scale of his pay, which slightly lowers his in his own rank and it is reduction in so far as it affects his seniority under sub-rule (1) of rule 16-4, it is nor reduction in rank as that expression is used in sub-article (2) of Article 311 of the Constitution, inasmuch as it does not lower the rank of the petitioner. Ranjit Singh, Head Constable vs. Commandant P.A.P. Jullundur Cantt. And others, 1967 S.L.R. 543 16-5. Stoppage of increments. [For Punjab -- or Forfeiture of approved service for increment] -- The increment of a police officer on a time-scale may be withheld as a punishment. The order must state definitely the period for which the increment is withheld, and whether the postponement shall have the effect of postponing future increments. The detailed orders regarding the grant and stoppage of increments are contained in rule 13-2. ( Sub-Rules 2 and 2 for Punjab ) (2) Approved service for increment may be forfeited, either temporarily or permanently, and such forfeiture may entail the deferment of an increment or increments or a reduction in pay. The order must state whether the forfeiture of approved service is to be permanent, or, if not, the period for which it has been forfeited. (3) Reinstatement on the expiry of a period fixed under sub-rule9(1) or (2) above shall be conditional upon good conduct in the interval, but, if it is desired under this rule not to reinstated an officer, a separate order shall be recorded, after the officer concerned ha been given opportunity to show cause whey his reinstatement should not be deferred, and the period for which such order shall have effect, shall be stated. Rules regarding the method of recording punishments under this rule in seniority rolls are contained in Chapter X. 16-6. Confinement to quarters. – A Constable confined to quarters shall be confined in the lock-up attached to the police quarter guard. While so confined he shall perform punishment drill or may be employed instead on any authorized fatigue duty. He shall not leave the lock-up during the period of his confinement, except under escort of one or more Constables in uniform, and in accordance with the order, general or specific, of an officer of status not less than that of Lines Officer. 16-7. Punishment drill. – (1) Punishment drill shall consist of drill with a musket and rolled great-coat for not more than six or less than four hours in any one day, with an interval of at least 30 minutes between each hour. Only such days shall be counted towards the completion of an award of punishment drill on which such drill is actually carried out. (2) An officer rewarding punishment drill may direct that the constable so punished, if attached to the reserve, shall not leave the lines, except on duty, during the days on which such punishment is to be carried out. 16-8. Censures. – A censure shall be recorded in the character roll of a police officer only under the following conditions:--(i)
Censures shall be ed by a formal order in the order book.
(ii)
No censure shall be recorded by an Assistant or Deputy Superintendent of Police, without the prior approval of the Superintendent, in the character roll of any officer whom he is not empowered under rule 16-1(2) to punish.
(iii)
A District Magistrate is authorised subject to the limitations press cribed in clause (iv) below, to record a censure in the character roll of any enrolled police officer.

The Police Rules, 1934 (iv)
A censure, whether recorded by a District Magistrate or a police officer is required to be confined to facts and deductions from such facts. Statements or expressions of opinion amounting to charges of a kind which, if proved, would involve a major punishment shall not be so recorded. Such statements should form the basis of a formal enquiry at which the officer against whom they are made has the opportunity of making his defence. Their record in character rolls ex-prate is prohibited.
16.9. Maintenance of discipline.—Discipline shall be maintained by patient and continuous instruction, combined with firm, vigorous and sustained control. Superintendents and officers subordinate to them having power to punish shall endeavor to check neglect and misconduct in their subordinates, which appear to be due to ignorance or inattention and not to will full disobedience, by clear instruction and careful explanation. They shall as far as possible, avoid the constant infliction of minor punishments, and shall, in all cases in which they inflict punishment, their orders after full consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and of the character and position of the officer punished. If the previous record of an officer, against whom charges have been proved, indicates continued misconduct proving incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service, the punishment awarded will ordinarily be dismissal from service. When complete unfitness for police service is not, but unfitness for a particular rank is, established, the punishment will normally be reduction. 16.10. Punishment of officers officiating in higher ranks.—The misconduct of a police officer must be judged in relation to the position he was occupying at the time when such misconduct is alleged to have taken place. For purposes of punishment, therefore, an officer officiating in a higher rank shall be treated as belonging to that rank. This rule shall not prevent an officer being reverted to his substantive rank on being placed under suspension. 16.11. Prosecution under Section 29, Act V of 1861.—When a disciplinary offence on the part of a police officer can be adequately punished departmentally, such of ficer shall not be prosecuted under section 29 of the Police Act, and no upper subordinate shall be prosecuted under that section without the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General. 16.12. Judicial prosecutions.—When a police officer is departmentally punished for an offence committed in his public capacity for which he is liable to be prosecuted criminally, the Deputy Inspector General is required to satisfy himself that the course adopted was expedient in the interests of the istration, and may order a criminal prosecution if he considers if desirable. SYNOPSIS 1. Natural justice—Enquiry. COMMENTS 1. Natural justice—Enquiry. The rule of natural justice and fairness to the official are two paramount considerations. It is instructive in this context to refer to the decision of the of the House of Lords in Ridge vs. Baldwin, (1963 ALL ER 66), where the Watch Committee summarily dismissed a Chief Constables on the basis of his being severely criticized by the trial Judge while acquiring him. There was no doubt a department enquiry in this case but, the enquiry as explained above, did not give a sufficient opportunity as required by, the rule for the petitioner to defend himself adequately. The said proceedings are, therefore, quashed. Hem Raj, A.S.I. Police vs. The Delhi istration and ors., 1973(1) S.L.R. 349 16.13. Magisterial procedure.—(1) All cases against police officers are required by standing instructions of the High Court to be tried by Magistrates of the 1st class Petty charges in which there is no probability of the District Magistrate, who is the appellate authority, having been required to advise in his executive capacity, may, however, be tried by any Magistrate who can most conveniently take them up. Police officers are never to be tried summarily. (2) Magistrates are required to exercise care in making entries of censure on police officers in their judgments, and it is undesirable that they should make remarks in criminal cases censuring the action of police officers, unless such remarks are strictly relevant to the case and the officers concerned have had an opportunity of explaining their action – (vide Chief court Circular No. 7-3482-G, dated 19th September, 1903, reproduced in Police Rule Appendix No. 1.19). If remarks to which exception can be taken come to notice, they shall be referred in the first instance by the Superintend to the District Magistrate. 16.14. Punishment .—(1) A punishment in Form 16.10 (1) shall be maintained in each district. (2) Every award of departmental punishment, except awards of punishment drill not exceeding 10 days, shall be entered therein. (3) All punishments inflicted by criminal courts upon police officers shall be entered at the reverse end of the punishment . (4) An award of dismissal in consequence of a criminal conviction shall not be shown separately as a departmental punishment. (5) If the award is one of punishment drill not exceeding 10 days, the entry made in the Order Book shall be the only record of such punishment. (6) All punishments required to be entered in the punishment shall also be entered in character and service rolls. Entries of punishment, against which an appeal lies, shall not be made in character or service rolls until the lapse of the period of appeal or until the appeal has been decided. 16.15. Monthly punishment returns.—(1) Every Superintendent shall, on or about the 5th day of each month, prepare and despatch to the Deputy Inspector General a return in Form 16.15 (1) of all punishments, departmental and judicial, inflicted during the preceding month and required under rule 16.14 (6) to be entered in character rolls. Such return shall after due examination by the Deputy Inspector General be filed in his office. (2) Sufficient particulars shall be given in column 3 to enable the Deputy Inspector General to judge of the fitness of the award. (4)
All entries shall hear the annual serial numbers of the punishment , and copies of all bad entries made in the character rolls of upper subordinates during the last preceding month shall be submitted with the return.
(4). When an award is quashed or altered by an authority empowered to do so, the entry in the return and in the punishment shall be cancelled or amended accordingly, and a fresh order shall be entered in the Order Book canceling or amending the original order of punishment. 16.16. Annual return of punishments for corruption. – Every Superintend shall submit to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police on, or before the 5th January to each year, a statement in Form 16.16, showing all punishments inflected in consequence of corruption. Deputy Inspectors-General and the Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police, shall submit to the Inspector-General a consolidated statement on or before the 10th January, in each year together with an annual review discussing the progress of anti-corruption measures, etc, as required by Punjab Government letters Nos. 8957-G 38/10003 (H—Gaz). And 2124-G.39/18878 (H.—Gaz) dated the 15th March 1939, and 25th May, 1939 respectively. 16.17. Power to suspend an officer—Any police officer above the rank of Head Constable may suspend, pending inquiry or investigation, any enrolled police officer junior to him in rank, who is guilty or is reasonably suspected of misconduct. an officer may be released form suspension only by the gazetted officer empowered to punish him. The suspension of an upper subordinate shall be reported immediately to the Deputy Inspector-General in Form 16.17 . the release of such officer and the reason therefor shall also be reported to the Deputy Inspector-General. 16.18. Suspension in departmental case—A police officer, whose conduct is under departmental inquiry, shall orindarily be placed under suspension, when it appears likely that a charge will be framed which, if proved, would render him liable to reduction or dismissal, or when the nature of the accusations against him is such, that his remaining on duty is prejudicial to the public interest, or to the investigation in to those accusation. Unnecessary suspensions should be avoided, as they increase the number of non-effective and also, unless the officer suspended is acquitted involve under Fundamental Rule 43 the additional penalty, over and above the punishment awarded of he substitution for pay of a subsistence grant. 16.19. Suspension in judicial cases—A police officer charged with a criminal offence shall unless the Deputy Inspector-General of Police or the Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police for special reasons to be recorded in writing otherwise directs, be placed under suspension form the date on which he is sent for trial, if such action has not already been taken under the provisions of rule 16.17. suspension is compulsory during any period in which a police officer is committed to prison. A police officer, who may be arrested by order of a civil court in execution of a decree or otherwise shall be considered as under suspension form the date of arrest till his release form custody is ordered by the Court.

Training-Refusal to depute B-1 Lower School Course. I am of the considered view that the respondents are justified in not deputing the petitioner to the Lower School Course so long as she remains under suspension because of the pending criminal case against her. At the same time, I feel that the petitioner cannot be robbed of the meritorious position attained by her in the written and parade test and the eligibility for undergoing the Lower School Course gained by her. In the circumstances, therefore, the appropriate direction which ought to be issued is that as and when and in case the petitioner is acquitted of the criminal charges against her and is consequently reinstated in service, she shall be deputed to the ensuing Lower School Course at the Police Training School, Madhuban, Immediately after the date of her acquittal and reinstatement.

Departmental enquiry—Found guilty of one of the charges. Rule 16.3 of the Rules inter alia provides that if a Police Officer has been tried and acquitted by a criminal court, he shall not be punished departmental on the same charge or on different charge upon the evidence cited in the criminal case, whether actually led or not unless, (a) the criminal charge has failed on technical grounds or (b) in the opinion of the Court of the Superintendent of Police, the prosecution witnesses have been won ever; or (c) the Court has held in its judgment that an offence was actually, committed and that suspicion rests upon the police officer concerned or (d) the evidence cited in the criminal case disclose facts unconnected with the charge before the Court which justify departmental proceedings on a different charge or (e) additional evidence issible under rule 16.25 (1) in departmental proceedings is available. Thus it could not be successfully argued that after having been acquitted by the criminal Court, the plaintiff could not be proceeded against departmentally under any circumstances.

Absence form duty for 18 days while under suspension. The perusal of Rule 16.21 (2) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, reveals that during the suspension period of a police officer, he cannot be assigned responsible duties like guard duty or any other duty entailing the exercise of the power or functions of a Police Officer or duty involving the exercise of responsibility, but during suspension he shall ordinarily be confined to lines and he shall deposit his belt and ammunition etc. The working of the mind of a suspended police officer on of the registration of a criminal case just after his release by the Court on bail, in such criminal case cab be well imagined. Certainly be will fell confused and shaken, especially when he is convinced of his innocence. This conclusion is further fortified as according to the written statement filed by the respondent State, the above referred criminal case consequently, ended in his acquittal although the Court has given him the benefit of doubt. Just the laps on the part of the petitioner is not attending the police line during the spell 18 days cannot be said to be that grave as that of a regular police officer and thus would no tensile the extreme penalty of terminating his service.

Discretion left to the enquiry officer to record the evidence in vernacular if he so decides. Petitioner also contends that the evidence should have been recorded during the enquiry proceedings in vernacular and not in English. In this connection he relies on Punjab Police Rule 16.22(2) This lays down that “ in all cases against upper subordinates the record shall be in English throughout. In cases against lower subordinates evidence may be recorded in vernacular, but the statement of the accused officer in his defence, the finding, and the final order shall be in English. “ This rule shows that a discretion is left to the enquiry officer to record the evidence in vernacular if he so decides. It is not imperative for him to record the evidence in vernacular only. More over, over, I find that this point was not taken up by the petitioner either before, the enquiry officer or before the disciplinary authority or in appeal. This contention has, therefore, to be rejected. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768.

Final authority on question of fact. Petitioner’s contention that the bare statement of Uma Shankar, Sub-Inspector that he saw the petitioner attending the mass rally in question should not have been accepted in view of the evidence produced by the petitioner, is misconceived. Whether the petitioner did attend the really or not in a question of fact and it cannot be said that the findings given by the enquiry officer is without evidence. It is for him to believe a particular witness and disbelieve the other. He is the final authority on question of fact as long as the decision can be shown to be based on evidence.

Service of an Advocate, Petitioner’s contention that he was denied the service of an Advocate during the proceedings before the enquiry officer is without substance. In his writ petition he has only mentioned this fact indirectly to show that the enquiry officer was biased and prejudiced against a him and “ the petitioner was not even entitled to avail of the assistance of some advocate”. There is noting to show whether the petitioner did request for such assistance. Even in the petition he has not disclosed when and how such assistance was asked for and refused. Again, no grievance was made at any stage of the proceedings right to the appellate stage about this aspect. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh D.I.G. Police.

The accused may file documentary evidence and may for this purpose be allowed access to such files and papers, except such as form part of the record of the confidential office of the Superintendent of Police, as the enquiring officer deems fit. The supply of copies of documents to the accused shall be subject to the ordinary rules regarding copying fees. (vi) At the conclusion of the defence evidence or, if the enquiring officer so directs, at any earlier stage following the framing of a charge, the accused shall be required to state his own answer to the charge. He may be permitted to file a written statement and may be given time, not exceeding one week, for its preparation, but shall be bound to make an oral statement in answer to all questions which the enquiring officer may see fit to put to him, arising out of the charge, the recorded evidence, or his own written statement. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The explanation furnished by the defaulter shall be taken into by the officer before ing orders in the case. (viii) Nothing in the foregoing rule shall debar a Superintendent of Police from making or causing to be made a preliminary investigation into the conduct of a suspected officer. Such an enquiry is not infrequently necessary to ascertain the nature and degree of misconduct which is to be formally enquires into. The suspected police officer may or may not be present at such preliminary enquiry, as ordered by the Superintendent of Police or other gazetted officer initiating the investigation shall form no part of the formal departmental record, but statements therefrom may be brought to the formal record when the witnesses are no longer available in the circumstances detailed in clause (iii) above. All statements recorded during a preliminary investigation should be signed by the person making them and attested by the officer recording them. Clause (ix) Omitted by Haryana Vide No. G.S.R. 31 dated 21.3.1985 (ix) No order of dismissal or reduction in rank shall be ed by an officer empowered to dismiss a police officer or reduce him in rank untill that officer has been given a reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the action proposed to be taken in regard to him, provided that this shall not apply-(a) (b)

The petitioner was not given an opportunity to defend hemself. Now the papers of the enquiry which are produced in case show that the pertitioner had itted and had pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against him. It is difficult to understand what further opportunity the petitioner required in view of his clear plea of guilty. The petitioner has contended in the petition that he had never pleaded guilty. This is of course a bare assertion of an interested party. In fact, he has not filed any appeal challenging the allegation that he pleaded guilty. Shri Bhagat Ram vs. Inspector General of Police, Himachal Pradesh and others, 1979(3) S.LR. 256. 2. Constable molesting lady constable. The trial court found that the plaintiff was guilty of the alleged misconduct, there was no necessity for according the sanction by the District Magistrate and that there was no question of any illegality in the orders ed by the authorities. Consequently, his suit was dismissed. IN appeal, the learned Additional District Judge reversed the said finding of the trial Court relying upon the judgment of this court in Gurdev Singh vs. The State of Haryana, 1976(2) SLR 442. In view of the ratio of the above-said case, it was held that in the present case, the only allegation against the plaintiff was that while under the influence of liquor he pulled down the mosquito-net of the lady constable while she was sleeping on cot. There was no allegation that the said lady Constable was actually molested. No finding was recorded by the punishing authority that the misconduct committed by him was of a gravest type. That being so, the order of dismissal ed against the plaintiff was liable to struck down. It was further found by the lower appellate Court that the provisions of rule 16.24 of the Punjab Police Rules, were also not complied with inas much as the plaintiff was not fully informed of the evidence which had been led against him ex parte, and that he was not permitted to take notes of the same. Thus, the mandatory provisions of rule 16.24 of the Rules were violated. In view of the said findings, the plaintiff’s suit was decreed. Dissatisfied with the same, the State of Punjab has filed this second appeal in this Court. State of Punjab and other vs. Iqbal Singh, Ex-Constable, 1985(3) S.L.R. 713. 3.
Cross-Examination-Departmental Enquiry, in a disciplinary inquiry against a civil servant, the right of effective cross-examination including the contradiction of witness examined in of the charges in an essential part of the rules of natural justice. Jug Raj Singh vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and other,s 1970 S.L.R. 400.
4. Departmental Enquiry-Right to cross-examination. The petitioner was denied the right to defend himself because the right of effective cross-exmaination by using the previous statement of the complainant was denied to him contrary to Police Rules. Apart from Police Rules the right to cross-examination is included in the minimum content of the rules of natural justice applicable to a disciplinary inquiry. Further held, there are two classes of documents to which public servant has a right to defend himself. In the class are the documents on which the Inquiry Officer to defend himself. In the first class are the documents on which the Inquiry Officer relie,d that is to say docuemnts which are intended to be used the prosecution agenchy to prove the charges against the public servant, in the second class fall the documents which, even if they are not relied upon by the Enquiry Officer to the charges against the petitioner, are nevertheless required by the petitioner for his defence. Jug Raj Singh vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and others, 1970 S.LR. 400. 5. Departmental enquiry dispensed with after recording reasons and application of mind. It could not be successfully argued on behalf of the petitioner that the enquiry under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution of India was dispensed with arbitarily or without any application of mind. Even if it be held that the enquiry was not dispensed with arbitrarily, then as regards punishment, ordinarily it is not for this Court to go into the matter. It is for the department concerned to award punishment after taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case. Balbir Sigh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1989(4) S.LR. 42=1989(2) RSJ 540. 6. Dismissal from service after departmental enquiry. It is correct that under Rule 16.24(2)(ii) even in the case of ex parte proceedings, the procedure prescribed under Rule 16.24(1) has to be followed as far as possible. Personal hearing is definitely a step in the procedure prescribed under rule 16.24(1) for holding a departmental enquiry to impose the penalty of dismissal. But in my opinion, the words ‘as far as possible’ make the provision only directory. The State of Punjab 1967 SLR 678 is distinguishable on its own facts. That was not a case of ex parte proceedings. Moreover, it was found by the Court that thought personal hearing was given to the petitioner in that case yet, it was a mere formality as the Superintendent of Police had already made up his mind to punish him as was apparent from the notice to show cause. Dhani Ram vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, 1991(6) S.L.R. 184. 7.
Dismissal on the charge of assaulting a girl. The petition averred two separate facts. Para II of the petition stated that the findings of the Enquiry Officer were not communicated to the appellant when he was summoned before the Superintendent of Police, and para 12 stated that he was only orally told that it was proposed to dimiss him and that no other fact was communicated to him. In reply to these two averments, the affidavit which has not been filed its that the first of the allegations is correct. Para II of the affidavit of the respondent quite clearly its that the findings were not communicated to the appellant. Para 12 of the petition which stated that he was only told that it was proposed to dismiss him has not been met by the quotation from the order sheet of the proceedings before the Superintendent of Police, and does not advance the matter much further.
It was contended before us that what is meant by the word ‘charge’ in the order sheet of the Superintendent of Police is very much the same, as is meant by Rule 16.24, para 9 of the Punjab Police Rules, Vol. II, where it is laid down that the “defaulter” should be explained the “charge proved” against him but this is not what the order sheet of the Superintendent of Police shows. This does not appear to have been done, and the affidavit which has been filed in this Court is not the affidavit of the officer who knew personally about the matter but of person who had only the proceedings before him and swore to their accuracy from information. In this view of the matter, we find ourselves unable to accept the contention of the learned counsel for the respondent that due compliance with the requirements of Art. 311(2) was made in this case. In our opinion, this defect goes to the very root of the matter, and the appeal must, on this ground alone, succeed. Avtar Singh, Police Constable vs. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab, 1968 S.L.R. 131. 8.
Dismissal-Refusal to perform the duty. The impugned order does not indicate that the punishing authority examined the claim of the plaintiff for pension having regard to the length of his service. It is undisputed that the plaintiff had 7-1/2 years service to his credit on the date of order of dismissal was ed. The rule ened upon the disciplinary authority while awarding the punishment of dismissal from service to take into consideration the length of service of the dilinquent official and his claim to pension. The impugned order does not indicate that the disciplinary authority took into consideration the length of service of the plaintiff and his claim to pension. The order of dismissal being in violation of the statutory rule was rightly held to be invalid. The judgments of the Courts below suffer from no infirmity. The same are upheld.

10. District Magistrate to a speaking order. There is no doubt whatsoever that the provisions of Rule 16.38 envisage as to how the authorities shall act in: situation when a complaint is received by the Superintendent of Police indication, commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public, namely, that either he should be criminally prosecuted or he should be dealt with departmentally by holding departmental enquiry in accordance with the procedure laid down in Rule 16.24. Further, it is also obvious that information of the complaint received by the Superintendent of Police of the commission of criminal offence has to be given to the District Magistrate and after preliminary enquiry as a general rule the criminal prosecution of the police official concerned must http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
follow. In certain exceptional cases, however, where the District Magistrate is of opinion that the delinquent should be dealt with departmentally, he has to give reasons therefor meaning thereby that this must be a speaking order with full application of his mind. In fact, a Division Bench of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh in State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Nain Singh and another, AIR 1986. H.P. Series 727, while relying on the judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Punjab vs. Charan Singh, AIR 1981 SC 1007, has held that if a police officer is criminally prosecuted without any intimation to the District Magistrate or obtaining his prior permission for such prosecution, there is no violation of the provisions of Rule 16.38 but, in case the police officer has to be departmentally dealt with, the prior sanction of the District Magistrate in this behalf is a condition precedent and the District Magistrate is required to in such a situation a speaking order after full application of his mind. State of H.P. vs. Baldev Singh, 1989(7) S.LR. 1. 11. Enquiry officer exonerated the petitioner by holding that he was not negligent in the performance of his duties. It was on the basis of this evidence that the Enquiry Officer had exonerated the petitioner of the charges levelled against him. The Senior Superintendent of Police while issuing the show cause notice to the petitioner did not refer to any evidence which may show that the petitioner was negligent in the performance of duties. The show cause notice was totally vague and did not specify the grounds on which respndent No. 2 had disagreed with the findings recorded by the Enquiry Officer. It was merely mentioned that “I do not agree with this report, because you remained posted as Station House Officer, Police Station City, Tarn Taran and it was your duty to take interest in arresting the accused in these cases but you failed to do so. Therefore, I find you guilty in this Departmental Enquiry.” It is not stated as to why the respondent did not agree with the findings of the Enquiry Officer. It does not also indicated as to which part of the enquiry report was being doubted by the officer. In such a situation, it cannot be said that the petitioner was given an effective opportunity to show cause. The petitioner had then made a specific grievance against this action before the appellate as also the revisional authorities. His claim was rejected without any reference to the clear evidence on record. It is no doubt correct that the High Court while exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India does not sit as a Court of appeal. However, it is charged with the duty of ensuring that the action taken by the authorities is just and fair. I am satisfied in the circumstanes of the case that the action was totally arbitrary. Rajinder Kumar. SI (Retd.) vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(4) S.L.R. 394=1992(3) RSJ 302. 12. Enquiry – Police officer challaned the accused. It must be noticed that it is not the mere presence of a few tyre marks on the record, without anything more, that would suggest that speed at which the vehicle was driven at the relevant time. It is common knowledge based on the ordinary and well known laws of physical that only if the distance over which tyre marks appeared and the weight of the vehicle are known if would be possible to estimate the speed at which the car was driven. Even if a car is driver at a slow speed, when brakes are suddenly applied some tyre marks are possible. There is , therefore no from the evidence on record before the Enquiry Officer for the view that the petitioner had falsely introduced reference to tyre marks on the road. Hem Raj , A.S.I. Police vs. The Delhi istration and ors., 1973(1) S.L.R. 340 13. Nature and degree of misconduct. The object of making a preliminary investigation is to ascertain the nature and degree of misconduct which had be formally inquired into. This record of preliminary investigation is no doubt not to be a part of the formal departmental record. There does not seem to be scope, However , for any secret enquiry such as what Shri Jarith says, in the report, he made. This opportunity given to the delinquent is prima facie inconsistent with any notion of secrecy for the delinquent can be present if he likes, though it is not obligatory on his part to be present. It seems difficult to agree with the contention that he could be present only when it was so ordered by the Superintendent of Police or other gazetted officer initiating the investigation. Those words apply to only the enquiry, which is to be conducted when so ordered but not to the presence of the delinquent at such enquiry. If the Superintendent of Police or other officer is given the option of allowing the delinquent to be present or not present it is possible that the very purpose of enabling his presence during such enquiries is likely to be unfulfilled in may cases. Rule 16.24(v) provides that the enquiring officer “shall record the statements of those defence witnesses whom he decides to it in the presence of the accused, who shall be allowed to address questions to them, the answers to which shall be recorded” etc. Fairness would require some reasons to be given why some alone among the witnesses in the list of defence witnesses are examined while the examination of others is not permitted. In the present case, by merely looking at that list, one is unable to find anything to distinguish between those who were examined and those who were not, even making allowances for the enquiring officer’s anxiety not to duplicate witnesses. There is no means of knowing the considerations which prevailed with the enquiring officer in the present case in the matter of only recording the statements of only some but not of all witnesses required to be examined in his behalf by the delinquent officer. All these individually and cumulatively did have an impact on the fairness of the enquiry. It is of extreme importance that such departmental inquiries in which the servants of the State are likely to meet with even major penalties should be punished after a full and fair inquiry, the enquiring officer and others concerned with such enquiries should be careful and avoid giving an impression of unfairness in anything which they do or fail to do. Ram karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 683 14. Non—supply of statement of witnesses cannot be said to have vitiated the disciplinary proceedings. We have considered these rulings but find that the facts in the present case are materially different from those in the two above mentioned rulings in as no request whatsoever was made in writing for the supply of statement of witnesses recorded during the preliminary enquiry, and the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that such a request was made orally during the course of enquiry cannot be relied upon, particularly in view of the clear stand taken by the respondents that the petitioners never applied for the copies of statement as alleged. We have, therefore, no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that the petitioners did not ask for the copies of the statement of the witnesses recorded during the course of the preliminary enquiry and their stand that they asked for such copies verbally is not worthy of any reliance. Godan Devi and anr. vs. Superintendent of Police and ors., 1991(3) S.L.R. 623 15. No reasonable opportunity given to cross-examine the witnesses produced by the department. The final argument raised by the counsel for the respondent is that there was no compliance of the other mandatory provisions of rule 16.24(1) as the respondent had not been given a list of witnesses or documents relied upon by the Department and that a reasonable opportunity was not given to cross-examine the witnesses produced by the Department. We have gone through the pleadings of the parties in this respect and find that no such point was made in the plaint and, as such, no justifiable grievance can now be made on this score. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 16. Opportunity of hearing not given before ing the order. It has been stated in the examination-in-Chief that no opportunity of gearing was given to the plaintiff before imposing the penalty of dismissal. There is no reliable evidence to rebut the same. It is not dispute at the bar that no opportunity of hearing was given before ing the impugned order though an opportunity of hearing was given after the pronouncement of the punishment. In my considered view it will be no opportunity and it will be in violation of principles of natural justice, apart from the patent violation of rule 16.24(9) which envisages that before a punishment is imposed on a person an opportunity should be given to show cause that the proposed punishment is disproportionate to the offence committed by him. Nothing substantial has been stated to controvert the said proposition. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh, 1990(2) S.L.R. 88 17. Opportunity of oral hearing. The Statutory requirements of personal hearing envisaged by the portion of clause (ix) just above the proviso, relates to the stage subsequent to the provisional opinion of the competent authority resulting in the service of the ‘show-cause’ notice and prior to the final making up of the mind of the punishing authority. In the instant case, the impugned order shows that not only had the Superintendent of Police made up his mind finally, but had recorded his detailed order wherein he had even considered the question of quantum of punishment and held that there were no extenuating circumstances to inflict on the petitioner any punishment lesser than that of dismissal. Having recorded all that, the punishing authority said in the last sentence of its order that a verbal hearing would, however, be given to the petitioner, as required by the rules “at the time of announcement of the order”. This shows that the alleged verbal hearing given to the petitioner on April 29, 1963, was a mere farce and that the punishing authority had already closed its mind finally in the matter before the oral hearing commenced. This kind of a situation ids often described in legal terminology as a fraud on the requirement of the rule. It has been held in C.P.Govil’s case, 1965(1) DLT 16 that the High Court can set aside any finding or order which has been arrived at without observance of procedure required by law and in violation of principles of natural justice. We are of the considered opinion that the impugned order was ed without observance of the procedure prescribed in clause (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Police Rules and the hearing after the perpetration of the final order and just before its announcement, was a cheer formality which cannot be held to have satisfied the requirements of the rule and which appears to have violated the principles of natural justice. Siri Ram vs. State of Punjab, 1967 S.L.R. 678 18. Opportunity of personal hearing. In of this position the petitioner had also annexed (he has also referred to other instances) a copy of the order of the order of the Inspector General of Police (Annexure Z-19) in Revision Petition filed by H.C.Vinodi Lal where an order of reduction in rank, ed on the ground of his having contracted a second marriage during the life-time of his first wife, was quashed on the ground that Rule 16.24(I)(viii) a similar rule which applied to his case-which required that he should be called upon to appear before the punishing authority and be informed of such punishment being awarded upon him, was not observed. The order of punishment was quashed and fresh orders were directed to be made on the merits of the case from that stage onwards. The rule itself is quite clear; it has been explained and affirmed in the circular issued by the Inspector General of Police on 30.5.1971 (copy of which is Annexure Z-17) drawing attention to the need for the delinquent officer to be http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

produced before the punishing authority before punishment is awarded. There has been a failure to comply with it in the present case; it is unfortunate that inspire of the petitioner asking for a personal hearing he was not granted one. In the view that the enquiry itself has to be quashed from the commencement the need to quash the same from a later stage assumes secondary importance and hence may not have to be discussed further. None the less, reference has been made to this aspect the order to show that in no view of the matter could be punishment of dismissal, as it was originally ed, be justified. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 683 19. Opportunity to a delinquent. Issuance of a written show cause notice to the delinquent official and the consideration of the reply received in response thereto, amounted to substantial compliance with sub-rule (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Rules, and the said exercise having gone through in the present case, fulfils the requirement of law. The State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, 1992(1) RSJ (D.B) 61 20. Order of dismissal well reasoned—Personal hearing not given. The main argument of the learned counsel for the applicant Sh. H.S. Mann, rested on the meaning and import of the words “dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest of misconduct”. It was submitted that assuming that the applicant was guilty of the alleged misconduct, still he could not be dismissed except when there were several acts of misconduct, because the above mentioned rule refers to “acts” and not to an “act” of misconduct. It was observed in Bhagwat Parashad v. Inspector General of Police and other, 1967 SLR 807 that there must be plurality of acts of misconduct, does not appear to be sound as such an interpretation could lead to absurd results. An illustration considered in of the above interpretation was that if a foot constable were to subject a high police officer to a wanton and serious assault, or were to be guilty of a single act of gross insubordination, could was repeated at least once. It was further observed that the use of the words “acts” does not exclude a single act of misconduct and that in order to gauge gravity of misconduct, what matters, is not frequency, as obliquity or delinquency. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. Manjit Singh vs. Home Secretary and others, 1989(6) S.L.R. 399 21. Personal hearing – No specific plea. On a reading of the entire written statement, the impression left is that all the requirements of the provisions of law for taking disciplinary action were followed meticulously and there was no violation of infraction of any part of the Rules, and in the absence of the specific plea about non-granting of personal hearing as required by Rule 16.24 of the Police Rules, the State could not be expected to lead evidence in this behalf and the trial Court was not right in observing that the statement of the plaintiff in this behalf remained un-controverted. Evasive plea like the one is to be ignored. The plaintiff has not produced the copy of the order ed by the I.G.Police, from which it dealt with. If the plea about non-granting of personal hearing had been specific then in the interest of justice, I would have allowed the placing on record the copy of the order ed by the I.G. Police, with regard to rebuttal to the other side. Since plea is vague and inconclusive, it is futile to follow this procedure at such a late stage. Joginder Singh vs. Punjab State, 1989(3) S.L.R. 626 = 1992(3) RSJ 1967 22. Personal hearing—Procedure regarding. The first point urged by the counsel for the appellant must succeed. We therefore, hold that the issuance of a written show-cause notice to the delinquent official and the consideration of the reply received in response thereto, amounted to substantial compliance with sub-rule (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Rules, and the said exercise having gone through in the present case, fulfills the requirement of law. We are however not unmindful of the fact that written representations are often dealt with in a casual and perfunctory manner and to obviate, this possibility we hold that should a delinquent official request a personal hearing it must be given to him and its denial would vitiate any actin against the official. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 23. Presence before the dismissing authority. Rule 16.24 contemplates two alternatives, either the production of the officer threatened with punishment before the officer who is to that order and the recording of an oral statement after informing him of the charges provided against him or else his submitting a written representation against the order proposed to be ed against him after similarly informing him of the charges proved against him. The onus was on the plaintiff to prove any defect in the proceedings which led to his dismissal. The bare assertion that he was not produced before the Additional Inspector General is not at all sufficient to establish his case. State of Punjab vs. Sunder Singh, 1968 P.L.R.. (S.N) 33 24
Reasons for dispensing with the enquiry. The reasons given for dispensing with the enquiry in he impugned order are: because in the present circumstances if the departmental enquiry is ordered, a large number of witnesses have to be examined and the witnesses may not come forward due to fear of the accused (undertrials) who are still at large and can put the witnesses in constant fear of death and either harm at their hands; that it is not practicable to order a regular departmental enquiry due to the chaotic condition in the Punjab created due to the extremists menace. The said two reasons could not be said to be relevant or extraneous as to hold that the enquiry should not have been dispensed with. Swaran Singh, Head Constable vs. State of Punjab and another, 1989(4) S.L.R. 171= 1991(2) RSJ 115.
25. Reduction in rank Rule 16.24 of the Punjab Police Rules leaves no manner of doubt that it is incumbent on the punishing authority to afford a personal hearing before an order of dismissal or reduction in rank is ed. Rulia Ram Vs. The Punjab State, 1968 P.L.R. (S.N.) 27. 51.
Reference to District Magistrate. Rule 16.24(1) (ii) of the Punjab Police Rules shows that “when the allegations are such as can form the basis of a criminal charge. The Superintendent shall decide”----- whether the accused shall be tried departmentally first and judicially thereafter. A harmonious reading of Rules 16.24 (ii) and 16.38 shows that the Superintendent of Police is not required to send information to the District Magistrate regarding any and every criminal offence committed by a police officer. It is in this context, that the use of the expression “ in connection with his official relations with the public” becomes significant. Unless this requirement of Rule 16.38 is satisfied, no reference to the District Magistrate is required. A police officer when accused of criminal offence can be dealt with departmentally and can also be prosecuted in a criminal Court. Rule 16.24(1)(ii) as mentioned above, empowers the Superintendent of Police to take decision in this behalf. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(7) S.L.R. 246.
52.
Termination of probationer on the ground of taking part in “a non-taking food compaign” The impugned order of removal dismissal of service was in substance and in effect in order made by way of punishment after considering the service conduct of petitioner . There is no doubt the impugned order casts a stigma on the service career of the petitioner and the order being made by way of punishment, the petitioner is entitled to the protection afforded by the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution as well as by the provision of Rule 16.24(ix)(b) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. The petitioner has not been served with any charges of misconduct in discharging of his duties as a police constable nor has he ever been asked to show cause against the said charges. The order of removal from service was made because of his union activities namely participating in the call for expressing the protest of the association for improvement in service conditions by abstaining from taking meals in the Mess on 15th August , 1982 although the petitioner like other of the association performed his duties on that day an did not abstain from duty. It cannot be said in the facts and circumstances of the case that the impugned order is an order simplicities of removal from service of probationer in accordance with the and conditions of the service. The impugned order undoubtedly, tantamount to dismissal from service by reason of misconduct of the petitioner in discharge of the official duties as police constable. Hardeep Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R. 576.
53.
Word “enforcement”. The Enforcement Department was a still a Police Department and a Deputy Superintendent of Police (Enforcement) was still a Deputy Superintendent of Police competent to conduct enquiry. The word “enforcement” merely specifies the department to which he was attached. Union of India vs. Jagjit Singh, 1969 S.L.R. 356.
16.25. Standards of evidence and nature of charges.—(1) A police officer called upon the answer a charge of misconduct must be given every reasonable opportunity of proving his innocences; officers conducting departmental enquiries are, however, not bound to follow the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code or Indian Evidence Act. They may it any evidence which they consider relevant, and should exclude evidence which is irrelevant to the specific charge under enquiry, or which is introduced merely to prejudice the opposite party or to could the issue. They require only that standard of proof which is necessary to satisfy themselves whether the charge is established or not. Discipline must also be maintained in relation tot he proceedings of departmental enquiries, Refusal by an accused police officer to plead or answer questions; inordinate delay in producting his defence; insubordinate behaviour before the enquiring officer, and the intemperate or impertinent questioning of officers by accused officers who are their inferiors in official status, are, in addition to being contrary to the spirit of the rules for the conduct of departmental enquiries, entirely contrary to the requirements of discipline, and shall be treated accordingly. (2) Charges need not be framed in relation only to a specific incident or act of misconduct. When reports received against an officer or a preliminary enquiry show that his general behaviour has been such as to be unfitting to his position, or that he has failed to reach or maintain a reasonable standard of efficiency he may and should be charged accordingly, and a finding of guilty on such a charge will be valid ground for the infliction of any authorized departmental punishment which may be considered suitable in the circumstances of the case.

Such expenditure shall be paid out of the allotment for “Rewards to private persons”. 16.27. officers. -- When it appears that allegations of misconduct on the part of a police officer in respect of his relations with the public are of such a nature as to involve a lengthy and complicated investigation, or when in any district important enquiries of this nature are so numerous as seriously to hamper the fulfilment by superior officers of the district staff of their normal duties the Superintendent may apply through the Deputy Inspector-General to the Inspector-General for the services of a special officer to conduct such enquiry or enquiries. If the Inspector-General decides to the request, he will apply to the Chief Secretary to Government for the services of member of the of selected retired officer. If a officer is deputed, he will hold his investigation and record all available evidence under the general supervision of the immediate superior of the officer under suspicion, who may be in a position to give evidence. He shall have no powers of punishment and on the conclusion of investigation he will submit his report and the record of evidence to the superintendent of Police with a recommendation as to the charges which, in his opinion, can be established. The prescribed procedure for final orders, appeals, etc. shall then apply officers will be remunerated by the Inspector-General at the rates authorised by the Local Government.

The order should also state whether service previous to dismissal should count for pension or not.

1. Appellate Authority had no jurisdiction to remand the case to the punishing authority to a de novo order of punishment. A plain reading of the Rule makes it clear that the Appellate Authority i.e. the Deputy Inspector General of Police, had the following options after calling for the record and the award made by his subordinate authority : (i) to confirm the award; (ii) to enhance, modify or annul the award, or make further investigation himself, or direct such further investigation to be made by the subordinate authorities before ing the orders of confirmation, enhancement, modification or annulment. He had no jurisdiction to remand the case to the punishing authority to a de novo order of punishment. The jurisdiction of the Appellate Authority having been specified by the statutory provisions, the jurisdiction to remand shall be deemed to have been impliedly not granted. In view of this, the remand order being without jurisdiction, all the subsequent proceedings shall be deemed to be void and without jurisdiction. Punjab State vs. Piara Singh, Ex-Head Constable 1988(7) S.L.R. 493 2. I.G. competent to review the proceedings and enhance the penalty imposed by Superintendent of Police. The provisions of the Act cannot be carried properly unless suitable and detailed rules are made with a view to see that proper and appropriate punishment is awarded in a particular case consistent with the efficiency of the police force and the idea of prevention and detection of crime. When, therefore, the State Government framed Rule 161 and provided the lessor punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture approved service, it was completely within its powers under Section 46 to frame such a rule. To sum up, therefore, we are of the opinion that it is not possible to contend successfully that Rule 16-1 which contemplates the punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service is in any manner ultra vires the statute. Shri Bhagat Ram vs. Inspector General of Police, himachal Pradesh and others, 1979(3) S.L.R. 256 3 Penalty - - Enhancement of. The petitioner, in of his contention, has relied upon Anadi Pradhan vs. Inspector General of Police and others, 1971(2) SLR 711, wherein it was held that the appellate authority had no jurisdiction to enhance the punishment in an appeal filed by the delinquent official when the department had not appealed against of quantum of punishment inflicted by the disciplinary authority. The ratio of this judgment is not applicable to the facts of this case. Another judgment relied upon is State of Mysore vs. H.D. Kolkar, 1974(1) SLR 51. The facts of this case are completely different from the facts of the case under consideration. Gopi Chand, Head Constable vs. Deputy Inspector General of Police, Hissar Range and others, 1979(3) S.L.R. 586 16-29.

Such copies shall not be given during the pendency of the original proceedings for the facilitating of cross-examination or the preparation of the defence. Copies of the record of preliminary enquiries [rule 16-24 (viii) shall not be given for purposes of appeal. Such application shall bear a court-fee stamp of the value of two annas, unless the applicant is in Jail, and shall be accompanied by a deposit of the copying fees chargeable under the scale in force in the civil courts of the district.

Appeal against order of dismissal from service. ittedly, the petitioner was not gien personal hearing so the impugned order ed on appeal is allowed with costs and the impugned order of dismissal from service and the order ed on appeal are hereby quashed. The respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner with full back wages with 12% interest per annum, within a month. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991(4) S.L.R. 102 2. Enquiry—Scope and application. As a matter of fact rule 16.29 deals with a stage after the original order of punishment has been ed. All that this sub-rule (4) of Rule 16.29 means is that though the right to obtain a complete record is available to the police official after the original order has been impugned this will not entitle him to also ask for the copies of the file/report during th3e pendency of the original proceedings, that is to say that if on the first day 2/3 witnesses have been examined the police official cannot insist that he be should be given copies of their statements for the purpose of cross-examining the other witnesses who are to be examined on subsequent days. This rule deals with a situation about the supply of copies during the course of the enquiry and has no relevancy to whether the copies of the statements recorded at preliminary enquiry should be given to the Police Officer or not for the purpose of cross-examining the witnesses when they are examined at the enquiry. This rule does not, therefore, in any way prohibit the supply of the copies of the prior statements of the witnesses which are needed to exercise the effective right of cross-examination and is a content of the reasonable opportunity to which the police officials has Constitutional right. As the statements of those witnesses were denied to the plaintiff there is no scope from the conclusion that the plaintiff was denied a reasonable opportunity and the order is liable to be struck down on this ground also.

Not obligatory on the appellate authority to give detailed reasons for. COMMENTS
1. Acquittal on benefits of doubt – While discussing the evidences the Magistrate observed that “in the present case all the eye witnesses including Constable Raja Ram, P.W.2 turned hostile and though, cross-examined by the learned P.P. nothing material favourable to the prosecution could be elicited.” One of the prosecution witnesses Ishwari Lal who was the sole witness before Enquiry Officer of Departmental proceedings completely reverted from his statement given to the police and confronted with his own statement before the P.P. in the criminal proceedings. After a detailed discussion the Magistrate concluded on the following lines. “In view of the above discussion I hold that prosecution has not been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against accused Mehak Singh. I accordingly give the benefit of doubt to accused Mehakk Singh and acquit him.” From the above it is, therefore, clear that the petitioner had been acquitted on the benefit of doubt and not on merits. We see no reason why the acquittal should be a bar against the departmental proceedings. Mehak Singh vs. Union of India etc., 1987(2) S.L.R. 357. 2. Not obligatory on the appellate to give detailed reasons for – In dealing with the question as to whether it is obligatory on the appellate authority to give reasons in of he order rejection the appeal as required under Rule 16.31 of the Rules, it has to be borne in mind that disciplinary proceedings against a delinquent official begin with an inquiry conducted by an Officer appointed in that behalf and the same is followed by a report which is considered by the punishing authority and having regard to the material which is thus made available and which is also made available to the delinquent official, also the punishing authority accepts the findings of the Enquiry Officer and thereafter issues a show cause notice, proposing punishment and then imposes punishment after considering the reply to the show cause notice. In the case in hand the punishing authority had recorded a detailed order (A-5) while imposing the punishment of dismissal form service upon the applicant. In the circumstances of the case, it was not obligatory on the appellate pugned order (A-5) for agreeing with the reasons and conclusions arrived at by the punishing authority. Manjit Singh vs. Secretary and others, 1989(6) S.L.R. 399. 16.32. Revision – An officer whose appeal has been rejected is prohibited from assaying for a fresh scrutiny of the evidence. Such officer may, however, apply, within a month of the date of despatch of appellate orders to him, to the authority next above the prescribed appellate authority for revision on grounds of material irregularity in the proceedings or on production of fresh evidence, and may submit to the same authority a plea for mercy: provided that no application for the revision of an order by the Inspector-General will be entertained.

Mercy petition before Inspector General of Police. It is not necessary to decide this question for the simple reason that the order of the Inspector General of Police in revision cannot be maintained, because while dealing with the revision-cummercy petition, he took into consideration the so called, chequered service records so the petitioners which, as observed by the learned Single Judge, did not form part of the charge and was not gone into by the Enquiry Officer and the petitioners were also not given any opportunity to meet this aspect of the case. Consequently, in view of the observations of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in K. Manche Gowda’s case (supra) which were referred to in Amar Nath’s case (supra), decided by the learned Singled Judge, the two writ petitions had to be quashed. It would be open to the order of the Inspector General of Police had to be quashed. It would be open to the Inspector General of Police to go into the whole question, including the instructions of 1961 issued by the Inspector General of Police referred to above, and to decide once again not only about the misconduct of the two petitioners, but also about the proper punishment that is to be inflicted. The question, whether in the circumstances of this case, the departmental authorities could or could not arrive at the conclusion that the misconduct of which the petitioners were found to be guilty did or did not amount to gravest act of misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2 of the Rules, must be left open Normally speaking this court would be most reluctant to go into the question of the nature of the misconduct after the matter has been dealt with by the authorities, yet there may arise a case where the conclusion arrived at is such that the same cannot possible be maintained. However, as stated above, it is not necessary for us to decide this point in the present case, at this stage. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab vs. Balbir Singh, 1973(2) S.L.R. 271 16.33. Removal from promotion lists.—Removal of a name from a promotion list may follow from the award of punishment for a specific offence, or be ordered on general grounds. In neither case shall a formal charge be framed nor evidence recorded, but an order shall be recorded in writing and given effect to through an entry in the Order Book. The original order of the authority ordering removal shall be read out to the officer concerned, but a copy thereof shall not be given to him and no appeal shall be lie against it. 16.34. Suspension of officer immediately responsible.—If a prisoner escapes or is rescued from police custody, the enrolled police officer immediately responsible shall forthwith be suspended from duty. A searching departmental inquiry shall at once be held by or under the orders of the Superintendent. The object of this inquiry shall be the elucidation of all the circumstances connected with the escape or rescue and the determination of the issue whether the escape or rescue could have been prevented by the exercise of such vigilance and courage on the part of the enrolled police officer by the exercise of such vigilance and courage on the part of the enrolled police officer immediately responsible as might reasonable have been expected, and whether it was rendered possible or facilitated by any neglect or omission of duty on the part of any superior enrolled police officer. SYNOPSIS 1. Rormaing of rule in consonance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Punjab Police Act, 1961. COMMENTS 1. Framing of rule in consonance with the provisions of Section 7 the Punjab Police Act, 1961. It has been contended that the provision of Rule 16.28 are beyond the Rule making powers conferred under Section 7 of the Punjab Police Act. In my view the provisions of Rule 16.28 do not infringe the provisions of Sec.7 in any manner whatsoever. No provision of the aforesaid Rule, confers the powers of any officer lower in rank than the Appointing Authority to inflict any punishment or enchance a punishment nor it is shown to be in any way beyond the rule making powers of the authorities. The decision in the case mentioned above also is clearly distinguishable as the Court had found the rule to be beyond the rule making power conferred by Section 25(2)(c) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951, which had fallen for consideration. Such in not position here. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others,1991(7) S.L.R. 246 16.35. Re-instatement after suspension.—On the conclusion of the enquiry, if the Superintendent finds that no misconduct attaches to the police officer or officers suspended, he shall reinstate them. In order to guard against any laxity in enforcing the responsibility for escapes, Deputy Inspector General should freely exercise their powers under rule 16.28 in respect of such cases. 16.36. Action when negligence is established.—If the enquiry establishes negligence or connivance in an escape, thereby cretin a presumption that an offence under Section 221,222 or 223, Indian Penal Code, has been committed, the police officer concerned shall be prosecuted criminally, unless the District Magistrate on a reference by the Superintendent of Police decides, for reasons to be recorded, that the case shall be dealt with departmentally. If the enquiry establishes a breach of discipline or misconduct not amounting to an offence under any of the sections of the Indian Penal Code mentioned above, the case shall ordinarily be dealt with departmentally. The criminal prosecution under this rule of an upper subordinate shall not be undertaken without the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. 16.37. Dismissal the normal punishment in escape cases.—(1) Dismissal shall normally follow a judicial or departmental conviction for negligence resulting in the escape of the prisoner and may, with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General for review of the orders ed. The Deputy Inspector General, will, however, no orders until the period of appeal has expired. If an appeal is lodged, the period of appeal has expired. If an appeal is lodged, the punishment will be examined in the ordinary way, if there is no appeal, the Deputy Inspector General will proceed to review the punishment if he considers it necessary. If the Deputy Inspector General decides to enchance the punishment awarded, an appeal will then lie against such order to the Inspector General. If an appeal does not lie against the original punishment awarded, the Deputy Inspector General will proceed to review the case as soon as he received it. (2) The authority to retain in the service an enrolled police officer, who has been convicted of neglect either judicially or departmentally in connection with an escape, shall rest with the Deputy Inspector General, or, in the case of Inspectors, with the Inspector General. If extenuating circumstance sexist, they shall be clearly stated and application made to or through the Deputy Inspector General to award any authorized punishment other than dismissal. SYNOPIS 1. Ordinarily order of suspension suspends the contract of service COMMENTS. 1. Ordinarily order of suspension suspends the contract of service. The documents, orders and communications referred to earlier make it clear that the convictions of the respondent by way of stoppage of 2 years increment was on of the enquiry held against him. Even in his writ petition, the respondent had proceeded on the basis that the departmental enquiry was on of the escape of the said Bahadur Singh and that the order of stoppage of increment for a period of two years, was the punishment awarded to him as a result of the said enquiry. We are therefore, not in agreement with the finding of the learned single Judge that there was no evidence to show that the punishment meted out to the respondent could not be said to be on of the finding of misconduct in connection with the escape of said Bahadur Singh in the said enquiry. Superintendent of Police was authorised to vacate his own order of suspension to reinstate the respondent. It is correct that as a rule a person who has authority to an order has also the authority to vacate it but this is subject to the law or statutory rules. Rule 16.37(2) specifically provides:--“the authority to retain in service an enrolled police officer, who has been convicted of neglect either judicially or departmentally in connection with an escape, shall rest with the Inspector General of Police…..” In the face of this clear provision contained in the Police Rules as applicable to H.P. we are of the view that the Superintendent of Police had not authority to reinstate the respondent in service and that his order dated 1st September, 1965, was in violation of the above quoted rule, and, therefore, invalid and of no effect. The Inevitable result of this conclusion would be that the aforesaid order of reinstatement has to be treated as non-existent and would have the result of revising the order of suspension dated August 21, 1965. If the respondent had not resumed duty in pursuance of even the aforesaid invade order of reinstatement, this appeal would have had to be allowed. The difficulty in the way of appellants, however, is that the respondent had resumed duty on September 1, 1965, in pursuance of the aforesaid order of reinstatement even though invalid. Ordinarily, and order of suspension suspends the contract of http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

service. At the same time, the employer is not entitled to take any work from the servant during the period of suspension. It must, therefore, follow that if the employee is allowed to resume duty during the period of suspension and does discharge his duties, he would immediately become entitled to his full emoluments instead of the suspension allowance that may have been fixed. In the present case, the respondent ittedly resumed his duties on September 1, 1965, and continued to discharge them until July 3, 1967, when the appellant No.2 sent the aforesaid endorsement to him in pursuance of the orders of appellant No.1. The respondent is therefore, entitled to his full salary for the period between September 1, 1965, ad July 3, 1967 not witstanding the revival of the order of suspension dated August 21,1965. The said order dated July 3, 1967 can, therefore, be effective only from that date as held by the learned single Judge and it is bad in so far as it purports to place the respondent under suspension with effect from August 21, 1965. Inspector General of Police, Hymachal Pradesh vs. Munshi Ram, 1971(2) S.L.R. 39 (For Haryana) 16.38.Criminal offences by police officers and strictures by courts—procedure regarding.—(1) Where a preliminary enquiry or investigation into a complaint alleging the commission by an enrolled police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public, establishes a prima facie case, a judicial prosecution shall normally follow.

1.
Charge against police official regarding molestation of a girl. Rule 16.38 shows that it is the District Magistrate who, on receipt of information regarding the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection which his official relations with the public , is firstly to decide whether investigations of the complaint shall be conducted by a police officer or made over a selected Magistrate having first class powers. If a prima facie case is established, then a judicial prosecution has normally to follow. It is the District Magistrate who has to decide whether instead of a judicial protection the matter should be disposed of departmentally. Rule 16.38 (1) and (2) vests the power in the District Magistrate alone. The judicial prosecution is the rule and the departmental inquiry as an exception. The sources of power to direct departmental inquiry instead lays down the authority empowered to act. No. officer other than the District Magistrate who has to consider if a departure from judicial prosecution

would be justified and to give and valid reasons for the proposed departure. The jurisdiction to exercise the power under PPR 16.38(1) and (2) is given to the District Magistrate. A District Magistrate is other than an Addl. District Magistrate. The distinction between the post of a District Magistrate and an Addl. District Magistrate is quite clear and the two cannot be equated. By virtue of the notification, an Addl. District Magistrate may exercise all or any of the powers of the District Magistrate under the Criminal Procedure Code or under any other law for the time being in force, but he does not thereby acquire the status and rank of the District Magistrate. Whatever might be the powers of the Addl. District Magistrate to carry on the istration of the District, he is not appointed as a District Magistrate. There is an absence of a notification under Section 10(1) and thus the two above named officers are not appointed as District Magistrate. The exercise of power under PPR 16.38(1) and (2) is vested in a District Magistrate and could not by the side wind of a notification under Section 10(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code be conferred on an Addl. District Magistrate. The Addl. District Magistrate, who is invested with the powers of a District Magistrate, does not thereby attain the status of the District Magistrate as sub-section (3) of Section 10 itself makes clear. The fact that the Addl. District Magistrate may have all the powers of a District Magistrate may have all the powers of a District Magistrate does not make him a District Magistrate inasmuch as there can be only one person in the District which can be a District Magistrate and that is what is referred to in Rule 16.38(1) and (2). Malkiyat Singh vs. Delhi istration and others, 1989(3) S.L.R. 58. 2.
Charge of Bigamy against Police Head Constable. The disciplinary authority was not competent is issue the second show cause notice after issue of the first show cause notice and he could not direct taking the additional evidence by way of examination of the first wife of the applicant. He also pointed out that as contended by the respondents, P.P.R. 16.28 was not applicable to the present case. The applicant was informed on 9.1.1969 (Annexure ‘O’ to the petition) that “a Superintendent of Police, is empowered to make further investigation or direct such to be made before ing order P.P.R. 16.28. In the present case, P.P.R. 16.28 is not attracted and the disciplinary authority could not act under the provisions thereof because the said Rule envisages calling for the records of awards made by the subordinates. No rule, however, has been shown to us which prohibits or limits the powers of the disciplinary authority in directing the recording of fresh evidence in the light of the plea advance-by the delinquent officer in his reply to the show-cause-notice. In the present case, the applicant had taken the plea in his reply to the first show-cause-notice that he had contracted the second marriage with the consent of his first wife, who had been ailing for 13 years. Vinodi Lal vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 543.
3.
Colourable attempt to avoid effect of Rule 16.38 sub-rule (1). The allegations against Ram Kishan and others were that they had inflicted a knife injury on Mst. Batto, a Harijan woman and the medical report showed that the injury was with a blunt weapon though the injury was simple. He further said that S.P. ordered him to start a departmental inquiry against the plaintiff. There is no evidence that any immediate information was given to the District Magistrate of the complaint received against the plaintiff. Neither is there any evidence that the District Magistrate decided that the investigation shall be conducted by the police officers, who conducted it. The learned counsel for the Government further contended that the charge against the plaintiff in the departmental proceedings was a charge of negligence and not a charge in connection with the commission of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with public. But according to the final sentence in the summary of allegations this action amounted to gross negligence of duty and misconduct. It seems to us that it was a colourable attempt to a void the effect of Police Rule 16.38 sub-rule (1). It is a clear case of criminal offence and it was a mere device to call it gross negligence. Following the case Delhi istration vs. Chaman Shah, (1969) 3 SCR 653, we hold that as in this case there has been no compliance whatsoever of Rule 16.38, sub rule (1) the order of dismissal is illegal. Union of India vs. Ram Kishan, 1972 S.L.R. 11.

Commission of Criminal offence by Police Officer. Judicial prosecution is the rule and departmental enquiry is an exception. Malkiyat Singh vs. Delhi istration and others, 1989(2) RSJ 74.
5.
Complaint-Departmental proceedings. The Superintendent of Police is required to send information to the District Magistrate only when a criminal offence has been committed by a police officer “in connection with his official relations with the public”. In the present case, there is nothing on record to show that the petitioner was accused of having committed an offence in connection with his official relations with the public. It was during the preliminary enquiry, that some evidence came on the record to show that the petitioners had certain connection with the wife of Dharam Pal. The proceedings were initiated in the present case, on the basis of a complaint submitted by ASI Shkhbir Singh, and the complaint itself did not disclose the commission of a criminal offence by the petitioner in connection with his official relations with the public. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(7) S.L.R. 246.
6.
Condition of service. Police officers hold office during the pleasure of the President under Article 310 of the Constitution. The condition of their service can be regulated by the legislature under the proviso to Article 309 and the Police Act, 1861 may be regarded as such legislation. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R. 502.
7.
Concurrence of the District Magistrate not obtained before ing the order. It is not disputed that concurrence of the District Magistrate had not been obtained. In view of this, the order of removal ed against the petitioner for the criminal offence committed by him in connection with his official relation with the public was ed in violation of the said mandatory rule. The order shall thus be deepend to be a viod order. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh, 1990(2) S.L.R. 88.

Court cannot interpret rules so as to make, modify or amend them. Court cannot make law, it can merely interpret or construe it, and not modify or amend it under the cloak or guise of interpretation, though in this process of construction it may give the law shape, but this is permissible only within the strict limits of discernible legislative scheme or intent. AIR 1956 Punjab 102.
9.
Criminal Prosecutoin against police officer. Rule 16.38 prescribes-more correctly we may say Rule 16.38 lays down the guidelines of the procedure to be followed when a Superintendent of Police receives any complaint about the commission of a criminal offence by a police officer “in connection with his official relations with the public”. The Superintendent of Police is ened to give immediate information to the District Magistrate who is thereupon to decide whether the investigation of the complaint shall beconducted by a Police Officer or by a Magistrate. It is stated htat though’s judicial prosection shall normally follow’, the matter may be disposed of departmentally if the District Magistrate so orders, for reasons to be recorded. The further Departmental procedure is prescribed by the remaining clauses. It is clear that Rule 16.38 is not designed to be a condition precedent to the launching of a prosecution in a Criminal Court; it is in the nature of instructions to the Department and is not meant to be of the nature of a sanction or permission for the prosecution. Nor can it override the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act. State of Punjab vs. Charan Singh, 1981(1) S.L.R. 355.
10.
Criminal Prosecution Rule confined only to departmental enquiries. The only point pressed upon me is that the Courts below have gone wrong in holding that the compliance with Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, was not a condition precedent to the prosecution of a police officer in a court of law. I find no merit in this submission. A plain reading of the said Rule shows that its application is confined to departmental enquiries only. Lal Chand vs. The State, 1983(2) S.L.R 33.
11.
Delay in taking departmental proceedings after acquittal from Criminal Court. It was also follow that he would not only be entitled to be confirmed in his rank of Sub-Inspector of Police but his seniority as Sub-Inspector would also have to be properly determined attracting the further consequence of whatever opportunities that might accrue to him in the matter of promotion. A part from the view, which I have taken, that this was not permissible or legal, it seems difficult to justify the delay in taking such departmental action. No justification for this has even been attempted in the return in spite of a specific complaint of “harassment” and “vindictiveness” by reason of such departmental action being taken against him, after such delay. The whole of these proceedings have to be also viewed in the background of P.P.R. 16.38 which requires that every allegations of committing a criminal offence by a police officer in his relations with the public as a police officer having to be reported to the District Magistrate without loss of much time (three months) for him to decide whether the matter should be placed before a Court or, for reasons to be recorded by him in writing, only departmental action should be taken. Elementary fairness to a public servant would require that the sword of Democles should not be allowed to hang over him longer than necessary; otherwise there is the likehood of degeneraction into an engine of oppression. Whether the departmental action taken against the petitioner in this case was legal or illegal, mininum fairness required that the said action was taken at least expeditiously and not after so much unexplained delay as has unfortunately happened in this case. Shri Kundan lal vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and others, 1976(1) S.LR. 133.

Departmental enquiry after deviation from the normal rule of prosecution. After the completion of the departmental enquiry against him in pursuance of the said order. According to the learned counsel if the petitioner had felt aggrieved by this order he should have challenged it right at the stage when the departmental enquiry was launched against him. This submission of the learned counsel prima facie appears to be of some

weight but holds no water when examined minutely. It is nobody’s case that order Annexure P.3 was ever communicated to the petitioner at any stage. He thus never knew that the Deupty Commissioner had ed the order for initiating a departmental enquiry against him without recording any reasons for the same. Sarup Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 585. 13.
Departmental enquiry-Criminal Prosecution. The only object of this rule is that no offence alleged to have been committed by a police officer in connection his official relations with the public and brought to the notice of the Superintendent of Police should be disposed of departmentally ion accordance with the provisions of the rules found in Chapter XVI without obtaining the prior approval of the District Magistrate for that purpose. Judicial prosecution for such an offence is the normal rule and departmental action is an exception and it is only to bring the case within that exception that prior direction or order of a District Magistrate is required. In case the normal procedure of launching judicial prosecution is to be followed, there should be no necessity of obtaining the prior approval of the District Magistrate and certainly it was not the intention of rule 16.38 to obtain such a sanction in derogation of the relevant provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If the construction as sought to be placed by the learned counsel for the petitioners for rule 16.38 is acceded to, it would be difficult to reconcile the provisions of rules 16.11 and 16.12 with those of rule 16.38. Shri Beli Ram and others vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, 1981(1) S.L.R. 264.

Departmental enquiry--- Reduction in rank. It can easily be concluded that noncompliance of P.P.R. 16.38 is fatal to the departmental/enquiry held against the applicant. It cannot be disputed that under Rule 16.38, it was proper for the authority concerned to initiate legal proceedings against he applicant in the normal course. Since the deviation has been made from the normal rule and departmental proceedings were initiated against the applicant without seeking permission of the District Magistrate, the departmental enquiry conducted against the applicant is illegal. It was necessary that for initiating departmental enquiry against the applicant, the permission of the District Magistrate was obtained. The result of the above observations is that the departmental enquiry held against he applicant was not in consonance with the provisions as contained under Rule 16.38. Gurdyan Singh vs. State of H.P. and others, 1988(7) S.L.R. 174.
15. Departmental enquiry without the permission of District Magistrate not bad. A perusal of the charge-sheet set out leaves no manner of doubt that the allegations against the petitioner was (1) that he mixed up the bad characters of ilaqa (2) that he was found absent from the police station without permission on the night between 6/7-8-66 about 11.5 P.M. (3) that an entry in that respect was made in the daily at serial No. 26 dated 6th August, 1966. The said charges can be enquired into 16. Departmental inquiry. According to the plain intention of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, Vol.II, the District Magistrate is to decided for himself whether the enquiry was to be done by a Magistrate or by a police officer. The enquiry by a police officer may, not be desirable in many cases and it is not for the Superintendent of Police himself to suggest that a departmental enquiry should be launched. All that the Superintendent of Police is ened to do is to submit his report to the District Magistrate who alone is to decide what should be done. Rule 16.38 had been breached in two essential aspects and the enquiry had been initiated in violation of the elementary rules of procedure and the order of dismissal was set aside. Walaiti Ram vs. State of Punjab, 1965 Cur.L.J.1=1967 P.L.R.523 17. Departmental officer is not excepted to put his complaint in the form of a Petition. A Departmental officer is not excepted to put his complaint in the form of a petition. It may take the form of a departmental note or a confidential report. Sometime the information or accusation received may be oral or to be inferred from the conduct of the concerned police officer. The facts against him themselves may speak more eloquently than any piece of writing. A certain secrecy is often attached to information relating to the commission of an offence and it would be against human nature to expect that such information must always be in writing. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R.502 18. Disciplinary proceedings. It is not absolutely necessary that a list of prosecution witnesses must be given to the Government servant facing the inquiry to make him know the charges brought against him. Union of India vs. Suraj Bhan , I.L.R. (1970) 1 Delhi 275 19. Dismissal – Dispensing with enquiry.

Ashok Kumar, former Sub Inspector vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990(2) RSJ 505 20. Dismissal from service. Case not brought to the notice of District Magistrate.—S.S.P. failing to perform statutory obligation – Impugned order of dismissal cannot be sustained. Ex.Sub Inspector Mohinder Singh Cheema vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (2) RSJ 716 21. Dispensing with enquiry. There was no material before the Superintendent of Police to come to the conclusion that it was not reasonably practicable to hold enquiry in this case. The satisfaction of the Punishing Authority is the condition precedent for invoking the provisions of Proviso to Article 311 of the Constitution . A bare perusal itself shows that the Superintendent of Police has held that it was not reasonably practicable to hold departmental enquiry. I asked Mr.Rajiv Atma Ram, counsel for the respondent to show the material on the basis of which this satisfaction was based. There is hardly any material on record on the basis of which an opinion can be formed that it was not reasonably practicable to hod a departmental enquiry. Consequently, the order of dismissal in the present case is wholly arbitrary, unreason able and capricious and, therefore, cannot be sustained. The order of the Superintendent of Police is clearly outside the scope of Article 311 of the constitution and consequently it was incumbent upon the Superintendent of Police to have held enquiry in the present case before punishing the petitioner. Ashok Kumar, Sub Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (3) S.L.R. 127 22.District Magistrate gave sanction without recording any reasons. In the present case the complaint received by the Superintendent of Police (City) Delhi indicated the commission by the appellant of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. The complaint fell within Rule 38(1) and should have been dealt with accordingly. Nevertheless there was no investigation of the kind prescribed by Rule 38(1) . The District Magistrate did not direct any preliminary investigation nor was any prima facie case against the appellant as a result of such an investigation established. In state of Uttar Pradesh vs. Babu Ram Upadhya 1961(2) SCR 679, the Court by majority held that the provisions of paragraph 486 Rule 1 of the U.P.Police Regulations were mandatory and that a departmental action against the police officer in disregard there of was invalid. The minority held that the paragraph was directory and as there was substantial compliance with its provisions the departmental proceedings were not invalid. In Jagan Nath vs. Sr. Supdt. of Police, Ferozepur, AIR 1962 Punjab 38, the Punjab High Court held that the provisions of rule 16.38(1) and (2) were mandatory and that a departmental inquiry held without following its provisions was illegal. It is not necessary to decide inquiry held without following its provisions was illegal. It is not necessary to decide in this case whether the provisions of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules are mandatory or directory. Even assuming that there rule is directory we find that there has been no substantial compliance with its provisions. The complaint fell within rule 16-38 and it was for the District Magistrate to decide who should investigate the case. No investigation of any kind was made under the directions. Without obtaining his directions, the Superintendent of Police held an inquiry, and ed on order of censure. The order was set aside by the Deputy Inspector General. Thereafter by D.O. letter No. 2165-C, the Superintendent of Police, asked for the sanction of the District Magistrate to proceed departmentally. Evan at this stage, the District Magistrate was no informed that the Superintendent of Police held an inquiry and ed an order of censure and that, his order was set aside by the Deputy Inspector General. The inquiry held by the Superintendent of Police was not authorised by the District Magistrate nor did it receive his approval. The District Magistrate gave his sanction without recording any reasons and without applying his mind to the requirement of Rule 16-38. In the circumstances, we are constrained to hold the departmental action taken against the respondent is invalid. Delhi istration vs. Chanan Shah 1969 S.L.R.217. 23. District Magistrate ordering departmental enquiry. The report of the Vigilance Department was enclosed with the papers forwarded by the Superintendent of Police, the District Magistrate must be deemed to have made a perusal of it and the order ed for a departmental enquiry was a full compliance with the Police Rules. Ram Singh Dhawan vs. The State of Punjab, 1967 P.L.R. 763 24. District Magistrate to decide as to whether the investigation of a particular type of complaint shall be conducted by a Police Officer or by a Magistrate. The Legislature has itself performed the essential function of creating an agency to detect crimes and what has been delegated to the Executed Government is the task to implementing the purposes and the objects of the Act. It would be trite to say that an effective and proper method of implementing the policy of the Legislature would be to frame rules on the subject for ensuring uniformity of treatment. The crimes may be committed by the public at large or by their of the agency created by the statute. The procedure for investigation of these crimes is essentially a matter of detail and the task of providing for this procedure has been left to the Executive authority. The impugned rule only empowers a District Magistrate to step in and to make a choice between one agency or the other to investigate a particular class of crimes committed by police officers. It falls squarely within clause (a) of sub-section (2) of Section 46 and has the added protection of clause (c) of sub-section of the same section. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab, 1976(1) S.L.R. 5 25. Enquiry—Departmental proceedings. I am of the opinion that this was merely a formal order ed in pursuance of the decision of the Chief Commissioner taken on 11th of January, 1977, in which discussion even the District Magistrate was present and he merely carried out the decision of http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
the Chief Commissioner and in furtherance of the same ed the order dated 12th of January, 1977. It is again not disputed before me that under subrule (2), there has to be application of mind by the District Magistrate alone and the moment it is found that he did not apply his own mind but ed the order on the dictates of some superior authority, then such an order would be no order in the eyes of law and would stand vitiated. The question which is to be seen is whether on the facts of the present case, the order dated 12th of January, 1977, was ed by the District Magistrate of his own or at the behest of the Chief Commissioner, pursuant to the decision dated 11th of January, 1977, in which the District Magistrate was also present. As already found above, the District Magistrate was merely carrying out the order of the Chief Commissioner dated 11th of January, 1977, and, therefore, the order dated 12th of January, 1977, ed by the District Magistrate cannot be allowed to stand in law and deserves to be quashed. Sita Ram, Sub-Inspector of Police vs. Union Territory of Chandigarh and others, 1981(1) S.L.R. 438 26. Enquiry officer recommended his exoneration. A State Government cannot order disciplinary enquiry under R. 1637, 16-38 and 16-40 through an officer other than a police officer or Magistrate. The Rule, therefore, empowers the State Government to conduct an enquiry by such an officer if istrative exigencies so require. The proviso further empowers the State Government to order enquiry under CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, where it is of the opinion that it is not feasible to conduct an enquiry in accordance with the procedure laid down under the P.P.S. Rules. It can also order such an enquiry, if a t enquiry is found necessary with officers who are governed by the CCS (CCA) Rules. If the enquiry is ordered under R. 16-38 (as was done by the Addel. Commissioner of Police in the present case) the enquiry has to be conducted by a police officer and under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules. In forming its opinion the State Government must address itself to a question whether it is feasible to conduct an enquiry under R. 16-38 or not. The procedure under R. 16-38 and R. 16-42 is thus mutually exclusive. If there is no inquiry under R. 16-38 then alone an inquiry can be ordered under R. 14-42. If R. 16-38 and R. 16-42 are read together it is clear that once an enquiry is held under R. 16-38 no enquiry can be held simultaneously or afterwards under R. 16-42. Shyamdev vs. union of India and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 784. 27. Executive instructions – Absence of specific provision in the rules the police authorities are bound to follow instruction. In case the competent or the controlling authority cannot release the official whose assistance is being sought the delinquent official must be informed so that he can suggest another name. The circular upon which the petitioner is relaying takes that principles to its logical conclusion. M. Bagai, learned council for the respondents, was unable to show me any provision in the Police Act or in the Punjab Police Rules by which the respondents have been permitted to ignore the istrative instructions issued from time to time by the Government of India. In my view, in the absence of a specific provision in the Punjab Police Rules to the contrary, the said circular of the Government of India was applicable and the police authorities were ened to follow the same. I reject the contention of Mr. Bagai that the police authorities were not bound by the instructions given in the circular. The non-application of mind by the authorities on this plea ha resulted in injustice. This finding by itself can be made the basis for setting aside the departmental enquiry. But for the reasons which I give herein below I am not setting aside the enquiry proceedings or the impugned orders. Instead in exercise of discretion vested in this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India I mould the relief. The petitioner who was a constable in the Delhi Police has been put of service for the last 16 years, having been dismissed in the year 1968. In the year 1971when he filed the present petition, he was 43 years old, as per his ing affidavit. As to what the petitioner has been doing for the last 16 years in not clear from the petition. Mr. Budhiraja’s contention is that he was without a job and in fact has been idle. Whether he was working or not is not the question to be decided. What is to, be seen is whether he can be said to be physically and mentally fit to undergo the hardships which a constable is expected to face? Would he be able to because of the long interval, carry out the orders of his superiors without any reservation? The petitioner now is 56 years old. In this for intervening period of 16 years, for reasons beyond his control, he could not take part in parades, physical training exercises, games and other training programmes which are essential for a member of police force to remain not only physically fit but also mentally alert. He has been deprived of leading an active, organised and disciplined life. Jiwan Singh vs. The , Union Territory of Delhi and others, 1985(1) S.L.R. 781. 28. Expression “immediate” means “within reasonable” time – The primary justification of rule 16.38 being inserted in the Rules is to ensure priority being given to a criminal trial in preference to a departmental enquiry when a police officer is accused of the commission of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. Under Section 190 of the Criminal Procedure Code, cognizance of an offence may be taken by a criminal court either on a complaint or on a police report or otherwise. This is an additional reason why the meaning of the word ‘complaint’ in the rule can not be restricted only to a written petition. In the present case, the accusation against the plaintiff appellant was that he come into possession of Rs. 150/- in the course of his official duties. He was entrusted with that money. His failure to for the same amounted ton criminal breach of trust within the meaning of Section 405 of Indian Penal Code. He was therefore, entitled to the protection of rule 16.38. The direct institution of departmental action against him in complete disregard of the said rule was, therefore, illegal and ultra vires Rule 16.38. The departmental enquiry and the punishment imposed on the plaintiff by the order dated 20.2.1958 are, therefore, quashed. As the suit of the plaintiff had been dismissed on a preliminary ground, the case is remanded to the trial Court for trial on merits as to whether the police authorities would not like to comply with rule 16.38 and if so whether the plaintiff appellant is to be placed in his former position as officiating Sub-Inspector of Police or on suspension till the matter against him is finally decided and what should be his pay and if he is entitled to the arrears of pay claimed by him and such other matters. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R. 502. 30. Fresh enquiry on same charge – The impact and effect of the word “immediate” in the opening part of rule 16.38(1) of the Police Rules. Permitting resort to the said rule after such a long time, would in my opinion, amount o ignoring the statutory requirements of the said rule. I, therefore, hold that so much of the order of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Ambala Range (Annexure ‘I) as directs compliance with the provisions of Police Rule 16.38(1) by placing the matter before the District Magistrate, Rohtak at this stage, is contrary to the provisions of law, and has to be struck down. The order of the appellate authority quashing the order of punishment ed by the Superintendent of Police, Rohtak, is manifestly correct and has to be upheld. Bhajan Singh vs. Shri Bahal Singh, S.P. Rohtak and another, 1967 S.L.R. 601. 31. Import and effect of word ‘Immediate’ – Learned counsel has then contended that the observation made in the confidential report of the petitioner (Annexure “H”) which have been quoted in an earlier part of this judgment, and the warning istered to him therein and on April 17, 1965 (Annexure ‘C’) are mala fide and should be quashed. Without entering into the allegations of mala fides, I think the Superintendent of Police had no jurisdiction to ister a warning to the petitioner (warning itself being a punishment), on allegations which were still pending enquiry before the departmental authorities. Same applies to the observations in the confidential report relating to the Chuchakwas liquor taking incident. For the foregoing reasons I set aside and quash the order, dated April 17, 1965 (Annexure ‘C’) istering warning to the petitioner and direct that the portion relating to the Chuchakwas incident from the confidential report (Annexure ‘H’) shall also be deleted.

Raj Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 1991(2) RSJ 342. 33. Investigation conducted by D.I.G. – Investigation has ittedly been conducted at least by the D.I.G. into the complaint without complying with the provisions of Rule 16.38(1) of the Police Rules. The entire investigation proceedings against the petitioner in this case have, therefore, been vitiated on that . Avtar Singh Uppal vs. The Inspector General of Police, Chandigarh, 1966 Cur. L.J. 318. 34. Investigation disclosing prima facie case a judicial prosecution should normally follow – The provisions of sub-rules (1) and (2) of Rule 38 are attached in cases of complaint received by the Superintendent of Police, indicating the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. In such a case, the Superintendent of Police is required to bring the complaint to the notice of the District Magistrate who is decide whether the investigation of the complaint should be made by a selected Magistrate having first class powers or should be left to a police officer. If the investigation discloses a prima facie case, a judicial prosecution should normally follow unless for reasons to be recorded in writing the District Magistrate directs that the matter should be disposed of departmentally. Delhi istration vs. Chanan Shah, 1969 S.L.R. 217. 35.
Investigation – Offence against police officer – Coming to the facts of the instant case it may be pointed out that in view of the opening words of the said Regulation namely “when the offence alleged against a police officer, amounts to an offence only under Section 7 of the Police Act,” the said Regulation also stands on the same footing as Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rule. In mahendra Singh vs. State, AIR 1956 Allahabad 96 a special Bench of the Allahabad High Court held that Section 7 of he Police AC provides for the departmental punishment of inferior police officers. It was also held that the said section did not it make provision for any inquiry, it merely provided that the exercise of disciplinary powers shall be subject to rules framed by the State Government and Chapter 32 of the Police Regulations laid down these rules which provided for a departmental trial for punishment to be inflicted under Section 7 of the Police Act. In this view of the matter it is apparent that like Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, the procedure prescribed in Regulation486 (1) (3) of the Regulations had to be confined to departmental proceedings under Section 7 of the Police Act and the High Court was clearly in error in taking the view that notwithstanding the provision contained in the proviso to Section 5A of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the undisputed fact that the Inspector of Criminal Branch, Criminal Investigation Department, who conducted the enquiry in the instant case had been duly authorized by the State Government as contemplated by the said proviso, the investigation was vitiated in law on the ground that the said Inspector was

Mandatory—Departmental enquiry. The primary challenge to these orders in on the ground that the procedure prescribed in Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, as applicable to Haryana, has not been complied with the petitioner has been materially prejudiced by the said noncompliance. The precise argument is that on the basis of the preliminary enquiry held under sub-rule(1) of the said Rules, the District Magistrate concerned had to resoned order for not prosecuting the petitioner in judicial Court which otherwise is a the normal rule. A bare reading of this order manifestly indicates that the District Magistrate has not recorded any reson whatsoever for deviating form the normal course of launching a prosecution against the petitioner and ordering a no compliance of the requirements of sub-rule (2). The District Magistrate who has been arrayed as respondent No. 4 to this writ petition has not even cared to file a reply to the same. Sarup Singh vs . State of Haryana and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 609.

Misuse of power by police officer. Rule 16.38 however, has no application where information of the commission of such an offence has been received by any Court. The Rule is , however, has on a salutary principle that a complaint of the commission of an offence against the Police Officer should not be dealt with by the Police istration itself and should be left to be dealth with by the District Magistrate, and where investigation discloses a prima facie case a judicial prosecution should normally follow unless the District Magistrate, for a reasons to be recorded, decides, that the officer concerned may be dealt with departmentally. It was, therefore, consistent with this Rule that Jain. J referred the matter for inquiry to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate has found a prima facie case against two officers, has exonerated the third has given the benefit of doubt to the fourth . I would direct that the Commissioner of Police would initiate appropriate proceedings at his own level or at such lower but senior level as having regard to all the circumstances, he consider to be necessary to deal with the allegations made against the delinquent officers, who have been indicated in the two reports and who may otherwise appear to him to be concerned and to consider what steps are necessary to deal generally with the problem of misuse, abuse or excessive use of power by the Police officers and take such action as may be considered necessary by him.

Obligatory on the part of S.S.P to bring the case to the notice of District Magistrate. It was asked from the S.S.P why he did not bring this case to the notice of the District Magistrate as required by Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules. He could not give any proper reason in of his. It may be pointed out that the provisions of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Rules deal with holding of departmental enquiry as envised by Article311 of the Constitution of India. It was obligatory according to Rule 16.38 for the S.S.P to bring this case to the notice of the District Magistrate and it was for the District Magistrate to decide whether a departmental enquiry should be held or a criminal prosecution should be ordered. The S.S.P. failed to perform the statutory obligation. In my opinion, the S.S.P, has violated the mandatory provisions of Rule 16.38 dismissing the petitioner form service summarily without following of Rule 16.38. mohinder Singh Cheema, Ex-Sub-Inspector vs. State of Punjab through Home Secretary, Chandigarh, 1990 (5) S.L.R. 90.

Opinion of District Magistrate. Rule 16.38 is really meant to have a completely objective and unbiased consideration by the District Magistrate whether a particular case relating to official relations of the Police with the public should be tried by a Magistrate having first class powers or investigated departmentally by the police authorities themselves. But there may be case which are not required to be forwarded to the District Magistrate. Madan Gopa vs. The Punjab State, 1968 P>L.R 874.

Order of Dismissal by an authority subordinate to the appointing authority. There cannot be better case of illegality of the order that the author of the order himself felt that the order cannot be sustained. It is also clear that the Punishing Authority of the petitioner was D.I.G. as he was promoted under his orders. Consequently, the decision to dispense with the enquiry could be taken by the D.I.G. In this view of the matter the impugned order is illegal. There is no material on the file to show that the punishing authority was satisfied that it was not reasonably practical to hold enquiry against the petitioner. Therefore, the order of dismissal is arbitrary, unreasonable and capricious as it denies equality before law and equal protection to the person concerned and, therefore, violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. For this reason, the order of Dismissal form service being violating of Article 14 of the Constitution is bad in the eye of Law.

Police Department cannot pick and choose the cases for obtaining the sanction of District Magistrate. There has been no explanation at all why the petitioner’s case was not put up before the District Magistrate when the case of Kishan Chand was duly put up, the mere fact of his arrest or his having incited the Police Force demonstrating before the Home Minister’s residence would not make any distinction in principle. If in the case of Kishan Chand it was a case of his allegedly committing a criminal offence, on identically the same accusation against the petitioner and in exactly similar and his case was put up before the District Magistrate under rule 16.38 for his orders, the case against the petitioner also had to be similarly put up; in other words, the Police Department cannot pick and choose at its sweet will, the kind of cases which they would put up under Rule 16.38 to the District Magistrate for his orders when accusations were identically the same. Such a course, is permitted is likely to greatly undermine the confidence of the police force in their official superiors. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975 (2) S.L.R. 683.

Police Officer committing offence in relation to public. Petitioner, a Police Officer, during performance of his duties came in to with the drivers of trucks which were stopped and not challaned by him. The petitioner committed a criminal offence under Section 217 India Penal Code. The Petitioner was proceeded against departmental without obtaining orders of District Magistrate to enquiry in to his conduct under rule 16.38 (1) of Punjab Police Rules.
Whenever a Police officer in the discharge of his official functions comes to have official relations with the public and commits a criminal offence in connection with those relation rule 16.38 (1) of Punjab Police Rules becomes applicable irrespective of the fact whether any member of the public was aggrieved of his conduct or not. It could not be contended that before rule 126.38 became applicable, member of the public should be aggrieved of the conduct of police Official. A Police Officer by committing an offence in connection with his relations with a member of public fact be benefiting that person by not proceeding against him under the law when that person makes himself liable to be proceeded against and so he may not be aggrieved of the conduct of the Police Officer.

46.
Prosecution—Offences committed by Police Officers. It may be noticed that the three decisions of this Court which have been referred to above related to departmental inquires and not criminal prosecutions for offences committed by the delinquent police offices. The pronouncements in those cases will therefore govern only cases where departmental inquires are held in contravention of the procedure prescribed by the Police Rules. The reason for a special procedure being prescribed in the Rule for investigations before departmental inquiries are held against delinquent police officers is not far off to see. N the very nature of their duties, the of the police force would often stand exposed to criticism and complaints by not only the o f the public but also by the of the force themselves and consequently they stand placed more vulnerable than member of other. Government service, of being implicated in false or exaggerated charges. In order to protect them from false implication and resultant proceedings, the Government had thought it necessary to have initial screening of the Complaints received against of the police force by the District Magistrate. Such Screening would however extend only to matters which fall within the Zone of departmental action and it could never extend to cases where the offences alleged to have been committed would attract investigation under the Criminal Procedure Code in the same manner the investigation would be attracted if the offence complained of had been committed by any member of the public. That t he procedure prescribed in Rule 16.38 has only a limited field of operation i.e applicable only to departmental inquires and punishments could be seen from the fact that clause 3 of the Rule ens every Magistrate to whom a complaint against a police officer is referred by the District Magistrate for judicial enquiry to

The Police Rules, 1934 report the details of the case to the District Magistrate in order to enable the District Magistrate to forward the report to the Superintendent of Police. The clause further says that if the District Magistrate himself takes cognizance of a case, he should of his own accord send a report to the Superintendent of Police. Clause IV of Rule 16.38 also throws light on the matter an brings out the objective in greater clarity. This clause sets out that in order to protect the interests of police officers serving in districts where petition mongering activities are notorious, the District Magistrate can direct that all petitions complaining about police officers shall be presented to him personally so that he can scrutinize them to find out whether he petitioner are of a frivolous nature of they have been engineered by factious groups in the districts etc. in fact, the words used in the clause are of a tell-tale nature viz. “complaints against police officers in those districts where abuses of law with the object of victimizing such officers or hampering investigation in rife.
All these features make it clear that the purpose underlying the rule is to enable the District Magistrate and the District Superintendent of Police to exercise personal control and Superintendent over the complaints received against of the police force in the performance of their duties and enable the District Magistrate of ensure that the complaint is not a baseless or by a selected Magistrate. The procedure envisaged by the Rule is for effective check being exercised against victimization of efficient and honest police officers on the one hand and favoritism being shown to the delinquent police officers on the other. These rules were not intended to replace and certainly cannot over-ride the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Full Bench was therefore in error in taking the view that the Rules lay down a special procedure for investigation of all offences committed by the member for investigation of all offences committed by the of the police force and, that they have over-riding effect over the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code in of Sections 4 and 5 of the Code. State of Punjab vs. Raj Kumar, 1988(2) S.L.R. 83 47. Provisions are mandatory. As the mandatory provisions of the Police Rules 16.38 were not followed, it must be held that the departmental enquiry which was being conducted against the petitioner was altogether illegal and invalid. Air 1962 Punjab 38 48. Resort to departmental proceedings. Provisions of Rule 16.38(1) and (2) being mandatory, compliance with the same is imperative. As provided by sub-rule (2) when on an inquiry under sub-rule (1) a prima facie case is established indicating the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relation with the public a judicial prosecution is normally to follow. But the District Magistrate has been given power the order departmental proceeding instead, for reasons to be recorded by him. Failure to record reasons for proceedings departmentally instead of judicial prosecution, renders the order illegal. Nand Nandan Sarup vs. The District Magistrate, Patialal, 1966 Cur. L.J. 608= P.L.R. 747 49.Rule applicable only if criminal offence has been committed by a Police Officer “in connection with his official relations with the Public”. Rule 16.38 has no relevance to the facts of the persent case, and therefore, it has no application. Even a cursory reading of the language employed by the above quoted portion of Rule 16.38 shows that it is not every type of offence which is required to be brought to the notice of the District Magistrate. The plain reading of the rule suggests very clearly that the criminal offence which is required to be brought to the notice of the District Magistrate should be one which should b e found to have been committed “in connection with his official relations with the public”. Therefore, unless it is found that the criminal offence, which a particular officer is said to have committed, was committed by him in connection with his official relations with the public, no question of the application of Rule 16.38 would arise.

If this rule is not meticulously followed in its letter and spirit, it could thwart the statutory right of a District Magistrate to order a departmental enquiry against a delinquent police officer for, if the investigation is made without a prior reference to him the evidence collected in the course of such an investigation could not be used against be used against the delinquent officer in departmental proceedings at a subsequent stage. An interpretation which destroys or diminished the allowed object of a statute should be avoided at all costs. As already stated the object of the Act is to make the police force a more efficient instrument for the prevention and detection of crime. The Act does contemplate the holding of departmental enquiries against negligent police officer. Rule 16.38(1) of the Rules in mandatory in character and the evidence collected in an investigation held in derogation of this rule cannot be used against police officer in a criminal prosecution. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab, 1976(1) S.L.R. 5. 51. Scope. Rule 1638 relates to a criminal offence committed by a Police Officer in connection with the official business of the public. AIR 1956 Punjab 102. 52. Speaking order—Departmental enquiry. The impugned order of the District Magistrate (Annexure P.3) is a self-contained order. It has not been ed in the context of any other notice or proposal by any other authority. The District Magistrate make a reference to the departmental enquiry held against the petitioner under sub-rule(1), finds the charges to have been prima facie established an then suddenly in paragraph 2 of the order, directs the initiation of a departmental enquiry against. Him No. reason whatsoever as required by sub-rule (2) for deviating from the normal course of prosecution has been recorded. Sarup Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 585. 53. Suggestion is not to be equated with the expression “dictate”. The District Magistrate is the superior most. The suggestions by the Superintendent of Police to the District Magistrate (an officer superior in rank) cannot be equated with ‘dictate’ or a suggestion ‘ meanigful or otherwise’. Rule 16.38(2) ens objectivity to the functions of the District magistrate, again in the larger public interest. It is another matter if that objectivity could be pointed out as utterly lacking of there was no application of the mind. Since, Rule 16.38(2) postulates judicial prosecution to be the normal course and departmental action to be an exception, it ens giving of reasons by the District Magistrate, if the normal course is to be deviated from. Ram Phal vs. State of Haryana and ors, 1980(3) S.L.R. 186. 54. Tearing off the Rojanmcha by the police Head Constable. A criminal offence was committed by the plaintiff in connection with his official relations with the public inasmuch as he owed a duty to discharge his official function which are in relation with the public. His tearing off the Rapat Rojnamcha is another offence in connection with his official relations with the public inasmuch as Rapt Rojnamcha is a public record maintained in accordance with law and a police official is not expected to tear it off. No substantial argument has been addressed to substantiate that the act committed by the plaintiff does not fall within the purview of Rule 16.38(1). All the ingredients for the applicability of the said rule stood satisfied. It has not been stated at the bar that any of the ingredients was missing. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh 1990(2) S.L.R 88. 16-39. Rules regarding proceedings against police officers reported to be habitually corrupt. In all cases in which a report imputing corruption to a police officer is brought on to his personal file, character roll or fauji misal, an attested copy of the report shall be furnished, under the orders of the officer maintaining the record in question, to the police officer concerned, and his receipt therefor shall be filed with the report in question. 16.40. Method of dealing with charges of corruption.--- Charges of corruption shall be enquired into in the manner prescribed in this chapter for departmental enquiries generally. Charges of specific acts of corruption shall be thoroughly investigated by a competent officer, the provisions of rule 16.27 being utilized, if necessary, and the preliminary investigation shall be followed by judicial prosecution or a departmental charge according to the circumstances of each case. Departmental charges based on a general record of dishonesty may also be entertained in accordance with rule 16.25(2). It is further ordered that, if five reputable persons in making a written complaint regarding corruption, otherwise than in regard to a case in which they are personally interested directly or indirectly, concerning any police official, the departmental superior of the officer in question shall be bound to make full investigation and to inform the complainants of the result. SYNOPSIS 1. Departmental Enquiry initiated without requisite permission. 2. Sanction violative of the principles of fair play and natural justice. COMMENTS 1. Departmental Enquiry initiated without requisite permission. The requirements of P.P.R. 16-40 is that further action in each case is to be taken after obtaining orders of the istration on completion of enquiries/investigation made by the Superintendent of Police, Anti Corruption. I desired the production of the original file in which the permission of the Lt. Governor under P.P.R. 16-40 for taking departmental action against the petitioner was obtained. The original file produced shows that permission for departmental action under P.P.R. 16.40 was granted by the Lt. Governor on 19th December, 1974. The action of instituting a departmental enquiry on permission under P.P.R 16.40 Reghubir Singh vs. The Delhi istration and others, 1981(1) S.L.R. 826. 2. Sanction violative of the principles of fair play and natural justice. The District Magistrate on the report of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate took a decision that neither departmental proceedings nor the judicial prosecution was called for. I called upon the counsel for the respondents to produce the enquiry report of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate as well as the decision of the District Magistrate. And I have been informed that those have been http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

destroyed. The copy of the report of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and the decision of the District Magistrate was to brought to the notice of the Lt. Government when permission of the LT. Govrnor under P.P.R. 16.40 was obtained. The Lt. Governor was not even informed of the fact that a complaint containing identical allegations against the petitioner was enquired into by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate under P.P.R. 16.38(1). The Lt. Governor was also not apprised of the fact that the District Magistrate had taken a decision that no departmental proceedings be takne against the petitioner on the aforesaid allegations as those remained unsubstantiated. The obtaining of the permission from the Lt. Governor is this clearly vitiated as it violates the principles of fair play and antural justice. Raghubir Singh vs. The Delhi istration and others, 1981(1) S.L.R. 826 16.41. Special rules or testings suspicions of corruption in case of upper subordinates.—When an upper subordinate is suspected of being generally corrupt, but definite charges cannot be farmed under rule 16.40 ante, such upper subordinate shall ordinarily be transferred to another district. If the Superintendent of that district arrives at a considered conclusion that the officer concerned is corrupt, the officer shall be called on to show-cause why his increment of pay an promotion should not be stopped until he had satisfied his superiors that he has reformed his habits.

Principles of the Criminal Law and Police Organization.-- The Criminal law of India and the Police organization which is based upon it, are both founded on the principle that public order depends essentially upon the responsibility of every member of the community within the law to prevent offences and to arrest offenders. The magisterial and police organization is set up to enforce, control and assist this general responsibility. This fundamental principle must be thoroughly understood and borne constantly in mind by police officers of all ranks, but more especially by gazetted officers and upper subordinates. Instructions as to the general relations between police and Magistrates are contained in Chapter I of these Rules and some further detailed instructions are placed in this chapter. The ideal to be aimed at in respect of relations with the public is that every police officer, of whatever rank, should be regarded by ever law -abiding person as a wise and impartial friend and a protector against injury to his person and property. In proportion as this ideal is approached, the police will receive the information and assistance which they need, in order to combat crime successfully. When confidence and cooperation are lacking, private persons and village officials resort to connivance at crime and to seeking redress for their own losses through treaty with criminals; the police are isolated in their efforts to prevent and detect offences, and can hope for but a small measure of success. The proper relations between the police and the public in a district depend primarily upon the personal attitude of the Superintendent, and the example set by him and enforced upon his subordinates. The most important duties of a Superintendent are to know the people of his district and to know what his subordinates are doing. Such knowledge can only be gained by the fullest personal accessibility, activity in touring, thorough and intelligent supervision and a sympathetic interest in the life of the district and the facts and difficulties of the work of his own men. He must inspire confidence in his subordinates, at well as in the public. While alert to check tyranny, dishonesty and other abuses by his subordinates, he must be as accessible to them as to non-officials and ready at all times to help them in their difficulties and them against the evil influences, which they have to face. This should be the attitude of all supervising officers. They should ensure direct access to themselves unimpeded by their subordinates, and must be ready to give a patient hearing to all complaints and grievance, but must avoid creating any impression of spying which would destroy the confidence and undermine the authority of their officers. 21-2. Ilaqa Magistrate--Relations with.-- The relations between the Ilaqa Magistrate and the Police officers with whom he has to deal should be both cordial and intimate, and every opportunity shall be taken to keep him informed of the state of crime in his Ilaqa Conference between Magistrates and police officers, at which difficulties on either side can be discussed and remedies devised, should be encouraged; police officers coming in with chalans should take the opportunity of obtaining an interview with the Ilaqa Magistrate and discussing with him the state of crime in their jurisdictions; and prosecuting officers, who form a valuable link between the investigating officer and the magistracy, should be instructed to on to Magistrates an information of interest of importance regarding criminal matter on which they may be aware. When a Magistrate visits the local area of a police station, the Sub-Inspector should be make an effort to attend at his camp and should offer his assistance as well as discuss with him all matters concerning crime. It is, however, not intended that, in such cases, the Sub-Inspector should leave important duties in order to remain in attendance throughout the tour. 21-3. Zaildars, Inamdars, Heen and Village Watchmen.--(1) The conditions of appointment and removal, and the duties and remuneration of zaildars, inamdars, and heen are set forth in the Land Revenue Rules (see Land Revenue Rule 9) with which gazetted and upper subordinate police officers should be familiar. While these village officials have many duties besides those connected with the suppression of crime, capacity to assist the criminal istration is one of the factors considered in making appointments, and failure in this duty is a ground for removal from office or forfeiture of emoluments. In the case of heen, definite duties in respect of reporting and preventing offences are prescribed by the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Land Revenue Rules (see Land Revenue Rule 16 and 20) require them to attend the summons of all officers having jurisdiction in the estate in which they are appointed to assist all Government officials in the execution of their public duties; to supply information; to assist, if so ordered by the Collector, in the provision on payment of supplies of transport to Government officers on duty, and generally to represent the people of their estates in their relation with Government. Zaildars and inamdars are required by the Land Revenue rules to report to the police heinous crime and the presence in the zails of bad characters; investigations and arrests; to see that heen perform their duties properly; to notify all orders of Government in their zails and to obey all such orders as require their personal obedience to exert their influence to secure within their zails prompt obedience to all orders of Government; to assist all Government officers in the execution of their duties, to supply them with information and to attend them when they visit their zails. (2) It is the duty of gazetted police officers and inspectors to take particular note of the work of zaildars, inamdars and heen. These officials should be encouraged in the performance of their duties and suitably rewarded when they do well; serious or persistent neglect of duty should be brought to the notice of the Superintendent, and by him to that of the District Magistrate. In the periodical inspections of police stations mention shall always be made of the degree of assistance received by the police from the zaildars and other village officials of the jurisdiction, and of particularly meritorious work or noteworthy dereliction of duty on the part of individuals. (3) Gazetted officers should from time to time, record remarks in the books kept for the purpose by zaildars and inamdars regarding the extent to which such officials fulfil the purpose of their appointment in so far as the police are concerned. Notes may also appropriately be made by gazetted officers in the police station minute book ( No.13) and in Part IV of Village Crime Books regarding particular zaildars, inamdars and heen. (4) The village watchmen, or chaukidar, is a village servant whose chief duty is the watch and ward of the village. He is required to carry reports for the heen, to assist him in tracing offenders and to make arrests ad authorized by law. He is responsible to the District Magistrate for the performance of his duties. Chaukidars are also the agency for the reporting of births and deaths occurring in the rural tracts. For the purpose of recording vital statistics they attend at the police station within the jurisdiction of which their villages are situated at certain appointed times, and these occasions are made use of to disseminate items of news and orders connected with the preventive and detective duties of the village officers. The rules regarding the appointment, dismissal, powers, duties and responsibilities of watchmen are framed by Government under Section 39-A of the Punjab Laws Act of 1872. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
21-4. Duties of Police under local and special laws.--Many of the most important and most frequently exercised functions of the police derive from local and special laws. In some cases powers so derived have been specially referred to in different chapters of these rules, but, irrespective of such references, a knowledge of the provision of all local and special laws, more or less comprehensive according to the duties of his rank, is required of every trained police officer. The constitution of the Police Force itself rests on a special law, the Police Act (V of 1861). The istration of the Excise Act, in co-operation with officials of the Excise Department, is one of the most important of the duties of the police. Under this Act, all police officers of and above the rank of head constable are invested with the powers of excise officers 1st class, and all constables with those of excise officers, 3rd class. The control of crime, especially in rural areas, depends largely upon the Punjab Laws Act, the Registration of Habitual Offenders Act and the Criminal Tribes Act. The Arms act contains cognizable offences of first class importance, and imposes on the police important duties in connection with the inspection of licenses. The Cantonment and Municipal Act impose very extensive and varied duties upon police officers serving in areas to which they apply in relation to the enforcement of byelaws of all sorts. The powers and duties of the police in relation to fires also emanate from the Municipal Act. The same Act, together with the Hackney Carriage Act, Indian Motor Vehicles Act, Prevention of Cruelty of Animals act and certain sec-control of traffic. The Indian Extradition Act governs the dealings of the police in respect of criminals with Indian States. Many other Acts give powers or impose duties in respect of arrests, custody, search and inspection in relation to particular classes of offence. 21-5. Absconders and Harbourers.--(1) A Vital factor in both the detection and prevention of crime is the execution of the law in respect of absconding and harbouring. The provisions of the law are adequate to prevent both these offences but their proper and comprehensive istration demands the constant attention of Magistrates and supervising police officers. The absence or prevalence of absconding and harbouring are among the acid tests of the efficiency of the criminal istration. Instructions as to the taking out and execution of warrants when persons, whose arrest is required, are not immediately found, are contained in rule 26.5. This is the first essential. Under Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, any Court may at any time issues a proclamation against a persons for whose arrest that court has issued a warrant. All that is necessary is that the court should be satisfied, not necessarily by evidence, that the said person “ has absconded or is concealing himself so that such warrant cannot be executed”. The court may further at any time after proclamation “ order the attachment of any property, moveable or immovable, or both, belonging to the proclaimed person”. The period of thirty days mentioned in Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, is that within which the absconder is called upon to surrender, it imposes no delay on the issue of attachment order. The issue of a proclamation under Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, renders liable to the penalties of Section 216, Indian Penal Code, any one who gives to the person proclaimed any assistance of the nature described in Section 52-A, Indian penal Code. (2) The action prescribed in rule 26.5 for obtaining a warrant of arrest shall be taken by the police immediately they have grounds for making such arrest. Every reasonable efforts to execute such warrant shall then be taken. If such efforts fails, the court which issued the warrant must be satisfied that the warrant cannot be executed; evidence of the guilt of the wanted man in the offence under investigation is not required. When a proclamation order has been obtained, the police are bound to publish that order as required by Section 87(2), Code of Criminal Procedure. Immediately this has been done that requirements of Section 87(3), Code of Criminal Procedure, shall be complied with. Thereupon, the person wanted becomes a “ proclaimed offender” and the rules in Chapter XXIII regarding the entry of such person’s name in the surveillance , list of proclaimed offenders, notices to village heen and watchmen of all places where he has connections or which he is likely to visit etceteras shall be forthwith complied with. (3) The procedure of search under warrant and proclamation shall be carried out in every case in which a wanted person cannot be immediately arrested without warrant by the investigating officer. Discretion may be exercised by both the police and Magistrates whether to proceed with attachment of property under Section 88, Code of Civil Procedure, in every case, where there is danger of more crime resulting from and absconder remaining at large and attachment order shall be immediately applied for. The police are not authorized to carry out attachment, but it is the duty of the prosecuting branch to see that the necessary orders issued from the court without any delay, and of the officer conducting the investigation to take steps to prevent the improper alienation of attachable property by fictitious mortgage or sale. For this purpose lists of such property should be made, as part of the investigation, and attached to the police file of the case, and the village hean concerned should be directed to report any attempt at alienation or removal pending the issue of attachment orders. The lists of property prepared by the investigation officer, attested by competent witnesses, should be put into court with the application for an attachment order. (4) To prevent harbouring, without which no absconder can remain at large, thorough publicity in regard to the issue of a warrant and subsequent proclamation order is essential. It this receives proper attention, the defence of ignorance is denied to the persons who can be proved to have rendered any sort of assistance to an absconder. 21-6. Reports and records.--In order that continuity in the method of istration outlined in rule 21.1 may not be lost owing to changes of personnel, the proper maintenance of those reports, records and notes which review the history of the criminal istration of a district, or from which information regarding individuals and past events may be obtained, in essential. Apart from personal records of police officers, police station records and inspection notes, referred to in other chapters o these rules, such records comprise:--(i)

Within the limits of the police station of the police station jurisdiction the sub-inspector is primarily responsible for the effective working, management, good conduct and discipline of the local police, for the preservation of peace and the prevention and detection of crime. The due performance of all police duties, the exercise by the police of the powers granted them by law, the correctness of all s, records and reports prepared by them, and the direction, instruction and efficiency of all police subordinates in the station jurisdiction are matters for which the officer in charge of a police station is essentially answerable. (2) It is the duty of the officer in charge of a police station to acquire detailed and accurate local knowledge, to secure the whole-hearted cooperation of his zaildars, inamdars, village heen and chaukidars, encouraging them to give him information, to assis him in this work and to rane themselves loyally on the side of the istration. Through them and his own subordinates he is required to keep a strict watch over all known bad characters, and he shall communicate all intelligence of moment to his superiors and to other police stations without delay. (3) Within the limits of his charge he is the chief investigating officer, and as such he shall conduct all investigations in persons, so far as circumstances permit. His responsibility in this matter must be carefully maintained. Should it be necessary, owing to the absence of the sub-inspector or any other cause, for a subordinate to undertake an investigation, the sub-inspector shall satisfy himself by perusing the case diary and questioning the investigating officer that the investigation has been fully and properly conducted, shall remedy what is defective, and take over the investigation as soon as he is free to do so, except in a case originally investigated by an assistant sub-inspector where he will be guided by rule. (4) When present at the police station, he shall personally supervise the outing work of the station house, and shall be careful to see that there are no arrears of correspondence and that the are correct. 22-2.

(2) An assistant sub-inspector is required to have approximately the same standard of efficiency in all branches of police station work, detective, preventive and istrative, as a sub-inspector, but his responsibilities are less, in that be is not in independent charge, and his power are subject to the detailed control and supervision of the sub-inspector. In respect of investigations, the sub-inspector is required to exercise careful supervision over the work of his assistant sub-inspector, as laid down in rule 22-1, but need not, and should not, normally take in to his own hands an investigation started by an assistant sub-inspector, except when he finds the letter’s investigation gravely defective. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Summoning of persons to Police Station - The underlying object of Rules 22.49 and 25.2 of the Punjab Police Rule is that no citizen should unnecessarily be arrested or dragged to the Police Station and under the pretext of interrogation be improperly or illegally detained. There is no reason why the imperative provisions of these rules pertaining to the issue process and making of entry if that process should not have been complied with. If these rules are duly observed imperative as they are in their nature the device of deliberately omitting to observe compliance with these rules which police officers conducting investigation adopt and in this way illegally detain innocent persons under the excuse of interrogation, would cease to be workable and the case of illegal detention for investigation purpose are found to be minimised, if note eliminated. These are wholesome rules. Their compliance enable the person sought to be summoned to know the purpose for which is being summoned.

Police No 10 who is reasonably believed to be habitually addict_( Check Not Printed page No.984._ or to be an aider or abettor of such persons; or abettor of such person; We are of the view that condition precedent for an order under police rule 23.9 (2) is not satisfied. We are not the view that the case mentioned in Annexure R1 are not such on the basis of which an opinion could be formed that the petitioner is habitually addicted to crime . the cases mentioned are also not of the category which may endanger public peace or security . Ved Prakash Gulati Vs. Commissioner of Police 1984 (1) S.L.R. 298. 2.
Surveillance No.10. The maintaining of Surveillance No. 10
under Police Rule 23.4 is, in no way , unconstitutional or illegal provided the police officer does not interfere with the personal liberty or movements of the individuals whose names are entered in the . Naurata ram vs. The State, AIR 1966 Punjab 268=1967 P.L.R. 528. The Surveillance is a confidential documents and an entry made in it does not affect the personal liberty of the individual in any way. Therefore, it is not necessary that any notice should be given to the person concerned before his name is entered in this . AIR 1959 Punjab 323=ILR (1959) Punjab1369 23.5. Entries in and cancellations from surveillance --(1) The surveillance shall be written up by the officer in charge of the police station personally or by an assistant sub-inspector in a clear and neat script. No entry shall be made in Part II except by the orders of the Superintendent, who is strictly prohibited from delegating this authority. No entry shall be made in Part I except by the order of a gazetted officer. Entries shall be made either under the personal direction of , or on receipt of a written order from, an officer authorized by this rule to make them,. In the later case, original orders shall be attached to the until the entry has been attested and dated by a gazetted officer.

of the responsibility of hean, both for ascertaining the whereabouts and assisting in the capture of proclaimed offender and for reporting the movements of persons restricted or under surveillance mainly depends. 23.7
Mode of surveillance--(1) Police surveillance shall comprise such close watch men and village watchmen, as may be practicable without any illegal interference.
(2) Care shall be taken not to have under surveillance in any police station more person than the police staff can reasonably be expected to watch efficiently. 23.8
Preparation of history sheet.- The initial preparation of a history sheet requires great care, and should invariably be done by the officer in charge of the police station himself or by a thoroughly experienced assistant sub-inspector under specific orders.
(1)
The description of the criminal should be such as will enable the person reading it to form for himself a picture of the individual described, special attention being given to peculiarities of appearance, gait, speech, etc., by mean of which the man may be distinguished.
(2)
The space for “relations and connections” should be filled in with a view to affording clues to those persons with whom the criminal is likely to harbor when wanted by the police, including relations or friends living at distance from his home, and his associates in crime, abettors and receivers,. The particular nature of each person’s connection should be noted against each, and when persons shown as connections themselves have history sheets, a cross reference with those sheets should be given.
(3)
Under property, and mode of earning livelihood, such particulars should be entered as will facilitate a judgment as to whether the criminal is at any time living beyond his means; whether he is capable of furnishing a personal recognizance of any value; whether he is an owner of property tenant or a water-earner, and so on.
(4)
The “ ?description of crime to which addicted” should be in come detail showing not merely the class of crime, but the particular type of that crime, methods followed, localities chiefly frequented, weapons or instruments used, etc. When these particulars have been carefully and concisely entered, the initial entry on the reverse side of the form should be made in the form of summary of the individual’s criminal career up to the date of his history sheet being prepared, and should include the particular reasons and authority for its being prepared. Copies of history sheets prepared and published by the Criminal Investigation Department and published in the Criminal Intelligence Gazette shall be filed with the history sheet of the persons concerned in their home police station . the police station history sheets in all such cases will be endorsed with the letter C.I.D and the criminal’s provincial numbers in red ink. The activities of all such criminals subsequent to the publication of their provincial history sheets must be communicated promptly to the Criminal Investigation Department through the District Central Investigating Agency. Duplicate of the sheets of criminal known or suspected to operate on the railway shall be supplied to the nearest railway police station and the originals of such sheets shall be endorsed with the letter ‘R’ in red ink. The District Police shall also supply the Railway Police Station with copies of all subsequent entries made in such History Sheets, so that the Railway Police copies may be kept strictly up to date.
23.9.
History sheets when opened.--(1) A history sheet, if one does not already exist, shall be opened in Form 23.9 for every person whose name is entered in the surveillance , except conditionally released convicts. (2) A history sheet may be opened by, or under the written orders of a police officer not below the rank of inspector for any person not reentered in the surveillance who is reasonably believed to be habitually addicted to crime or to be an aider or abettor of such persons.
(3) The Government Railway Police will maintain the history sheets of criminals known or suspected to operate on the railway in accordance with Police Rule 23.8. they will open history sheets themselves for criminals living in railway premises, who have been absent form their original homes so long that the railway premises may be regarded as their permanent residence. They may also open history sheets for wandering strangers reasonably believed to be habitually addicted to crime on the railway whose original homes cannot be traced. 23.10. Custody of history sheet--(1) The history sheets at each police station shall be kept in three separate bundles as follows:--(a)
Bundle containing the history sheets of persons whose names are entered in the surveillance .
(b)
Bundle containing the history sheets of persons whose names are not entered in the surveillance and which have bot been removed to personal files under rule 23.12. in this bundle should be recorded the history sheets of persons who (1) have been removed from surveillance on probation owing to there being no recent complaints against them, but who cannot be said definitely to be no longer addicted to crime, (2) have been the subject of action under rule 23.30 but have not been placed on security for good behaviour or under surveillance.
(c)
Bundle containing the history sheets of bad characters undergoing sentences of imprisonment sufficiently long to justify the removal of their names from the surveillance until their release. These history sheets shall be put up by the officer in charge of the police station before a gazetted officer for orders six months before the nominal date of the release of the bad character concerned.
(2) In each bundle, the history sheets of each village shall be kept in a separate vocer on the inside of which a list of the history sheets pertaining to the village with their index serial numbers shall be maintained. The prescribed covers for history sheets are obtainable form the Superintendent, Government printing Punjab. SYNOPSIS 1.
Inclusion of names in list “E” COMMENTS
1. Inclusion of names in list “E” The representations were submitted in December 1989 or soon thereafter, no whatsoever has been issued to Sh perm chand for the with drawl of benefit already conferred on him. It is not understood as to on what basis the learned counsel states that the benefit given to Sh. Perm Chand is likely to be withdrawn fact, not even a prima facie case for the withdrawal of benefit iron to Sh.Pre,Chand has been made out. Sh Jaddish Rai, who was ittedly junior to Sh. Prem Chand having been given certain benefits, it is not understood as to how the benefit of seniority etc. given to Sh. Prem Chand cab be withdrawn by the department. Nothing has been pointed out to show as to how the Department was justified in sending Shri Jgdish Rai for the Intermediate School Course prior to the petitioners. Mr Jaswant Singh made a faint attempt to suggest that the action was permissible under rule 19.22. under this rule, the principle of the Police Training College, Madhuban may be competent to depute Drill Instructors etc. for the course. However such out of turn deputation for the course cannot confer any benefit of inclusion in the promotion list or actual promotion out of turn. Furthermore, it has not even been shown that Sh. Jagdish Rai was posted as a Drill Instructor at the Police Training College, Madhban at the relevant time.

23-44. Conditions of colony tenancies.- Superintendents and other gazetted officers serving in colony areas should axquaint themselves with the conditions regulating the tenure of land in such areas. Under these conditions Government usually demands active loyalty from all occupiers of land, and reserves powers of forfeiture of tenancies or restriction of rights as a punishment to individuals or communities, which fail to render assistance in the suppression of crime. Details instructions on this subject are contained in notifications published from time to time in the Punjab Government Gazette, or in orders issued by the Financial Commissioners which are available in the offices of Deputy Commissioners. APPENDIX NO 23-39(1) No. 7336 CH-Jails) dated Lahore, the 6th March, 1931 From - The Home Secretary to Government, Punjab. To- All Commissioners of Divisions and Deputy Commissioners in Punjab. Police surveillance over released convicts in regard to whom an order has been made under section 565 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. I am directed to forward the accompanying rules framed by the Governor in Council under the provisions of sub-section 3 of section 565 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. 2. The following instructions are issued with a view to explain the procedure more fully: (1) In every case in which a criminal court makes an order under section 565 of the Code, directing that the person sentenced to imprisonment shall notify his residence and any change of residence after release, a copy of such order will be transmitted by the court ing the sentence and order, with the warrant of commitment issued under section 384 of the Code to the officer-in-charge of the jail or other place in which the prisoner is, or is to be, confined. The Honourable judges of the High Court have been asked to issue instructions regarding this. (2) Not less than fourteen days before any prisoner, in regard to whom an order under section 565 of the Code has been made, is to be released, the officer-in-charge of the jail or other place in which such prisoner is then confined shall explain to the prisoner the nature of the order and the requirements of the rules, and shall call upon him to state the place at which he intends, after his release, to reside. The officer-in-charge of the jail or other place of confinement will thereupon inform the Superintendent of Police of the district in which such jail or other place of confinement is situated of the name and other particulars necessary for the identification of the prisoner and also of the place at which such prisoner intends, after his release, to reside. (3) The District Superintendent of Police will cause intimation to be given,-- (a) if the place at which the prisoner intends to reside is situate within his district,- to the officer-in-charge of the police station within the local limits of which such place is situate; and (b) if such place is situated in any other district,- to the Superintendent of Police of that district, who will take action as in clause (a). (4) The rules provide that every released prisoner to whom they relate shall give not less than one day’s notice of any intended change of residence to the officer-in-charge of the police station within the local limits of which the place, at which he is then residing, is situated. Within twentyfour hours of his arrival at his destination the prisoner is further required to notify the fact of his arrival to the officer-Incharge of the police station within the local limits of which the new place of residence is situated. (5) The intimations required to be given by rules II, III and IV are ordinarily to be made personally by the released convict, at the proper police station. If any suchconvict is for any sufficient reason at any time unable to do this, or if the District Magistrate exempt a prisoner from personal attendance for this purpose, the intimation may be made in writing or in such other manner as the District Magistrate may prescribe in this behalf. (6)
Breaches of the rules are punishable under section 176 of the Indian Penal Code.
(7)
The Inspector-General of Police will issue detailed instructions for given effect to the rules in the Police Department.

Note:- These rules will also be applicable to special orders of police surveillance issued by the local Government in the cases of prisoners conditionally released before the expiry of the term of their sentence. Subsidiary Rules issued in the Police Department. 1. In the case of wandering individuals with no fixed “abode”, an absence of one night or more will be considered to constitute a change of residence, except when the absence is due to a summons issued by a Civil, Criminal or Revenue Court, or to an order issued by a competent Civil authority. All other cases must be decided on their merits and no hard and fast rule can be laid down. It will be necessary to show that the change of residence is of a permanent or quasi-permanent nature. Mere absence from home for day or two does not constitute a change of residence. 2. In case in which at the time of notifying “change of residence”, the released convict reports his intention to return to the existing residence already notified under rule II, III or IV within a period of one month such change shall be called “temporary change of residence”. 3. When the Superintendent of Police receives an intimation from the officer-in-charge of the jail of an intended place of residence notified to the latter under Rule II, he shall at once forward a copy thereof to the officer-incharge of the police station within the jurisdiction of which such place is situated. This officer will, immediately upon the arrival of the released convict, report the date thereof to the Superintendent of Police. 4. When a released convict notifies a change of residence or a temporary change or residence to the officer-in-charge of the police station, the particulars required by Rule VII shall be entered in Form 23-39(2). The officer-in-charge of the police station will deliver a copy thereof to the released convict and will forward the original to the officer-in-charge of the police station within the jurisdiction of which the released convict has intimated has intention to reside. The latter officer, on arrival of the released convict, will fill up column 6, and, in the case of the residence being of a permanent character, will at once return the form to the police station from which he received it. In case the residence is to be of a temporary character, he will retain the form until the convict reports his departure, when column 7 will be filled up and the form returned to the police station of issue. 5. On arrival at the police station within the jurisdiction of which his new residence is situated, the released convict will produce his copy of the form and get the date of his arrival entered in column 6. In the case of a permanent change of residence his copy will be returned to him at once. In the case of temporary change of residence, it will be kept until the date of departure is verbally reported. Column 7 will then be filled up, and the copy will be returned to the released convict to make over to the officer from whom he originally received it. 6.
The names of such released convicts will be entered in the surveillance (Police Station No. X). APPENDIX No. 23-42 NOTE ON THE CONTROL OF PATHAN IMMIGRANTS TO THE PUNJAB.
I. The temporary sojourn in the Punjab of large number of nomad or semi-nomad Pathans results annually in crime, the importance of which is disproportionate to its actual amount. Such crime, if it remains unpunished, is bound to have a demoralizing effect on the criminal istration of the districts concerned. II. The extent of the Pathan Immigration. -- The first step towards controlling the criminal propensities of pathan immigrants is to appreciate the extent and main components of the annual influx. Exact figures are not available, but, from what is known of the numbers of Afghan subjects entering British India by various es, it is safe to take 100,000 as a conservative estimate of the extent of this immigration alone. The whole of this number does not come east of the Indus. The majority of families remain for the winter in the districts of the North-West Frontier Province and a proportion of the able bodied males also find employment in that province. On the other hand a large number of Pathans, not included in the estimate given, enter or through the Punjab every year from the independent tribal territory and the settled districts of the North-West Frontier Province. The number in this latter category probably fully equals that proportion of Afghan nomads which remain west of the Indus; so 100,000 is a reasonable figure at which to place the total of those with whom the Punjab is concerned. It has been suggested, from time to time, that all these immigrants should be by some means or another on entering British India. Such a measure could be put into force at the cost of considerable special expenditure and special organisation on the part of Government, and of wholesale interference with the normal movements of the seasonal migration. A study of the subject shows that registration would not lead to the desired results and is not necessary. III.
The composition of the immigration. -- The main division of Pathans who habitually visit India may be briefly described as follows:--A Afghan subjects and residents of independent Tribal Territory.
1. Northern Ghilzais, Ningraharis, & c., who enter India via Khyber and Kurram Valley. These are mainly camel drivers or labourers, and the vast majority of them give no trouble. Occasionally a gang of bad characters from this class is formed, and, the crimes committed by such a gang are often of a particularly violent nature. 2. The Southern Ghilzais or “Powindahs”, who enter India mainly by the Tochi and Gumal Valleys. These tribes usually leave their families in the Derajat, while the men disperse over the length and breadth of India, trading in cloth or other goods and, with their camels, acting as carriers on a large scale. From the point of view of general public security in the Punjab, this vry large class may be classified as non-criminal. They dabble in the arms and forged note traffic and are said occasionally to be addicted to misappropriation of goods entrusted to them as hired carriers. On rare occasions parties which have made their permanent winter encampments in the Mainwali district instead of in the Derajat, may be concerned in a dacoity. The control of such parties, however, is a purely local problems, which the lines stereotyped by long usage in the neighbouring trans-indus districts. 3. Tribal contingents from Khost and other parts of the Afghan Province of “Simat-i-Janubi”. On the basis of information at present available this division of immigrations appear to be one of the main causes of concerned from the point of view of crime. It includes various tribes, but the jadrans (or Zadrans) come in the greatest numbers to the Punjab. These tribes have in the post given but nebulous allegiance to Kabul and have been a perpetual source of trouble both to their own Government against which they were in open rebellion in 1924 - and to the Frontier Province istration. They are, for the most part exceedingly poor and, compared with most Pathans, degenerate, but hardy. Those who come to the Punjab in the winter scatter all over the Province, but chiefly in the North-Western Districts, in small parties, often with their families, and include a high proportion of criminals. The nature of their activities and proposals for their control will be discussed later. 4.
Immigrants from among the Baluchistan Tribes. -- There is record of occasional crime by this class, and their habits and composition require study.
5. Immigrants from North-West Frontier Province Tribal Territory. -- This class is distinct from the various categories of Afghan subjects, in that their influx into India is in no sense tribal. Adult males from almost all the trans-border tribes come to or through the Punjab in numbers which vary according to the characteristics of the various tribes and to locally prevailing conditions, but they all come in their individual capacity in search of a temporary livelihood. In the Punjab this class usually finds its way to the scene of work on big contracts. The class includes many habitual criminals, whose control demands special measures. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
B. British subjects from the Districts of the North-West Frontier Province. This second main division should, for purposes of applying suitable control be subdivided into various categories, but it will suffice here to consider it as one, especially as the greater number of immigrants belonging to it come from the Northern districts of Hazara and peshawar. The main feature of this class is that it includes a large number or habitual offenders of two kinds; (a) men who desire to escape the attention of the Police at their homes, (b) men who, to ensure immunity in a deliberately criminal career in the Punjab and other Provinces, are scrupulously careful of their reputation at their homes. There is one more category of Pathans which must not be oerlooked in considering this subject. In many of the large towns of the Punjab there is a considerable number of Pathans permanently settled. Their status varies from that of substantial contractors to tea-shopkeepers or tonga drivers. Their importance lies in their position as “contracts” between wandering Pathans and local people or local knowledge. IV. The nature of crime attributed to Pathans. -- The classes of crime committed by Pathans may be summarized as follows:--(1) Raids by gangs formed in independent territory and descending to commit a specific offence, retiring thereafter back to independent territory. On the grounds of the history of such cases it is an absolutely fair statement to say that, if there are no Punjabi outlaws in tribal territory, there will be no raids of this nature. Between 1915 and 1923, Mahsud gangs harried in the Isa Khel tahsil, led by Kulu, and Isa Khel outlaw. The attock district has suffered when its own outlays have been living with Kohat Afridis and have led gangs from there attock and rawalpindi surrefed in the years before the War. When Sultan, a Rawalpindi outlaw, was in the black mountain and when Fazlo and his gang were with the Gaduns. The recent Hassanabdal raid is a partial exception, but the local “razdari” without which no raid is ever committed was provided in that case by the employment of a Pathan (in fact an Afghan Shinwari) a chowkidar - a form of imbecility which might will be prohibited. The prevention of raids in the Frontier Province is mainly a matter of sustained activity against outlaws. In the less complicated conditions in this respect in the Punjab, similar action should provide an absolute preventive. (2) Dacoities by gangs of Pathans residing temporarily in the punjab. This is one of the two classes of crime by Pathans, which most requires special measures of prevention. The first stage in evolving such measures is to ascertain the circumstances in which and by whom this class of crime is committed and so to concentrate preventive action where it can be effective. (3) House breaking, animal theft and cognate offences committed by Pathans, Crime of this type is usually due to large concentration of Pathan labour or to the formation of a particular gang of expert criminals. (4) Specialized crime carried on by Pathans alone or by Pathans and Punjabis in combination. This now exists to a serious and dangerous extent, especially in respect of the smuggling of excisable commodities and the traffic in arms, and undoubtedly requires special measures of prevention. V. Organisation. -- The foregoing summary shows that the types of crime committed by Pathans and the criminal element among the immigrants are readily defined. Control can be obtained through concentration within these limits rather than by sweeping restrictions. The primary needs is to make generally available to the police in districts as much information as possible in regard to this class of crime and to coordinate their methods of dealing with it. The organisation to this end should be suited to the requirements of all India and all that is needed is the development of existing machinery. Bombay and Calcutta already have “Pathan Section” in the Crime Branch of their Criminal Investigation Departments. The Punjab has the embryo of a similar section. The North-Western Frontier Province have a section which devotes intensive attention to the arms trade. It has been mentioned that there is a class of criminals, having their homes in the North-West Frontier Province Districts, who have clean records at their homes, but make a profession of crime in other Provinces. The record was published a few years ago of one such individual against whom nothing was known at his home, though, when finally arrested in the Central Provinces, some thirty serious crimes with violence were traced against him; special attention is needed to ensure that, by the proper use of History Sheets, Bad Character Rolls and Intimation Sheets, such cases are brought under strict surveillance at their homes, and are treated precisely as if they were locally troublesome. The not unnatural tendency, in the absence of special supervision if for the local police to turn the blind eye to such cases. So far as residents of the istered districts of the Frontier Province are concerned effective control of wandering criminals is quite practicable, provided the normal police machinery for the interchange of information is efficiently worked and followed by action in the “home” Police Station under the security sections of the Criminal Procedure Code, and for restriction of movement under the Habitual Offenders Act (which is in force in the NorthWest Frontier Province) or under section 36 of the Frontier Crimes Regulation. The control of these British subjects covers quite half the danger field. Where Afghan subjects and independent tribesmen are concerned direct control is not easy, and wholesale scrutiny is almost impracticable in view of the fact that the migration the autumn and spring is compressed into a few weeks, during which, literally, a torrent of humanity flows through the es. Friendly can be made with the Maliks and leading men of the vast majority of well behaved immigrants, and, through them, much valuable information and assistance in controlling lawless elements can be obtained. The Pathan is peculiarly amenable to friendly cooperation of this nature, and nothing is likely to be so effective in isolating the criminals from the well behaved and bringing them under effective control, as the provision of a sufficiency of officers in the Punjab, who understand enough about Pathans to gain some measure of the confidence of the well conducted, and to inspire some wholesome dread in the ill-disposed. It appears essential that the Punjab Criminal Investigation Department should have a Pathan section consisting of at least 1 inspector, 1 subinspector and 4 or 5 head constables, obtained on deputation from the Frontier Province with perhaps an element from Baluchistan. Although the Pathan immigration is a matter of the winter months only, it will be shown that the staff suggested could be most usefully and fully employed throughout the year. This section of the Punjab Criminal Investigation Department and similar sections in other provinces which suffer from Pathan criminality should work in the completest co-operation with the Peshawar Criminal Investigation Department, by exchanging information, by seeing that information is both made available to and used by districts, and in devising and operating methods to meet different varieties of crime. I is noticeable at present, both that ridiculously little information is generally available on the subject of Pathan crime, and that what little has been made available is not acted upon. The Criminal intelligence Gazette should be much available is not acted upon. The Criminal Intelligence Gazette should be much more freely used both or the publication of particulars of individual suspects, for general information regarding he habits and modus operandi of different gangs or classes of Pathans and for instruction in regard to methods of prevention and detection. The Pathan experts in the Criminal Investigation Department should also be used, especially during the winter, in touring where Pathans are settled either in villages or on big contracts, with the object of bringing the local police into touch with the settlers, marking down and initiating action in respect of bad characters among them, and assisting in the investigation of cases in which Pathans are suspected to have been concerned. To supplement this small body of experts it is suggested that selected sub-inspectors of the Punjab Police might be sent in batches of 4 or 5 every year for a period of 3 months attachments to the north-West Frontier Province. In this period they should cover as many of the Frontier Districts as possible with the object of acquiring an elementary acquaintance with th many different types of Pathans, and with their country and language, Such selections would naturally be made chiefly from the North-Western Districts of the Province, as these are most closely concerned. It would be advantageous that these Punjab officers should be attached definitely to an experienced inspector in each Frontier District which they visit, so that one individual may be responsible for giving them the most comprehensive instruction and hints. In some instances in the past, district such as Sargodha have obtained the loan for one or more Pathan Non-commissioned Officers direct from one of the Frontier Province District; this is a useful supplement to other measure suggested. The object of the deputation to Frontier Districts is to meet to some extent the present practical difficulty in Pathan cases. There is often no single police official in a district who knows enough about Pathans to make even the simplest enquiries from them or to distinguish between a powindah and Peshawari. With the machinery improved on the lines suggested it would become possible systematically to tackle the various classes of crime and professional criminals which have been described. VI. Preventive measure. -- Dacoities other than raids, are committed by two main classes of Pathans, the poverty-stricken laborers from Khost, who have been already described, and bad characters mainly from the Peshawar or Hazara District. All such cases should be regarded as requiring Criminal Investigation Department assistance in their investigation, in order that all the resources of “Intelligence” on the subject may be brought to bear and that gang ramifications may be thoroughly sifted with a view not only to convictions in isolated cases, but comprehensive preventive action. Investigations now proceeding the Western Range afford instances both of the benefit of coordinated and the defects of isolated action. From the pooling investigations in several districts it is now clear--and there are good ground for hope that the case can be proved -- that for years past dacoities of a particular type have been committed, to the number of a about a dozen annually, by the “bash” element of one or two small sections of the Jadran tribe from Khost. The culprits probably amount to not more than 60 or 70 in all, from which total, gangs 5 to 20 in number have been habitually formed for committing specific http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
dacoities at places previously spied out by individual of the fraternity. More than 40 arrests have been made of persons suspected to belong to this criminal group, but, before cooperation could be fully set going, several of these suspects had been released by individual districts, because in their own particular cases, evidence for prosecution was lacking. The investigation is now being controlled by the Criminal Investigation Department, and special assistance has been obtained from Peshawar. It is premature to recommended any particular action, but apart from the possibilities of individual or gang, prosecutions, it seems probably that it will be possible to put forward a strong case for excluding the particular Afghan-tribes concerned from India for a term of years, or for ing it as a “Criminal Tribes” in the Punjab. This investigation affords a clear indication of the process by which special staff of exports should be able, by investigations into the habits of all classes of Pathan immigrants, to eliminate the well behaved and concentrate on the genuine criminals. The action to be taken where dacoities are being committed by Pathans of British territory is, as has already been indicated, merely the thorough application of normal police procedure. The use of the provisions of section 109, Criminal Procedure Code and of the Foreigners Act have repeatedly been advocated for controlling suspected Pathans. The former is not a very valuable weapon when almost every Pathan found in the Pujab is able and willing to earn his living by honest labour and can always produce evidence to that effect. The use of the Foreigners Act is confined to Afghan subjects and independent tribesmen and their deportation to the Frontier is of no avail if they return immediately to another part of the Punjab, where the chances of their suffering the penalty of violation of the expulsion order are negligible. There the Foreigners porting from the Punjab, merely on suspicion, a resident of one of the istered districts of the Frontier Province, but, whenever a a conviction, even under section 109, Criminal Procedure Code, or in a trivial offence, has been obtained against such an individual, it is possible to get him back to his home by classfying him for transfer to his home jail for release (i.e. P.R.T.). The Regulations might will be amended, if necessary, to permit of this being done. Police co-operation would ensure that a habitual criminal so transferred would be restricted on release from jail. The next category requiring attention is the gang labour under contractors. This branch of the subject requires detailed study by the expert staff. It appears that these labour gangs are on the whole well behaved--though if memory serves, Pathan labour gave considerable trouble when the Upper Jhelum Canal was being dug. Lately they have come chiefly to notice in connection with fairly petty thefts of cattle, contractor’s donkeys and so on. There is no doubt, however, that dangerous criminals are likely to be found among such gatherings--both men who will commit skilled or violence crime and men who desire to disappear from a serious hue and cry elsewhere. Labour contractors--often themselves Pathans--or ‘Jemadars’ should be made to assist the police in shifting the antecedents of their men, reporting suspicious absences, etc. Police activity of this sort requires to be conducted with considerations for the requirements of the Public Works Department or other authority responsible for the work; it would be as well for general instructions, which would meet police requirements in the matter, to be worked out in consultation with the Public Works Department. Specialised crime, in which Pathans are prominently concerned, consists mainly of traffic in arms and in Afghan opium and similar excisable commodities. Each such branch of crime obviously requires special attention, for bestowing which the suggested Pathan section of the Criminal Investigation Department is the most suitable agency. It is impossible to discuss the details of this class of crime within the scope of this note, but two special features of it may be noted. It exists because there is on the Frontier a source of supply to meet a Punjab demand, and there is a close association which does not exist in other classes of ‘Pathan crime’ between Punjabis and Pathans to the extent that Punjabi frequently visit the Frontier Province to make their illicit purchases. It is clear, therefore, that while the co-operation of the Frontier Province istration in controlling such entrepots of illicit trade as the village of Jam in the Khyber Agency is called for, it is equally necessary in the Punjab to attack the local traders in and purchasers of the goods obtainable from these sources. A further point worth recording is that the extension of this class of smuggling is a natural consequences of the permanent location of Punjabi troops in a large number of outposts and Cantonments beyond the istrative Frontier. Before 1915 al these areas were garrisoned solely by local irregular corps. Troops all in Cantonments in British territory where any illicit traffic between Punjabi soldiers and local residents was bound to come to the notice of the district police before it developed to any serious extent. Now-a-days there is absolutely no effective check on the doings of the thousands of Punjabis cantoned in Waziristan and the Khyber. They are in continuos contract with local residents, who have access to camps and cantonments on a hundred legitimate excuses; it is little more difficult for the sepoy to buy a revolver or a seer of opium than it is for him to buy a seer of milk. The police are helpless; they cannot except on the strongest of grounds and with the permission of the military authorities, search sepoys going on leave through Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, or Peshawar. An important aid to the control of Pathan criminals generally is that the police (both the special staff and the district police) should acquire as full a knowledge as possible of Pathan who carry on permanent occupations in the Punjab and should cultivate such relations, as will ensure access to all information of importance, with such local residents as have special contract with Pathans. In Many Punjab towns there are a considerable number of Pathans settled both in respectable commercial positions and as tonga drivers, tea-shopkeepers and so on; there are also numerous traders, both Hindu and Muhammadans who have a regular Pathan clientele. It is to the houses or shops of more respectable of such persons that Pathan; seeking work or ing through a town habitually resort for help, for news of their friends and for lodging. Respectable people of this sort, and keepers of tea-shops or lodging houses are frequently used as accommodation addresses for correspondence between Pathans including those who are criminally associated. While friendly relations with the better class resident Pathan, and other ‘contracts’ such as those mentioned, would open up many sources of valuable informations, the less respectable resident Pathan community requires more direct supervision, both as regard personal character and associates and visitor. Some of these resident Pathan doubtless commit crime themselves, but it is mainly in connection with the disposal of property stolen by ‘immigrants’ and harbouring the latter before and after the commission of offences, that they are important. Though the foregoing review shows that the criminal activities of Pathans in the Punjab are not amenable to control by such a method, it is worthwhile to consider briefly the available experience of wholesale-registrations. Afghan port Regulations have been in existence for some years, including a special from of port for nomads and drivers of wheeled or animal transport only. Therefore, every emigrant from Afghanistan who comes within these categories is bound to provide others particulars and a record of the dependents accompanying him. The fee is Rs.2 and the port includes the usual request to the officials of friendly Governments to afford the bearer assistance and protection. A considerable proportion of Afghan subjects entering India now-a-days possess these ports. Such persons, when asked, never mention the sum of Rs.2 as the fee; it is always from Rs.3 to Rs.5. The ports are signed by petty ‘Moharrirs’ they are but little grantee of identity and none whatever of character. The revenue which they bring in may be of some value to the Afghan Government and to its servants. This aspect of the matter is the only incetive to force them upon as many travelers as possible, but whole classes, which do not the headquarters of a Hakim on their way to India, never receive a port. On the other hand evidence is already appearing of a tendency on the part of subordinate police, village heen and even Magistrates to regard these Afghan ports as guarantees at least of bona fides if not of good character. When the criminal elements among the immigrants wakes up to this state of affairs, they will take good care to provide themselves with insurance policies against molestation, even though the issuing moharrir may raise the immoderately. Instructions might well be issued that these Afghan ports are of no value whatever as a guide to the character of the holder and confer absolutely no immunity. In point of fact the issue of a port in itself of no value without the visa of the country to be traversed. No British Indian visa is granted on the Afghan “ Nomads port and its is understood that the Government of India have definitely decided to exclude nomads entirely from any system of port control which may be enforced on the Indian side of the Afghan border.

CHAPTER XXIV.--INFORMATION TO THE POLICE 24.1. First Information how recorded.--(1) Section 154 and 155, Code of Criminal Procedure, provide that every information relating to an offence, whether cognizable or non-cognizable, shall be recorded in writing by the officer incharge of a police station. The distinction between the form of reports required by the above-mentioned two section has been defined as follows by the Punjab Chief Court (now High Court),--Every information covered by section 154, Criminal Procedure Code, must be reduced to writing as provided in that section and the substance thereof must be entered in the Police station daily diary, which is the book provided for the purpose. It is only information which raises a reasonable suspicion of the commission of a cognizable offence within the jurisdiction of the police officer to whom it is given, which compels action under Section 157, Criminal Procedure Code.

Murder.
(b)
Dacoities.
(c)
Other offences.
(2) A Special file may be opened if necessary for any particular case. 24.19. The duties of the Police as Excise Officers.—(1) Co-operation between the excise and police force is necessary for the detection and investigation of excise offence. The Inspector General of Police and the Financial Commissioner lay stress upon this co-operation as one of the principal secrets of successful working. Any case of jealous or obstructive working will be severely dalt with. (2) When an officer in charge of a police station becomes aware of an excise offence, he shall at once it as a police case and inform the District Excise Officer, who with respect to such cases shall be regarded as the magistrate in charge of the police station. The excise sub-Inspector concerned shall also be informed and his co-operation invited, but no delay shall be allowed to occur merely in order to obtain his presence. (3) All excise inspectors and sub-Inspectors are required to maintain First Information Report for the registration of complaints and reports of excise offences. In all cognizable cases a copy of the First Information Report shall be sent to the police station in whose jurisdiction the offence ois reported. In return the excise inspector or sub-inspector will be given a copy of the Police First Information Report as a report. (4) An excise inspector or sub-inspector shall not ordinarily attempt a search or make an arrest by himself. He shall always obtain the assistance of the police sub-inspector. If however, delay is likely to defeat the ends of justice, the excise inspector or sub-inspector shall make the arrest or search himself, and at the same time send to the police sub-inspector for assistance. (5) The prevention of illicit distillation of spirit is one of the most important of the duties of the police. This will not be effected by isolated seizures. It involves careful and sustained enquiry and a complete knowledge of his jurisdiction by the officer in charge of the police station. As a rule the manufacture of illicit spirit is confined to certain castes which are habitual consumers of spirit. The most probable localities of illicit traffice should thus be easily ascertainable by the officer in charge of the police station. It is impossible for an illicit still to be regularly worked in a village without the knowledge of the chaukidars and tambardars. The trade betrays itself by the resulting smell, the accumulation of refuse, and the occurrence of drunkenness, where no means of licit supply exist. If these things happen and the village officials make no report, it is obvious that they are conniving at the offence. In such cases the officer in charge of the police station must at once take steps, to have these rural officials punished. Where it is notorious that illicit stills are worked, http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

the officer in charge of the police station neglects his duty if he does not arrange to put in operation the provision for search, seizure, and prosecution contained in the Excise Act. (6) If it is found that illicit manufacture of country spirit has been extensively carried on in a police station jurisdiction and preventive action has not been taken by the police, neglect of duty on the part of the officer in charge of the police station will be presumed. (7) Attention must also be paid to the unlicensed sale of spirit in large towns by sodawater sellers and others, and to the smuggling of country spirit in thanas ading Indian States. (8) Any charas coming into the Punjab by any other routes than those sanctioned should at once be detained under section 61 of the Excise Act, and the orders of the Collector taken. Charas smugglers generally travel by rail and can easily be captured in cooperation with the railway checking staff, who while examining their tickets can also examine their luggage. (9) The use of cocaine, except for medical and surgical purposes, is altogether prohibited in the Punjab. The principal places in the Punjab into which it is smuggled are Lahore, Amritsar, Rawalpindi, Ambala and Karnal.

(11) No opium can be imported into a district without a ; and any police officer can, therefore, detain bulk opium if there is no . He can also search a person whom he believes to be guilty of having excess quantities of opium in his possession. Any police officer above the rank of head constable may search premises in which he believes smuggled or illicit opium is stored.

(3)
An officer in charge of a station shall also render assistance whenever required to all officers of the Criminal Investigation Department working within his jurisdiction.
(4)
25.2 Power of investigating officers.-- (1) The powers and privileges of a police officer making an investigation are details in sections 160 to 175, Criminal Procedure Code.
(5)
An officer so making an investigation shall invariably issue an order in writing in Form 25.2(1) to any person summoned to attend such investigation and shall endorse on the copy of the order retained by the person so summoned the date and time of his arrival at, and the date and time of his departure from the place to which he is summoned. The duplicate of the order shall be attached to the case diary.
(6) (7)
No avoidable trouble shall be given to any person from whom enquiries are made and no person shall be unnecessarily detained. It is the duty of an investigating officer to find out the truth of the matter under investigation. His object shall be to discover the actual facts of the case and to arrest the real offender or offenders. He shall not commit himself prematurely to any view of the facts for or against any person.
25.2
Action when offence occurring in another police station is reported- When the occurrence of a cognizable offence in another police station jurisdiction is reported, the fact shall be recorded, in the daily diary and information shall be sent to the officer in charge of the police station in the jurisdiction of which the offence was committed. Meanwhile all possible lawful measures shall be taken to secure the arrest of offender and the detection of the offence.
25.3
Where offence appears to have occurred in other police station.-- (1) If a police officer after ing a case and commencing in investigation discovers that the offence was committed in the jurisdiction of another police station he shall at once send information to the officer in charge of such police station.
(2)
Upon receipt of information such officer shall proceed without delay to the place where the
investigation is being held and undertake the investigation. 25.5.
Disputes as to jurisdiction—Should the officer who is thus summoned to the spot dispute the jurisdiction both officers shall tly carry on the investigation under the orders of the senior officer and neither shall leave until the question of jurisdiction has been settled and acknowledged. The case recevid shall be kept at the police station where the information was first received until the question of jurisdiction has been decided.
25.6. Relieving and relieved officers to sign case diaries—When a police officer is relieved in the course of an investigation he shall record a report of all that he has done in case diary and sign, it giving the date and hour of his relief. Such case diary shall be made over to the relieving officer, who shall certify thereon that he acknowledges the case to have occurred within his station limits, or to be one which he is empowered to investigate as the case may be. 25.7. Cancellation of a case in one police station and registration in another—When a case is transferred from one police station to another, the offence ed in the original police station shall be cancelled by the Superintendent and a first information report shall be submitted from the police station in the jurisdiction of which the case occurred. 25.8.

(2). If it is desired to transfer the case to police station in another district, the Superintendent shall refer the matter to District Magistrate and move him to act a according to the orders contained in Chapter 26, VolumeIII, of the Rules and Orders of the High Court.

Optional investigation-(1). Section 157(b), Criminal Procedure Code, gives wide powers to an officer in charge of police station to refrain from investigation in unimportant cases. It is the duty, however, of every officer receiving a report to consider not only the intrinsic importance of the offence alleged and the expressed wishes of the complaint but the bearing which the report has or may have on the detection of other cases or on the prevention of crime and the control of criminals. Very many cases which appear trivial in the themselves may, if investigated furnish a clue to the operations of professional criminals or afford valuable material at a later date for preventive action. In practice is seldom advisable for an officer in charge of a police station to avail himself of the power to refuse investigations, which the law gives him.
(2). When, at the time when a report of a cognizable offence is received, the investigating staff of the police station concerned is already occupied with more important cases, the investigation of which would suffer by being interrupted, such report shall be duly recorded and investigation may be dispensed with.

(4). When investigation is dispensed with, a note shall be made in the first information report stating whether the complainant desires an investigation or not and full reasons shall be given for abstaining form investigation. All such cases shall be brought to the notice of the Superintendent of Police personally, who shall such orders on them as he may think fit in accordance with the principle embodied in this rule. 25.10. Immediate despatch of an officer to the spot.—When a report of a cognizable case is recorded and it is decided not to dispense with investigation under section 157(1). Criminal Procedure Code, a police officer shall proceed to the scene immediately. The officer who first proceeds to the spot http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Investigation in non-cognizable cases—(1) No Police officer shall investigate a non-cognizable offence unless ordered to do so by a competent magistrate under section s 196-B or 202, Criminal Procedure Code. (2). When an investigation in a non-cognizable case is thus ordered and is taken up by the police under section 155(3), Criminal Procedure Code, it must be carried through in the same manner as if the offence were cognizable, except that no arrest shall be made without a warrant. In every such case a police officer making an investigation shall day by day enter his proceedings in a case diary and submit them daily as prescribed for cognizable cases in Police Rules (25.53.

Orders in Writing—All orders in writing made in a case, i.e. order to arrest to search and to summon etc. shall be attached to the case diaries, or their absence shall be satisfactorily ed for. 25.13. Plan Scene-(1) In all importantly cases two plans of the scene of the officer shall be prepared by a qualified police officer or other suitable agency one to be submitted with the charge sheet or final report and the other to be retained for departmental use. (2) The following rules shall govern the preparation of maps or plans by patwaris or other expert:--(i) Pursuant to paragraph 26 of the Patwari Rules, the Financial Commissioner, with the concurrence of the Inspector General of Police, issues the following instructions concerning the preparation by patwaris of maps needed to illustrate police inquiries. (ii) In ordinary cases no demands for such maps will be made upon patwaris. (iii) In the case of heinous crime, especially in cases of murder or riots connected with land disputes, the police officer investigating the case will if he considers an accurate map is required, summons to the scene of the crime the Patwari of the circle in which it occurred and cause him to prepare two maps, one for production in court as evidence and the other for the use of the police investigating agency. In the former reference relating to facts observed by the police officer should be interred while in the latter references based on the statement of witnesses which are not relevant in evidence may be recorded.

He will not write on the map, intended for production as evidence in the court any explanations, The police officer may write any explanations on the traced copy of the map. (vi) It is for the police officer himself to add to the second copy of the map such remarks as may be necessary to explain the connection of the map with the case under inquiry. He is also responsible equally with the Patwaris for the correctness of all distances, but on the copy of the map drawn by the Patwari for presentation, in court he will make no remarks or explanations based on the statements of witnesses. (vii) It will be convenient if all the entries made by the Patwari are made in black ink, and those added by the police officer in red ink. (viii) Patwaris will not in any case be required by a police officer to make a map of an inhabited enclosure or of land inside a town or village site. 24.14 Technical assistance in investigation.—(1)Investigating officers are expected to take steps to secure expert technical assistance and advice, whenever such appears desirable in the course of an investigation for purposes of evidence or for demonstration in court. (2) The Criminal Investigation Department is able to obtain expert technical assistance on many subjects and should be freely consulted in that connection by investigating officers through their Superintendents of Police. When such assistance is required a full report shall be sent to the Assistant Inspector General, Crime and Criminal Tribes, so that he may be in a position to decide whether it is essential to send an expert to the scene of the crime or whether the material to be dealt with should be sent to the expert. In making such reports use should be made of telegraphic and telephonic facilities. (3) The Criminal Investigation Department , in conjunction with the Finger Print Bureau, undertakes photographic and some other varieties of technical work. In addition it is in with technical expers on many subjects, whose services can frequently be obtained for work in connection with criminal investigation.

(2) Nothing in the preceding sub-rule shall debar a Superintendent of Police or investigating officer from availing himself of any expert technical assistance, which may be directly available to him, for the purpose of investigation. If expert evidence is to be given in court, however, it should be provided by Government experts only, when such experts exist. (3) The connection with the examination of arms and ammunition, arsenal officials should only be required report, and if absolutely essential, give evidence (I) on technical factory points, e.g., whether a weapon is in serviceable condition: whether a particular part of a weapon is factory or mistri made, and the like; (ii) on the type of ammunition intended to be used ( not can be used as experience shows that there is practically no limit in this respect ) in a particular weapon; and (iii) whether a cartridge has been reloaded, nature of load, and the like . Arsenal expert shall not be used for elaborate and definite sworn testimony as to whether a particular missile was or was not fired from a particular weapon. Should districts desire opinions of this nature they may apply to the Criminal Investigation Department for assistance but such references should be confined to cases of major importance only., 25.16. Cases against Government servants. – When a Government servant is accused or is suspected of the commission of an offence in the course of his official duties his immediate departmental superior shall, as far as may be wise and practicable, be kept informed regarding the course of the police investigation. 25.17.

Instructions regarding the production of police records as evidence are contained in Rule 27.24. (3) The Governor’s Rules to secure the protection of sources of sources of information under section 58 of the Government of India Act, 1935 and the Inspector-General’s directions framed under those Rules will be found in Appendix 25.18-A. 25.19.

Persons requiring examination at the head quarters of a district shall be taken to the Civil Hospital and not to a branch dispensary; similarly in rural areas, where a hospital is accessible, medico-legal cases shall be sent there and not to a rural dispensary. (2) Medical officers of the Irrigation Department are prohibited from undertaking medico-legal work and officers in charge of district board dispensaries may only be called upon to do such work, for which they must be qualified in other respects, in cases of emergency . Medical officers may not be called upon to proceed to the scene of an occurrence to examine injured persons except in cases of real urgency and when it is impossible to convey the injured person to the nearest dispensary or hospital.

The rules under which medical officers, other than those subordinate to the Civil Surgeon, may charge fees for medico-legal work on behalf of Government are given in the Punjab Medical Manual; in certain cases fees may also be charged by medical officers employed by district boards. In no case, however, are such fees debatable to the police department; any claim submitted to Superintendents should be ed on, with the necessary information, to the District Magistrate.

(6) Medico-legal cases not requiring urgent attention should be sent for examination during hospital hours only. (7) The unnecessary summoning as witnesses of medical subordinates, to the detriment of their proper activities, shall be avoided as far as possible, and, when the attendance of such an officer is necessary , as much notice as possible shall be given him.

Records in custody of the post office.—The law regarding the production of documents or things in the custody of the Postal or Telegraph Department is contained in section 95, Code of Criminal Procedure. The instructions issued by the Director General of Post Offices (paragraph 152 of volume V of the Posts and Telegraphs Manual) regarding production of records in the custody of the post office are as follows:-- Records of post office or mail office should be produced and information available in them should be given on the written order of any police officer who is making investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure; but only those entries in the records should be disclosed which relate to the person or persons accused of the offence under investigations or which are relevant to that offence. In any other case the official in charge of the office should without delay refer for orders to the Postmaster General, who will decide whether or not under section 124 of the Indian Evidence Act, I of 1872, the information asked for should be withheld. When the information asked for by a police officer is not available in the records of the post office, the police officer should be informed accordingly, irrespective of the question whether the information, if available, might or might not be given under the foregoing rule. 25-25. Track Law.—Provisions of law regarding tracking are contained in sections 41 and 42 of Act IV of 1872 (Punjab Laws Act). 25-26. Importance of foot-prints and track evidence.—(1) Footprints are of the first importance in the investigation of crime. For this reason all officers in charge of police stations shall instruct their subordinates as well as all lambardars and chaukidars that, when any crime occurs all footprints and other marks existing on the scene of the crime should be carefully preserved and a watch set to see that as few persons as possible are permitted to visit the scene of the crime. When it desired to produce evidence of the identity of tracks found at the scene of or in connection with a crime, the procedure for securing the record of such evidence shall be similar to that prescribed in rule 26.32 for the identification of suspects. The attendance of a Magistrate of the highest available status, shall be secured, but if no Magistrate is available and the case is of great urgency, independent and literate witnesses of reliable character like Sarpanches or Panches or Lambardars, shall be requested to conduct proceedings, but before they hold the parade, the rule regarding the holding of parades shall be explained to them. In the presence of the Magistrate or other person conducting the test and in conformity with any reasonable directions which they may give, ground shall be prepared for the tests. On this ground the suspect or suspects and not less than five other persons, for each suspect, shall be required to walk. The Magistrate or the person conducting the test shall record the names of all these person and the order in which they enter the test ground. The suspect shall, of course, be given option to take any place of his choice in the Parade and a note to this effect shall be recorded in the Memo of proceedings which will also indicate whether he has availed of this option. While these preparations are proceeding the tracker of other witness who is to be asked to identify the tracks shall be prevented from approaching the place or seeing any foot-prints of the persons ing the test parade. When all preparations are complete, the tracker or the identifying witness shall be called up and required to examine both the original tracks whether lifted on the moulds or otherwise and those on the test ground and hereafter to make his statement. The Magistrate or the person conducting the test, shall record the statement of the tracker or the identifying witness as to the grounds of his claim to identify the tracks, and shall put such other questions as he may deem proper to test his bona-fides. Neither any Police Officer nor any person connected with the case shall be allowed to take any part in the conduct of the test. The person other than the Magistrate conducting the test may, however, associate with them one or more independent witnesses of reliable character. If the tracks of culprits found at the scene of crime are shodfooted, the Magistrate or the other person conducting the parade, shall be requested to take the shoes into possession, paste their signed paper slip on the shoes and seal them after the parade. When itting the accused or suspect whose track parade is to be held in Jail a request in writing shall be made to the Jail authorities to see that the accused or suspect does not change the shoes. At the time of arrest in such cases, the Police Officer making or ordering the arrest will take the shoes of the accused in possession, paste a chit signed by himself and witness on it and seal them. The parcel will be opened by the Magistrate or other person conducting the parade and resealed after the parade as above. If however, the tracker, for any reason such as inefficiency, careless confusion or adverse influence of the suspect, fails to correctly identify the tracks, the mater should not be left there. It is still open to the Investigator, if another more efficient and reliable tracker is not available, to get the moulds for foot-prints found at the scene of crime and those prepared and duly initialled by the Magistrate or other person holding the parade at the time of the track identification parade, compared by the Director, CID, Scientific Laboratory, Phillaur, and obtain his expert opinion as to whether the foot impressions in both the mounds tally. Tracks which it is desired to test by comparison as above, shall be protected immediately on discovery, and their nature, measurements and peculiarities shall be recorded at the time in the case diary of the investigating officer. The details of the preparation of the test ground and the actions required of the suspect and those with whom his tracks are mixed must vary according to the circumstances of the case. The person conducting the test shall so arrange that the identifying witness nay be given a fair chance, but under the strictest safeguards, of comparing the original tracks with other track, made on similar ground and in similar conditions. Before inviting person other than the Magistrate to conduct the proceeding, the Police Officer concerned will ensure that he is not interested in or against the suspect or accused.

The Police Rules, 1934
The evidence of a tracker or other experts described in the foregoing rule can be substantiated by the preparation of moulds of other footprints of the criminal or criminals found at the scene of the crime. The method of making moulds of footprints by means of plaster of Paris or a composition of two parts of resin to one part of wax or parafin is taught to all students at the Police Training School but requires practice before an officer can become proficient. The only advantage in the first method (plaster of Paris) is the quickness with which the material sets. Resin and wax are cheap and can be used more than once.
In making mounds for production as evidence the following precautions should be observed:-- (a) The footprints found on the scene of the crime must be pointed out to realise witnesses at the time and these same witnesses must be present during the preparation of the mounds. (b) The later must also be signed or marked by the witnesses and the officer preparing them while still setting. (c) After the procedure described in sub-rule (2) above has been completed a mould should be prepared in the presence of the magistrate or witnessed of one of the foot-prints of the suspect made in their presence. This mould should be signed by the magistrate or witnesses when still setting. (d) Both mounds should be carefully preserved for production in court for identification by witnesses and comparison by the court. Methods of recording footprints-(1) by tracing through glass footprints found on the ground or other surface, and (2) by taking impressions of feet direct on to paper, as in the case of finger impressions, are taught at the Police Training School. Such records at the scene of offence. They may also be used to check the reliability of local trackers. 25-27. Confessions… The orders of the High Court by which magistrate are bound in respect of the record of statements or confessions are contained in Appendix No. 25-27. All supervising and investigating police officers must familiarise themselves with these instructions and conform strictly to them in producing accused persons for the record of their statements. 25-28. Statements recorded by magistrate…(1) The circumstances under which police officers may require a statement to be recorded by a magistrate are as follows:--(a)
The statements, made in the course of an investigation by a witness or an accused person, and not amounting to a confession, may be recorded by a magistrate under section 164 Code of Criminal Procedure, in order that it may be available as evidence at a later stage. Such statements may be recorded in any of the manners prescribed for recording evidence.
(b)
A confession may be recorded under section 164, Criminal Procedure Code, irrespective of the tender of a pardon, and of whether it involves more persons than the individual accused making it.
(c)
In the classes of offences specified in section 337, Criminal Procedure Code, a police officer may, at any stage of the investigation, inquiry or trial, move a magistrate empowered under that section to tender a pardon to an accused person.
(d) In cases in which a pardon cannot be tendered under section 337 Criminal Procedure Code, but in which it is desirable to obtain the evidence of a suspect against his accomplices, a police officer may recommend to the District Magistrate that the local Government be moved to give a promise not to prosecute an offender, subject to his fulfilling whatever conditions might be imposed in giving such promise. Action of this nature can only be taken before the case has been sent for trial. Note:- The original orders on which this paragraph is based are contained in Punjab Government Circular 2/117 of 27th April 1898 as qualified by circular No.426 of 30th September, 1906, and were reproduced as Appendix 25.41(3) of Punjab Police Rules, Edition 1915. (2) If a professional offender is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment or transportation and it appears that he belongs to a gang of offenders and is willing to do everything in his power to bring the of such gang to justice, or to give valuable information leading to the discovery of stolen property, the Superintendent may apply to the State Government for suspension or remission of the sentence of such prisoner under section 401, Criminal Procedure Code. Such application shall be made through the District Magistrate. 25.29. Confessing accused and approvers—(1) The Criminal Procedure Code supplemented by the High Court instructions quoted in Appendix 25.27 prescribe a number of precautions which are intended to give to a court conducting a trial the maximum assurance that a confessing accused has not been subjected to such pressure or inducements as to invalidate this evidence under section 24, Indian Evidence Act. All police officers, who exercise any authority in connection with investigations, are required to have a through understanding of these provisions. The departmental instructions here give merely supplement and in no sense replace them. (2) The main requirements, in so far as the police are concerned, are:--(a)
No police officer may offer a pardon. An accused person desirous of making a statement with a view to obtaining a pardon, shall be told that no promise whatsoever can be made, but that, if a statement is made and verified and found to be of sufficient importance to merit such action, the facts will be reported to a magistrate, who has power to offer a pardon. No steps may be taken in this connection by subordinate police officers without the previous sanction in writing of a gazetted police officer.
(b)
Statements, whether under section 164 or 337, Criminal Procedure Code, shall be recorded by the magistrate, other than the District Magistrate, having the highest powers, who can be reached within reasonable time. Save for special reasons, which must be explained by the investigation officer, such statements shall never be recorded by 2nd class magistrate unless they have been specially empowered to record such statements.
(c)
The magistrate is required to make enquiries as to the circumstances leading up to the confession; and police officers shall invariably furnish, so far as is in their power, information required of them in this respect.
(d) (e) (f)
Police officers connected with the investigation shall not be present while the confession is being recorded. Magistrates are required to give orders, when remanding to custody persons who have made a confession, that they shall be kept separate from other prisoners. Approvers shall remain under arrest until the conslusion of the trial.
(g)
When more than one person confesses or turns approver in a case, their confessions shall, if possible, be recorded by different magistrates and they shall not be allowed to meet one another till their evidence has been recorded in court.
(h)
Magistrates shall be moved to record statements of confessing persons in full detail; in political cases and those in which professional criminals whose activities extend over a large field are suspected, copies (in English) of approvers’ statements and confessions shall be sent to the Deputy Inspector General, Criminal Investigation Department.
(3) It must be ed that the prosecution of a gang case, even without an approver, in a section 3C magistrate’s court, is a very lengthy and difficult task owing to the large number of witnesses and the numerous linked individual cases. If, however, the prosecution relies upon an approver, the length and difficulty of the task is at least doubled as, in accordance with section 337(2-A), Code of Criminal Procedure, the case has to be committed to the Sessions or High Court. Therefore, before the launching a gang case under section 400 or 401, Indian Penal Code, with an approver, the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police should first satisfy themselves that is not possible to secure satisfactory results by proceeding in individual cases without resort to section 400 and 401, Indian Penal Code. If, however, it should still appear expedient to conduct a gang case, they should ascertain whether the district resources are equal to the strain of both committal proceedings and trial in the Sessions or High Court without outside assistance. If the district resources appear to be inadequate, the case should then be referred through the Deputy Inspector General of the range to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, for decision whether the case should or should not be undertaken. 25-30 Place of trial – With regard to the place of trial of cases falling under sections 179-183, Code of Criminal Procedure, police officers shall act solely with reference to the public convenience. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Post-mortem examination – when and by whom held. – (1) The legal requirements in respect of post-mortem examination by a qualified surgeon are contained in section 17(3), Code of Criminal Procedure. In every case where death appears to have been due to suicidal, homicidal, accidental or suspicious causes and where any doubt exists as to the exact cause of death, or if it appears to the officer conducting the investigation – whether under section 157 or section 174, Code of Criminal procedure – expedient to do so, the body shall be sent to the nearest medical officer authorized by the Local Government to conduct post-mortem examination. The sending of bodies of examination may only be dispensed with, where such action is otherwise required when conditions exist, such as advanced putrefaction, which would clearly make examination useless. (2) An investigating officer is empowered by law with the discretion to dispense with a surgical examination of the body – (a) if he is fully satisfied that the cause of death is established beyond doubt, (b) in the circumstances described at the end of the preceding sub-rule. In regard to the former condition, it must be ed that the existence of an apparently fatal wound does not necessarily establish the cause of death. In cases where investigation establishes the accidental nature of the event which led to the death and the history of the deceased and of the, case suggests no reason to suspect that expert examination of the body will reveal any cause of death other than the apparent one, such examination may be dispensed with. In all cases where suspicion exists that the death was due either to suicide or to an act rendering the perpetrator thereof liable to a criminal charge the body must be examined by a qualified medical officer, if possible. (3) The law requires that the body shall be sent to the nearest qualified medical officer, and the orders of the Local Government prohibit the summoning of such officer to conduct his examination at or near the scene of the death save in exceptional cases. These may occur, where, owing to advanced putrefaction or the circumstances in which the corpse was found, movement of the corpse may make it impossible for the medical officer to form a correct opinion as to the nature of the injuries or the exact cause of death. In such cases if the investigating officer considers expert postmortem expeditious means available to the Superintendent of Police or gazetted officer in charge of the case, with a request that a qualified officer shall be sent to the absence of District Magistrate from headquarters to give orders for the medical examination of the body at the scene of death. (4) In cases where it is impossible either to send a body to a qualified medical officer or to have it examined by such officer on the spot, the investigating officer may, at his discretion, request the nearest Government medical officer, even though such officer be not authorized to conduct post mortem examination, to assist him with his anatomical and other expert knowledge in estimating the effects and causes of injuries, etc. Such medical officers are not empowered to perform any operation on the body. Medical officers of the Irrigation and Public Health Departments and of local bodies cannot be called upon in this connection unless they have been specially authorized by the Local Government to undertake the medico-legal work (vide rule 25.19). 25-37. Post-mortem examinations – action to be taken by police. – When corpses are sent for medical examination the following rules shall be observed:--(1) The result of the investigating officer’s examination of the body shall be carefully recorded in form 25-39(1). Clothing found on the body, foreign matter adhering to it and any instrument likely to have caused death remaining in a wound or on the body shall be secured in the position in which found, if possible, or, otherwise, shall be carefully packed separately, according to the instructions contained in rule 25-41. (2) To counteract decomposition as far as possible the body shall be sprinkled with Formalin diluted to 10 per cent and shall also be so used with strong solution of chloride of lime in water. Bodies which have to be carried long distances should be sprinkled with the dry powder of chloride of lime or with carbolic powder sold commercially in tin boxes with a perforated lid specially constructed for sprinkling purposes. The use of powdered charcoal is prohibited, as the stains caused thereby may complicate the task of post-mortem examination.

In giving general or special direction the Inspector General of Police shall be under the general control of and comply with, such instructions as may from time to time be given to him by the Governor in his discretion.
3.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by a police officer to any person (not being a member of the same force) who is authorised by the Governor in his discretion either by a general or special direction in this behalf to receive such disclosure or communciation.
4.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by a servant of the Crown (not being a police officer) to any person who is authorized by the Governor in his discretion either b y a general l or special direction in this behalf to receive such disclosure or communication.
5.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by any servant of the Crown (not being a police officer) of facts ascertained by himself made to a Superintendent of Police or District Magistrate of a district or to an officer of the Criminal Investigation Department of or above the rank of Sub-Inspector or to any police officer conducting an investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898.

The Police Rules, 1934
9.
If any person in the service of the Crown in the province other than a police officer considers it necessary in the interests of the istration that such record or information should be disclosed or given to any person, he shall refer the matter to the Governor, and the decision of the Governor in his discretion shall be final.
10.
A servant of the Crown who is in doubt whether in any particular case he is compelled by, or permitted under the provisions of these rules to make a disclosure or communication may before making the disclosure or communication require that the matter be referred for direction by the Inspector General of Police or the Governor in his discretion, as the case may be.
4.
The above principles apply equally Council questions. The great majority of these can be disposed of without reference to local officers. Sometimes when a question consists of several parts, a reference to local officers is necessary only in regard to one or two of these parts. Where a reference is made, it should be stated in regard to which parts information is required. Further, where a question asks for information which will require considerable time and labour for its collection, local officers should not be asked to supply this information, unless the Secretary concerned is satisfied that the information may reasonably be given in spite of the time and labour involved. Where he does not think that this is the case, he should obtain the orders of the Member of Minister concerned before starting inquiries which may later prove unnecessary. When it is decided not to collect information required to answer a council question the proper answer is. “It is not in the public interest to collect this information”.

50. Instructions as to statements and confessions of accused persons.—The following instructions (contained in Rules and Orders of the High Court, Volume III) or the subject of taking and recording statements and confessions of accused person should be observed:--Confession an statements of accused persons The provisions of sections 164, 342 and 364 of the Criminal Procedure Code witl regard to the confessions and statements of accused persons should be carefully studied. Section 164, deals with the recording of statements and confessions at any stage before the commencement of an enquiry or trial. Section 342 deals with the examination of accused persons during the course of the enquiry or trial. Section 364 prescribes the manner in which the examination of accused persons is to be recorded. 2. The object of section 164, Criminal Procedure Code, is to provide a method of securing a reliable record of statements or confessions made during the course of the police investigation, which could be used, if necessary, during the enquiry or trial Under section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act, a confession to a police officer is inissible in evidence, and hence when an accused person confesses during police investigation the police frequently get it recorded by a magistrate under section 164 Criminal Procedure Code, and it can then be used to the extent to which it may be issible under the Indian Evidence Act. 3. Under section 80 of the Indian Evidence Act, a court is bound to presume that a statement of confession of an accused person taken in accordance with law and purporting to be signed by any judge or magistrate is genuine, and that the certificate or note as to the circumstances under which it was taken, purporting to be made by the person g it, are true, and that such statement or confession was duly taken. The words “taken in accordance with law” occurring in this section are very important and it is essential that in recording a statement or confession under section 164, the provisions of that section should be strictly followed. Some important changes were made in the section in 1923 and the form of the certificate to be attached to the statements and confessions was also altered. The evidential value of a confession depends upon its voluntary character and the precision with which it is reproduced and hence the section provides safeguards to secure this end. These safeguards are of great importance as confessions are often retracted at a later stage and it becomes necessary for the Court to ascertain whether the alleged confession was actually and voluntarily made. The mere fact that a confession is retracted does not render it inissible in evidence, but the Court has to scrutinise any such confession with the utmost care and accept it with the greatest caution. Experience and common serise in fact show that in the absence of some material corroboration it is not safe to convict merely on a retracted confession, unless from the peculiar circumstances under which it was made judging from the reasons, alleged or apparent, of retraction there remains a high degree of certainty that the confession, notwithstanding its having been resised from, is genuine (of, 30 P.R. 1914 (Cr.) ). 4. Some important features or section 164 as it stands now are:--(a) (b)
statement or confessions made in the courses of an investigation can be recorded only be a magistrate of the second class who has been specially empowered by the Local Government. Confessions must be recorded and signed in the manner provided in section 364.
(c)
Before recording any such confession the magistrate shall explain to the person making it that he is not bound to make a confession, and that if he does so it may be used in evidence against him.
(d)
No magistrate shall record any such confession unless upon questioning the person making it, he has reason to believe that it was made voluntarily, failure to question has been held to vitiate the confession (I.L.R. 2 Lah. 325).
(e)
The memorandum set forth in section 164(3) must be appended at the foot of the record of the confession.
(f)
It is not necessary that the magistrate receiving or recording a confession or statement should be a magistrate having jurisdiction in the case.
5. The annexed from for recording confessions taken under section 164 has been prescribed and should invariably be used. 6. Unless there are exceptional reasons to the contrary confessions should be recorded in open court and during court hours, Police officer investigating the case should not be present.

7. An accused persons who has been produced for the purpose of making a confession and has declined to do so, or has made a statement which is unsatisfactory from the point of view of the prosecution, should, in no circumstances, be remanded to police custody. 8. Section 342 of the Code empowers to the court to put questions to the accused at any stage of enquiry or trial to enable him to explain any circumstances appearing in evidence against him. The questions put under this section must be confined to the points brought out in the evidence and should not be in the nature of cross-examination of the accused person. Nor should the power given by the section be used to elicit information from the accused to fill up gaps in the prosecution evidence (of. I.L.R 4 Lah 55). For the conviction of an accused person can only be based on the evidence produced by the prosecution. No oath can be istered to the accused and the answers given by him can only be taken into consideration in explanation of the prosecution evidence. 8.A. The magistrate is allowed by section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to examine the accused at an early stage of the case for the purpose of enabling him to explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence against him. This provision is intended for the benefit of the accused, and must not be used to elicit his defence before the prosecution evidence is complete. Magistrates sometimes question the accused generally on the case as soon as a prima facie case has been made out, but before the prosecution evidence is complete. This is incorrect. According to the second part of clause (1) of section 342, it is only after the completion of the prosecution evidence that the accused can be questioned generally on the case. The necessity for postponing such examination is not avoided by framing a charge at an early stage. Even when a charge has been framed, the magistrate should wait until the prosecution evidence is concluded before making a general examination of the accused. 9. Section 342 makes it obligatory for a Court to examine the accused generally on the case after the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined and before the accused is called for his defence. Even when and accused person has been examined at an earlier stage the Court must examine the accused generally after the close of the prosecution case (i.e. after the examination and cross-examination of prosecution witnesses and their further crossexamination, if any, after the charge is framed) and before the accused is called upon to produce his defence so as to give him an opportunity to explain any points which were not included in the questions put to him at earlier stages. Failure to examine the accused at the close of the prosecution evidence has been held to be an illegality which vitiates the trial (vide 71.L.R. Lah. 564). 10. Under Section 256 of the Code, if the accused person puts in a written statement, it should be filed with the record. But a written statement of this kind does not relieve the Court of the duty of examining the accused in Court after the close of the prosecution evidence as laid down in section 342. 11. Section 364 provides the mode in which the examination of an accused persons is recorded. The questions put to the accused and the answers given by him should be distinctly and accurately recorded. The examination of the accused should be recorded in the language in which he is examined, and if that is not practicable in the language of the Court or in English. In cases in which examination is not recorded by the Magistrate or Judge himself he must record a Memo. Thereof in the language of the Court or in English if he is sufficiently acquainted with the latter language. The examination must be read over to the accused and made conformable to what he declares to be the truth. The Magistrate or Judge must then certify under his own hand that the examination was taken down in his presence and hearing and that the record contains a full and true of what was stated. 12. Under section 533 of the Code, if any court before which a confession or other statement of an accused person recorded or purporting to be recorded under section 164, or section 364, is intended, or has been received in evidence, finds that any of the provisions of either of such sections have not been complied with by the magistrate recording the statement it must take evidence that such person duly made the statement recorded and such a statement may then become issible in evidence notwithstanding the provisions of section 91 of the Indian Evidence Act, provided the error has not prejudiced the accused as to his defence on merits.

If the answers are of such a character as to require him to do so, he should put such further questions as may be necessary to enable him to judge whether the accused person is acting voluntarily. In arriving at his conclusion on this point the magistrate should consider inter alia the period during which the accused person has been in police custody and make sure that the confession is not the result of any undue influence or ill treatment.

The Police Rules, 1934 Blood-stain cases.
The entire garments or other articles suspected to be stained with blood should be sent if possible, not portions removed or cut from them. A label with number and description of the articles should be stitched or tied (not gummed or pasted) to each separate article, care being taken that the labels correspond with the invoice list of articles. When the label is tied to the articles the string should be sealed. Note.—(1) Take care that the stains are quite dry before being packed for examination. West stains readily decompose. (2) Do not make a circle with ink or indelible pencil around the suspected stains. In wet weather or during examination such circles run into the stain and interfere with the tests. (3) Wet blood stains on a culprit’s body should be removed with a clean cotton swab and properly dried before being sent for analysis. Dry blood stains on a culprit’s body may be gently scrapped into an envelope and then despatched for analysis. Documents which should be forwarded:--A.—By post— (1)
Forwarding memo, and invoice list of articles for examination.
(2)
Impression or imprint of seal used in the case.
B. With the articles— (1)
Duplicate copy of forwarding memo and invoice list.
(2)
Duplicate impression or imprint of seal used in the case. Semen cases.
This entire garment, etc., should be set. The cloth should not be folded at the stained portion. The stain should be kept quite flat, and should be protected by a thin layer of cotton wool on each surface. Note.—It is better to send swabs from the vaginal mucus than mounted slides. These swabs should be first dried and then forwarded in a small box or phial carefully labeled. Rules for preserving and packing exhibits for transmission to the Chemical Examiner. I.
II.
The suspected organs or other exhibits should be placed in lean glass bottle or jar having a good fitting stopper or cork. Wide mouthed bottles or jars of sufficient size must be used, otherwise the contents readily decompose. It is also difficult to empty narrow-mouthed bottles or jars that are tightly packed. Materials that are liable to decompose should be preserved by one of the following methods:--(1) In cases of suspected human poisoning other than alcohol, phosphorus, carbolic acid and some of the lesser known volatile poisons, the material sent should be immersed I rectified spirit. The spirit should be sufficient to cover the material immersed in whatever position the vessel containing it may be held. On no use common bazaar spirit. A separate four ounce bottle of the rectified spirit added should be sent for independent analysis s a control. (2) In those cases mentioned above where rectified spirit should not be added, the preservative used should be salt solution and the same precautions for immersion of material should be exercised. A salt solution is made by adding a full tablespoonful of salt to about a pint of fresh clean water. A separate four ounce bottle of this salt solution should be sent for independent analysis as a control. (3) If two or more examinations have to be made on the same occasion, the medical officer should complete one and label and seal the articles connected with it before commencing a second examination, otherwise there is risk of the viscera, etc., of one case getting mixed with those of another. He should clean his instruments and vessels before commencing the second case. (4) In cases of suspected cattle poisoning the viscera or other material should be prescribed in rectified spirit with the same precautions as those exercised in human poisoning cases (item2). (5) It is advisable to keep a sample of the preservative added under lock and key in case the bottle containing the sample sent to the Chemical Examiner should arrive broken.
III. Great care should be taken that the stopper or cork of the bottle or jar fits tightly; especially in this necessary during the hot weather, when rectified spirit is added as a preservative. The stopper may first be candle-waxed and then carefully tied down with leather or water proof and sealed. IV. To Secure identity, the bottles or jars should be properly labeled with a list of the contents. V. The bottles or jars should then be placed in a strong wooden box with plenty of packing material to ensure against any breakage’s during transit. Saw dust, cotton wool, and dried grass are suitable for this purpose. Old officer papers, etc., should not be used as the copies of the forwarding documents enclosed in the box are liable to be thrown away with this waste paper packing material. Keep these documents well away from the bottles as breakage’s or leakage’s are apt to stain them. VI. The box itself should be covered with common garha cloth properly sewed and sealed. Seals should be at short intervals of three inches along each line of sewing. All the seals must be similar and preferably the wax should be of the same kind. The seal used should be the ordinary office seal and must be kept under lock and key. Current cons, or a series of straight, curved or crossed lines must not be sued as seals. The box should be properly addressed and sufficient stamps added to cover postage; the box must also be franked. VII. Under no circumstances should viscera from different cases be included in the same parcel. VIII.
The dispatching officer who is invariably the Civil Surgeon or another medical officer authorised to conduct post-mortem examination; is personally responsible that these instructions are carefully followed.
Note. In order to minimize the chances of parcels being lost in transit between the office of the Chemical Examiner and the Railway Station at Lahore, all articles for medico-legal examination should be sent by post as far as possible or better still by hand. IX. In cases where the police send a closed parcel through the medical officer and the latter has no occasion to open it in transmission, the parcel should be packed in a second cloth cover and the forwarding memo should also be enclosed. This procedure is necessary and prevents cases getting mixed up on receipt of the Chemical Examiner’s office. X. The labeling and numbering of articles should not be in the vernacular but in English. XI.
A declaration of the contents to the Postal authorities is unnecessary. APPENDIX 25.42(2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALING WITH SUBSTANCES ON OBJECTS SUSPECTED OF BEING EXPLOSIVE Introduction.
Explosive substances or objects which may cause explosion may be met within the following forms:http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
427/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
A. Liquids.—For example nitroglycerine. These will rarely have to be dealt with. The possession of a liquid explosive is generally illegal. B. Solids:-- (1) Blasting explosives.—Dynamite, Gelatin Dynamite, Blasting Gelatin, Gelignite, etc. These are usually made up in cylinder form about two inches long in waterproof paper wrappers, stamped with the maker’s name. They vary in consistency, from a taught leathery material to a soft one like ordinary stiff jelly. (2) Gunpowder. May be black, brown or gray and is made up in cylinder form, cubes, pebbles, grains and powder. (3) Gun Cotton. – Is white and is supplied in slabs or cylinders or loose like ordinary cotton wool. (4) Gun, rifle and shot gun powders.—These are generally in cords, tapes or grains, but are found as small cubes or flakes. In colour they may be white, pink, yellow, blue or black.

Signals.—These may be ships-flares, signal lights, etc. They are not fire works.
C. Gases – Liquid or compressed gases (ammonia, oxygen, hydrogen, acetylene, carbon-dioxide) or cylinders, sparklets, etc., may under certain circumstances cause violent explosion. Instructions A local police officer should communicate at once with the Superintendent of Police, who will himself proceed, or depute some responsible officer to proceed, to the place to carry out the following instructions:--1. If you have any reason, however slight, to suspect that the substance or object with which you, are dealing is dangerous then regard it as being Highly Explosive until such time as it is proved to be otherwise. 2. ********************* 3. During the removal, guarding or examination of any substances or object suspected or being explosive, all unnecessary persons whether police or otherwise should be sent away. 4. If the substance you are examining is Liquid, proceed as in paragraphs 6 or 7. Solid, proceed as in paragraphs 8, 9 or 10. Gas, proceed as in paragraph 11. 5. If the object you are examining is a,--Detonator or cap. ] Fuse, ] Cartridge, ] Firework, ] Rocket, ] proceed as in paragraph 12 Signal light ] Bomb, proceed as in paragraph 13. 6. (1) If the substance is a liquid in an open vessel - Carefully dip into the liquid a pencil or thin piece of stick and allow one drop to fall on a small piece of blotting paper or tin foil (silver paper). Remove this ten yards or more from the vessel or vessels containing the bulk of the liquid, place it upon a flat surface or iron or stone and strike it a sharp glancing blow with a flat headed hammer. Repeat the test three times with fresh drips and also by burning a fresh drop of the liquid on blotting paper in the flame of a spirit lamp or candle. (A) The substance explodes or burns rapidly. Place about half an ounce of the liquid in a small clean bottle, carefully cork it up (do not use a glass or metal stopper), and after packing in cotton wool in a box or tin, send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives, Northern India, with your report. The bulk of the liquid should be locked up in an isolated place until instructions are received from the Inspector of Explosives, Northern India, as to its disposal. (B) The substance does not explode or burn rapidly. Place about hald an ounce of the liquid in a small clean bottle, cork up and after packing send by post to the Inspector of Explosives, Northern India, with your report, the bulk of the liquid should be locked up in any convenient place until the report of the Inspector of Explosives is received. 7. (2) When the substance is a liquid in a closed vessel— (1) If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will not come out when using only moderate power, do not attempt to open but send it by messenger to the nearest Inspector of Explosives together with your report, first having carefully packed the bottle upright http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
in a box with straw, sawdust, or paper, etc. (2)
If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will come out, then proceed as in paragraph 6.
(3) If the vessel is not suspected of being a bomb and is of metal or other hard material and the stopper will not come out when moderate force is use, do not attempt to open but remove the vessel very gently, and in such a manner as to expose it toas little shaking as possible, and without turning it over in any way, to such open place of safety in the vicinity as may be available, where its ignition or explosion would be attended with a minimum of mischief, e.g., a yard or a garden or other open space from which he public are or can be excluded . The tow pieces of strong cord to the vessel ing one cord round a hook or tree and from round the corner of a building and after all persons have been removed from within range, pull the cords backward and forward so that the vessel is upset and given as severe a shaking as possible, then leave the vessel alone for twelve hours. If explosion is not obtained and the vessel is not too large sent it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. If the vessel is a large one, try once more to open it using more force. If you cannot open it, remove the vessel to a convenient place where it can be locked up and send a copy of your report and all connected papers to the Inspector of Explosives. 8. When the substance is a solid in an open vessel: (1) Carefully take out with a piece of cardboard or flat stick a few grains of the solid and after removing it ten yards, or more away from the vessel or vessels containing the bulk of the substance, place it upon a flat surface or iron or stone and strike it a sharp glancing blow with a flat headed hammer. Repeat the test three times with fresh substance and also try burning a small portion on blotting paper in the flame of a spirit lamp or candle. (A) The substance explodes or burns rapidly. – Take a very small amount of the substance, add to it a little water and notice what happens. If the substance undergoes no change and here is no sign of any gas being given off, or of heat being generated, place about half an ounce of the substance in a small clean bottle and fill up with clean water. Cork the bottle carefully, taking the precaution not to use a glass or metal stopper, and then pack it in cotton wool in a box or tin and send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. (B) The substance does not explode or burn rapidly. – test a small amount of the substance with water in exactly the same way a detailed in (A). if the substance undergoes no change and there is no sign of any gas being given off, or of heat being generated, place about half an ounce of the substance in a small clean bottle and fill up with water. Cork the bottle carefully, and after packing, send it by post to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. The bulk of the substance should then be covered with clean water and locked up in any convenient place until the report of the Inspector of Explosives is received. (2) If you find that the substance under sub-paragraphs (A) and (B) does undergo a charge, etc., when water is added proceed exactly as before, except that the sample in all cases should be sent dry, and the bulk also kept dry. Make certain that your bottle is absolutely dry before you put the sample into it. 9. When the substance is a solid in a closed vessel,--(1) If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will not come out when only moderate power is used. Do not attempt to open it but send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives together with your report, first having carefully packed the bottle upright in a box with straw, sawdust, paper, etc. (2)
If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will come out then proceed as in 8.
(3)
If the vessel is not suspected of being a bomb and is of metal or other hard material proceed as in 7(2).
10. When the substance is calcium carbide or calcium phosphide. If it is desired to destroy calcium carbide or calcium phosphide, this can be done by dropping them into deep water, but not more than half a pound at a time, waiting until no more gas is given off before a fresh portion is destroyed. 11. When the substances is gas, -- Gases are generally found compressed in cylinders, sparklets, etc. They should b kept cool and away from the direct rays of the sun. If it is desired to know what gas is in any cylinder, the whole cylinder should be even up in the coir matting and sent by train to the Inspector of Explosives toghther with your report. Small cylinders or sparklets only a few inches long can be sent by post if well packed in cotton wool in a wooden box. 12. When the object is a detonator, cap, fuse, cartridge, firework, rocket, light these should never, under any circumstances, be sent through the post. A few should be carefully packed separately in cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the inspector of Explosives together with your report. The bulk should be locked up in an isolated place. 13.
When the object is a bomb:--(1)
These may be met with in the following forms:--A. Military grenades. B. Copies of military grenades. C. Bombs made up in soda bottles, jam tins, water cistern floats, chatties, coconut shells, bundles of jute or hemp, bomboo tubes, etc. D. Book bombs. E. Letter bombs.

(3) Before touching the bomb examine it where it lies and see if you can detect the arrangement for firing. See if there is any trigger and, if so, if it is set or not. Do not move the bomb, unless you are satisfied that it is safe to do so. If you are not satisfied, then place a guard over the bomb and report to your senior officer. A. Military grenades. – The first thing to do, is to see that the safety pin is in position, that it is not broken or corroded and that the ends are well splayed out so that it cannot be jolted out. See that the jaws of the laver are in good condition and the striker correctly. Being satisfied on these points, the base should be unscrewed and, if the igniter set is present, it should be carefully removed. Pack the igniter set and the bomb in cotton wool in separate wooden boxes and send by hand to the inspector of Explosives, together with your report. If the safety pin and level are missing and the striker is inside the bomb, it will probably have to be destroyed in situ. Set a guard over it where it lies and report to your senior officer. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

B. Copies of military grenades. – These are generally something like a military grenade but are of cruder finish, They must only be handled by persons who have handled bombs before. It is generally possible to render them harmless by removing an explosive cap or tuft of gun cotton. This should only be done when you are satisfied that the trigger is safe. Do not put this type of bomb in water but, provided the trigger has been made safe, it should be packed in cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the Inspector of Explosives together with your report. C. bombs made up in soda bottles, etc. – First arrange a string bag and strong cord over a large bucket of hot water. Carefully remove the bomb keeping it in the same position as found and place it in the hag and from round the corner of a building, first having sent everybody present under cover lower the bomb into the hot water and leave it there for 24 hours. The water will then be cold. It may then be taken out and be carefully packed in wet straw or cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the inspector of Explosives together with your report. If the bomb is well made and there is a possibility that the water may not have penetrated inside, it should be given the rough treatment described in paragraph 7)3) before being sent away. D. Book bombs. – These are bombs made up in book form and are generally designed to explode when the book is opened or turned over. Such a bomb should be very carefully taken to an isolated place, keeping it in the original position all the time and be locked up. Send a report on the subject to the Inspector of Explosives. E. Letter bombs. – These are letters containing explosives which are designed to explode when opened. Place the whole letter in a bucket of water. When the letter is quite wet, pack it in a tin in wet cotton wool and send by hand to the Inspector of Explosives, together with your report. F. Booby Traps -1.
“Booby Traps” are bomb generally designed to explode in the presence of an officer who is engaged in searching suspected premises.
2. They may be designed to explode when the bomb is moved in any way or electric contract is made by some action of the officer or by clockwork or chemical means. 3. The most prevalent procedure is to cause one bomb to explode in a house by time fuse, such as a burning candle, leaving a second bomb which will explode when the officer comes to investigate the first explosion, or the officer may be tempted to the house by a message, telephone call, etc. 4. Another method is to leave the second bomb with an obvious means of ignition such as a burning candle in the hope that the officer will extinguish the candle and then consider the bomb as safe whereas it is really designed to explode if moved in any way. 5. Never enter a house or room in which you suspect booby traps by the obvious way. First smash a window or knock a hole in the wall with a crowbar opposite the door to see if the door can be safely opened. 6. Enter the house or room very slowly touching nothing until each object has been carefully examined. Make a loop at the end of a long rope and drop the loop over each object which might be a bomb without touching it. These may be such things as tins, trunks, kettles, lamps, buckets, boxes, clocks, etc. From outside the room or house jerk the object about by means of the rope and do not enter the room or house again for some minutes in each case. Open the lids of boxes or trunks by means of the rope from round the corner. 7.
If and unexploded bomb is discovered after this treatment proceed as in paragraph Cabove. APPENDIX No. 25-43(4)

The Police Rules, 1934 REMANDS TO POLICE CUSTODY.
1. Remands to Police custody when to be granted.—Before making an order of remand to police custody under Section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the magistrate should satisfy himself that,--(1)
there are grounds for believing that the accusation aginst the person sent up by the police is well founded.
(2)
There are good and sufficient reasons for remanding the accused to police custody instead of detaining him in magisterial custody.
In order to form an opinion as to +the necessity or otherwise of the remand applied for by the police, the Magistrate should ascertain what previous similar orders (if any) have been made in the case, and the longer and accused person has been in custody the stronger should be the grounds required for a further remand to police custody. The accused person must always be produced before the Magistrate when a remand is asked for. 2. the following principles are laid down before for the guidance of Magistrates in the matter of granting remands, and District Magistrates are required to see that they are carefully applied:--(i) Under no circumstances should an accused person be remanded to police custody unless it is made clear that his presence is actually needed in order to serve some important and specific purpose connected with the completion of the enquiry. A general statement by the officer applying for the remand that the accused may be able to give further information should not be accepted. (ii) When an accused person is remanded to police custody the period of the remand should be as short as possible. (iii) In all ordinary cases in which time is required by the police to complete the enquiry, the accused person should be detained in magisterial custody. (iv)
Where the object of the remand is merely the verification of the prisoner’s statement, he should be remanded to magisterial custody.
(v)
A prisoner, who has been produced for the purpose of making a confession and who has declined to do so, or has made a statement which is unsatisfactory from the point of view of the prosecution should in no circumstances be remanded to police custody.
3. In any case when an accused person is remanded to police custody, the reasons must be recorded in the order of remand, and when the Magistrate ordering a remand is not himself a Sub-Divisional or District Magistrate, he must at once send a copy of his order, with his reasons for making it, to the Sub-Division or District Magistrate to whom he is immediately subordinate. If the limit of 15 days has elapsed, and there is still need for further investigation by the police, the procedure to be adopted is that laid down in Section 344, Criminal Procedure Code. The case is brought on to the Magistrate’s file, and the accused, if detention is necessary, will remain in magisterial custody. The case may be postponed or adjourned from time to time for periods of not more than 15 days each, and in each adjournment expires the accused must be produced before the Magistrate, and the order of adjournment must show good reasons for making the order.

General powers of arrest-Section 54, Code of Criminal Procedure, authorizes any police officer to arrest without a warrant any person who has been concerned in any cognizable offence or against whom a reasonable complaint has been made, or credible information has been received, or a reasonable suspicion police to arrest without a warrant, is how ever permissive and not obligatory. Whenever escape from justice or inconvenient delay is likely trestle from the police failing to arrest they are bound to do so; but in no other cases. The law allows a police officer to apply to a Magistrate for a warrant or summons instead of making the arrest immediately, and this discretion shall be exercised whenever possible expedient.
26.2.
Power to defer arrest- If the fact that suspicion rests upon particular person has been kept secret, and there is no risk of his absconding, the police shall defer making the arrests until the investigation is sufficiently complete; but if any inter absconding, and the facts justify arrest, the police shall arrest him and shall not interfere with his liberty unless they arrest him.
26.3.
Search of persons under arrest—(1) All person arrest by the police and not itted to bail shall , as soon after arrest as possible, be thoroughly searched; in the case of females such search shall be conducted by a woman and shall in all cases be conducted with due regard to decency. An inventory of all articles taken in to custody by the Police from such persons under Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Code shall be prepared in duplicate by the carbon copying process and the carbon copy thereof shall be sent forthwith to a Magistrate as required by Section 523 of the said Code. (2). Every prisoner in police custody shall be searched on first ission to an on every occasion when he is re-itted to a lock-up after being taken any where beyond the precincts of the police station. Sweepers, bhishtis and every other person other than a police officer having access to a lock-up shall be searched before entering and on leaving. The searching of women shall be done by a woman. (3). Solders in police custody shall not be deprived of their shoulder titles, badges or rank and medal ribbons but medal ribbons but medals shall be taken in to safe custody. Sikh prisoners shall be permitted to retain their karas and Hindus their seared threads.
26.4. Lock ups-(1) Outside every lock-up which is guarded by the police shall be displaced a notice showing, in English and Urdu the maximum number of prisoners which the lock-up is authorised to accommodate. He authorized number shall never be exceeded; any excess shall be accommodated in a convenient building under an adequate guard or transferred to the nearest available lock-up. (2)The door of a lock-up shall not be opened except in the presence and by the direct order of the officer commanding the guard, who shall take all possible precautions to prevent a rush or escape. When the circumstances of the use of a particular lock-up are such that prisoners are constantly being itted or removed, special standing orders for the safe conduct of the operation shall be framed by the Superintendent of Police and included in the standing orders for the guard over such lock-up .

The Police Rules, 1934
(3)When it is necessary to keep prisoners in a lock-up which is in an insecure state all male prisoners, who would , under the provisions of rules 26.22 and 26.23, be liable to be handcuffed under escort, shall be handcuffed while confined in such lock-up. (4)Every under-trail prisoner in the lock-up unable to provide himself with sufficient bedding shall be supplied with such beddings as may be necessary. Ordinarily 1 blanket and 1 munj or bhabhar mat shall be issued to each prisoner in the summer. In the winder 3 blankets shall be issued for each prisoner . For this purpose a sufficient supply of blankets and munj or bhabhar mats shall be obtained from the District Magistrate and maintained for use in lock-ups. Blankets and mats shall not be stored in lock-ups and issued when required. Private bedding may be supplied by relatives or friends of the prisoner. All such bedding shall be carefully examined by the Police Officer in charge who shall return the same when the prisoner is released or remanded to judicial custody. When private bedding is suppli9ed a report to this effect shall be entered in the station daily diary. Jail rules permit the use of beds and provide for special sanitary and bathing facilities for A and B class convicts . Such facilities are not available in all Police Stations, but they should be provided for better class prisoners in Police custody so far as is possible. Endeavours should be made to confine better class prisoners in Police Stations which possess amenities of this kind and to segregate better class from ordinary prisoners”. (5)An allowance for a sweeper and bhishti for each lock-up will be made by the Jail Department. 26.5. Warrants to be taken out when wanted persons abscond.—Permissive authority is given to the police to arrest without warrant in certain cases in order that they may not be handicapped by having to obtain a Magistrate’s warrant under Section 204. Code of Criminal Procedure, when the arrest of a criminal or suspect who is present before them is urgent. The law provides, however, no penalty for merely evading arrest by a police officer, though it penalizes resistance to , or escape from , such arrest. On the other hand the law does provide severe penalty or recalcitrance to an order in the form of a warrant by a Court , entirely. Respective of the evidence of the guilt of the person against whom the warrant is issued. For merely evading obedience to a warrant of arrest, a man is liable to proclamation and the confiscation of his property and any one who harbors him, as defined in Section 52-A of the Indian Penal Code, can also be severely punished. Whenever , therefore, a person is wanted, whose whereabouts are not immediately known, the notice shall, before setting off in search of him, obtain a warrant of arrest from the Court having jurisdiction . Unsuccessful search without such a warrant is merely waste of time. On the other hand immediately it is found that, in spite of all reasonable effort, a warrant cannot be executed, a proclamation order under Section 87, Criminal Procedure Code, can be obtained and, on proclamation being dully carried out, attachment under Section 88, Criminal Procedure Code, can immediately follow, and connivance by any person at the continued absconding of the person proclaimed becomes punishable under section 216, Indian Penal Code. Note.—Under Section 200, Clause (QQ) , Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 204. Code of Criminal Procedure, a Police Officer can obtain a warrant on a written complaint. 26.6. Illness of persons under arrest. – When a person in police custody is suffering from any illness or injury at the time of arrest , or becomes ill or sustained injury while in such custody such a person shall be medically examined at the earliest opportunity so that the nature and cause of the illness or injury may be ascertained and proper treatment given. 26.7.
Identification of accused. – (1) Whenever there is doubt as to the correctness of a statement made by an arrested person regarding his identity, residence or antecedents, an attestation certificate in Form 26.7(1), shall at once be despatched to the officer in charge of the police station in the jurisdiction of which such person claims to be resident; such officer shall immediately make, or cause to be made, all necessary inquiries, and shall ascertain if such persons name is entered in the Village Conviction . The certificate shall be returned completed with as little delay as possible and shall be attached to the chart-sheet . This form of attestation certificate shall be used whether the person arrested states he is a resident of the police station in which arrested, or of some other police station, and whether or not a search slip is despatched to the Finger Print Burea. (2)Detailed orders regarding the preparation of search slips and the finger print system are published in the Police Finger Print Bureau Manual.
26.8. Report of arrest. – (1)Under Section 62, Code of Criminal Procedure, an officer in charge of a police station is required to report to the District Magistrate, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, or such other Magistrate as the District Magistrate may direct, all arrests without warrant made by himself or in his jurisdiction. (2)Reports of such arrests shall be made in Form 26.8(2) whether the person arrested has been itted to bail or not and may be sent by post. 26.9. Arrest on a telegram.—(1)In any case in which he has jurisdiction to arrest, a police officer shall take action on a telegram from a police officer or Magistrate requiring him to arrest a person for a cognizable offence, but when such telegram is received from a private person he shall not arrest unless the particulars given cover a cognizable offence and afford reasonable that the person to be arrested is the offender. (2)If a telegram is received by a police officer requesting him to arrest a person for an offence which appears to such police officers to be noncognizable he shall lay information before a Magistrate having jurisdiction with a view to the issue of a summons or warrant. If such Magistrate declines to issue a summons or warrant the orders of the District Magistrate shall be sought. (3)A police officer who dispatches a telegram to another police officer requesting him to arrest a person without warrant shall be responsible that the information in his possession is sufficient to justify, and that the police officer addressed has jurisdiction to make such arrest. In all such telegrams suthcient particulars shall be given of the person to be arrested and the offence of which he is accused. 26.10. Co-operation with Police of Indian States.—(1) The procedure for securing the arrest and extradition of offenders in Indian States who are accused of having committed offences in British India is prescribed in Punjab Government Consolidated Circular No. 20. The India Extradition Act XV of 1903 governs arrests and extradition from British India to Indian States. Detailed instructions regarding the extradition of criminals and foreign jurisdiction and the application of the Indian Extradition Act are contained in Chapter 16 Volume III, Rules and Orders of he H9igh Court of Judicature of Lahore. (2)The powers of pursuit of offenders conferred by Section 58, Criminal Procedure Code do not cover pursuit into the territory of and Indian State; established custom and usage in respect of the relations between the British Government and such States, however, permits such pursuit, and requires the authorities of the States concerned to render all opposable assistance in investigating cases, following up offenders and effecting their apprehension and detention pending the grant of extradition. Reciprocal arrangement have, however, been made with Jammu-Kashmir, Patiala, Jind, Nabha, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Malerkotla and Bikaner and these have been embodied in rules framed by the Governor-General in Council under the Indian Extradition Act and Stead in Foreign and Political Department Notification No.107-I, dated the 24th February, 1932, which appears as Appendix 26.10(2) of these rules. Officers of the Punjab Police entering Indian State territory in pursuit of offenders, or for purposes connected with an investigation, shall invariably inform the nearest police or other official of the State and summon him to their assistance at the earliest possible moment, and, pending the arrival of such assistance shall take only such action as is necessary to prevent the escape of offenders or the removal of stolen property. Though the right of pursuit is recognized by convention, no rights of search ar arrest vest in police officers as such beyond the limits of British India. Searches for and arrests of persons and searches for property must, therefore, be carried out by the State police having jurisdiction,acting on the request of the police of British India. (3)Section 54 seventhly, Criminal Procedure Code, and Rule 28 of the rules made under Section 39-A , Punjab Laws Act (IV of 1872) , confer power upon police officers, village heen and village watchmen to arrest persons suspected of having committed extraditable offences in Indian States. These powers may be exercised upon information received from any source including the police of an Indian State. Persons so arrested shall be taken before a qualified Magistrate without delay with a view to steps being taken for extradition. (4)Searches for property may be conducted only in accordance with Sections 165,166 or 96, Code of Criminal Procedure. When the police of an Indian State require such a search to be made in British India in connection with a case under their investigation, such search can only be conducted if the information is such as to warrant the police of the British District concerned opening an investigation of an offence punishable under Section 411, Indian Penal Code or any other extraditable cognizable offence or on the obtaining by the police of the district of a search warrant under Section 96, Criminal Procedure Code. Pending the receipt of such warrant the district police shall place a watch on the house to be searched and http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
take all other necessary steps to prevent the removal of the property. State police shall not be permitted to take any such action independently of the police of the district concerned. (5)General Rules framed by the Punjab Government and the Durbara of certain Indian States to secure co-operation between the police in ading jurisdictions are contained in Appendix 26.10(5). In respect of matters not covered by those rules and the preceding sub-rules, the principle that the police of Punjab Districts have no jurisdiction in Indian States and the police of such State have no jurisdiction in British Districts must be strictly followed. All action required must be taken by the police having jurisdiction. The handing over of accused persons to the police not having such jurisdiction is strictly prohibited. When it is essential for the purposes of an investigation that an accused person should be sent to any place for the purposes of investigation, he shall be taken by the police who are legally entitled to his custody, and they shall be responsible for him in every respect. The attendance of witnesses from one jurisdiction to an investigation in another cannot be enforced. (6)All police officers shall at all times do all in their power to promote friendly relations and a spirit of co-operation with the police of Indian States. In the absence of such relations the limitation of jurisdiction must inevitably have harmful effects on the control of crime. (7)Whenever the police of one jurisdiction demand assistance from the police of another they shall cause an entry to be made in the daily diary of the police station concerned. 26.11. Cancelled. 26.12.

(2) The general rules defining the procedure in the case of offences committed by persons subject to the Army Act or the Indian Army Act (VIII) of 1911, which can equally be tried by a court martial or a criminal court, are contained in Appendix IX of the Regulations for the Army in India Extracts from this Appendix are given in Appendix 26.14(2) of these rules. (3) The procedure governing the delivery of an offender to the Civil Power as laid down in Regulations for the Army in India, is as follows:-- “When a person subject to the Army Act commits an offence under conditions precluding trial by court martial or an offence of a grave nature, which could be equally tried by a court martial or a civil court, against the person or the property of an individual unconnected with the army, his unit commander shall at once inform the police and the nearest Magistrate and under the orders of the brigade commander the offender shall for an offence of the former class, and will ordinarily for an offence of the latter class, be handed over to the Civil Power for trial. After a person, subject to the Army Act, accused of an offence such as is referred to in proviso (a) to Section 41 of the Army Act, has been handed over to the Civil Power for trial, the competent authority (see Appendix IX, Part-II) may instruct the Advocate General to apply to the High Court for the committal or transfer of the case to the High Court under Section 526-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. (Paragraph 227 Regulations for the Army in India). 26.15. Detention of sarwan or camel of a camel cadre. – Cases of detention by the police of a sarwan or of a camel belonging to a camel cadre shall be reported by the officer in charge of the police station to the Commandant or nearest Indian officer of the cadre within 12 hours, the reason for such detention being given. 26.16.

These powers are permissive and not obligatory an should be exercised with caution.

If expenditure is considerable owing to the number of persons arrested in a case, or owing to remand in police custody being granted, intermediate applications for refund, ed by an explanation of the circumstances, may be made through the prosecuting branch to the Magistrate having jurisdiction in the case. (3) All food brought for a prisoner by relatives or friends shall be made over to the police station clerk or head constable in command of the guard and shall be examined for prohibited or injurious articles. After such examination the food shall be given to the prisoner by a police officer. The person bringing the food shall have no access to the prisoner.

When a lawyer wished to consult and advise a prisoner confidentially as to the conduct of his case, the prisoner may be removed from the lock-up and allowed to sit apart with his lawyer, but within the precincts of the police station and in the sight of the sentry. At the conclusion of such an interview the prisoner shall be searched as prived in sub-rule 26.3(2). 26.29 Orders to be hung up outside lock-ups – A printed copy, in English and Urdu, of Rules 26.3, 26.27 and 26.28 shall be hung up outside every police lock-up as a standing order for sentry and for the information of the public. 26.30 Diet and expenses of witnesses – The instructions regarding the advancing of diet money and travelling expenses to witnesses contained in Rule 27.28 shall be strictly followed in all police stations. 26.31 Details in police custody – (1) When any person dies while in the custody of the police, the officer in charge of the guard, escort or police station, as the case may be, shall make an immediate report of the fact to the nearest Magistrate empowered to hold inquests (Section 176, Code of Criminal Procedure). (2) For the purpose of this rule, a prisoner in a magisterial lock-up is considered to be in the custody of the turn key and a prisoner in prison or prison camp in the custody of the jailor. 26.32 Identification of suspects – (1) The following rules shall be strictly observed in confronting arrested suspects with witnesses who claim to be able to identify them. (a) The suspects, who are to be subjected to an identification parade, shall be informed about it at the time of their arrest to enable them to take necessary precautions by way of keeping their faces covered and a request shall be made to the Magistrate to record a note in the remand papers regarding such precautions having been taken by them so as to eliminate any subsequent objection by the suspects that they had been shown to the witnesses before the identification parade was held. The proceedings shall be conducted by a Magistrate or, if no Magistrate is available and the case is of great urgency then, by Sarpanch who may summon one or two independent and literate, if possible, persons of reliable character, not interested in the case to assist him and to certify that the identification has been conducted under conditions precluding collusion. Such proceedings shall not be conducted by a Police Officer. The Police Officer concerned before inviting a Sarpanch to conduct the proceedings must ensure that the Sarpanch is not biased or intrested in or against the accused or suspect and that he understands the rules of the proceedings. Every effort should be made to secure the presence of a Magistrate and services of Sarpanch only secured when absolutely necessary. In the absence of a Sarpanch, a Lambardar may be invited to do the needful. (b)
(c) (d)
Arrangements shall be made, whether the proceedings are being held inside a jail or elsewhere, to ensure that the identifying witnesses shall be kept separate from each other and at such a distance from the place of identification as shall render it impossible for them to see the suspects or any of the persons concerned in the proceedings, until they are called up to make their identification. Identification shall be carried out as soon as possible after the arrest of the suspects. The suspects shall be placed among other persons similarly dressed and of the same religion and social status, in the proportion of 8 or 9 such persons to one suspect. Each witness shall then be brought up separately to attempt his identification. Care shall be taken that the remaining witnesses are still kept out of sight and hearing and that no opportunity is permitted for communications to between witnesses who have been called up and those who have not. It is desired, through fear of revenge or for other adequate reasons, that witnesses shall not be seen by the suspects, arrangements shall be made for the former, when called up to stand behind a screen or be otherwise placed so that they can see clearly without being seen. The results of the tests shall be recorded by the Magistrate or other persons conducting the test in Form 26.32(1)(c) as each witness views the suspect. On conclusion, the Magistrate or the Sarpanch or the Lambardar and the witnesses, if any, shall sign the form and certify that the test has been carried out correctly and that no collusion between the police and witnesses or among the witnesses themselves was possible. It is advisable that, whenever possible, an independent and reliable person, un-connected with the Police, should be present throughout the proceedings at he place where the witnesses are kept, and should be required to devote his attention to the prevention of collusion. It is important that once the arrangements for the proceedings have been undertaken, no police officer whatsoever shall have shall have access whatever either to the suspects or to the witnesses.
(2) Proceedings of the nature described above are extra-judicial. It is not the duty of the officer conducting them or of the independent witnesses to record statements or cross-examine either suspects or identifying witnesses, but they should be requested to question the latter as to the circumstances in which they saw the suspects whom they claim to identify, and to record the answer in column 4 of the form. While every precaution shall be taken to prevent collusion, the identifying witnesses must be given a fair chance, and conditions must not be imposed, which would make it impossible for a person honestly capable of making an identification to do so. In this connection attention is invited to paragraph 814 of the Punjab Jail Mail, which strictly prohibits the alternation in any way to he personal appearance of unconvicted prisoners, so as to make it difficult to recognise.

PART III PROCEDURE IN CASES OF CIVIL OFFENCES COMMITTED BY PERSONS SUBJECT TO THE ARMY ACT. Home Department Notification No. F.102/35, dated the 12th March 1935. In the exercise of the powers, conferred by sub-section (1) of section 549 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 ( Act V of 1898), and insupersession of the Notification of the Government of India in the Home Department , No. F/465/28, dated the 27th June 1982, the Governor-General Council is pleased to make the following rules as to cases in which persons subject to military, naval or air force law shall be tried by a court to which the said Code applies, or by a court-martial , namely:--1.

3.
The procedure in a case where there is dual jurisdiction is laid down in the Indian Army Act-Sections 69 and 70; the prescribed military authority being the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, district, brigade or station commander. If the offender is in Military custody he Unit Commander Civil Mgistrate will take steps to request the prescribed military authority to decide before which court proceedings shall be instituted; but in those cases falling under the Indain Army Act, Sections 41 and 42, in which death has resulted, the decision shall rest with the district commander or General Officer Commanding-in-Chief. APPENDIX No. 26.14(3) PROCEDURE FOR DEALING WITH BRITISH SOLDIERS FOR CIVL OFFENCES Circular Memorandum from the Adjutant-General in India to all Commands and Bumma District No. B 680/2 (A.G-8) dated Simla, the 1st August 1930. (Copies to all formations and units having British soldiers on their strength). I am directed to draw your attention to the position of British soldiers who, having been convicted by a Civil Court for a civil offence, undergo their sentences in Civil Jails.
This matter has been under consideration at Army Headquarters, in view of the adverse effect, which the revised Civil Jail Classification Rules may have on the welfare of such British personnnel. The factors, which effect the possibility of such such personnel undergoing in military prisons imprisonment awarded by Civil Courts, are as follows:-- Although it is within the competence of a local Government, under Section 541 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to declare a Military Prison a place where any person liable to be imprisoned or committed to custody under the Code of Criminal Procedure shall be confined, it is not possible under the Army Act for soldiers convicted by Civil Courts to be legally received in a Military Prison constituted under Section 132 of the Act for the purpose of serving their sentences, as no power exists under Section 70 of the Army Act to make rules for carrying into effect sentences other than those awarded by Court-Martial No.Warrant of Committal similar to Form ‘C’ could, therefore, be prescribed. In these circumstances amendment of the Army would be necessary before the receptions into a Military Prison of British personnel sentenced by a Civil Court could be made legal under the Act. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
The question at issue has been represented to the Home authorities in the past, but alteration of the existing law has always been opposed by them. It is not therefore proposed to approach the Army Council at this juncture with a view to the necessary amendments to the Army Act being carried out. However, it is essential to safeguard British soldiers charged with civil offences, whose discharge from the Army is not applied for, from the contaminating influence of civil criminal assocated while in jail. His Excellency the Commander in Chief therefore directs that in all cases in which British soldiers are charged with civil offences the following procedure shall be adopted. On receipts of information from the civil authorities that a British soldiers is charge with a civil offence the Officer Commanding the unit in which the man concerned is serving will decide at once whether, in view of the character of the accused and of the crime committed, he will, if the accused is convicted apply for his discharge from the army under King’s Regulations, paragraph 370(x). If the Officer Commanding decides that discharges shall not be applied for, he will claim the accused for trial by Court-Martial, unless such trial is barred by the provisions of Army Act, Sections 41(5)(a) or is inadvisable,-- vide Regulations for the Army in India, Appendix IX, part 1, paragraph 2(a) and (b). When the Officer Commanding decide that, if convicted, the discharge of the accused shall be applied for, he will allow the civil law to take its course and not claim the accused for trial by Court Martial. Application for discharge will be submitted as soon as possible after the sentence ed by the Civil Court has become absolute either by an appeal not being preferred within the period allowed by law or by the appeal being dismissed. Should the circumstances of civil offence committed by a British soldiers disclose the fact that the crime was probably committed with the object of the accused obtaining his discharge from the Army trial by Court-Martial will invariably be resorted to unless the crime committed falls under the restrictions quoted above. The adoption of the above procedure will ensure, as far as is legally possible, that soldiers, charged with civil offences whose discharge from the Army is not desired, will not be subjected to the evil influences associated with life in a civil prison. The attention of all officers empowered to confirm Courts-Martial is drawn to the implication contained in paragraph 652(h) of King’s Regulations. Although detention is lower in the scale of punishment than imprisonment, the work and military training carried out by soldiers undergoing detention are of more professional benefit to men returning to their Units than the harder but less technical programme laid down military prisoners sentenced to imprisonment. Therefore when a solider charged with a civil offence has been claimed from the Civil Authorities for trial by Court-Martial, the desirability of committing a sentence of imprisonment to one of detention must be carefully considered. Note: The above instructions have been supplemented by A.H.O Letter No. B/21379 (A.G-8) dated the 22nd June, 1933, directing that no British soldier shall be left for trial by a Civil Court, i.e. all shall be claimed for trial by court-martial, unless the offence with which the soldier is charged is one of those which a court-martial is not empowered to try, viz, treason murder, man-slaughter, treason-felony and rape.

Extract from Chapter 3-A, of Volume IV, High Court Rules and Orders regarding the duties of the prosecuting agency towards the District Magistrate. (7) A convenient and valuable source of information for the adequate supervision of criminal business is the Police Department English of cognizable offences mentioned in the Police Rule 24-8 (1). This is placed before the District Magistrate on each working day when he is at district headquarters. It gives information not only of the action of the police (thus enabling the District Magistrate, to superintend their work) but also affords the means of watching the progress and the results of business in Court. The practice of merely initialing this after a hasty glance at it too commonly prevails, but a few minutes each day spent on considering the entries for the day and for preceding days will enable the District Magistrate to maintain a close touch with all branches of the criminal istration. The entries for the day bring to light at once the orders of courts which are prima facie unsatisfactory and which require the scrutiny of the District Magistrate. The , therefore, facilitates the making of references to the High Court, and puts the Deputy Commissioner in a position at the earliest possible moment to initiate proceedings by way of appeal. It can also be used to disclose cases which have been pending for an inordinate time. (8) The Deputy Commissioner is the head of the prosecuting agency in the district and this affords him a further opportunity of keeping in touch with the work in all courts. It is easy for him to arrange to be informed by the prosecuting agency each day of any omission on the part of courts to record the evidence of witnesses produced and to investigate promptly any complaint which may be made of dilatoriness in any particular court. (9) * * * * * * * * (10) The Judges are strongly of opinion that it is necessary to revert to the old system of sending up all material witnesses with the chalan. This system has been resumed in some districts with very marked success, but it can be carried out only if the work of Magistrates is so arranged that they shall without delay commence the trial of chalans presented to them by the police. No excuse for not proceeding at once with a chalan, should be accepted other than that the Magistrate is already engaged on another chalan, or on a complaint case in which a postponement would work genuine hardship. In such contingencies the fresh chalan should be proceeded with as soon as the Magistrate is free from the first from the first case, and it must be impressed upon Magistrate that witness should be examined at once, that the trial must proceed from day to day without interruption, that charges should be framed without delay and without adjournment for the purpose of considering whether a charge should be framed or not, and that deference should bot be paid to the wishes of an unready bar. If the presentation of witnesses along with chalans renders it impossible on any particular day to record the statement of witness present in complaint cases, the evidence of the latte should be recorded the first thing next morning before the business of that day is undertaken, and similarly on any succeeding day the arrears of the pervious day should be disposed of before the set work of that day. In this way it will be possible to avoid retaining any witnesses for more than two days at the utmost. Should congestion occur or be threatened, the Magistrate should apply promptly to the District Magistrate for sanction to fix one or more blank days in the week to be utilized for catching up with arrears, and the District Magistrate will find it convenient to receive each day from the prosecuting inspector a short note showing how the system is working in each of the subordinate courts.

The Police Rules, 1934
(11) All arrests made by the police without warrant are reported to District Magistrate under Section 62 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and all remand orders under Section 167 ed by subordinate Magistrates are similarly reported. Both these reports should be forwarded tot he ilaqa Magistrate, who has already received the First Information Report. The Magistrate of the ilaqa is, thus, in a position to know what crime is under investigation in his ilaqa, and what cases are likely to reach his Court within the next days. The Magistrate is responsible that the completion report under Section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code is not unduly delayed, and his responsibility in this respect should be emphasized. He should insist on the prompt submission of the First Information Report and of the arrest report, and he should call for the completion report from the Superintendent of Police if that report is unduly delayed. The District Magistrate should cause the ilaqa Magistrate to realize that he is not a mere Judge whose duty it is simply to decide cases produced before him, but that he is at all times responsible for the maintenance of the peace in the area which is made over into his charge. Every effort should be made to get the ilaqa magistrate to take a personal interest in and gain a through knowledge of his own than-as. (12) The Deputy Commissioner’s absence in camp must necessarily interfere with his day-to-day supervision of the work of the subordinate courts, but the interference can be minimized if arrangements are made with the Superintendent of Police that the of cognizable crime is submitted each day to the next senior Magistrate at Sadar. That Magistrate, if not exercising the powers of a District Magistrate is not authorized to issue orders to the police but the object is that he should bring immediately to the notice of the District magistrate cases in which his interference is called for, and in which Magistrate records should be obtained. Similarly the senior Magistrate can be entrusted with the duties of securing the punctual attendance of subordinate Magistrates and of seeing that witnesses are not dismissed without their evidence being recorded or that chalan cases are not delayed. (13) Not infrequently cases have occurred where undue delay has taken place in reporting for revision the unsatisfactory orders of subordinate Courts, or in moving Government to institute appeals. The delay is largely due to reliance on the monthly business statements which may not be submitted to the District Magistrate till a considerable time after the objectionable order has been ed. District Magistrates should make free use of the of cognizable crime for these purposes, and should take prompt action in cases where such action appears necessary. Having done so, they should arrange to be informed at once of any appeal that may be made to the Sessions Court in a case which has been reported, and they must report promptly to the High Court first the fact of the appeal having been filed and later its results.

District Magistrates should, form time to time, examine the s railway police station s within their districts and record remarks on such examinations in the Minute Book of the station.

There are many case which, although initially and correctly ed in railway police stations, could equally lawfull and more successfully be dealt with by the district police. Cases of murder reported to have occurred within railway jurisdiction fall into this category, if they arise out of district feuds and quarrels or have been committed outside railway limits, the railway line being merely used by the murderers with a view to creating the impression that death has been accidental. Dacoities, robberies and train wrecking, and similar offences, can often be better dealt with by the district police.

(xi)
When cognizable offences are committed in the vicinity of the railway, but such offences are not required to be investigated by the railway police under these rules, they shall to the utmost of their ability and without neglecting their more immediate duties, use every endeavour to arrest the offender and to assist the district police.
(xii)
Whenever cognizable crime on the railway is specially prevalent in a particular locality, the Assistant Inspector-General of Railway police may call on the Superintendent of Police concerned to co-operate with him in checking it. In such circumstances the Superintendent of Police concerned shall make such dispositions as, after a study of the situation, may be agreed upon by himself and the Assistant Inspector-General Railway Police, to be most suitable.

The period prescribed should not be extended on any , and if between the 15th April and the 15th October officers are in the hill away from their headquarters in broken periods, such absences (being other than absences on leave duly sanctioned by Government under the Fundamental Rules) should be added together in computing the whole period during which a stay in the hills is permissible. (2) A Deputy Inspector-General may choose his own date of arrival at, and departure from, the hill station; but if he leaves for the hills earlier than the 15th May, or stays in the hills later than the 15th October, he should report the reasons for this arrangement to the Inspector-General for the information of Government. He should keep the Inspector-General and the Commissioner informed of his movements. 20-4.

orders he may wish to regarding the routine or discipline of the lines. The report will show, as far as possible, the duties performed by officers and men in police lines the day before and the number of officers and men present in lines. It should act as a check on the wastage of man-power. 20-5. Inspection of police stations. – (1) Every police station and post in a district shall be thoroughly inspected by a gazetted officer twice in each year. At least one such inspection shall be carried out by the Superintendent. At such inspections of police stations a return for each quarter’s working since the last inspection shall be made out and submitted with an inspection report in Form 20-5 (1) to the Deputy Inspector – General, attached to the weekly diary of the Superintendent. In discussing crime, offences against the person and against property shall be commented on separately, and theft of, and illicit traffic in, cattle and other animals, shall be dealt with separately from offences against other classes of property. Attention shall be paid to the technical efficiency of the investigating staff and co-operation with neighbouring police stations and the district central investigating agency. In commenting on the working of police officers in such inspection reports care shall be exercised to avoid basing an opinion merely upon statistical results, percentages of convictions and similar data which are apt to be misleading. Reports of inspecting officers should be written with a view to conveying instruction and guidance for the future to the officer, whose work has been inspected. Such reports should invariably be shown to the officers inspected, either at once or on their return from higher authority, and should be translated into the vernacular if the officers inspected is unable to understand English. It is especially important that inspection reports on police stations and notes in the gazetted officers Minute Book should be helpful and constructive and that these reports and notes should be carefully studied and acted upon by the officer in charge of the police station. Two results of an inspection should be: - (1) that the inspecting officer should have come to a definite conclusion as to the state of crime (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) and the chief causes of such crime; (2) that the officer in charge of the police station should have received active assistance, facilities and suggestions from the inspecting officer towards the improvement of the state of crime. (2) Informal inspections of police stations and posts shall be made as frequently as the Superintendent may consider necessary and desirable, having regard to the circumstances of each particular police station and post. At such inspections, officers shall not spend more time than is necessary in examining s, but shall try to make themselves acquainted with the personnel of the police station or post as the case may be and shall enquire into and discuss matters concerning current crime, cases and procedure with the officer in charge. They shall assist such officer which advice, direction, encouragement or warning as may be required, and shall listen to and deal with any requests he or his subordinates may have to make. (3) Except for purposes of investigation, or other special reason, a police station or post shall not ordinarily be visited by a gazetted officer more than once in the same month. (4) At the end of every quarter each Superintendent shall submit, through the District Magistrate, to the Deputy Inspector – General, an inspection return in Form 20-5 (4) showing the inspection duty performed during the quarter by the gazetted officers in the district. 20-6. Check list of inspections – A check list of inspections in Form 20-6 shall be compiled and maintained in the office of the Deputy Inspector – General from such quarterly returns. 20-7. Cold weather touring – (1) In a district where there are two or more gazetted officers one such officer shall ordinarily be away from headquarters on tour between 15th October and 15th April. In a district where there is only one gazetted officer he shall ordinarily spend 100 days on tour between these dates. Great value is attached by Government to the touring of gazetted officers and, in districts where conditions allow, Superintendents of Police shall make out tour programmes for themselves and their gazetted officers. These programmes shall cater for tours of about six seeks duration and shall provide for halts of two or three days at places not necessarily the headquarters of police stations. They shall be so arranged that as many villages as possible in the district will be visited by a gazetted officer during the course of the year. Should it be necessary for a gazetted officer on tour to return to head quarters for any reason, this must be regarded as only a temporary break in the tour and the programme shall be resumed as soon as possible. (2) The work of a gazetted police officer on tour in addition to the inspection of police stations shall include,--(a) The acquiring of a knowledge of the people, their factions, criminals, villages and geography so as to be able to check the work of subordinates. (b) The encouragement of the local people to take advantage of his accessibility and give him information. (c) The enquiring in the presence of heen into the character of persons under surveillance and of persons whose history sheets are maintained by the police. (d) The checking of investigations made by the police by occasionally visiting the scenes of old cases, interviewing complainants and witnesses and referring to case diaries.

Also enquiring into the desirability of the establishment of such posts in disturbed and abnormally criminal areas. (i) The checking of “tikri pahra” where this is in force and its institution where desirable. (j) The inspection of premises licensed under the Arms Act. 20-8. City and Cantonments Inspectors – duties of – (1) City and cantonment inspectors are not only supervising and inspecting officers, but have the same responsibilities as officers in charge of police stations and are bound by the orders laid down in rule 22-1. (2) In addition to the duties, etc., defined in the rule quoted, they shall inspect once in every quarter, or as frequently as prescribed by law or special order of the Superintendent, the shops, premises and stocks of all license-holders carrying on business within their jurisdictions under the Arms, Explosives, Petroleum and Poisons Acts and shall report such inspections to the Superintendent. 20-9.

The Police Rules, 1934
(2) District inspectors shall be employed to supervise, under the direct control of the Superintendent, the work of the police in particular areas or, if local conditions at any time make it desirable, in connection with specially prevalent classes of crime. Normally a district inspector should be placed in charge of a selected group of police stations, and his responsibility for exercising control in this area should be the same as that of a Deputy Superintendents attached to a district. (3) While the control of crime is the first duty of a district inspector, it is essential that his professional efficiency should be general and should approach the standards required of a gazetted officer. He must, therefore, attend parades whenever possible and render himself efficient in drill and musketry, and in imparting instruction on those subjects to his subordinates. He is also required to familiarise himself with the work of the different branches of the office of the Superintendent and to assist, when at headquarters, in supervising the work of the ant and orderly head constable. 20-11. Special duties of District Inspectors – (1) A district inspector will read and orders on all first information and final reports, case diaries, daily diaries and other papers connected with the control of the crime in the police stations in his charge. He shall forward to the Superintendent such of these papers as that officer may be general of special order require, and shall keep a running note book of offences as prescribed for gazetted officers in rule 21-8. (2) The following matters shall receive the inspector’s special attention:--(a) The collection of material for proceedings against bad characters, and the preparation and check of history sheets. (b) The comprehensive survey and classification of crime throughout the area in his charge, and the comparison of such crime with crime in adjacent areas including the jurisdiction of the railway police, with a view to bringing to light the operations of gangs and mobile criminals. (c) The supervision of important investigations and were necessary, the taking over from the local sub-inspector of the investigation of special cases. (d) The direction of energetic action against absconders and proclaimed offenders. (e) The detailed scrutiny of all challans, including those in cases of preventive security, from the area in his charge, and close co-operation with the prosecuting branch to ensure the best possible presentation of police cases. (f) The collection of material for applications for the location of additional police posts, and the organization and control of all such posts located in the area in his charge. (g) Reporting and enquiring into complaints of corruption, high-handedness and other malpractices by police officers subordinate to him, and conducting, according to the prescribed procedure, such departmental enquiries as may be entrusted to him by the Superintendent.

It shall be the duty of inspectors to ensure that all orders given by the Superintendent in the course of his inspections are understood and promptly carried out. 20-12. District Inspectors limitation of powers of – (1) The Superintendents of Polce shall not delegate as much power to a district inspector as to a gazetted officer but on the other hand shall exercise a much closer supervision over police stations in charge of an office of this rank, who shall ordinarily work directly under the Superintendent rather than under a junior gazetted officer. (2) Correspondence concerning the internal istration of the police force and petitions on personal matters will not ordinarily through the district inspector, but the Superintendent may require that office to enquire and report on any such matters. As a general principle it should be understood that correspondence on the subjects dealt with in Volumes I and II of these rules will not be sent to the inspector either by the Superintendent or by subinspectors unless his comments on a specific reference are specially required. He will ordinarily deal direct with correspondence on subjects included in Volume III, forwarded to the Superintendent all cases which it is beyond his power to decide. (3) The orders in the above sub-rule do not relieve the inspector of responsibility for insisting on the efficiency, discipline and smartness of the police subordinate to him in all branches of their work.

Records to be kept by District Inspectors – The district inspector shall submit a weekly disary to the Superintendent on plain paper of foolscap size; in it the inspector’s daily movements and activities, with brief reference to important work done in respect of the control of crime, together with notes on matters of a political of confidential nature other than those relating to crime, shall be entered.

(2) Under these rules s in Forms E, F, G, H and I are required to be kept up in the office of Superintendents of Police and information from these s supplied to police stations for inclusion in No.17 (rule 22-68). 20-15. Proposals for the improvement of police organization – It is the duty Deputy Inspector-General to initiate proposals for the improvement of the police organization in their ranges and to co-ordinate such proposals so that, as funds become available, they may be distributed to the best advantage and in accordance with the relative urgency of requirements. Deputy Inspector-General should furnish the Inspector-General, in advance of the season for the preparation of budgets and supplementary demands, with proposals affecting establishments; buildings and land, clothing and equipment or the provision of technical aids to the police, and funds for rewards and similar expenditure in combating crime. The Inspector-General will decide whether to accept and recommend such proposals, but it is for Deputy Inspectors-General to put them forward. Each separate proposal should be submitted to the Inspector-General in a self-contained form, after all necessary details have been worked out and the opinions of those concerned obtained. To save unnecessary labour on cases which have little chance of obtaining early sanction, it is usually desirable that an outline of proposals, which are important but not of extreme urgency, should be put before the Inspector-General unofficially in the first instance. The Inspector-General can then, if he approves of the proposal on its merits, indicate whether, in view of the requirements of the province as a whole and of the financial position, it should be put forward officially or held in abeyance. 20-16. Provincial Police Conference – Ordinarily a provincial conference of police officers will be held in alternate years during the cold weather. The Inspector-General will preside at such conference and such subjects will be discussed as he may decide. Gazetted officers who may be particularly interested in particular subjects or branches of police work may volunteer or be invited to prepare papers which will form the bases of discussions at the conference. Such papers and the result of discussions will be published in the Punjab Criminal Intelligence Gazette for the information of all police officers. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Meeting of gazetted officers – Superintendents of ading districts shall meet to discuss measures of co-operation as often as may be necessary in the interest of efficient working.

Police Station Jurisdiction - District and the railway police sub-divisions are divided into police station jurisdictions according to istrative convenience and in order to meet the requirements or the Code of Criminal Procedure [section 4 (1)(s)]. The boundaries of these jurisdictions have all been fixed from time to time on the authority of the Provincial Government, and are unalterable save under the same authority. Outposts are located where necessary for the control of crime and are subordinate to the police stations in the jurisdictions of which they are located. Normally, a police station is in charge of a sub-Inspector of police and an outpost in commanded by an assistant sub-Inspectors head constable. No alteration in the number of police stations and outposts or in the boundaries of police station jurisdictions may be made without the sanction of the Provincial Government. Proposals for such alterations shall be submitted, in the form outlined in Appendix 1-10, by Superintendents of Police, through the District Magistrate to the Deputy Inspector-General of the range.

Code of Criminal Procedure, to investigate cases and such officers then have the powers to investigate, which are granted under Chapter XIV, Code of Criminal Procedure, to any officer making an investigation under that chapter. Sub-inspectors, and officers junior to a sub-inspector, may arrest under the orders of the officer in charge of a Police station under section 55, Code of Criminal Procedure, the persons detailed in that section. The definition of “officer in charge of a police station,” in section 4(1) (p). Code of Criminal Procedure, empowers other police officers, in certain circumstances, to exercise the powers of such an officer. The powers of sub-inspectors, who are not officers in charge of police station and junior officers, in dealing with unlawful assemblies, are explained in Rule 14-56(3). 1-13.

The expression “lower subordinate” includes all other enrolled police officers. PART II- RELATIONS BETWEEN POLICE AND MAGISTRATES 1-14. The Commissioner - The Commissioner exercised through his district Magistrates a general control over the istration of his division in criminal as in other matters, and is specially responsible for the maintenance of co-operation between the police and the magistracy. 1[* * * *] He is expected to give attention to special reports and measures for dealing with special types of crime, [2]1[* * * *] the location of additional police quartered in disturbed areas and the work of the prosecuting agency. It is the duty of the Deputy Inspector General of the range to keep the Commissioner of the division fully informed of tall matters of importance concerning the efficiency of the police and the state of crime. 1-15. The District Magistrate - The District Magistrate is the head of the criminal istration of the district, and the police force is the instrument provided by government to enable him to enforce his authority and fulfil his responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. The police force in a district is, therefore, placed by law under the general control and direction of the District Magistrate who is responsible that it carries out its duties in such a manner that effective protection is afforded to the public against lawlessness and disorder. In the exercise of this control the district Magistrate is required to inspect police stations. He shall exercise no executive authority in matter which concern solely the internal istration and training of the force, or in questions of discipline as between police officers and their departmental superiors, but his general control extends to all other matters. In all that affects the relations between the police and the public or the keeping of the public peace, the District Magistrate must be consulted and his orders complied with. He may (a) require the Superintendent to furnish him with any documents relating to the conduct of any subordinate enrolled police officer in any case in which the conduct or character of such police officer is likely to affect his dealings with the public or the prevention and detection of crime; (b) direct the Superintendent to enquire into any allegation of misconduct or neglect of duty on the part of any subordinate enrolled police officer in any case in which such misconduct or neglect of duty affects, or is likely to affect, such officer’s dealings with public, or the prevention and detection of crime, and to submit the record to superior police authority ; and (c) direct the Superintendent to furnish information on any matter connected with crime, the criminal classes, the prevention of disorder or the distribution of the police force, or on any other matter not connected solely with the internal istration of the force. It exercising his powers of control, the district Magistrate should avoid doing anything to weaken the authority of the Superintendent. All communications between the District Magistrate and the police shall, whenever possible, be conveyed through, and all instructions and orders to them shall similarly be issued from, the Superintendent. NOTE The above rule covers the position of district Magistrates in relation to the railway police. The District Magistrate has no departmental authority over such police, but his responsibility for the criminal istration of his district includes that portion of the railway police jurisdiction which lies within it. He has, therefore, the same authority to call for information and to inspect police stations which he has in respect of the district police, and the same interest in the prevention, detection and prosecution of railway crime as in the in the case of district crime. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
1-16. Duties of Superintendent towards District Magistrate - The primary duty of the Superintendent of Police is to afford the District Magistrate the utmost possible assistance, both himself and through the police force under his command, in the preservation of the peace and the prevention or detection of crime. He shall keep in close and constant personal touch with the district Magistrate and shall keep him fully and promptly informed both by personal conference and by written reports, of all matters relating to crime and public order. While it is his duty to initiate action of the police in such matter, he must keep the District Magistrate informed and be guided by his orders. The Superintendent of Police shall keep the District Magistrate informed of his movements generally when away from headquarters, and shall conform to his wishes should the District Magistrate, for reasons connected with the criminal istration of the district, require the Superintendent of Police to proceed to any place in the district or to remain at headquarters at any time. 1-17. Authority of District Magistrate in regard to postings, & c - All postings, removals and transfers of officers in charge of police stations within a district, shall be made by the Superintendent with the approval of the District Magistrate. If the district Magistrate considers the presence of a police officer of or below the rank of sub-inspector prejudicial to the welfare of the locality in which he is posted, he may direct his transfer elsewhere within the district. In the case of dis-satisfaction with the work or conduct of officers above the rank of sub-inspector, District Magistrate shall communicate their complaint to the Deputy Inspector General of the range. 1-18. Sub-divisional and subordinate Magistrates - The authority of a sub-divisional or a subordinate magistrate over the police is strictly limited to the powers given him by law in the exercise of his judicial functions. Any adverse comments on the proceedings of the police, which he may make, shall be communicated to the Superintendent through the District Magistrate. Similarly, if he considers that any police officer should be called on to explain his conduct, he shall report the facts of the case to the District Magistrate, who will take such action, as he considers necessary. 1-19. Sub-divisional and subordinate Magistrate – Co-operation with - Sub-divisional and subordinate are held strictly responsible, under the control of the District Magistrate, for the maintenance of the peace of the area which is made over so their charge; though they have no extra-judicial authority over the police, they are not merely Judges. The law gives them many more powers than those required for hearing cases, and they are interested in every crime in their jurisdiction from the moment of its commission. The maintenance of law and order and the suppression of crime depend upon the efforts of the public, the magistracy and the police and not upon the energy of any one of these alone. The most intimate and friendly cooperation between the police and the magistracy as a whole, and between particular magistrates and the police stationed in the area of their jurisdiction, is essential. Superintendents of Police must encourage such co-operation by every means and must sternly check all contrary tendencies. Gazetted officers and upper subordinates should cultivate friendly personal relations with all magistrates with whom their work brings them in , and every opportunity should be taken to keep magistrates informed of the state of crime in their ilagas. Conferences between magistrates and police officers, at which difficulties on either side can be discussed and remedies devised, should be encouraged; police officers coming in with chalans should frequently take the opportunity of obtaining an interview with the ilaga Magistrate and discussing with him the state of crime in their jurisdictions; and prosecuting officers, who form a valuable link between the investigating officer and the magistracy, should be instructed to on to magistrates any information of interest of importance regarding criminal matters of which they may be aware. NOTE The remarks of the Indian Police Commission, 1902-03, on the subject of relations between the police and magistrates are published as Appendix 119. 1-20. Rights of sub-division and subordinate Magistrates to inspect police records - Sub-Divisional and subordinate magistrates are not authorized to inspect police stations or to record remarks or criticisms in inspection books provided that the District Magistrate, which the concurrence of the Deputy Inspector-General, may permit a Sub-divisional Magistrate, who is a senior Assistant Commission, to make such inspectors, and to record his remarks in the inspection book. A Sub-divisional, or Ilage Magistrate, may, however, in his executive capacity, call for any of the records and ed which deal with crime for a police station, and may request the officer in charge of a police station to come to him and explain them. The orders of Government regulating the production of police records in courts of law are contained in rules 27-24. 1-21. Police to obey all orders issued in judicial capacity - The police shall obey and execute all lawful orders issued to them by judicial officers in the exercise of the powers conferred on them by law. APPENDIX No. 1-18 FORM OF GAZETTE NOTIFICATION ALTERING POLICE STATIONS JURISDICTION [3][No change in the jurisdiction of Police Stations effective till a Gazette Notification that been published by the Provincial Government. The Notification should show the complete jurisdiction of affected Police Stations for convenience of the Police. Care should be taken to see that the jurisdiction of the Police Station does not cut across the boundaries of the Civil Sub-Division in which the Police Station is located] The Governor in Council is please, under the provisions of clause (5) of sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to direct the transfer of the villages enumerated in column 3 of the sub-ed schedule, and situated in the zails mentioned in column 2, from the local areas of the police station mentioned in column to the local areas of the police stations mentioned in column 5 thereof, with effect from the date of the issue of this notification:--2. Recommendations for alterations in police stations jurisdictions shall be ed by the following information:--(a) A map on which the proposed alterations are clearly marked. (b) A statement showing the crime for the past three years of the police stations affected, with an explanation of the effect on these figures of the changes proposed. (c) A statement showing area and population of the police stations affected as before and after the proposed change. 1[3. “In framing such proposals the main object should be to secure an even and manageable distribution of crime between police stations, accessibility between police station and its villages, and the police station and court of the Magistrate incharge of the jurisdiction. APPENDIX No. 1-18 EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE INDIAN POLICE COMMISSION, 1902-03 124. Omitted. This is the connection which the law intends to exist between the magistrate empowered to take cognizance of police cases and the police. It involves the first information being sent to this magistrate, his being able to watch the case from the first, to order investigation where the police are not investigating, or to investigation up to the very last. His connection with the case is intended to begin with the first information and to continue to the end; through out he is intended to exercise an intelligent interest in the. These provisions are very generally lost sight of. The intention of the law is defeated when the first information is sent, not as required by section 157 to the magistrate having jurisdiction, but nominally to the District Magistrate, really to a prosecuting inspector or other official at the headquarters, who files it until the case is sent up finally for trial. It is also defeated when the magistrate assumes what he imagines to be a judicial attitude, and never looks at a paper or takes any interest in the case until it comes before him in court, and proceeds to dispose of it with regard only to what is put before him by the parties without any effort to do what more he can to arrive at the truth. A valuable check on police work and valuable powers in criminal istration are thus lost. 125. The intention of the law is that the police and the magistracy should work together, the former investigating the case for the magistrate, and the latter conducting the magisterial enquiry or trial, weighing the evidence collected by the police, sifting further any points that have been missed or inadequately treated, hearing all that the accused has to say or adduce on his own behalf, and deciding the case in the interest of truth and justice. 126. Omitted.

The Police Rules, 1934
The courts should be encouraged to take notice of any misconduct on the part of a police office, or of any reasonable suspicion that he has been guilty of such misconduct. Unless such misconduct is established after hearing any explanation the police officer concerned may have to offer, or unless reference to it is necessary for the elucidation of the case, it is only just to him that no notice of it should be taken in the judgment; but a separate note should be at once forwarded to the District Magistrate, who should pay due attention to it, conducing by competent and impartial agency any enquiry that may be necessary, and absolving from blame any police officer who may after all be found innocent of fault, but taking adequate notice of any misconduct that may be established. NOTE The principles enunciated in the concluding portion of the above quotation have been accepted by the Provincial Government and are embodied in Chief Court Circular No. 7-3428-G, of 19th September 1903, which reads as follows:--Chief Court Circular No. 7-3428-G, dated the 19th September 1903. Dated Lahore, the 19th September 1903. To – All Sessions Judges, District Magistrates and Subordinate Criminal Courts in the Punjab. The attention of the presiding officers of all criminal courts is called to the following extract from the proceedings of His Honour the LieutenantGovernor of the Punjab in the Home (Police) Department, No. 1632-S, dated 30th August 1903:--“ The Lieutenant-Governor agrees with the Inspector-General of Police that it is undesirable for magistrates to make remarks in criminal cases censuring the action of police officers unless such remarks are strictly relevant to the case and the officers concerned have had an opportunity of explaining their action. If remarks to which exception can be taken come to the notice of the Inspector General of Police, they should be referred for the orders of the Lieutenant-Governor, who will invite the attention of the Hon’able Judges of the Chief Court to any case in which action can appropriately be taken.” The Hon’able Judges trust that all courts will be careful in future to observe the rule laid down in these remarks. District Magistrates should themselves take whatever action seems desirable in any case coming to their notice in which the spirit of the rule has been infringed by any court subordinate to them. CHAPTER II-Establishment 2-1. Permanent establishment how fixed – The permanent establishment of a district is fixed on a careful calculation of the actual number of men required for fixed duties plus the percentage approved by Government as a reserve to provide for casualties and training in the various ranks. The establishment of each district is shown in a distribution statement in Form 2-1, issued by the Inspector General. 2-2. Fixed duties – (1) The term “fixed duties” includes:--(a) Cantonment and city police. (b) Rural police stations and their subordinate posts. (c) Headquarter establishment; guards; escorts; specialists (e.g., traffic staff); armed reserves, and mounted police. (d) Office and court duties. (2) Under division A the establishment required shall be calculated separately for (1) the investigation and station house staff (2) the watch and ward staff. No general scale can be laid down. In calculating the investigation and station house strength the principles by which the strength of rural police stations is fixed (sub-rul 3 below) shall be followed as far as possible, but additional provision will frequently be necessary for duties such as telephone orderlies, extra clercial staff, detective staff, a permanent lock-up-guard, & c. In estimating the beat staff it is necessary to plot out on a map after close study of local conditions, the number of fixed points (other than special traffic points) day and night beats, and patrols required for each town or cantonment. Careful consideration shall be given to economizing men by providing intermittent patrols instead of fixed points of beats, and by providing means of locomotion to enable a few men to cover a considerable area, wherever possible. When the number of beats, & c., has been fixed, the establishment necessary to furnish them shall be calculated on the basis of every man performing eight hours duty in each period of twenty-four hours. On this basis, the necessary calculations can be made for, and rotation of duties fixed between day and night duties, duties lasting throughout the twentyfour hours, and intermittent duties.

(2) When in any place or part of a district conditions exist or are apprehended such as are described in section 17, Act of 1861, the Superintendent of Police Shall approach the District Magistrate for the appointment of special police under that section. (3) Non-officials employed for purposes of maintaining order and on the duties of special polce shall ordinarily be enrolled under section 17, Act V of 1861, but, where a sudden crisis renders recourse to assistance from the ordinary civil population a matter of immediate necessity in the public interest, the aid of respectable and trustworthy persons may be enlisted forthwith in the maintenance of law and order without enrolment, if the danger and urgency of the situation, in the opinion of the District Magistrate, justifies their employment without the formality of enrolment. The rules regarding enrolment, discipline, etc., of such special police are given in Appendix No. 2-24(3). APPENDIX No. 2-24(3) RULES FOR THE ENROLMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF POLICE OFFICERS 1. When the entertainment of special police officers becomes necessary, or desirable, efforts should be made to appoint volunteers under section 17 of the Police Act (V of 1861) up to the numbers and in the various ranks required. No unwilling person should be appointed unless sufficient volunteers cannot be found. 2. Under section 17 of Act V of 1861, residents of a disturbed area may be appointed special police officers of any rank, but no such police officers shall be appointed to a rank equal to that of the senior officers of the regular police present on the spot. 3. Special police officers shall be subordinate to, and be under the orders of, the senior officer of the regular police present on the spot. 4. Special police officers should ordinarily be chosen from among the respectable, loyal, and influential persons of the neighbouhood whose authority is likely to be respected by the masses and who are likely to use their influence to prevent disturbances. It is not desirable ot choose ring-leaders of contentious factions unless such ring-leaders are really influential persons and in no case should a special officer be appointed as a punitive measure. 5. When special police officers are appointed, the more influential and useful from amongst them may be appointed to senior rank above the others, and be required to enforce discipline as laid down in police rules among the special police officers appointed under their command. 6. Whenever possible special police officers of good social standing should be encouraged to bring with them their tenants and dependants, who will ordinarily be enrolled as special police officers of the lower subordinate grades, a post being to the special police officer through whose agency the lower subordinates are enrolled, subject to the provision of rule 2 foregoing. 7.

A special police officer of the rank of upper subordinate will be entitled to receive all courtesies due to an officer of his rank, but his authority will extend only to special police officers under his orders and not to officers of the regular police.

Such persons should not have menial or unreasonable duties assigned to them, but the object should be to employ them in the manner best suited to make their personal influence effective. 10. Discipline – The requirements in this respect should usually be light. Any conditions of the office which might be regarded by local residents as offensive and unnecessarily irksome should not be insisted on. Physical drill, for instance, would in most cases be inappropriate and the saluting of petty officers unnecessary, while parades or attendance at the police station, when necessary, should be so regulated as to cause as ltitle inconvenience as possible. 11. A copy of sections 17 to 21 inclusive of Police Act (V f 1861) and also a copy of rules relating to the enrolment, etc., of special police officers shall be given to each special police officer as soon after enrolment as may be possible. 12.

The revolver issued to upper subordinates are the property of Government and consequently exempt from license. (3) Presentation of guns and other arms by the police for good work in criminal cases will be made only under the orders of the Provincial Government. Such arms are thus exempted under the Schedule attached to Indian Arms Act – (vide letter No. 474(Home – Genl.), dated the 28th May, 1921, from Home Secretary to Government, Punjab). APPENDIX No. 6-10(2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING MUSKETS B.L. .410 BEFORE AND AFTER FIRING Requirements:– Pullthroughs, .303 arms … 1 per musket Gauze, wire (4” x 1-1/2”) … 1 per musket Bottles, oil … 1 per musket Sticks, cleaning, chamber, .303 arms No.2 … 1 per 6 muskets Oil lubricating, G.S. gails … 2 per 100 muskets Flannelette yds … 111/4 per musket Cleaning Material – The pulthrough which will be kept in the but trap of the musket is provided with three loops. The first loop (the one nearest the weight) is for the wire gauze, the second for the flannelette and the thrid for the purpose of removing the pullthrough should it break or get jammed in the bore. If a jam occurs the man must not attempt to remove the obstruction but the musket must be taken to the Armourer. Flannelette – No other form of material will be used for cleaning the bore. For cleaning the bore (or for drying it) after firing a price of flannelette large enough to fit the bore tightly, 4”x4” will be used. It will be placed in the second loop of the pullthrough and wrapped round the cord. For oiling the bore a slightly smaller piece 3/4of flannelette will be used. If the piece used is too big, the oil will be scraped off as it enters the bore. The oil should be well rubbed with the fingers into the flannelette. Wire Gauze – In pieces 4” x 11/4, only required after firing buckshot, and when necessary to remove fouling or rust, after ball firing when not removable with the flannelette then only with the permission of an officer. In attaching it to the pullthrough the following method will be adopted:– (i) Find the gauze as in diagram so that the longer sides take the form of an “S”. (ii) Open the front loop of the pullthrough and put one side of it in each loop of the “S”. (iii) Then coil each half of the gauze tightly round that portion of the cord over which it is placed until the two rolls, thus formed, meet. The gauze must be thoroughly oiled before use and care taken to ensure that there are no loose strands of wire which may scratch the bore, then gauze will fit the bore tightly and will, if necessary, be packed with a small piece of flannelette, or other soft material to ensure it is fitting. The gauze wire should not be allowed to remain on the pullthrough. Oil – Service oil is carried in the oil bottle for which a recess in the butt is provided. No other form of lubricant is to be allowed to remain in the bore. Paraffin, though an effective agent in removing rust, will not prevent it. Stick Cleaning Chamber – Made of wood about a foot long, at one end & slot is cut, the other end is cut square to allow a grip to be taken and the stick to be round by hand. A piece of dry flannelette is placed in the slot and sound round the stock (to ensure that the stick is covered). The stick is then ed through the boltway into the chamber and turned round several times. This is the only effective method of cleaning the chamber. Cleaning – Before firing – All traces of oil will be removed from the bore and the action wiped with an oily rag. After firing – (i) Removed the bolt. (ii) Pour about 5 to 6 points of boiling water through the bore from breech to muzzle, using a funnel, point inserted into the chamber. (iii) Insert the weight of pullthrough through the bolt hole of body then draw straight through the barrel from breech to muzzle in one continuous motion. The rifle to be held by the left hand with the of the butt on the ground, and the barrel in line with the direction of pull to avoid the cord rubbing the side of the muzzle, otherwise it will cause a groove to be worn where it rubs against muzzle; this is know as “acord-wear” and affects accuracy and serviceability. (iv) To be repeated as in (iii) until the rag is removed without signs of fouling on it. (v) Clean the breech with a stick cleaning chamber. (vi) Wipe over the face of bolt, clean gas escapes and bayonet boss. (vii) If bayonets have been fixed during firing the bayonet will be carefully wiped before it is returned to the scabbard. All metal parts to be carefully wiped over and oiled. (viii) The barrel to be pulled through with a piece of oily flannelette. The bore will be found to require special care during the three days following firing:For buckshot or when necessary to remove bad “leading” or rust(i) To be treated with boiling water as already detailed.

(ii) The pullthrough to have an oiled gauze wire 4” x 1 ½” attached. Insert weight through the boltway of body (care being taken to ensure the gauze enters chamber correctly and does not jam) and draw straight through the barrel from breech to muzzle. (iii) Followed by a piece of dry flannelette and then an oily piece in the usual way. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLEANING OF .303 RIFLES (a) Cleaning Materials – The pullthrough, which will be kept in the butt trap of the rifle, is provided with three loops. The first loop (the one nearest the weight) is for the wire gauze, the second for the second for the flannelette, and the third for the purpose of removing the pullthrough should it break or get jammed in the bore. If a jam occurs no attempt should be made to remove the obstruction, but the rifle should be taken to the armourer. (i) The pullthrough will be drawn through the barrel from breech to muzzle in one continuous motion. (ii) The cord must be drawn straight through and not allowed to rub against the muzzle of the bore, otherwise it will cause a groove to be worn where it rubs this is known as “cordwear” and affects the accuracy of the rifle. (b) Flannelette – No other form of material will be used for cleaning the bore. For cleaning the bore (or for drying if) after firing, a piece of flannelette large enough to fir the bore tightly, 4 inches by 2 inches, will be used. It will be placed in the second loop of the pullthrough and wrapped round the cord. For oiling the bore a slightly smaller piece of flannelette will be used. If the piece used is too big, the scraped off as it enters the bore. The oil should be well rubbed, with the fingers, into the flannelette. (c) Stick Cleaning Chamber, made of wood about a foot long ; at one end a slot is cut, the other end is cut square to allow a grip to be taken and the stick to be turned by hand. A piece of dry flannelette is paced in the slot and wound round the stick (to ensure that the stick is covered. The stick is then ed through the boltway into the chamber and turned round several times. This is the only effective method of cleaning the chamber. (d) Wire Gauze, in pieces 2 ½ inches by 1 ½ inches, is supplied, but should only be used with the permission of an officer for the purpose of removing hard fouling or rust. Daily cleaning – the exterior of the rifle will be cleaned daily and all particles of dirt or dust removed from the gas escapes and crevices. The frictional parts will be kept slightly oiled. The bore will be pulled through with a piece of flannelette until the rag is clean, and immediately re-oiled. Cleaning before firing – All traces of oil will be removed from the bore, and the action wiped with an oily rag. The cartridge and chamber will on no be oiled before firing, nor will any lubricant be used with a view to facilitate extraction, as such a procedure is liable to injure the rifle. Cleaning after firing – (i) Remove all fouling and grease from the bore. (ii) Pour about 5 or 6 points of boiling water through the bore from breech to muzzle, using a funnel. (iii) Thoroughly dry the bore and proceed to clean the rest of the rifle, thus allowing the bore to cool. (iv) The breech will be cleaned with a stick cleaning chamber. (v) Special attention will be paid to the face of the bolt, gas escapes and bayonet boss. (vi) If boyonets it is returned to the scabbard. (vii) All metal parts will be carefully wiped and oiled, after which the barret will be pulled through with a piece of oily flannelette. The bore will be found to require special care during the three days following firing. (viii) On active service, where boiling water is not normally available, the wire gauze will be used. (ix) Care must be used to prevent the browning from being rubbed off the rifle, as this is a great preventive against rust. Cleaning after firing blank – After firing blank ammunition, special care should be taken that the cleaning is through. Although in this case there is no friction between bullet and bore, and so no internal fouling or “sweating”, there is greater accumulation of superficial fouling from blank than ball cartridge, because there is no bullet in blank ammunition to scour the fouling left by the preceding round. The firing also is in most cases more prolonged, and a greater interval must usually elapse before the rifle can be thoroughly cleaned. When blank firing precedes practice with ball, the rifles will be carefully cleaned before ball practice cmmences. General Notes on care of rifle – (a) When the rifle is not in use, the leaf and slide of the back-sight should be lowered. (b) The mainspring should never be allowed to remain compressed except when the rifle is loaded. The position of the cocking-piece shows whether the mainspring is compressed or not. (c) The magazine must not be removed from the rifle except for cleaning or other special purposes and, to avoid weakening the spring, cartridges should only be kept in it when necessary. A failure of the spring to raise the platform can usually be overcome by tapping the bottom of the magazine smartly with the pelm of the hand. If the failure recurs, the rifle should be taken to the armourer for examination and repair. (d) The bolts of rifles are not to be exchanged. Each bolt is carefully fitted to its own rifle, so that the parts which take the shock of the explosion have an even bearing, and the use of wrong bolt may affect the accuracy of the rifle. The number stamped on the back of the bolt lever should agree with that stamped on the right front of the body. (e) No head constable or constable is permitted to take to pieces any portion of the action, except as prescribed for cleaning, nor is he to loosen or tighten any of the screws. APPENDIX NO. 6-17 (A) RULES TO BE OBSERVED FOR THE PROPER CONTROL AND INSPECTION OF MAGAZINE (1) The magazine shall be at all times kept scrupulously clean. (2) A brush or broom shall be kept in the magazine for cleaning out the magazine on each occasion it is opened for the receipt, delivery or inspection of ammunition. (3) No lights (other than an electric torch) not smoking shall on any be allowed inside or in the immediate vicinity of the magazine. (4) Oiled cotton rags and waste and articles liable to spontaneous ignition shall not be taken into the magazine. (5) Empty boxes shall not be kept in the magazine, nor any loose packing material. (6) Boxes of ammunition shall not be thrown down or dragged along the floor, and shall be stacked in wooden trestles. Where there are white-ants, the legs of the trestles should rest in shallow copper, lead or brass bowls containing a little water. (7) If the magazine has a lighting-conductor, it shall be tested at least once a year. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
(8) The person in charge of the magazine shall be responsible that the magazine is well and securely locked. (9) No unauthorized person shall at any time be itted into the magazine. (10) The following shall be hung up in the magazine: (i) A copy of these rules. (ii) The statement required by rule 6-13(4). (iii) A certificate showing the last date of testing of the lighting conductor. (11) The Superintendent of Police shall make at least one unexpected inspection of the Magazine under his charge every half year to see that the above rules are being complied with. APPENDIX NO. 6-17 (B) INSTRUCTION FOR THE EXAMINATION AND TEST AND STORAGE OF S. A. AMMUNITION ON CHARGE OF POLICE UNITS 1. Small arms ammunition may be divided into two categories as follows:(a) Ammunition in sealed boxes and in open boxes with their lables intact. (b) Pouch or loose ammunition which cannot be identified by make and date. Category A – (a) Ammunition in this category may be considered serviceable without test up to five years from date of manufacture provided that the boxes are intact and have not been subjected to bad storage conditions. The five year limit may be extended indefinitely provided that the ammunition has been used for practice and has given satisfactory result within the last twelve months. (b) Ammunition over five years old which has not been used for practice within the last twelve months, or ammunition on boxes which appear to have been subjected to adverse storage conditions as indicated by rusty linings, etc, will be examined and subjected to a firing test. A sample box from each make and date of manufacture will be opened. The cartridges will be examined visually for evidence of verdigris around the cap and other signs of deterioration. Twenty rounds will be fired from each of 2 riles or muskets into a bank of earth or other safe place to test for missfires, hang fires, split cases, pierced caps, bursts, etc. (c) If the ammunition looks good and fires without failure, it is serviceable. If the ammunition looks good and gives a miss-fire, marked hang fire, pierced cap, burst case, split extending to within one inch of the case, or a detached hose disc, a re-test in different weapons will be carried out. If in the re-test, any of the above defects occur, the ammunition is unserviceable. If no defects occur at the re-test, the ammunition is serviceable. If the ammunition looks doubtful, showing slight verdigris only, and if it es firing test, it is serviceable. If any defect occurs at the firing test, it is unserviceable, providing the rifle or musket in known to be above suspicion. If the ammunition looks bad showing marked verdigris around the cap, it is unserviceable. The examination and test of the sample covers the remaining ammunition of the same make and date except when there is reason to believe that the box opened is not representative of the rest. In that case it will be necessary to examine and test the ammunition from each box. NOTE 1 – When the number of boxes of one make and date is tert or under, they may be grouped with adjacent dates of the same make provided that the group of dates does not exceed 50 boxes and that the dates do not cover a period of more tan 14 days. NOTE 2 – The sample will be taken from an opened box if available. If the result is satisfactory the whole group will be sentenced serviceable. If the result is not satisfactory the sentence will only cover the actual box from which the rounds have been taken and a fresh box will be opened and treated as the sample for the group. Category B – Loose rounds on charges, other than those obviously doubtful from handling and carriage in pouches, will generally be treated as one group. Representative samples will be examined and 40 fired and the ammunition sentenced as for Category A. If there is a large number of loose round on charge and some have obviously been subjected to worse treatment than the others they should be liked into groups according to “condition,” each group being tested and sentenced separately. 2. The foregoing is intended to apply particularly to M. h. Rifles and B.L.-476 bore ammunition. 3. Special instructions for examination of B. L. –410”, -303” and –455” revolver ammunition. (a) The instructions in paragraph I apply also to the above mentioned ammunition with the following exceptions. The casualties that may occur are miss-fires, hang fires, pierced caps, blow backs, burst cases or split cases. A blow-back is an escape of gas between the cap and the wall of the cap chamber, if serious, it will be indicated by an escape of gas from the gas escape hole on the left of the barrel body at the moment of firing. The base of the cartridge case will be badly blackened by this casualty. A burst case is a fracture either at the base or within 1 ½ inches of the base of the cartridge case. Fractures further forward on the case body are known as splits and if only occasional may be ignored. Bursts are to be regarded as serious casualties. 4. When in doubt as to sentence, the matter should be referred to the Chief Ordnance Officer at the nearest arsenal who will arrange for such tests as may be necessary and advise accordingly, or in case of further doubt, refer to the inspector of Ammunition, Kirkee. 5. Storage – Boxes containing S. A. A. should be kept raised a few inches from the floor by ing the bottom layer on battens or other suitable s ; they should also be kept a few inches clear of the wall. The store room should be kept clean and dry, ventilation receiving due attention. Tin plate linings should not ordinarily be opened until the ammunitions is required for use or test.

(3) In the case of lower subordinates the pension roll shall be prepared as directed in Article 824, Civil Service Regulations. Such periods of service as have to be verified on other offices shall be verified in good time. (4) Doubtful points shall be checked by the Urdu long roll, order book, punishment and acquittance rolls, and, if necessary, by reference to other offices as required by the Note I to rule 9-2(4). The character roll should then be corrected – (vide Articles 823 and 824, Civil Service Regulations). (5) Whether any discrepancy exists or not, inferior service rendered before enrolment in the police should be verified by reference to the head of the office in which it was performed. If it is impossible to the service in this way the procedure prescribed in Article 908 (e), Civil Service Regulations should be followed. Superior service can be verified by the ant-General, – vide Article 908 (b), Civil Service Regulations, bu if this is not possible, the procedure described above should be followed.

Alteration in age – (1) The date of birth shown in the character roll or corresponding record, can be altered only with the sanction of proof to his satisfaction. If the recorded age does not tally with that certified by an invaliding medical officer, board or committee, and the discrepancy affects the title to pension or liability to superannuation, the matter should be reported and the officer should not be discharged till the orders of the InspectorGeneral have been received. In the case of an officer whose year of birth or year and month of birth only is known, but not the exact date, the 1st July of the year or 16th of the month respectively should be treated as the date of birth for the purpose of calculation of pension, – vide note under article 283 of the Audit code, Volume I. The date of birth of all officers enrolled before the 1st October 1933 may be allowed to remain as already recorded. (2) Further orders as to the condition under which alterations of age may be sanctioned are contained in letter No. 29976 (Home – Gazette) of 4th July’ 1928 from the Chief Secretary to Government of Punjab. According to these orders, an alteration may only be made, after special enquiry, if applied for within two years of the applicant’s entry into Government service. The Provincial Government may, however, make a correction in the recorded age of a government servant at any time, if it is satisfied that age has been incorrectly recorded with the object that the Government servant may derive unfair advantage. 9-8. Classes of pensions – Pensions issible to police officers and menial servants are detailed below. 9-9. Invalid pension – An invalid pension proportionate to the length of service is awarded to a police officer who by bodily or mental infirmity is permanently incapacitated for further service in the police. If the incapacity is directly due to irregular or intemperate habits, no pension can be granted. If it has not been directly caused by such habits, but has been accelerated or aggravated by them, it will be for the authority by whom the pension may be granted to decide what reduction should be made on this – (Articles 441, 454 and 474, Civil Service Regulations). If the length of the invalid’s service is less than then years a gratuity only will be issible (Article 474(a), Civil Service Regulations). Superintendents are retired to be on their guard against endeavors to retire on invalid pension by officers who are capable of serving longer. 9-10. Invaliding rolls – Police officers whose cases fall under the above rule shall be sent to the officer should be invalided he should be asked to fill in an invaliding roll (Form 9 to (b)) on receipt of which steps should be taken to prepare the pension papers without delay. If the incapacity is not declared to be complete and permanent, he should, if possible, be retained in employment on light duty. If a pension is granted the capacity for partially earning a living shall be taken of in assessing its amount.- (vide Articles 427 and 447 (b), Civil Service Regulations). 9-11.
Surgical operations not compulsory – A police officer need not be subjected to a dangerous operation merely to render him fit to perform his
duties. 9-12. Incapacity due to intemperance – Whenever the District Health Officer is of opinion that the incapacity of a proposed invalid is caused wholly or partially, by irregular or intemperate habits, it shall be the duty of the Superintendent, in communication with such District Health Officer to investigate and place on record the medical and police history of such officer. It should be decided whether a police officer’s inefficiency is the result of irregular habits, or whether it is due to one act which, from neglect, may have resulted in ruining his constitution and health. The more fact that a police officer has suffered from syphilis is not sufficient to make him liable to the forfeiture or reduction of pension. Such cases will be decided on consideration of their history as a whole. The record in such cases shall be submitted to the Deputy Inspector – General for orders, with the other documents of the case. 9-13. Invaliding boards – If the pension applied for exceeds Rs.100 a month a certificate by a single medical officer should not be accepted as sufficient. In such a case the applicant shall be produced before the standing medical board or an invaliding committee (vide VIII of Punjab Medical Manual) with the following documents:(i) The invaliding roll signed by the District Health Officer or competent medical officer. (ii) The nominal roll (Form 9-13), the character roll and (iii) the medical history of the officer. 9-14. Retention in service after date of invalidment – Ordinarily a police officer shall not be retained in service after the date of his being certified unfit for service, and, except with the special order of the authority competent to grant the pension, service after that date shall not count for pension (For exception to this rule see Article 456, Civil Service Regulations). When an invaliding roll is signed by more than one medical officer, and on different dates, the date of invaliding shall be taken to be the last of such dates. 9-15. Supernnuation pension – (1) A superintendent pension is granted to an officer in superior service entitled or compelled by rule to retire at a particular age – (Article 458, Civil Service Regulations). (2) A ministerial officer may be required to retire at the age of 55 years, but should ordinarily be retained in service, if he continues efficient up to the age of 60 years. – vide rule 56 (b), Punjab Financial Handbook No. 2, Volume I. In the application of this rule the test of efficiency should be applied with reference to the requirements of the post the ministerial officer is holding. In the case of higher ministerial posts, the duties of which involve responsibility and the supervision of other clerks, the competent authority should not agree to retention in service. (3) Officers other then ministerial, who have attained the age of 55 should ordinarily be required to retire and should not be retained in service except where unquestionable public grounds for retention exist, and there is no doubt as to the physical fitness of the officer. Extensions may not be granted for any period exceeding one year at a time. 9-16. Retention in service of Government servants after the age of 55 years – Under serial No. 23-A of rule 22-4 of the Punjab Financial Handbook No.2, Volume II, Subsidiary Rules, powers are delegated to Heads of Departments to retain a non-gazetted Government servant, other than a ministerial servant, in the service, after the age of 55 years, that any such retention of a Government servant must be on public grounds and that reasons must be recorded in writing. It follows that only in very exceptional circumstances can this power be exercised. The convenience or the financial advantage of the officer to be retained must in no circumstances be taken into consideration. The sole justification for exercising the power delegated, under the rule in question, is the interest of the public service. The question, in fact, is not whether it will benefit an officer to retain him, but whether the interests of the department will suffer if the officer is not retained. Only in very exceptional circumstances will the Inspector-General exercise his power under the rule, which will apply with equal force to all ranks.

3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
(a) Every public officer should exercise the same vigilances in respect to petty contingent expenses as a person of ordinary prudence would exercise in spending his own money. The drawing officer is further responsible for seeing that the rules regarding the preparation of vouchers are observed, that the money is either required for immediate disbursement or has already been paid from the permanent advance, that the expenditure is within the available appropriation and that all steps have been taken with a view to obtain an additional appropriation, if the original appropriation has either been exceeded or is likely to be exceeded, and that in the case of contract contingencies the proposed expenditure does not cause any excess over the contract grant. (Article 91, Civil Code, Volume I.) (b) It is the duty of a counterg officer to see that the charges made in a contingent bill are of obvious necessity, and are at fair and reasonable rates ; that previous sanction for any item requiring it is attached ; that the requisite vouchers are all received and in order, and that the calculations are correct ; and specially that the grants have not been exceeded or are not likely to be exceeded, and that the ant General is informed either by a note on the bill or otherwise of the reason for any excess over the monthly proportion of the appropriation. If expenditure be progressing too rapidly, he should communicate, with the disbursing officer, and insist on its being checked. (Article 92, Civil Code, Volume I.) 10-5. Control and check on progress of expenditure – To facilitate a check on the progress of expenditure by the Deputy Inspector of Police, the inspector General of Police and the ant General, a series of return has been prescribed, for which the necessary “M.B.” forms are obtainable as “universal forms” in the manner prescribed in rule II-43. The procedure detailed in paragraph 14-5 of the Punjab Budget Manual is summarized as follows:--Disbursing officers are required to maintain for all expenditure, s in form B.M. 29. In these s the s classification shall be shown according to the headings of the form, and the allotment under each unit shall be entered in red ink at the top of each column. A small slip Form B.M. 28 (Bill Extract) is required to be attached to each bill (other than pay bills) and is returned with the cash or cheques by the treasury officer. The amount of each bill, with the number of the treasury voucher as shown in the Bill Extract, shall be entered under the appropriate heads in form B.M. 29. At the end of each month the expenditure shall be totaled and the un expended balance under each unit entered in red ink at the head of the ensuing month’s . On the 3rd of each month disbursing officers shall submit to their controlling officer and the Inspector General of Police a copy of their B.M. 29 for the preceding month, with the forms B.M. 28 on original and an abstract in form B.M. 31 in respect of both the general cash and the additional Police . Ac copy of the abstract in B.M. form 31 should be sent to the Deputy Inspector General. Controlling officers are required to follow the above procedure for expenditure incurred directly be them, and also to maintain s in form B.M. 30, in which the returns received form disbursing officers shall be entered to enable them to effect control on the progress of expenditure. They should compare the entries in B.M. 29 s received from disbursing officers with schedules (B.M.28) received from treasury officers which show the payments made by them. The Inspector General of Police is required to consolidate all returns in form B>M.31 and send it, with the original statements from which his return has been complied, to the ant General, so as to reach him by the 20th of the month following that to which the s relate. Discrepancies are then reconciled by the Inspector General and the ant General, and corrections are notified to controlling and disbursing officers. Disbursing officers are also required to submit not later than the 3rd of each month to the controlling officer and the Inspector General of Police a departmental return in form 10-5 showing under each primary and secondary unit the allotment, expenditure incurred during, and the balance available at the end of the preceding month, both for the general cash and the additional Police . This is necessary to enable the latter officers to effect control and watch the progress of expenditure under each primary and secondary unit. The above procedure is additional to the detailed s of contingent expenditure prescribed in Rule 10-110. 10-6. Pages of s to be numbered – The pages of all s all be numbered, and a gazetted officer shall certify on the inside of the cover of each the number of pages which it contains.

In the office of the Inspector General and of each of the range Deputy Inspector General the duties assigned to the ant shall be performed by the clerk appointed for this purpose, under the direct and detailed supervision, in the former office, of the branch head assistant and superintendent and, in the latter office, the head clerk. (2) Every ant shall furnish security which shall be proportionate to the strength of the district establishment and shall be fixed at the rate of Rs. 100 for each hundred men or part of a hundred men (upper and lower subordinates combined). The amount of security to be furnished by the assistant ant will be fixed at the discretion of the Superintendent. Security deposits, whether made in cash or in one of the security forms specified below, shall be covered by a bond or agreement (in Public Works Department forms Buildings and Roads Stereo No. 83 and 84 suitably adapted) setting forth the conditions under which the security is held and may be ultimately refunded or appropriated. If the officer is not able to furnish the amount of cash in a lump sum it may be deducted from his pay in instalments. Or, as an alternative to cash security, he may be permitted, if he so desires, to take out a fidelity policy involving the payment of a small monthly . By such a policy Government can get a much larger security, but the officer concerned loses to the extent of the paid. Security can also be taken in any of the following form:-- (a) Government Securities other than Post Office – 5 years cash certificates. (b) Municipal Debentures and Port Trust Bond.

A statement showing the distribution of his permanent advance allotment made by the Superintendent shall be entered on the first page of the general cash book. (4) All police officers holding allotments from the permanent advance are required to submit for record in the office of the Superintendent the certificate required by rule 10-105 (3). 10-107.

The Police Rules, 1934
securing prompt adjustment by the sheriff must be brought to the notice of the Superintendent. If necessary, to avoid delay, the prosecuting inspector shall meet the bills submitted by police stations from his own permanent advance. (2) For the recovery of departmental expenses defrayed from the permanent advance, application shall be made in writing in form 10-109(2) as often as may be necessary to prevent the advance allotment from becoming exhausted. Such applications shall be ed by vouchers for each item. If a voucher is lost the procedure prescribed in rule 10-36(I) shall be followed. The ant shall check such bills and obtain the orders of the Superintendent for payment or otherwise. The details of such bills will not be recorded in the contingent (rule 10-110) until the payment order has been recorded in the Order Book. The ant will be responsible for preparing abstract contingent bills at sufficiently frequent intervals and taking other steps to ensure the reimbursement of permanent advances as expeditiously as possible. Delays in this matter should be brought to the notice of the superintendent by officers holding advances, and all gazetted officers at inspections should pay particular attention to the manner in which the permanent advance has been handled. 10-110. Contingent – Separate s shall be maintained in Form 10-110 for each class of contingent charges in every officer to which a contingent grant is distributed as follows:-- I – Contract Contingencies. II – C-class (Audited) Contingencies. III – Allowances and Honoraria. IV – Supplies and Service. V – Police Lands Fund. Each shall contain as many columns as there are detailed heads prescribed in the connection for each type of contingent expenditure. Each unit will have its own money column. Units, such as “Rewards to private persons”, which are sub-divided should be linked by a bracket. The amount of the annual allotment grant and the progressive total of expenditure should be entered below the description of the nit. In the case of any item of expenditure which requires explanation on of its unusual nature or amount, particulars should be entered in the column headed “Description of charge”, though the amount is entered only in its special column. The period to which any recurring charges refer should also be noted in the “Description” column. (Article 94, Civil Code, Volume I) To enable the disbursing officer to watch the progress of expenditure under each unit, as compared with the budget grant, progressive balances and totals, as prescribed in the foot-note to the form, shall invariably be entered. Should an increase, decrease, disallowance or misclassification under any unit of expenditure be notified by the controlling or audit officer, the necessary corrections shall be made in red ink by plus or minus entries in the figures of allotment, expenditure and balances. Money drawn from the treasury and not expended by the end of the month (such as refunds of carriage charges by escorts, etc.) should be refunded into the treasury either in cash or by short drawal in the next abstract contingent bill. Such refunds should be deducted from the expenditure total. The amount can be redrawn when required. 10-111. Heads of contingent expenditure – (1) Appendix N. 10-111(1) shows the units into which the contingent grants are divided. The distribution of allotment is published annually in the Police Gazette in May. Bills for pay and other charges duly sanctioned for the month of March and previous months may be paid in anticipation of communication of the budget. Similar expenditure may also be incurred in emergent cases during the months of April and May in anticipation of communication of the budget allotment, provided such expenditure does not exceed the average monthly expenditure of the previous year. Note – This relaxation should not be regarded as a relaxation of the rule contained in paragraph 12-5 of the Punjab Budget Manual under which the Heads of Departments are required to carry out the distribution of the grant not later than the 1st May in each year. (2) No salary charges of any kind (except for pay of hot weather establishment, pay of menials and of establishment of the police lands fund) and no additions to pay may be charged as contingent expenditure or included in contingent bills. (3) All additional police contingent expenditure must directly concern the additional police post for which the provision for contingencies has been sanctioned. Expenditure which may legitimately be incurred under contingencies falls under the following heads:--(i) Buildings – ‘Hutting charges’ include not only the initial provision for buildings but also the expenditure necessary for their maintenance as well as rental charges. Where additional police are accommodated in existing police buildings, a portion of the repairs to such buildings should be debited to the General Police Fund. (ii) Furniture – No article of office equipment for the use of the supervisory gazetted staff should ordinarily be purchased out of the General Police Fund, but officers in direct charge of additional police posts may reasonably be supplied with such equipment. On the termination of a post this may be utilized elsewhere at the discretion of the Superintendent of Police of the district who should bear this in mind when making purchases initially. The same principle applies to the purchase of other equipment such as tables, chairs, benches and durries. (iii) Lighting charges – Provision should invariably be made for the adequate lighting of the building occupied by the additional police. This implies the incurring of initial expenditure on the purchase of lamps and recurring expenditure in the supply of oil for such lamps. (iv) Stationery – Such articles of stationery as are usually supplied by the Stationery Office and are required for use in connection with the post should be locally purchased by the Superintendent of Police (with the previous sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police as required by serial No.20 of the table appended to rule 20-9 of the Book of Financial Powers amended by Punjab Government, Finance Department, Notification No. 24523, dated 26th September 1927) at the expense o the General Police Fund, not from the district allotment for contingencies. A limited amount of stationery may be used in the headquarters office, the work of which is often appreciably increased by the existence of additional police. (v) Traveling Allowance – Expenses incurred in the moving about of men working in additional police posts whether such charges would ordinarily be debitable to “Traveling Allowance” or to “Carriage of Constabulary”, should be met from the General Police Fund, provided that the journeys are definitely connected with the duties of the additional police. (vi) Allowances to Bhishtis and Sweepers – The wages of bhishtis and sweepers entertained for additional police posts should be met from the General Police Fund. They should not be appointed without the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police as required by Serial No.6 of the table appended to rule 20-9 of the Book of Financial Powers. Their pay should be subject to maximum of rs.13 per mensem, plus local compensatory allowance wherever sanctioned. (vii) Rewards – Rewards to the personnel of an additional police post should normally be met form the Additional Police . (4) In no case should expenditure be incurred in excess of the amount sanctioned for contingencies, since there is no means of re-appropriation from some other source. Ordinarily the provision of 10 percent of salaries is ample to meet all demands, but if heavier expenditure is anticipated this fact should be represented when proposals for additional police are submitted to Government. 10-112. Abstract contingent bills – (1) When it is necessary to draw money for contingent expenses from the treasury, the ant will draw a red ink line across the page of the , add up the several columns and post the total of each unit in an abstract contingent bill in one of the following prescribed forms:--(a) For Contract Contingencies {Form 10-112(1)(1)] (b) For Audit Contingencies; Allowances and Honoraria Supplies and Services, and Police Land Funds [Form 10-112(1)(b)] – (Article 97, Civil Code, Volume I) http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

He shall then sign the bill and also the corresponding entry in the cash distribution (rule 10-42). When the Cash Book is checked every month, the officer checking it, or an officer specially detailed for the duty by the checking officer, should check contingent bills in the detail and certify in the contingent s that vouchers for all items of expenditure have been received that the vouchers for items above Rs.25 have been forwarded to the ant-General and that all other vouchers have been so defaced that they cannot be used again. (3) It has been ruled that the head of the office or the gazetted officer to whom the duty has been delegated (rule 10-2) must himself initial the entries in the contingent .

Note – Sub-vouchers for Rs.25 or under which are not submitted to the Audit Officer should be reserved for a period of one year, and those above that limit for 3 years.

Point of commencement and end of journey – The point in any station at which a journey is held to commence or end is the chief public office or such other Point as may be fixed for the purpose by the Provincial Government. (Rule 2-27, T.A. Rules). A list of points thus fixed is given in Appendix D of the same rules. 10-124.

Intermediate class
(1) On any railway which provides no intermediate class accommodation on any of the trains which stop at the stations to and from which the police officer is travelling:-
(1) If there be two clases only on the steamer the lower class:-
(i) Where there are two classes only, lower class; and (ii) Where there are three classes, second class if his pay is not less than Rs.100 and third class if it is less than Rs.100

In some places the revenue cannot be expected to provide for the minimum expenditure, which is necessary to keep the surroundings of police buildings in proper order; in other places revenue from valuable fruit crops and the like may greatly exceed the reasonable needs of expenditure. Superintendents in making their estimates and Deputy Inspectors – General in scrutinising them are required to consider each case carefully on its merits and to ensure that steps are taken to credit to the fund all revenue, which can reasonably be collected from the lands, and that no expenditure is incurred which is not both consonant with the legitimate purposes of the fund and provided for in the allotment of funds. Convincing reasons will be required, however, in every case where estimates of expenditure exceed estimates of revenue. (3) Deputy Inspectors – General shall submit consolidated estimates in Form 10-166 (3) for their ranges to the Inspector – General not later than 25th September, retaining the original district estimates in their own offices.

The Budget – Gazetted officers, head clerks and ants are required to familiarise themselves with the general principles of the system of Government s contained in the Punjab Budget Manual. In order that they may understand the processes by which revenue and expenditure are estimated and demands scrutinised, and to enable them to put forward proposals affecting their own offices in the form necessary to ensure consideration at the proper time, a study of the following portions of the Manual in particular is necessary:--Paragraphs 1-2, 1-4 and 14-1, showing the structure of the estimates and the division of expenditure. Paragraphs 1-10 and 1-11, explaining the chain of scrutiny and the imperative necessary of adherence to prescribed procedure and dates. Paragraphs 1-12 to 1-17, which show the stages through which all proposals involving new expenditure have to , and from which it can readily be understood that the prospect of such proposals being sanctioned without avoidable delay depends mainly upon the care and foresight with which schemes are presented in the first instance by Superintendents of Police. Paragraphs 1-22 which explains the means by which unspent balances (other than the savings in the contract contingent grant) may be made available in the next budget grant, thus making hasty expenditure at the end of a financial year inexcusable. Paragraphs 1-25 which is an explanation of the constitutional reasons for the prohibition of expenditure in excess of budget grants. Chapter 2, read with the relevant portions of Appendix D and paragraph 5-6, describes the method of completing the forms supplied by the Finance Department for the preparation of budget estimates of revenue and expenditure, the nature of the explanatory material which is required in of estimates and the dates and channel of submission. 10-169.

APPENDIX NO. 11-4-A D. O. No. 890-G-37/5814 (H – Gaz) Dated Lahore, the 19th Februay, 1937. Subject:- RELIEF TO BE GIVEN TO DEPUTY COMMISSIONERS AND OTHER ISTRATIVE AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN CLERICAL WORK. My Dear Sir, I am desired to inform you that at the instance of His Excellency the Viceroy, an exhaustive inquiry was recently held into the touring of district officers. The latter were asked to bring to the notice of Government any matters which tended to interfere with their touring. The inquiry has elicited an almost general complain:--(i) that unnecessary references are often made to district officers by the Secretariat or by Heads of Departments asking for information or reports, and (ii) that where necessary references are made, inadequate time is sometimes given to reply them. 2. Proposals which are circulated from the Secretariat for opinion consist of Legislative measures and other references. With regard to the former, there are Standing Orders (paragraph 517 of the Secretariat Instructions) that it is undesirable to add to the pre-occupation of district officers by asking for opinions on questions of which they have little knowledge, or which do not seriously affect their districts, and the attention of all officers in the Secretariat has recently been drawn to these instructions with a view to ensuring that superfluous calls are not made on the time of Deputy Commissioners to divert them from their more important duties. 3. With regard to other reference, the Governor in Council acting with Ministers has been pleased to lay down the following principles for observance in the Secretariat:--(i) No call for information should be made, unless it is necessary for the disposal of a case, and is not available in the Secretariat or office of the Head of Department concerned. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
197/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934 (ii) While Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners should be freely consulted about questions of policy or particular cases affecting their charges, care should be taken to see that references are not made, unless it is clearly desirable to have the views of the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner and, in particular, the pernicious practice should be checked of making references with the object of temporarily getting rid of a case. (iii) Where a reference is necessary, reasonable time should be given for a reply. What is reasonable will depend on the nature of the case. Sometimes it is necessary to have an immediate reply; at others an early reply is necessary. Often a period of two or three months may safely be given. Unless the case is immediate or very urgent, referring authorities should give adequate time for the material necessary for a reply to be collected. (iv) Complaints or applications are often made direct to Government, which relate to matters of a purely local character. Sometimes they are sufficiently important or serious to merit a report to Government by the local authorities. More often they can be left to the latter for disposal. Where this is the case, there are two ways of dealing with them in the Secretariat; the first is to return the complaint or application to the sender for presentation to the proper authority, and the second is to send it in original through the proper channel to the competent authority for disposal. Where the first method is appropriate, it is to be preferred to the second, since it helps to check a tendency which is on the increase. In any case, the primary principle should be observed not to call for reports from local officers on applications and complaints of this kind, unless it is clearly desirable for Government to take up the matter. The practice of sending references from the Secretariat marked “for disposal or report” shoulc cease. The endorsement should make it clear whether the reference is for disposal or for report.
4. The above principles apply equally to Council questions. The great majority of these can be disposed of without reference to local officers. Sometimes when a question consists of several parts, a reference to local officers is necessary only in regard to one or two of these parts. Where a reference is made, it should be stated in regard to which parts information is required. Further, where a question asks for information which will require considerable time and labour for its collection, local officers should not be asked to supply this information, unless the Secretary concerned is satisfied that the information may reasonably be given in spite of the time and labour involved. Where he does not think that this is the case, he should obtain the orders of the Member or Minister concerned before starting inquiries which may later prove unnecessary. When it is decided not to collect information required to answer a Council question, the proper answer is – “It is not in the public interest to collect this information”. 5. In order to secure that the above orders are observed, the following procedure is prescribed:--(i) Except in purely routine matters, no reference to Commissioners or Deputy Commissioners should be made without the approval of a gazetted officer, Important references should receive the approval of the Secretary or the Head of the Department concerned, unless thay are of an immediate nature and the approval of the Secretary or Head of the Department cannot be obtained without delay. (ii) Commissioners of Division should bring to the notice of the Chief Secretary by demi-official letter cases in which unnecessary references are made or inadequate time is given for the disposal of necessary references. The Chief Secretary will submit the reference of the Commissioner to the Member or Minister concerned, who will no doubt wish to satisfy himself that the orders of Government have been observed. 6. The above orders relate primarily to references of Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners. They will also apply mutates mutandis to references by the Secretariat and Heads of Departments to other istrative and executive officers, e.g., in the Irrigation Branch of the Public Works Department hey will apply to references by the Secretariat to Superintending a Executive Engineers; in the Agriculture Department they will apply to references by the office of he Director of Agriculture to Deputy Directors of Agriculture and a Extra Assistant Directors of Agriculture, and so on. 7. IN order that the foregoing instructions are not lost sight of they should be embodied in departmental Manuals. Your Sincerely, F. H. PUCKLE, Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab To – (i) All Heads of Departments in Punjab (ii) The Registrar, High Court of Judicature at Lahore. (iii) All Commissioners of Divisions, Deputy Commissioners and District and Sessions Judges in the Punjab. APPENDIX NO. 11-6 Rubber stamps and punches to be kept in Police Offices.

For example, Chapter 10 might be divided into 10-A – Contingencies and 10-B – Other , whilst Chapters 25-27 might be combined under one subject-head as No, 25 –Crime. 2. When a file can be appropriately entered in the file under more than one head it may be entered under such other heads without being given a serial number and a cross reference may be given in column 4 and 5 to the subject-head under which it has been given a file number. 3. Letters should be ed under the most definite head appropriate to them; for instance a return or correspondence connected with the clothing fund should be ed under “Clothing” (number 4) and not under “s” (number 10). The index to Police Rules will show the chapter heading and, consequently the main file number, to which any subsidiary subject belongs. APPENDIX NO. 11-27 INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING OFFICE PROCEDURE. 1. Urgent receipts shall be submitted to the gazetted officer concerned on the date of their receipt in the office. 2.

In view of the foregoing , we of the opinion that the contentions raised by the respondents in their counter-affidavit that S.P. ( Lines) was competent to enlist a Constable in Police force under P.P.R.12.1 and that he is cometent to remove such an employee after departmental enquiry is not legally tenable. That being so, we are of the opinion that the order of S.P. (Lines), Delhi dated 13.2.1969 Placing the petitioner under suspension, his subsequent order dated 17.5.1974 continuing the petitioner under suspension w.e.f. the earlier order dated 24.3.1975 wherein it was stated that the suspension of the petitioner cannot be said to be wholly unjustified within the meaning of F.R. 54(B)(5) and, therefore he will be entitled to only pay and allowances already drawn by him in the form of subsistence allowance for the period of suspension and the said period will be treated ad ‘not spent on duty’, are all unsustainable in law. Brahma Singh vs. Union of India 1988 (5) S.L.R.260. 2. Compulsory retirement…Adverse remarks. Reverting to the case in hand, the stand of the petitioner in para No. 4 of the writ petition that he was confirmed as Assistant Sub Inspector vide order dated February 28,1983, Annexure P.1 with effect from February 1, 1980, was refuted in the written statement. Annexure P.1 shows that the order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police dated February 28, 1983 and was communicated by Superintendent of Police Karnail whereby Karnail Singh petitioner was confirmed with effect from February 1, 1980. Furthermore, it was Deputy Inspector General of Police who ed the order on April 23, 1983 annexure P.2 allowing retention in service of the petitioner beyond the age of 55 years. The petitioner was brought on list ‘E’ and he was promoted as Sub Inspector on April 1, 1977 as mentioned in para No. of the petition. This fact was not denied in the corresponding para in the written statement. It is not the case of the respondents that the petitioner was promoted as Sub Inspector by the Superintendent of Police. The case of the petitioner is that of promotion to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector. Substantively he was confirmed on the post of Assistant Sub Inspector under order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. Thus, for all intents and purposes the appointing authority of the petitioner to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector was Deputy Inspector General of Police and not the Superintendent of Police. This being a case of promotion and not initial appointment, Superintendent of Police cannot be treated as competent authority under Rule 12.1 of the Police Rules in this case, Kamail Singh of Haryana and others, 1989(2) S.L.R. 345= 1989(2) RSJ 536 3. Order of discharge can only be made by superintendent of Police. The rule as such does not take of any appointing authority, and therefore, could not be dad to be subject to rule 12.1 which provides the authority power to make appointments. Even if the Assistant Superintendent was competent to make appointment to non-gazetted rank even then the discharge order under rule 12.21 could be ed by the Superintendent. It is particularly so because there was no appeal provided against such an order of discharge. Jagjit Singh’s case, AIR 1970 SC 122 has no applicability to the facts of the present case. Therein the rule under consideration was rule 16.1 in chapter 16 which is altogether different from the rule 12.21 in chapter 12. That being so, the other contention of the learned counsel for the respondent need not be gone into. Consequently the appeal fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs. State of Punjab and another vs. Sudershan Rani, 1989(4) S.L.R.305. 4. Promotion--- Qualifying the lower school course – Names entered in List C-1 meant for promotion . Action of the respondent, so far as the transfer of certain constables from other districts to Faridabad district in order to check the uneven increase in vacancies in the cadre of Head Constables and ad hoc promotions of outstanding and meritorious Constables to the rank of Head Constables are concerned may be justified in the exigencies of service, by so far as non-consideration of the claims of the petitioners, who were ittedly senior and fully qualified and eligible for promotion as Head Constable is wholly arbitrary and discriminatory. The respondents were duly bound to consider the petitioners for promotion to the rank of Head Constable when the petitioners were fully eligible according to the statutory rules. If the respondents though that the increase of chances of promotion was uneven in the case of Head Constables in district Faridabad and for that purpose Constables had to be brought from other districts for promotion, there was no necessity of making ad hoc promotions from amongst Constables posted in district Faridabad itself. These ad hoc promotions made in favor of Constables, howsoever outstanding and meritorious they may be, could not be made at the cost of their seniors. If the transfer of Constables from other districts to Faridabad was to be made as considered necessary in the exigencies of service, when while making promotions to the rank of Head Constable, the petitioners should also have been considered for promotion. Otherwise, if the Constables who are qualified and senior in their own district are to be ignored and Constables from other districts are to be brought for promotion, the impugned action will be wholly arbitrary and discriminatory . Jai Kishan and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R.740. 5. Removal – By Superintendent of Police. It is well known that the Assistant inspector General of Police functions on behalf of the Inspector General of Police the said order dated 21.3.1964 is relatable to and has to be read in conjunction with the previous order of the Inspector General of Police dated 21.12.1963 who had directed that a test should be held for promoting Head Constables against existing vacancies. The Assistant Inspector General of Police, was acting only on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, not as Superintendent of Police, since he was only carrying out the orders previously ed by the Inspector General. Whether it was the Deputy Inspector General of Police, as mentioned in the petition who appointed the petitioner, or whether it was even the Inspector General of Police himself who did this, it is clear that the petitioner was promoted by an officer higher in rank than a Superintendent of Police. The mer fact that an Assistant, who merely carried out the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had signed the order pertaining to the petitioner’s promotion as Head Constable cannot make it a promotion made by a Superintendent of Police merely on the ground that the Assistant Inspector General of Police, working as the I.G.’s assistant , is also a Superintendent of Police. He was not making the said promotion in his rank or status or even exercising functions as Superintendent of Police. On of the abovenoted features relating to the petitioner’s promotion it is small wonder that both the petitioner as well as the Police Department experienced difficulty in the matter of making a precise plea concerning it . Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R.683. 12.2. Seniority and probation.-- (1) The seniority of Assistant Superintendents of Police is regulated by the orders ed from time to time by the Secretary of State and the Central Government. No Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police shall be permanently appointed as an Assistant Superintendent of Police until he has ed the prescribed departmental examinations. A Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police who does not qualify by ing these examinations within two years, or at the first examination after two years, from the date of his ing the service, will be removed from Government service; provided that the provincial Government shall have power to relax this rule in special cases, when the Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police is likely to make a good police officer. (2)
The rules governing the probation and seniority of Deputy Superintendents of Police are contained in Appendix 12-1.
(3)
All appointments of enrolled police officers are no probation according to the rules in this chapter applicable to each rank.
Seniority in the case of upper subordinates, will be reckoned in the first instance from date of first appointment, officers promoted from a lower rank being considered senior to persons appointed direct on the same date, and the seniority of officers appointed direct on the same date being reckoned according to age. Seniority shall, however, be finally settled by dates of confirmation, the seniority inter se of several officers confirmed on the same date being that allotted to them on first appointment. Provided that any officer whose promotion or confirmation is delayed by reason of his being on deputation outside his range or district shall, on being promoted or confirmed, regain the seniority which he originally held vis-à-vis any officers promoted or confirmed before him during his deputation. The seniority of lower subordinates shall be reckoned from dates of appointment, subject to the conditions of rule 12-24 and provided that a promoted officer shall rank senior to an officer appointed direct to the same rank on the same date. “Provided that in the case of officers recruited direct after 23rd December, 1958, as a result of the same examination or selection, their inter-seseniority shall be reckoned.

Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. COMMENTS
1. Automatic confirmation. The relevant provision relating to probationary period of promoted officers of the police is contained in rule 13-18 of the Rules which is applicable in the present case. A bare reading of rule 13-8 of the Rules shows that it relates to Inspectors, Sergeants, Sub-Inspectors, and Assistant Sub-Inspectors who are directly appointed, whereas Rules 13-19 lays down the period of probation for officers who have been promoted in rank. The appellant there was appointed purely on a temporary basis and not on probation and, therefore, Rule 12-8 on the assumption that Rule 12-8 applied to the appellant there. It was held that a probationer could not be deemed to be automatically confirmed in the absence of express order of confirmation and the probation is presumed to be extended. However, it was held that in view of the fact that rule 12-8 is differently worded than Rule 1318 the ratio of the decision in Partap Singh’s case was not applicable. I agree with Chadha J. and following the law laid down by the Division Bench of this Court in the above said two cases. I hold that the petitioner is deemed to have been confirmed from 1st January, 1963, as a Head Constable and his seniority in that rank by virtue of Rule 12-2(3) is to be counted from 1st January, 1961, Ram Pat vs. Union of India and other, 1984 (3) S.L.R. 756 2. Maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer. The maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer of the rank of constable is three years, for the Superintendent of Police concerned ahs the power to discharge him within that period. It follows that the power to discharge cannot be exercised under rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years. If therefore it is proposed to deal with an inefficient police officer after the expiry of that period , it is necessary to do so in accordance with the rules of Chapter XVI of the Rules which makes provision for the imposition of various punishments including dismissal from the police force. It is not permissible to ignore those rules and make a simple order of discharge under Rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years for that will attract Article 311 of the Constitution. The Superintendent of Police concerned could not have ignored that requirement of the law and terminated the services of the three respondents after the expiry o the period of three years from their enrolment in the police force of the State. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwarka Das, 1979(1) S.L.R. 299. 3. Reversion to substantive rank of Sub-Inspector. There is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13-12(1) and as a consequence of rule 13-16(2) is that promotions to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on list ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test their mettle in these posts. Gurcharan Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1976 P.L.R. 166. 4. Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. A reading of Rule 12-2 would demonstrate beyond doubt that it is the date of appointment or promotion, as the case may be, which is relevant for the purpose of the purpose of determining seniority and not the date of confirmation. K.S. Tiwana, J. in Gurdial Singh’s case discussed the matter threadbare and held that the seniority of the lower subordinates i.e. Head Constables who are promoted from Constable, shall be determined in accordance with third paragraph of the sub-rule (supra). The language of this sub-rule in clear and umambiguous provides that the seniority of the lower subordinates shall be reckoned from the dates of their appointments. I am in complete agreement with the view expressed by K.S. Tiwana, J. (as he then was) Additionally, it is the itted position that confirmation of head Constables is done district-wise. In a given case depending upon the availability of confirmed posts in a particular district junior persons may score over senior for the simple reason that in that district the vacancies of confirmed employees are in existence whereas in the other district there is bought of such vacancies. This precise matter was dealt with by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Mitra’s case (supra) wherein it was held that when the seniority lists are prepared zone-wise for determining seniority, the date of confirmation would be wholly irrelevant. Mohinder Singh, Head Constable and other vs. The State of Haryana and other, 1991(4) S.L.R. 757 = 1990(1) RSJ 801. 12.3. Direct appointments of inspector and assistant sub-inspector – Except as provided in Rules 12.1 and 12.4, direct appointments shall not be made except in the rank of Inspector Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector. Such appointments in the rank of inspector and assistant sub-inspector may be made up to a maximum of ten per cent anr twenty per cent of vacancies respectively. 12.3 A.

1. Any rule which affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. 2. Entitlement to the privilege as was available. 3. Promotion in the line ministerial and executive staff. 4. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. COMMENTS 1. Any rule affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. – The promotion list of Head Constable (Ministerial) prepared on the basis of the impugned standing Order is not in accordance with law. The Standing Order on the face of it applicable to executive category has been wrongly applied to the ministerial category to which the petitioners belong. During the hearing, the learned consul for the petitioners stated that the petitioners had been confirmed as Head Constable in 1972 and they were appointed a Assistant Sub-Inspector initially on ad hoc basis and thereafter regularised in1979 and that they have been confirmed as such on 5.7.1983. In view of the above, we order and direct that the petitioners should be considered for promotion by strictly applying the criteria contained in P.P Rule 12.3D read with P.P. Rule 13.17. If on such consideration, the petitioners are found suitable for promotion earlier than respondents 5-42, they would be entitled to have their due place in the seniority list. The petitioners have prayed that all the impugned lists as in annexure “A”,”B”,”C”, and “D” are liable to be quashed. In view of what is stated above, the impugned lists are hereby quashed. The respondents should prepare a fresh list of Head Constables ( Ministerial) and lists of officers suitable for promotion in the higher grade by strictly applying the provisions of P.P Rule 12.3D and 13.17 and consider the suitability of the petitioners for appointments for to such grades. The petitioners would also be entitled to all consequential benefits, including the arrears of pay. Banawari Lal and others vs. Union and others, 1988 (5) S.L.R. 306 2. Entitlement to the privilege/right as was available. – The stand of the respondents is that in view of the specific provisions made in the Dehli Police (Appointment & Recruitment) Rules, 1980, the relevant provisions of the Punjab Police Rules stand automatically repealed and are of no consequence. The post of the applicant has been designated as technical and the is accordingly not eligible for promotion to the post of Inspector. According to the provisions any right, privilege, obligation or liability already acquired accrued or incurred before the commencement of these rules shall not be affected. According to our mind the applicant shall continue to remain entitled to the privilege / right, as was available to him under the Punjab Police Rules, in of which he was appointed to the post. From another view point, the rules under which the applicant was appointed cannot be varied to his disadvantage or detriment to his interest. Radihey Shyam vs. Commissioner of Police, 1992(4) S.L.R. 45 3. Promotion in the line of ministerial and executive staff. It is significant to note that the impugned Standing Order refers only to P.P. Rule 138 which applies to the executive staff and not to P.P. Rule 12-3D which applied to the ministerial staff. The P.P. Rule 12-3D does not provide for any test or course for the ministerial staff nor does it provide for Promotion Lists ‘A’, ‘B’,’C’,’D’,’E’, And ‘F’, As regards the ministerial staff, the promotion has to be based solely on the basis of seniority and the assessment contained in the confidential reports as per the provision of P.P. Rule 12-3D read with P.P. Rule 13-17 wchich are categorised as ‘A’,’B’, and ‘C’. In the case of ‘A’ category reports, promotion will be given irrespective of seniority. In the case of category ‘B’ reports promotion will be given in the ordinary course of seniority. In the case of ‘C’ category reports, the officer can be ed over for promotion. Banwari Lal and others vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 306 4. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. The grievance of the petitioners is that their names having been recommended by the Public Service Commission for the posts for which requisition was made by the Director of Public Instruction in July, 1970, they should have been appointed. However, no law or statutory rule has been brought to my notice providing that mere recommendation of the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

name of a candidate by the Public Service Commission clothes him with a legal right to be appointed to the post for which his name is recommended. The Public Service Commission is only an advisory body and recommends the names of the persons to be appointed in response to the requisition made by the Government or its departments. But it is for the State Government or any other appointing authority to make appointments in a accordance therewith or not. If the appointing authority does not make appointments in accordance with those recommendations, the candidate recommended ha no right to come to this court and claim that his legal right ahs been infringed and that a writ of mandamus should be issued to the appoint him. Davinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 249 12-4. Sergeants - appointment of. – Sergeants shall be appointed by Superintendents of Police or the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police, on consideration of the recommendations of a selection board, to fill vacancies occurring in the District of the Punjab, the Railway Police or Delhi Province. Applications for appointment as Sergeant from Europeans and Anglo-Indians who are natural born British subjects shall be addressed in the Inspector-General, who will enter, in a list of accepted candidates to be maintained by him, the particulars of those applicants, whose physique, education and status is suitable. NOTE. – British soldiers transferred to the Army Reserve in India may be appointed on probation as sergeant or Inspector of Police, if otherwise qualified. On confirmation in these posts they will be discharged from the Reserve. The date of confirmation must be communicated to the Officer-incharge.

1. Selection for appointments as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police. Under Rule 12-4 of the Police Rules it was necessary for the authorities to character antecedents of the candidate before his appointment to the Police force. The report of verification obtained by the police department cannot be brushed aside. The extract from the judgment of the criminal Court acquitting the petitioner under Section 307/34, IPC shows that on of discrepancies in the evidence produced, by way of abundant caution giving the benefit of doubt. Narindra Singh petitioner was acquitted. Learning counsel for the petitioners has argued that it was also mentioned in the judgment that in this part of the country, there was tendency to implicate the persons and it should be given weightage and acquital of petitioner should be considered as honourable. This contention cannot e accepted. Apart from this occurrence which resulted registration of case under Section 307, IPC in the year 1979, there was another case ed against the petitioner in 1988. The overall assessment made by the department on the basis of antecedents was that the petitioner should not be appointed. Narindra Singh vs. Punjab and others, 1992(5) S.L.R.255 2. Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. The plea taken by the respondents in highly hypertechnical and the writ petition deserve to be allowed. It is not a concealment of fact regarding his earlier conviction which can be taken into consideration against an employee and on the basis whereof his appointment can be set aside later on. In the present case, petitioner had only been prosecuted and was acquitted by a competent Criminal Court. It was not necessary for the petitioner to disclose this fact to the respondents at the time of his submitting application for recruitment to the police service. In any case, the fact stands that there is nothing against the petitioner on the basis whereof his appointment could be set aside having already been made by order dated 4.9.1989 Annexure P.1. therefore, the non-disclosure of the information relating to his acquittal in the criminal case is no ground for withholding the appointment of the petitioner. Subhash vs. State of Haryana and another, 1990(4) S.L.R. 525 12-5, Applications for direct appointment as Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector. – Applications for direct appointment in the rank of Inspector, Sergeant and Assistant Sub-Inspector will be received and acknowledge as submitted, out on correspondence will be undertaken with applicants, nor will they be told whether they have been accepted as candidates or not.

1. Appointments made without complying with the formal letter of law – Would stand vitiated. Appointment was offered to the selected candidates without prior police verification and medical examination as required by Rule 12-6 of the Rules. It is argued that in this itted situation the appointment of the respondents was bad as being in violation of the rules. While we are of the opinion that it is only appropriate that before appointments are actually made, requirements of medical examination and character verification should be complied with, but it cannot be held as a matter of law that in case the appointments are made without complying rigidly with the formal letter of the law, they would stand vitiated. As already mentioned above, the Government had taken a positive decision and relaxed the rigid compliance with Rule 12-6 in the case of the selected candidates and had issued a direction that the medical examination and police verification could be done after appointment keeping in view exigencies of service. We are of the view that this amounts to substantial compliance with the rules and although the action is to be deprecated, it would not vitiate the selection. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 3. Good Physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical qualifications. Good physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical specifications, whereas the on star physical test has been introduced to evaluate the active habits’ of the applicants. As a matter of fact these supplement the Rules and make their applicability more uniform and practical and leave little to the caprice or whim of the selecting agency. It is significant that the Rules do not talk of a written test as well, but there has been no argument by either side on this aspect. Some arguments were made on the question as to what were the requirements of the one star physical test. The contesting parties and the respondents inter se were at variance on this question. We are of the view that the one star physical test implied the ing of all 5 items as per the ment. We have examined the matter on the basis of the record and find that out of the 19 candidates selected, only 7 ed in all five tests. The entire selection is, therefore, liable to be set aside on this score alone. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and other, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 12.7. Assistant Sub-Inspector’s list of accepted candidates. – (1)A list of accepted candidates for direct appointment to the rank of Assistant SubInspector shall be maintained in the office of each Deputy Inspector-General in form 12.7 (1) and appointments shall be made by selection from this list. Candidates must be limited to residents of the range. No person who is already serving in or has resigned from the police force of another Province shall be accepted as a candidate without the approval of the Inspector-General of Police of that province. (2) The Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, shall maintain a similar list, but may accept candidates residing in the province. 12.8 .

12.11. Restriction on appointment of non-British subject- The appointment to the provincial or subordinate ranks of the police of any person, who is not a British subject, or the subject of any State in India, requires the prior sanction of the Government of India. All such cases shall be reported by the appointing authority through the ordinary channel of correspondence in the prescribed from (obtainable from the Central Police Office), and no such appointment shall be made substantive, until the required sanction has been communicated. 12.12. Supervision of recruitment--. The standard of performance and the reputation of the whole police force depend above all upon the quality of its constables. Standards for recruits are laid down in the rules which follow, but, over and above, these, constant attention and effort to raise the general standard of recruitment are essential. Gazetted officers shall at all times devote special attention to discovering and encouraging men of a thoroughly good stamp to enroll themselves. Efforts shall be made to enroll a proportion of men belonging to communities or classes, whose representation in the force is desirable, but who appear reluctant to offer themselves. The examination and measuring of candidate for enrollment shall invariably be carried out by a gazetted officer, who shall concern himself specially to prevent the victimization of, or the taking of illegal gratification from, candidates by subordinate Government servants concerned in the conduct of their examination. Superintendents shall personally satisfy themselves that the arrangements for the reception of new recruits in the Lines, and for providing them with bedding and warm clothing, whether as a sanctioned Government issue or under a system whereby the cost is recovered later in installments from pay, are adequate, and the recruitment is not discouraged by initial and avoidable hardships. Deputy Inspector-General, in additional to exercising a careful control over recruitment generally, and preventing the enrolment of undesirable types, shall, at their inspections, formal and informal, pay special attention to the observance of this rule.

The Police Rules, 1934 SYNOPSIS
1.
Discharge from service while still under suspension.
2.
Initiation of disciplinary proceedings. COMMENTS
1.
Discharge from service while still under suspension. The Superintendent of Police has to consider and decide to whether or not a constable is likely to prove an efficient police officer. If on a consideration of material in his possession, he forms an opinion that he is not likely to prove an efficient officer, an order of discharge can be ed. However, the order has to be ed on some objective data. In the present case, this does not appear to have been done. The petitioner was accused of having committed an offence. Soon after the registration of the case, he was placed under suspension. He was never reinstated. While he was still under suspension, the petitioner was ordered to be discharged from service. Full salary was not paid to him for the period of suspension. Even otherwise, nothing has been shown from his character-roll or any other record to indicate that there was any adverse report or comments regarding his performance. On the contrary, there is an entry in his character roll which shows that the petitioner had been had been awarded a commendation certificate “in recognition of doing conspicuously good word for the istration of law and maintenance of peace, safety and good order and for conduct displaying exceptional address, acuteness, industry, fidelity for smooth functioning of government work during Independence Day, 1990 Celebrations. “He was also given a cash reward of Rs. 50/-. In this situation, it is apparent that the order of discharge was ed solely on of the allegations made in the above mentioned FIR against him. These allegations do constitute misconduct. However, on the basis thereof, an order of discharge could not have been ed. If these allegations were found to be correct during enquiry, the petitioner could have been dismissed from service. However, the procedure prescribed under the Rules had to be followed.. This was not done. Taking the totally of circumstances into consideration, I am driven to conclude that the petitioner was in fact punished for the alleged misconduct and the order dated April 18, 1991 was not a simple order of discharge. Sunder Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 727 = 1991 (3) RSJ 504.
2.
Initiation of disciplinary proceedings. These is also another aspect of the matter. It is well established that what is material for the purpose of Article 311(1) of the Constitution is who actually appointed the person concerned. What is involved in matters of appointment and removal for the purpose of Article 311 of the Constitution is the status and rank of the employee and the state and rank of the authority taking action vide the Management of Delhi Transport Undertaking vs. BBL Hajelay and another, 1972 SLR 787 SC. In the present case, the petitioner was actually appointed as a Constable by the S.S.P exercising the powers of D.I.G. of Police who, in of rank and status, was higher than that of the Additional Supdt. Of Police. The Additional S.P. who was a lower authority, was, therefore, not competent to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. As has been pointed out in para 12 above, it was only after the issue of the notification dated 18th May, 1968 that the Additional S.P. was empowered to exercise the powers and perform the duties of a District Supdt. of Police. The Commandant of the Delhi Armed Police was empowered to exercise the same powers only by the notification issued by the Lt. Governor on 6th May, 1976. Lakhi Ram vs. Union of India and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 365.

Recruits— of.-- The name of every recruit, together with the other details required by the form, shall be entered in English in the Recruit in Form 12.13 and the form shall be completed as to age and physical fitness by the Civil Surgeon before the recruit is enrolled. No recruit shall be accepted, who, unless he had already had small-pox and shows obvious scars thereof, is not certified by the Civil Surgeon on have been successfully vaccinated or re-vaccinated within the previous twelve months. The Recruit shall be examined and countersigned by the Deputy Inspector-General when visiting the district for purpose of inspection.

The enlistment in the police of Gurkhas of Nepalese nationality is absolutely forbidden. The enlistment of Gurkhas, who can prove British nationality or continuous domicile, is permitted, but only with the formal sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General. Before giving sanction the Deputy Inspector-General sbould verity the nationality of the proposed recruit by a reference to the recruiting Officer for Gurkhas.
4.
Sons and near relatives of persons who have done good service in the Punjab Police or in the Army shall, subject to the consideration imposed by rule 12.12 have preference over the other candidates for police employment. SYNPOSIS

Rules framed under the Police Act of 1861. COMMENTS
1.
Preference in favour of some and near relatives of persons. Rule 12.14(3) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 which authorised the granting of preference in favour of sons and near relatives of persons serving in the police service became unconstitutional on the coming into force of the Constitutions. While it may be permissible to appoint a person who is the son of a police office who dies in service or who is incapacitated while rendering service in the Police Department, a provision which confers a preferential right to appointment on the children or wards or other relatives of the police officers either in service or retired merely because they happen to be the children or wards or other relatives of such police officers would be contrary to Article 16 of the Constitutions. Opportunity to get into public service should be extended to all the citizens equally and should not be confined to any extent to the descendants or relatives of a person already in the service of the State or who has retired from the service. Yogender Pal Singh and other vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 379.
2.
Relaxation of age, qualifications and Physical standard to the wards of ex-policemen It is not the case before me that this provision of public employment is invalid because no one from outside has come to challenge the validity of this provision. In 1975, 1976 and 1977 the Government itself acting under this very provisions granted relaxation. Now they deny relaxation because they say that it can be availed of only by one son of the a Policemen. I find there is no such restriction in sub-rule (3). If the Government itself makes a special provision as it does by making the order dated 3.10.81 in favour of the wards of the Delhi Policemen, there is no good reason why the provisions of sub-rule (3) of rule 12.14 should also not be followed in cases of sons and near relatives of police constables. Jogindar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, l1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
3.
Relaxation of rules—Petitioners despite that relaxation not sent for training of constables. The petitioners will be appointed as constables and will be given the required training subject to fulfilling the requirements of the order dated 3.10.81. Seniority of these petitioners will be reckoned from the date when their colleges were sent for training and were appointed as constables. Future increment and other benefits will be given on that basis. No pay will be given for this period. Pay will be given from the date of their appointment. Jogidnar Pal Singh vs. Union of India and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 252.
4.
Relaxation should be made by the . Under Rule 30 of the Rules any relaxation should be made by the (lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Delhi) and not by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Thus no reliance can be placed on the order of relaxation ed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police on 3.10.1981 and since by the letter dated April 3, 1982 the Delhi istration had imposed an additional condition in respect of the wards of Delhi Policemen/Class IV employees that only son of police personnel/Class IV employee would be considered for grant f such relaxation of the appellants cannot claim that they were entitled to be recruited because ittedly their brothers had already been recruited in the Delhi Police Service on the basis of an earlier order of relaxation. Yogender Pal Singh and other vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.LR. 379.

Rules framed under the Police Act of 1861. The rules framed under the Police Act of 1861 would continue to be in force after the Act came into force in so far as they were consistent with the Act but at the same time Section 147 of the Act authorised the (Lt. Governor of the

Union Territory of Delhi) jto make rules regarding recruitment to and they pay, allowances and all other conditions of service of the of the Delhi Police under Clause (b) of section 5. It is not disputed that rule 12.14 and rule 12.15 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 and the rules promulgated on December 31, 1980 death with identical subject, namely the recruitment of Constables to the Delhi Police Service. Yogender Pal Singh and others vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.LR. 379. 12.15
Recruits-age and physical standards of.—(1) Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age, (For Hry.—Recruits shall not be less than 18 years and not more than 27 years of age - Notification dated 14.3.1984) at the time of enrolment, and shall have a minimum height of 5’-’7 and normal chest measurement of 33” with expansion of 1-1/2 inches. These physical standards shall not be relaxed without the general or special sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General. A general reduction of the standard may be allowed by Depty Inspector General in the case of special castes or classes, which provide desirable recruits, but whose general height does not come up to that prescribed. In \such cases a standard of chest measurement and general physique shall be fixed, which will permit the enlistment of strong and well-proportioned youths of the class in question. The Inspector General may in special circumstance to be recorded in writing relax the upper age limit and the physical standard in the case of recruits. [For Haryana]
Note. 1- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not quality for Pension. Note.2- Upper age limit shall be reliable in case of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Classes and ex-serviceman recruits in accordance with the instructions issued by the State Government in this behalf form time to time. [For Punjab] Not:-- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not qualify for pensions. 2. The greatest care shall be taken to ensure that the age of the every police officer is correctly recorded at the time of his enrolment and appointment. The record then made becomes of the utmost importance when the question arises of an officer’s right to pension, and is accepted as decisive in the absence of full proof both that the original entry was wrong and that the date of birth originally given was due to bonafied mistake. A copy of this rule shall be ed inside the cover of the recruit (form 12.13) and the attention of the Civil Surgeon shall be drawn to it. [For Himachal Prades] In sub-rule (1) of rule 12.15 of the Punjab Police Rules 1934, as applicable to state of Himachal Pradesh, for the existing words and figures “ Recruits shall be not more than 25, or less than 18 years of age” the words and figures “Recruits shall be not more than 22 years ( 27 years for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) or less than 18 years of age” shall be substituted.

1.
Date of birth. Mere fact that School leaving Certificate records different date of birth is of no consequence. Constable Jagir Singh vs. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (1) RSI 609.
2.
Forfeiture of service of birth. Date of birth. Even after the impugned order forfeiting four years service was ed, on the istrative side another order was ed by correcting the service record of the petitioner to incorporate August 10, 1938 ad the date of birth which was given in the education certificate. Subsequently the Commandant ed an order on February, 7, 1980 under the instructions of Deputy Inspector General of Police contained in the letter date January 30, that according to Appendix “B” to Rule 7.3 of the Punjab Financial Rules the recorded date of birth cannot be changed. Thus entry of date of birth as August 10, 1938 was cancelled and the original date of birth August 23, 1943 was substituted. Copy of the order is annexure P/2. The correctness of this letter has not been disputed. This shows that respondents are taking up contradictory stands. By ing the order of punishment the actual date of birth of the petitioner is taken as August 10, 1938 whereas the same is not considered for the purpose of service record as in Annexure P/2. The original given by the petitioner at the time of recruitment. The mere fact that in the School leaving certificate his date of birth is record as August 10, 1938 will be of no consequence. Furthermore, such a date of birth recorded therein. Needless to say such a date of birth was not recorded by the petitioner himself but by somebody who took him to the school for ission. The evidence of such a person who recorded the date of birth of the petitioner at the time of his ission in the school was not recorded in the enquiry conducted against the petitioner. The report of the enquiry officer is solely based on the school certificate produced in the enquiry. Since such evidence cannot be considered sufficient to hold the actual date of birth of the petitioner being August 10, 1938, obviously the petitioner could not be penalized moreso, department for all intents and purposes is taking the date of birth of the petitioner as August 23, 1943, Jagir Singh vs. The InspectorGeneral of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (3) S.L.R 278.
3.
Intermediate School Courses. Petitioners have no right to be deputed to the course as no one from their range who was junior to them, had been deputed for the course then simply because by virtue of the interim orders, they have completed half of the Intermediate Course is no ground to allow them to continue with the course. Ilam Singh and ors. Vs. The State of Haryana and ors. 1992 (1) RSI 57.
4.
Recruitment in violation of Rule—Discharge from service. None of the petitioners fulfils the prescribed standard. Accordingly, they were not eligible to be recruited. As such. I find no infirmity in the action of the respondents. Person who do not fulfil the conditions of eligibility are not entitled to continue on their posts. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners it the position as depicted in Annexure R-1to the written statement and that there is no claim on the behalf that the measurement as depicted in the written statement around no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear them. The purpose of the grant of an opportunity of hearing is only to ascertain the factual position. In case where there is no dispute on facts, no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear the petitioners. It is no doubt correct that normally before ing an order adverse to the interest of a person, he is entitled to be heard to that he can put froth his view point. How ever, such an opportunity is necessary only when a person disputed the facts on the basis of which the action is sought to be taken. In the present case, learned counsel for the petitioners is categorical in his assertion that he does not want even to controvert the factual position as depicted in the written statement. This being the itted position it is clear that no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to re-decided the matter after hearing the petitioners. Ram Dia and other vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992 (5) S.L.R 719.
12.16
Recruits—Medical examination of –(1) Every recruit shall before enrolment, be medically examined and certified physically fit for service by the Civil Surgeon. A certificate, in the prescribed form (10.64) signed by the Civil Surgeon personally, is an essential qualification for enrolment –(vide Fundamental Rule 10).
The examination by the Civil Surgeon will be conducted in accordance with the instruction issued by the medical department and will test the eyesight, speech and hearing of the candidate, his freedom from physical defects, organic or contagious disease, or any other defect or tendency likely to render him unfit, and his age. The candidate must strip for examination, a loin covering being allowed except when the examination is being completed, and any candidate who refused to do so must be rejected. The conditions of police service make it necessary that the medical examination of candidates should be strict. Candidates shall be rejected for any disease or defect which is likely to render them funfit for the full duties of a police officer.

(2). Superintendents are themselves responsible for rejecting candidate whose general standard of physique and intelligence is unsatisfactory; only those candidate should be sent for medical examination whom the Superintendent has accepted a being up to the required standards in these respects. (See Appendix 12.16). 12.17. Recruits-Enrolment of—When a candidate has been ed by Superintendent of and the Civil Surgeon under rules 12.12 to 12.16, orders for his enrolment shall be entered in column 14, of form 12.13, and in the order book. The recruit shall be sent to the Lines Officer who shall personally place him in the charge of the chidril instructor. The latter shall be responsible for explaining to the recruit the disciplinary orders immediately applicable to him, for arranging for the issue to him recruits uniform and equipment, and for allotting him to a squad and showing him his place in barracks. 12.18. Recruits—Verification of character of – (1) The character and suitability for enrolment of every recruit shall be ascertained by a reference to the lambardars of village of ward member of the town of which the recruit is a resident. A search slip shall also be sent to the Finger Print Bureau in order to establish his freedom or oterhwise form conviction. Such lambardars or word member shall, if the recruit is of good character, furnish a certificate to that affect which shall be verified and attested by the Sub-Inspector in charge of the local police station. The Sub-Inspector shall also complete the information required by form 12.18 (1). (2). If they recruit is not a resident of British territory, the Superintendent shall take steps to his character through other serving police officer, whose homes are the same neighborhood, or by such means as may be most suitable under the circumstances. (3). Recruits shall be provisionally enrolled pending the result of the reference. 12.19.
Recruiting arrangement.—(1) When sufficient recruits to fill vacacier in the rank of constable do not present themselves voluntarily at the headquarters of a district, or when other justify such action, police officers proceeding on leave shall be encouraged to enlist recruits at their homes, and selected men may be adapted singly or in parties on recruiting duty. (2). When police officers are required under the provisions of the above sub-rule to bring recruits form another district, they shall be provided with a letter to the Superintendent of such district, requesting him to examine candidates brought before him and to have those are considered suitable for enrolment medically examined. A roll of all candidates ed as fit shall be prepared in form 12.13. by the superintendent who examines them, and they shall be enlisted on the establishment of the district in which they are to serve with effect form the date of their being so ed, and shall be entitled to pay and travelling allowance form that date, provided that they report for duty without delay and by the most direct route. The appointment of candidates enrolled otherwise than under this provision shall in no case be antedated. (3). In case where a police officer has been put to expense on of the feeding and travelling expenses of a candidate brought by him, and provided such candidate is accepted and enrolled, the actual expenses so incurred up to a maximum of Rs. 3, for each recruit, may be paid by the Superintendent from his grant for rewards.
12.20. Recruits-Dates of Enrolment of—Superintendent of Police shall fill up vacancies in the rank of constable as and when suitable men are available. Recruiting parties may be despatched, if any police officer who produces really good recruits should be given some reward in addition to travelling allowance. The dates of enlistment of recruits shall, however, as far as possible, be regulated to ensure that a sufficient number of men are enrolled on the same date to form a training squad to proceed from start to finish of their recruits training according to the prescribed syllabus. 12.21. Discharge of Inefficient.—A constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment.

2.
Certificate of appointment- A constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under R.12.21. if he is to be removed from service procedure prescribed in Ch. XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, aborts that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule12.21 is not justified by the police Rules. Dwaka Dass vs. Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana, IKR (1969) II Punj.324.
3.
Certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22. The certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22 is meant to serve the purpose of section 8 of the Act by vesting a police officer with the powers function s and privileges of a police officer and has to be issued on his appointment as such. The certificate is thus a letter of authority, and enables the police officer concerned to enter upon his duties as a police officer. It has to be granted almost from the inception, when a person is app0ointed and enrolled as police officer, and it is not correct to say that the mere issue of the certificate puts its holder beyond the reach of rule 12.21 even if it is found that he is unlikely to prove an efficient police officer and has not completed the period of three year after his enrolment. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwaka Das, 1979 (1) S.L.R. 299.
4.
Computer authority. Police Force is a special kind of force for which merely ing of examinations and tests is not enough Certain other qualities are required as stated in rule 19.5 of the Police Rules. It was wrong that there are no guide lines indicated in the rule for the exercise of the power by the competent authority under rule 12.21 of the Police Rules. The guide lines are stated in Chapter XIX, particularly rules 19.3 and 19.5. The competent authority exercises the power under rule 12.21 on certain reports and not in an arbitrary manner. It cannot, therefore, be said that the competent authority under rule 12.21. exercises any arbitrary power. Sawaranpuri vs. State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 P.L.R. 771.
5.
Discharge. Original order of discharge (Annexure P-=1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be reviewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same, Shishpal vs. State of Haryana, 1991(2) RSI 379.
6.
Discharge during probation on the basis of unauthorised absence. Without going into the merits of the fact whether the petitioner has absented himself un auhtorisedly or was in fact under medical treatment and what is the evidentiary value of letter like Annexures P-3 and P-4, I am of the view that the impugned order though couched in simple language is in fact by way of punishment as the whole basis is the misconduct of the petitioner of having absented unauthorisedly during the training course. ittedly no enquiry was held prior to ing the order of discharge. Om Parkash vs. state of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 75=1992(1) RSI 13
7.
Discharge from service for being absence from duty for a few hours. We find that no doubt under Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules a Constable who is found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment”, but the order of discharge cannot be based on some minor or trivial stray incident, as the language of the rule is clearly indicative of the intention of the rule makers; that the Constable has to be found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer, which can only be on the basis of opinion formed by the authorities by consistent lapses or misbehaviour on the part of the Constable which should be incompatible with his efficiency. These tests are completely missing in the present case and we are satisfied that the impugned order is wholly arbitrary in as much as mere absence from duty for a fee hours, although even that allegation is disputed by the petitioner, is not sufficient to be the basis of the order of discharge. Dinesh Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 582.
8.
Discharge—No material on record to come to the conclusion that the constable was likely to prove a good Police Officer. There is absolutely no material on the record to prove that the plaintiff was not likely to prove a good police officer for which he could be discharged from service under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is evident from the said rule that the Constable shall be kept under close supervision and reported on at intervals of six months in From 195(1) by the Sub-Inspector or Inspector under whom he is working through his gazetted officer to the Superintendent of Police, No such six-monthly report has been brought on the record on behalf of the defendants. In the circumstances, there is no illegality in the concurrent findings of the two Courts below as to be interfered with in second appeal. Punjab State through Secretary to Government of Punjab Home Department, Chandigarh and anr, v.s Joginder Singh, Ex-Constable, 1989(3) S.L.R. 665.
9.
Discharge of Police Constable. The Deputy Superintendent (n) exercises the powers of the Superintendent of Police of a Civil District. The order of discharge made by Deputy Superintendent of Police, therefore, was within jurisdiction. Sawaran Puri vs. The State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 PlR 771.
10.
Discharge of police constable after the grant of certificate under rule 12.22 whether permissible. No constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 after the grant of the prescribed certificate under rule 12.22 to him is to say that rule 12.21 is non-existent, and can never come into effect. This argument was repelled by the Division Bench in Karan Singh’s case and we are in full agreement with the view taken by this Court. Jai Singh, ExConstable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
11.
Discharge—Reinstatement. Another significant aspect of the matter is that the original order of discharge (Annexure P-1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be viewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9-1991(3) RSI 379.
12.
Discharge – Relieved after more than 3 yeas and 4 months of service. Under provision of P.P.R. 12.21 a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer ma be discharged by the Superintendent of Police at any time within three years of enrolment. But in the instant case the petitioner was enrolled as a Constable in 1984 (6.2.1984) and the competent authority has ed the impugned order relieving him w.e.f. 20.6.1987, i.e., after more than 3 years and 4 months.

Discharge within a period of three years of enrolment. The Appointing authority of the petitioner had considered has record of service on 10.2.1983 and decided to discharge him from service under rule 12.21 of the Rules. So far as the appointing authority is concerned, it exercised its power well within the period of three years communicated to him five days later, i.e. on 15.2.1983 and qua the petitioner it became effective on that date and he is entailed to salary till 15.2.1983. The assertion of the petitioner that he had unblemished record of service has been found to be incorrect. Besides punishment awarded to him at three occasions for lapse on his part in stance of his absence from duty recorded in the office file, which was also placed before the appointing authority. He willfully absented himself from duty for about ten hours from 10.P.M. on 1.12.1982 to 8.30 A.M. on 2.12.1982. he made an excuse that he was not feeling well but his version was disbelieved. In view of the instances of lapse on the part of the petitioner in the performance of his duties mentioned in the written statement as also recorded in the office file which were taken into consideration by the appointing authority while exercising power under the aforesaid rule, no fault can be found with the said order. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order Annexure P.5 is not a speaking order has also no force. It is a simple order of discharge and no reasons in of the same were required to be given. Vinod Kumar vs. State Haryana and another, 1986(3) S.L.R. 311.
14.
Discharge within period of three years under rule 12.21. The petitioner having once undergone a rigorous training and various tests provided by the various sub-rules of rule 12 and sub-rules (2) and (3) of rule 19 there can be no question of his being declared to be not likely to be an efficient police officer. We are unable to find any force in this argument. Rules 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4 are succeeded by rule 19.5 which by way of abundant caution makers it clear that all the provisions contained therein are subject to rule 12.21. the initial training provided for in the various provision of rule 12 is in order to qualify a constable for enrolment. The period of three years during which a constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 is in the nature of a probationary period. The fact that a constable undergoes training and rigorous tests rule 12.21. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.

Natural Justice – Discharge of enrolled constable. It cannot be disputed that he from of the order is not decisive as to whether the order is simple order of discharge under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is always open to the Court before which the order is challenged to go behind the form and ascertain the true character of the order. If the Court holds that the order though in the form is merely a determination of employment is in reality a cloak for an order of punishment, the court would not be debarred, merely because of the form of the order, in giving effect to the rights conferred by law upon the employed. It gives an absolute power to the Superintendent of Police discharge a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer. This rule applies where the constable is found not upto the mark in discharging his official duties. It relates to his functioning as a police constable. If an objective data available, the Superintendent of Police opines within three years of the enrolment of the Constable that he is not likely to prove an efficient police officer, the Constable can be discharged from service under the Rules. If he is accused of misconduct, then he is to be dealt with under Rule 16.24 of the Rules. Rule 16.24. lays down the procedure to be followed in departmental enquiries. If a Police Officer is accused of misconduct, the superior officer may direct an enquiry to be conducted against him unless the allegations are such that it can form the basis of criminal charge, the superior officer shall decide at that stage whether the officer accused of misconduct shall be tried departmentally firs and judicially thereafter.

Police officer cannot be discharged from service on of misconduct of absence from duty. Even though a reference has been made to Police Rule 12.21, yet it has been clearly stated herein that the petitioner had been dismissed from service w.e.f. May 30, 1990. It is also clear from a perusal of the documents on record as also the written statement that the petitioner was accused of being absent from duty. He had been called upon to show cause as to why action be not taken against him. In this situation, it is apparent that the petitioner was not merely discharged from service but had been punished on of the alleged misconduct. Such an order could not have been ed except after the grant of a due and reasonable opportunity of hearing as contemplated under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules and Article 311 of the Constitution.

Power to discharge a recruit. The Police Rules disclose that the constable are appointed under rule 12.12. They are recruited and then their names are entered in the of recruits. Thereafter, their physical fines is ascertained under rule 12.15. They are subjected to medical examination under rule 12.16 and after they have been declared medically fit, they are enrolled in the order book in Form 12.13. Thereafter the recruit is sent to the Lines officer who personally places him in the charge of the Chief Drill Instructor and thereafter his training starts. Rule 12.18 prescribes for the verification of the character of the recruit. rule 12.20 deals with dated of enrolment. Then follows rule 12.21 which confers powers on the Superintendent of Police to discharge a constable. In the context of the Police Rules, it appears that this Rule is meant to finally screen suitable persons who should be appointed to the police force. It is after a period of three years screening that a recruit is entitled to be enrolled as a police constables and then a certificate of appointment is issued to him in the Form 12.22(1) unless within the period of three years, he is discharged from service. There is no rule in the Police Rules providing for confirmation of temporary police constables. It is evident from the scheme of the Police Rules that the power to discharge a recruit, and here I must emphasise that all recruits are temporary hands, is with the Superintendent of Police and has to be exercised by him within a period of three years from the date the constable is brought on the of enrolled recruits. As a matter of fact, under rule 12.18, a recruit can be provisionally enrolled pending, the result of reference as to his character. Therefore, if the intention was that a person should still remain a temporary hand after a certificate to him had been issued under rule 12.22, the framers would have made a similar provision as has been made in rule 12.20 namely that he will still be a provisional hand in the police force. After reading the rules in Chapter XII in their proper context, the result is that a constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. If he is to be removed from service, procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, obvious that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule 12.21 is not justified by the Police Rules and, therefore, must be quashed. We may make it clear that we are not pronouncing upon the fitness of the petitioner to be retained in the police force. That is a matter which the Superintendent of Police or any competent authority in this behalf is entitled to determine. It will be open to them after following the procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI to dispense with the services of the petitioner if they are of the opinion that he is not a suitable person to be retained in the police force. We are only striking down the order because the order could not be ed under Rule 12.21. Shri Dwarka Dass vs. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and other, 1968 S.L.R. 760

Power to discharge at any time within three years. Every service is governed by its own reles. No service rule can be struck down as being ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution merely because it is more vigorous than the corresponding rule for some other service of the State or because its equal cannot be found in any other service. Eualityd of o9pportunity is guaranteed amonst equals. Inasmuch as the rule is the same for all the Constables in the Punjab Police Force the argument of discrimination is wholly fallacious.

Power to discharge. We are fortified in this view of ours by the authoritative pronouncement of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in S.P. Vasudeva vs. State of Haryana and others, AIR 1975 SC 2292. Indeed Mr. Saini concedes that if the constable covered by rule 12.21 can be equated to a probationer, he cannot press this argument. His submission however, is that according to rule 13.18 the constable are not governed by any rule as to probation. There is no doubt that rule 13.18 which refers to probationary period neither has not can have any application to constables, but the provisions of rule 12.21 provide for same kind of probation, and though this is not called a probationary period, it is in fact nothing short of making a special provision of that nature. Article 311 of the constitution has, therefore, no application to this case. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371

Power under –- Can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable. Only point on behalf of the appellant is, that this case was fully covered by the decision of the Division Bench in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid), the ratio of which would be binding on this Bench. In other works, he reiterates point No. 3 conversed by him before the learned Single Judge and maintains that the issue of the certificate under rule 12.22(1) had conferred on the appellant the substantive rank of the constable vesting him with the powers, functions and privileges of a police officer. The argument proceeds that the appellant thus had a right to hold the post and his summary discharge amounts to a punishment, which could not be awarded without complying with the procedure laid down in Article 311, the Police Rules indicate that every person is enrolled in Police Force on a sort of probation for a period of three years and during this period, at any time, the Superintendent of Police can discharge him from service, if it is found that he is “unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer”. This is provided in rule 12.21. A plain reading of rule 12.22(1) and the prescribed form shows that this certificate is issued at the time of enrolment and not as proof by his having satisfactorily completed the three years’ period of ‘probation’. Indeed, in the instant case, this enrolment, viz November 17, 1966. Of course, three are some observations in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid) that such a certificate in the prescribed Form under rule 12.22(1) is to be issued only after the satisfactory completion of the three years’ probation by a recruit and that a Constable who has obtained such a certificate cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. These observations as rightly pointed out by the learned Single Judge, “having to be taken in the context of that case and in my opinion, cannot be applied to the case of a constable who is discharged from service before the expiry of the three years by the Superintendent of Police under the power vested in him by rule 12.21”. The distinguishing feature of Dwarka Das’s case, was the constable’s services were terminated as no longer required after he had satisfactory completed three year’s service from the date of his recruitment. In other works, the power under Rule 12.21 can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable and no thereafter. Since that period of three years had expired, Dwarka Das Could not be validly dischargedunder rule 12.22(1). Karan Singh vs. The State of Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 624

Probationer – Removal from service – Juniors retained – Validity. There is not even a word either on the record or otherwise to show that the enquiry with respect to the alleged misconduct was to find out the suitability to retain in service. It is obvious that the enquiry was with and intention to punish the delinquent plaintiff as well as Jasbir Kaur. In order to find out whether an apparently nocuous order is in substance by way of punishment, one has to look on the facts which preceded and succeeded. In order to do substantial justice, the Court can go behind an ostensibly innocuous order to find out the real nature of the order by removing veil. Undoubtedly, the impugned order by which the plaintiff who was a probationer and, has been removed does affect her reputation as a female member of society as well as her future chances of service. Had an opportunity been given to her, she would have shown that the alleged misconduct attributed to her in no way affected her being an efficient police officer to be retained in police service. At any rate the discharge of the plaintiff from service is totally discriminatory as the alleged misconduct similarly attributed to Jasbir Kaur was no found to be sufficient to hold that she will not prove to be an efficient police officer.

Temporary employee – Discharge of on the ground that he having been found unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer. The impugned order of discharge from service was no made in accordance with Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules. 1934 and in accordance with the and conditions of the letter of appointment but it was made by way of punishment. The Commandant – respondent No.2, vide his dated 29.9.1987 had asked the petitioner to resume duty otherwise departmental action would be taken against him. In the background of these facts and circumstances it is clear that the impugned order of discharge from service was made on the ground of his misconduct i.e. absence from duty and it is penal in nature. In the case of Rajinder Kaur vs. Punjab State and another, 1986(3) SLR 78, replying upon the decisions in the cases of Shamsher Singh and another vs. State of Punjab, 1975(1) SCR 814 and Anoop Jaiswal vs. Government of India and another, 1984(2) SCR 453, the Supreme Court held that the impugned order of discharged though couched in innocuous , was merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. That order was made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words in total contravention of the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution.

dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words the order has been made in total contravention of the provision of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. The impugned order is, therefore, liable to be quashed and set aside. A writ of certiorari be issued on the respondents to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 9.9.1980 of her dismissal from service. A writ in the nature of mandamus and appropriate directions be issued to allow the appellant to be reinstated in the post from which she has been discharged. The appeal is thus allowed with costs.

Termination – put in six years of services as constable and obtained certificate under Rule 12.22. The petitioner having been recruited as a Constable on May 11, 1967, his service could be terminated by the Superintendent of Police under rule 12.21 till May 10, 1970. The Superintendent of Police could not invoke his authority under rule 12.21 of the Rules after the expiry of three years with effect from May 11, 1967. The impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed on July 16, 1973, is violative of Article 311 of the Constitution read with rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is clear that the impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed after expiry of three years of the enrolment of the petitioner as a constable cannot be sustained. The instructions dated December 11, 1963, issued by the deputy Legal Remembrancer and referred to in the written statement of the Superintendent of Police, Hoshiapur, are hardly relevant to the point under consideration. In the first place these instructions do not lay down that the service of a police constable who has put in more than three years can be terminated under rule 12.21 of the Rules by giving him tow months’ notice. And secondly any such instruction, if so issued, shall have to be ignored being illegal. Curdev Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 365. 12.22. Certificate of appointments. – (1) Every enrolled police officer shall be given a certificate of appointment in the form prescribed by the Police Act (Form 12.22 (1)) and shall sign a receipt therefor in his character roll. Such certificate shall be signed by the gazetted officer empowered to make the appointment. (2) Such certificate shall be in abeyance during periods of suspension and shall be surrendered on leaving the service. SYNOPSIS
1. Appointment of the post of DIG. The Additional Supdt. of Police who initiated the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, has not been mentioned under Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861 as one of the authorities competent to do so. The service record of the petitioner also contained entries indicating that the verification of the service of the petitioner from 18.7.1949 to 31.12.1961 was made “ for Senior Supdt. of Police, Delhi”. The service roll of the petitioner indicates that the appointing authority of the petitioner was the Senior Supdt. of Police. Lakhi Ram vs. Union of India and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 365. 12.23. Trackers. – (1) In districts where tracking by indigenous methods is an established custom, professional trackers may be appointed to the police by Superintendents either as constables or head constables according to their qualifications and up to the age of 35 years. (2) The physical standards prescribed in rule 12.15 shall not be obligatory in the case of trackers, but rules 12.16 and 12.18 shall apply to them. Trackers, who prove unsatisfactory in respect of character and skill, may be discharged at any time. Men enlisted as trackers shall not be promoted or transferred for general police duties, unless they are thoroughly qualified for such duties. (3) The number of professional trackers to be enrolled in any district, and the number of such appointments which may be made in the rank of head constable, shall be fixed by the Deputy Inspector-General from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of the criminal situation and the interests of interests of the service. Professional trackers should ordinarily be employed entirely as such and should not be trained in drill, musketry or the general duties of a police officer. Men so enrolled and employed shall be issued with an appointment certificate (rule 12.22), but shall receive only a partial issue of uniform and equipment, comprising warm clothing and such articles of the full kit as are necessary for their duties. (4) When considered advisable one or more trackers may be enlisted in sanctioned additional police appointments. (5) The indigenous system of tracking is based on hereditary lore and custom; and utility of a tracker skilled in that system is, therefore, limited in the main to the area in the neighbourhood of his home, or to areas of similar physical characteristics inhabited by people of similar habits and customs. For these reasons it is useless to import to an area where local trackers are unobtainable a tracker from a distant and dissimilar area. In cases where a professional tracker is both willing to serve away from his home, and is proved by practical tests to be capable of exercising his skill successfully under the conditions in which it is desired to employ him, he may, with the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General, be enrolled. 12.24. Enlistment of ex-soldiers, reservists and ex-police officer. – (1) Re-enrolment in the rank of constable is permitted and past service will count for pension under the following conditions and subject to the further conditions as to pensions contained in rule 9.2 and 9.29:--(a) Ex-soldiers of the Indian Army and ex- of police forces ( including Military Police), paid for from the general revenues of India, may be enlisted as constables on production of a discharge certificate showing their previous service to have been “good” or of higher classification, and if they fulfil the physical and other standards required by these rules for first appointments. They must also be ed medically fit by the same standards as are applied to recruits. (b) Age on the date of re-enrolment in the police must be below 30, but ex-Punjab police officer, and, with the special sanction of the Inspector-General n each case, ex-soldiers and ex- of other police forces may be re-enlisted up to the age of 55, if they present themselves for reenrolment and are found medically fit within two years of [voluntarily taking For Punjab only] their discharge. (c) The break of service between the date of enrolment in the police and the date of discharge from previous army employed shall nto exceed two years, and there must not have been more than tow breaks of service in all. (d) No claim to count previous service for pension shall be allowed unless the previous service claimed was declared and verified at the time of enrolment in the police. (e) Service in body of additional police shall be counted for increments in the case of a constable transferred to the regular force immediately on such transfer. (2) No class A Army reservist or member of Indian Territorial Force may be enrolled in the police until he has resigned his appointment in such force. Cavalry and Infantry reservists of the Indian Army below the age of 30 years may be enrolled, provided that their military service records show good conduct. Such reservists shall not be required to undergo annual military training provided that it is certified that they are trained in drill and fire a musketry course each year. The certificate will be signed by the Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, Punjab, or by the Superintendent of Police of the district in which the reservist is serving. The ordinary police musketry course is sufficient for this purpose, vide Government of India, Home Department letter No. F- 28/11/31 Police, dated the 22nd September, 1931. Reservists of other branches of the Indian Army may also be enlisted in the police, provided that the conditions of their reserve service and periodical training as laid down in paragraph 170 of the Regulations for the Army in India do not interfere with their police duties. The total number of all classes of reservists should not exceed five percent of the sanctioned strength of constables in each district. They should be released from employment immediately mobilization is ordered to enable them to re the colours. (3) Claims to count service for pension shall, when the above conditions are fulfilled, be dealt with as required by rules 9,2, 9.3 and 9.29. In the case of previous military service, the condonation of breaks and ission to count for police pension require the sanction of the local Government. Such claims must therefore be for warded through Deputy Inspectors-General to the Inspector-General for obtaining such sanction.

NOTE.—Regarding amendment by Haryana Govt. No. G.S.R. 44/C.A. 5/1861/Amd. (1)/82 dated 26.3.1982 In the Punjab Police Rules.--(a) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police” occurring not in conjunction with “Superintendent of Police” or “Deputy Inspector General”. The words “Superintendent of Police Railways,” shall be substituted; (b) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police” Wherever occurring in conjunction with the words “Superintendent of Police”, the words “Superintendent of Police, Railways “ shall be substituted; (c) for the words “Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway police” wherever occurring with the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police”, the words “Deputy Inspector General of Police, Railway and Traffic “ shall be substituted. In the said rules, in chapters XII for the words “Deputy Superintendent of Police (istration), Government Railway Police, or Assistant Superintendent Government Railway Police” wherever occurring, the words “Superintendent of Police, Railways” shall be substituted. SYNOPSIS 1. Authority who appointed at the relevant time to be considered the appointing authority. 2. Compulsory retirement – Adverse remarks. 3. Order of discharge can only be made by Superintendent of police. 4. Promotion – Qualifying the lower school course—Names entered in List C-I meant for promotion. 5. Removal—By Superintendent of Police. COMMENTS 1. Authority who appointed at the relevant time to be considered the appointing authority. Counsel for the petitioner has drawn our attention to the decision of the Delhi High Court in the case of the Management of Delhi Transport undertaking. New Delhi vs. B.B.L. Hajelay and another wherein it has been observed that a subordinate authority (1972 SLR 299 Delhi FB). In Krishna Kumar, Divisional Assistant Electrical Engineer and other, 1980 SCC (L&S) 1 at 3, the Supreme Court has observed that “Whether or not an authority is subordinate in rank to another has to be determined with reference to the state of affairs existing on the date of appointment . It is at that point of time that the constitutional guarantee under Article 311(1) becomes available to the person holding, for example, a civil post under the Union Government that he shall not be removed or dismissed by the authority subordinate to that which appoints him. In view of the foregoing , we of the opinion that the contentions raised by the respondents in their counter-affidavit that S.P. ( Lines) was competent to enlist a Constable in Police force under P.P.R.12.1 and that he is cometent to remove such an employee after departmental enquiry is not legally tenable. That being so, we are of the opinion that the order of S.P. (Lines), Delhi dated 13.2.1969 Placing the petitioner under suspension, his subsequent order dated 17.5.1974 continuing the petitioner under suspension w.e.f. the earlier order dated 24.3.1975 wherein it was stated that the suspension of the petitioner cannot be said to be wholly unjustified within the meaning of F.R. 54(B)(5) and, therefore he will be entitled to only pay and allowances already drawn by him in the form of subsistence allowance for the period of suspension and the said period will be treated ad ‘not spent on duty’, are all unsustainable in law. Brahma Singh vs. Union of India 1988 (5) S.L.R.260. 2. Compulsory retirement…Adverse remarks. Reverting to the case in hand, the stand of the petitioner in para No. 4 of the writ petition that he was confirmed as Assistant Sub Inspector vide order dated February 28,1983, Annexure P.1 with effect from February 1, 1980, was refuted in the written statement. Annexure P.1 shows that the order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police dated February 28, 1983 and was communicated by Superintendent of Police Karnail whereby Karnail Singh petitioner was confirmed with effect from February 1, 1980. Furthermore, it was Deputy Inspector General of Police who ed the order on April 23, 1983 annexure P.2 allowing retention in service of the petitioner beyond the age of 55 years. The petitioner was brought on list ‘E’ and he was promoted as Sub Inspector on April 1, 1977 as mentioned in para No. of the petition. This fact was not denied in the corresponding para in the written statement. It is not the case of the respondents that the petitioner was promoted as Sub Inspector by the Superintendent of Police. The case of the petitioner is that of promotion to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector. Substantively he was confirmed on the post of Assistant Sub Inspector under order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. Thus, for all intents and purposes the appointing authority of the petitioner to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector and Sub Inspector was Deputy Inspector General of Police and not the Superintendent of Police. This being a case of promotion and not initial appointment, Superintendent of Police cannot be treated as competent authority under Rule 12.1 of the Police Rules in this case, Kamail Singh of Haryana and others, 1989(2) S.L.R. 345= 1989(2) RSJ 536 3. Order of discharge can only be made by superintendent of Police. The rule as such does not take of any appointing authority, and therefore, could not be dad to be subject to rule 12.1 which provides the authority power to make appointments. Even if the Assistant Superintendent was competent to make appointment to non-gazetted rank even then the discharge order under rule 12.21 could be ed by the Superintendent. It is particularly so because there was no appeal provided against such an order of discharge. Jagjit Singh’s case, AIR 1970 SC 122 has no applicability to the facts of the present case. Therein the rule under consideration was rule 16.1 in chapter 16 which is altogether different from the rule 12.21 in chapter 12. That being so, the other contention of the learned counsel for the respondent need not be gone into. Consequently the appeal fails and is dismissed with no order as to costs. State of Punjab and another vs. Sudershan Rani, 1989(4) S.L.R.305. 4. Promotion--- Qualifying the lower school course – Names entered in List C-1 meant for promotion . Action of the respondent, so far as the transfer of certain constables from other districts to Faridabad district in order to check the uneven increase in vacancies in the cadre of Head Constables and ad hoc promotions of outstanding and meritorious Constables to the rank of Head Constables are concerned may be justified in the exigencies of service, by so far as non-consideration of the claims of the petitioners, who were ittedly senior and fully qualified and eligible for promotion as Head Constable is wholly arbitrary and discriminatory. The respondents were duly bound to consider the petitioners for promotion to the rank of Head Constable when the petitioners were fully eligible according to the statutory rules. If the respondents though that the increase of chances of promotion was uneven in the case of Head Constables in district Faridabad and for that purpose Constables had to be brought from other districts for promotion, there was no necessity of making ad hoc promotions from amongst Constables posted in district Faridabad itself. These ad hoc promotions made in favor of Constables, howsoever outstanding and meritorious they may be, could not be made at the cost of their seniors. If the transfer of Constables from other districts to Faridabad was to be made as considered necessary in the exigencies of service, when while making promotions to the rank of Head Constable, the petitioners should also have been considered for promotion. Otherwise, if the Constables who are qualified and senior in their own district are to be ignored and Constables from other districts are to be brought for promotion, the impugned action will be wholly arbitrary and discriminatory . Jai Kishan and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R.740. 5. Removal – By Superintendent of Police. It is well known that the Assistant inspector General of Police functions on behalf of the Inspector General of Police the said order dated 21.3.1964 is relatable to and has to be read in conjunction with the previous order of the Inspector General of Police dated 21.12.1963 who had directed that a test should be held for promoting Head Constables against existing vacancies. The Assistant Inspector General of Police, was acting only on behalf of the Inspector General of Police, not as Superintendent of Police, since he was only carrying out the orders previously ed by the Inspector General. Whether it was the Deputy Inspector General of Police, as mentioned in the petition who appointed the petitioner, or whether it was even the Inspector General of Police himself who did this, it is clear that the petitioner was promoted by an officer higher in rank than a Superintendent of Police. The mer fact that an Assistant, who merely carried out the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had signed the order pertaining to the petitioner’s promotion as Head Constable cannot make it a promotion made by a Superintendent of Police merely on the ground that the Assistant Inspector General of Police, working as the I.G.’s assistant, is also a Superintendent of Police. He was not making the said promotion in his rank or status or even exercising functions as Superintendent of Police. On of the abovenoted features relating to the petitioner’s promotion it is small wonder that both the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

petitioner as well as the Police Department experienced difficulty in the matter of making a precise plea concerning it. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R.683. 12.2. Seniority and probation.-- (1) The seniority of Assistant Superintendents of Police is regulated by the orders ed from time to time by the Secretary of State and the Central Government. No Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police shall be permanently appointed as an Assistant Superintendent of Police until he has ed the prescribed departmental examinations. A Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police who does not qualify by ing these examinations within two years, or at the first examination after two years, from the date of his ing the service, will be removed from Government service; provided that the provincial Government shall have power to relax this rule in special cases, when the Probationary Assistant Superintendent of Police is likely to make a good police officer. (4)
The rules governing the probation and seniority of Deputy Superintendents of Police are contained in Appendix 12-1.
(5)
All appointments of enrolled police officers are no probation according to the rules in this chapter applicable to each rank.
Seniority in the case of upper subordinates, will be reckoned in the first instance from date of first appointment, officers promoted from a lower rank being considered senior to persons appointed direct on the same date, and the seniority of officers appointed direct on the same date being reckoned according to age. Seniority shall, however, be finally settled by dates of confirmation, the seniority inter se of several officers confirmed on the same date being that allotted to them on first appointment. Provided that any officer whose promotion or confirmation is delayed by reason of his being on deputation outside his range or district shall, on being promoted or confirmed, regain the seniority which he originally held vis-à-vis any officers promoted or confirmed before him during his deputation. The seniority of lower subordinates shall be reckoned from dates of appointment, subject to the conditions of rule 12-24 and provided that a promoted officer shall rank senior to an officer appointed direct to the same rank on the same date. “Provided that in the case of officers recruited direct after 23rd December, 1958, as a result of the same examination or selection, their inter-seseniority shall be reckoned. (e) (f)
by the order of merit fixed by the selection body, and when there is no such order by merit indicated, by the age of the candidate, i.e., the oldest being placed the senior-most and the youngest the junior-most”. SYNOPSIS

5. Automatic confirmation. The relevant provision relating to probationary period of promoted officers of the police is contained in rule 13-18 of the Rules which is applicable in the present case. A bare reading of rule 13-8 of the Rules shows that it relates to Inspectors, Sergeants, Sub-Inspectors, and Assistant Sub-Inspectors who are directly appointed, whereas Rules 13-19 lays down the period of probation for officers who have been promoted in rank. The appellant there was appointed purely on a temporary basis and not on probation and, therefore, Rule 12-8 on the assumption that Rule 12-8 applied to the appellant there. It was held that a probationer could not be deemed to be automatically confirmed in the absence of express order of confirmation and the probation is presumed to be extended. However, it was held that in view of the fact that rule 12-8 is differently worded than Rule 1318 the ratio of the decision in Partap Singh’s case was not applicable. I agree with Chadha J. and following the law laid down by the Division Bench of this Court in the above said two cases. I hold that the petitioner is deemed to have been confirmed from 1st January, 1963, as a Head Constable and his seniority in that rank by virtue of Rule 12-2(3) is to be counted from 1st January, 1961, Ram Pat vs. Union of India and other, 1984 (3) S.L.R. 756 6. Maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer. The maximum period of probation in the case of a police officer of the rank of constable is three years, for the Superintendent of Police concerned ahs the power to discharge him within that period. It follows that the power to discharge cannot be exercised under rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years. If therefore it is proposed to deal with an inefficient police officer after the expiry of that period , it is necessary to do so in accordance with the rules of Chapter XVI of the Rules which makes provision for the imposition of various punishments including dismissal from the police force. It is not permissible to ignore those rules and make a simple order of discharge under Rule 12-21 after the expiry of the period of three years for that will attract Article 311 of the Constitution. The Superintendent of Police concerned could not have ignored that requirement of the law and terminated the services of the three respondents after the expiry o the period of three years from their enrolment in the police force of the State. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwarka Das, 1979(1) S.L.R. 299. 7. Reversion to substantive rank of Sub-Inspector. There is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13-12(1) and as a consequence of rule 13-16(2) is that promotions to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on list ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test their mettle in these posts. Gurcharan Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1976 P.L.R. 166. 8. Seniority whether to be counted from the date of appointment or promotion as the case may be or from the date of confirmation. A reading of Rule 12-2 would demonstrate beyond doubt that it is the date of appointment or promotion, as the case may be, which is relevant for the purpose of the purpose of determining seniority and not the date of confirmation. K.S. Tiwana, J. in Gurdial Singh’s case discussed the matter threadbare and held that the seniority of the lower subordinates i.e. Head Constables who are promoted from Constable, shall be determined in accordance with third paragraph of the sub-rule (supra). The language of this sub-rule in clear and umambiguous provides that the seniority of the lower subordinates shall be reckoned from the dates of their appointments. I am in complete agreement with the view expressed by K.S. Tiwana, J. (as he then was) Additionally, it is the itted position that confirmation of head Constables is done district-wise. In a given case depending upon the availability of confirmed posts in a particular district junior persons may score over senior for the simple reason that in that district the vacancies of confirmed employees are in existence whereas in the other district there is bought of such vacancies. This precise matter was dealt with by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in D.K. Mitra’s case (supra) wherein it was held that when the seniority lists are prepared zone-wise for determining seniority, the date of confirmation would be wholly irrelevant. Mohinder Singh, Head Constable and other vs. The State of Haryana and other, 1991(4) S.L.R. 757 = 1990(1) RSJ 801. 12.3. Direct appointments of inspector and assistant sub-inspector – Except as provided in Rules 12.1 and 12.4, direct appointments shall not be made except in the rank of Inspector Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspector. Such appointments in the rank of inspector and assistant sub-inspector may be made up to a maximum of ten per cent anr twenty per cent of vacancies respectively. 12.3 A. Appointment of Urdu Stenographer – Appointment to the special posts of Urdu stenographer is made in the rank of Assistant SubInspector by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, Punjab. These appointment are governed by the rules contained in Appendix 12.3-A. SYNOPSIS

7. Promotion in the line ministerial and executive staff. 8. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. COMMENTS 5. Any rule affects promotion pertains to conditions of service. – The promotion list of Head Constable (Ministerial) prepared on the basis of the impugned standing Order is not in accordance with law. The Standing Order on the face of it applicable to executive category has been wrongly applied to the ministerial category to which the petitioners belong. During the hearing, the learned consul for the petitioners stated that the petitioners had been confirmed as Head Constable in 1972 and they were appointed a Assistant Sub-Inspector initially on ad hoc basis and thereafter regularised in1979 and that they have been confirmed as such on 5.7.1983. In view of the above, we order and direct that the petitioners should be considered for promotion by strictly applying the criteria contained in P.P Rule 12.3D read with P.P. Rule 13.17. If on such consideration, the petitioners are found suitable for promotion earlier than respondents 5-42, they would be entitled to have their due place in the seniority list. The petitioners have prayed that all the impugned lists as in annexure “A”,”B”,”C”, and “D” are liable to be quashed. In view of what is stated above, the impugned lists are hereby quashed. The respondents should prepare a fresh list of Head Constables ( Ministerial) and lists of officers suitable for promotion in the higher grade by strictly applying the provisions of P.P Rule 12.3D and 13.17 and consider the suitability of the petitioners for appointments for to such grades. The petitioners would also be entitled to all consequential benefits, including the arrears of pay. Banawari Lal and others vs. Union and others, 1988 (5) S.L.R. 306 6. Entitlement to the privilege/right as was available. – The stand of the respondents is that in view of the specific provisions made in the Dehli Police (Appointment & Recruitment) Rules, 1980, the relevant provisions of the Punjab Police Rules stand automatically repealed and are of no consequence. The post of the applicant has been designated as technical and the is accordingly not eligible for promotion to the post of Inspector. According to the provisions any right, privilege, obligation or liability already acquired accrued or incurred before the commencement of these rules shall not be affected. According to our mind the applicant shall continue to remain entitled to the privilege / right, as was available to him under the Punjab Police Rules, in of which he was appointed to the post. From another view point, the rules under which the applicant was appointed cannot be varied to his disadvantage or detriment to his interest. Radihey Shyam vs. Commissioner of Police, 1992(4) S.L.R. 45 7. Promotion in the line of ministerial and executive staff. It is significant to note that the impugned Standing Order refers only to P.P. Rule 13-8 which applies to the executive staff and not to P.P. Rule 12-3D which applied to the ministerial staff. The P.P. Rule 12-3D does not provide for any test or course for the ministerial staff nor does it provide for Promotion Lists ‘A’, ‘B’,’C’,’D’,’E’, And ‘F’, As regards the ministerial staff, the promotion has to be based solely on the basis of seniority and the assessment contained in the confidential reports as per the provision of P.P. Rule 12-3D read with P.P. Rule 13-17 wchich are categorised as ‘A’,’B’, and ‘C’. In the case of ‘A’ category reports, promotion will be given irrespective of seniority. In the case of category ‘B’ reports promotion will be given in the ordinary course of seniority. In the case of ‘C’ category reports, the officer can be ed over for promotion. Banwari Lal and others vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 306 8. Recommendation of names of candidates by Commission gives no right to appointment. The grievance of the petitioners is that their names having been recommended by the Public Service Commission for the posts for which requisition was made by the Director of Public Instruction in July, 1970, they should have been appointed. However, no law or statutory rule has been brought to my notice providing that mere recommendation of the name of a candidate by the Public Service Commission clothes him with a legal right to be appointed to the post for which his name is recommended. The Public Service Commission is only an advisory body and recommends the names of the persons to be appointed in response to the requisition made by the Government or its departments. But it is for the State Government or any other appointing authority to make appointments in a accordance therewith or not. If the appointing authority does not make appointments in accordance with those recommendations, the candidate recommended ha no right to come to this court and claim that his legal right ahs been infringed and that a writ of mandamus should be issued to the appoint him. Davinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 249 12-4. Sergeants - - appointment of. – Sergeants shall be appointed by Superintendents of Police or the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police, on consideration of the recommendations of a selection board, to fill vacancies occurring in the District of the Punjab, the Railway Police or Delhi Province. Applications for appointment as Sergeant from Europeans and Anglo-Indians who are natural born British subjects shall be addressed in the Inspector-General, who will enter, in a list of accepted candidates to be maintained by him, the particulars of those applicants, whose physique, education and status is suitable. NOTE. – British soldiers transferred to the Army Reserve in India may be appointed on probation as sergeant or Inspector of Police, if otherwise qualified. On confirmation in these posts they will be discharged from the Reserve. The date of confirmation must be communicated to the Officer-incharge. Records, of the man concerned in Great Britain, to whom also his certificate of service (A.F.B. – 108) must be sent. British Army reservists serving in the police are not liable to be recalled to the army for any purpose.

Selection for appointment as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police.
4.
Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. COMMENTS
1. Selection for appointments as Assistant Sub-Inspector, Police. Under Rule 12-4 of the Police Rules it was necessary for the authorities to character antecedents of the candidate before his appointment to the Police force. The report of verification obtained by the police department cannot be brushed aside. The extract from the judgment of the criminal Court acquitting the petitioner under Section 307/34, IPC shows that on of discrepancies in the evidence produced, by way of abundant caution giving the benefit of doubt. Narindra Singh petitioner was acquitted. Learning counsel for the petitioners has argued that it was also mentioned in the judgment that in this part of the country, there was tendency to implicate the persons and it should be given weightage and acquital of petitioner should be considered as honourable. This contention cannot e accepted. Apart from this occurrence which resulted registration of case under Section 307, IPC in the year 1979, there was another case ed against the petitioner in 1988. The overall assessment made by the department on the basis of antecedents was that the petitioner should not be appointed. Narindra Singh vs. Punjab and others, 1992(5) S.L.R.255 2. Termination on of concealment of involvement in criminal case in application for recruitment. The plea taken by the respondents in highly hypertechnical and the writ petition deserve to be allowed. It is not a concealment of fact regarding his earlier conviction which can be taken into consideration against an employee and on the basis whereof his appointment can be set aside later on. In the present case, petitioner had only been prosecuted and was acquitted by a competent Criminal Court. It was not necessary for the petitioner to disclose this fact to the respondents at the time of his submitting application for recruitment to the police service. In any case, the fact stands that there is nothing against the petitioner on the basis whereof his appointment could be set aside having already been made by order dated 4.9.1989 Annexure P.1. therefore, the non-disclosure of the information relating to his acquittal in the criminal case is no ground for withholding the appointment of the petitioner.

1. Appointments made without complying with the formal letter of law – Would stand vitiated. Appointment was offered to the selected candidates without prior police verification and medical examination as required by Rule 12-6 of the Rules. It is argued that in this itted situation the appointment of the respondents was bad as being in violation of the rules. While we are of the opinion that it is only appropriate that before appointments are actually made, requirements of medical examination and character verification should be complied with, but it cannot be held as a matter of law that in case the appointments are made without complying rigidly with the formal letter of the law, they would stand vitiated. As already mentioned above, the Government had taken a positive decision and relaxed the rigid compliance with Rule 12-6 in the case of the selected candidates and had issued a direction that the medical examination and police verification could be done after appointment keeping in view exigencies of service. We are of the view that this amounts to substantial compliance with the rules and although the action is to be deprecated, it would not vitiate the selection.

Good physique takes within its ambit the height and other physical specifications, whereas the on star physical test has been introduced to evaluate the active habits’ of the applicants. As a matter of fact these supplement the Rules and make their applicability more uniform and practical and leave little to the caprice or whim of the selecting agency. It is significant that the Rules do not talk of a written test as well, but there has been no argument by either side on this aspect. Some arguments were made on the question as to what were the requirements of the one star physical test. The contesting parties and the respondents inter se were at variance on this question. We are of the view that the one star physical test implied the ing of all 5 items as per the ment. We have examined the matter on the basis of the record and find that out of the 19 candidates selected, only 7 ed in all five tests. The entire selection is, therefore, liable to be set aside on this score alone. Parkash Vir and others vs. State of Haryana and other, 1992(1) S.L.R. 157 12.7.

It has not been contended that the petitioner as a confirmed Head Constable is not entitled to be considered for promotion. The petitioner, who was a confirmed Head Constable with requisite length of service and who had earned consistently good repots, could not be debarred from being deputed for the Intermediate School Course, simply because he did not secure a position of merit, in the unauthorised test which was introduced by the departmental authorities.

Supervision of recruitment--. The standard of performance and the reputation of the whole police force depend above all upon the quality of its constables. Standards for recruits are laid down in the rules which follow, but, over and above, these, constant attention and effort to raise the general standard of recruitment are essential. Gazetted officers shall at all times devote special attention to discovering and encouraging men of a thoroughly good stamp to enroll themselves. Efforts shall be made to enroll a proportion of men belonging to communities or classes, whose representation in the force is desirable, but who appear reluctant to offer themselves. The examination and measuring of candidate for enrollment shall invariably be carried out by a gazetted officer, who shall concern himself specially to prevent the victimization of, or the taking of illegal gratification from, candidates by subordinate Government servants concerned in the conduct of their examination. Superintendents shall personally satisfy themselves that the arrangements for the reception of new recruits in the Lines, and for providing them with bedding and warm clothing, whether as a sanctioned Government issue or under a system whereby the cost is recovered later in installments from pay, are adequate, and the recruitment is not discouraged by initial and avoidable hardships. Deputy Inspector-General, in additional to exercising a careful control over recruitment generally, and preventing the enrolment of undesirable types, shall, at their inspections, formal and informal, pay special attention to the observance of this rule.

Discharge from service while still under suspension. The Superintendent of Police has to consider and decide to whether or not a constable is likely to prove an efficient police officer. If on a consideration of material in his possession, he forms an opinion that he is not likely to prove an efficient officer, an order of discharge can be ed. However, the order has to be ed on some objective data. In the present case, this does not appear to have been done. The petitioner was accused of having committed an offence. Soon after the registration of the case, he was placed under suspension. He was never reinstated. While he was still under suspension, the petitioner was ordered to be discharged from service. Full salary was not paid to him for the period of suspension. Even otherwise, nothing has been shown from his character-roll or any other record to indicate that there was any adverse report or comments regarding his performance. On the contrary, there is an entry in his character roll which shows that the petitioner had been had been awarded a commendation certificate “in recognition of doing conspicuously good word for the istration of law and maintenance of peace, safety and good order and for conduct displaying exceptional address, acuteness, industry, fidelity for smooth functioning of government work during Independence Day, 1990 Celebrations. “He was also given a cash reward of Rs. 50/-. In this situation, it is apparent that the order of discharge was ed solely on of the allegations made in the above mentioned FIR against him. These allegations do constitute misconduct. However, on the basis thereof, an order of discharge could not have been ed. If these allegations were found to be correct during enquiry, the petitioner could have been dismissed from service. However, the procedure prescribed under the Rules had to be followed.. This was not done. Taking the totally of circumstances into consideration, I am driven to conclude that the petitioner was in fact punished for the alleged misconduct and the order dated April 18, 1991 was not a simple order of discharge.

6.
Initiation of disciplinary proceedings. These is also another aspect of the matter. It is well established that what is material for the purpose of Article 311(1) of the Constitution is who actually appointed the person concerned. What is involved in matters of appointment and removal for the purpose of Article 311 of the Constitution is the status and rank of the employee and the state and rank of the authority taking action vide the Management of Delhi Transport Undertaking vs. BBL Hajelay and another, 1972 SLR 787 SC. In the present case, the petitioner was actually appointed as a Constable by the S.S.P exercising the powers of D.I.G. of Police who, in of rank and status, was higher than that of the Additional Supdt. Of Police. The Additional S.P. who was a lower authority, was, therefore, not competent to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. As has been pointed out in para 12 above, it was only after the issue of the notification dated 18th May, 1968 that the Additional S.P. was empowered to exercise the powers and perform the duties of a District Supdt. of Police. The Commandant of the Delhi Armed Police was empowered to exercise the same powers only by the notification issued by the Lt. Governor on 6th May, 1976.

Preference in favour of some and near relatives of persons. Rule 12.14(3) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 which authorised the granting of preference in favour of sons and near relatives of persons serving in the police service became unconstitutional on the coming into force of the Constitutions. While it may be permissible to appoint a person who is the son of a police office who dies in service or who is incapacitated while rendering service in the Police Department, a provision which confers a preferential right to appointment on the children or wards or other relatives of the police officers either in service or retired merely because they happen to be the children or wards or other relatives of such police officers would be contrary to Article 16 of the Constitutions. Opportunity to get into public service should be extended to all the citizens equally and should not be confined to any extent to the descendants or relatives of a person already in the service of the State or who has retired from the service. Yogender Pal Singh and other vs. Union of India and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 379.

Relaxation of age, qualifications and Physical standard to the wards of ex-policemen It is not the case before me that this provision of public employment is invalid because no one from outside has come to challenge the validity of this provision. In 1975, 1976 and 1977 the Government itself acting under this very provisions granted relaxation. Now they deny relaxation because they say that it can be availed of only by one son of the a Policemen. I find there is no such restriction in sub-rule (3). If the Government itself makes a special provision as it does by making the order dated 3.10.81 in favour of the wards of the Delhi Policemen, there is no good reason why the provisions of sub-rule (3) of rule 12.14 should also not be followed in cases of sons and near relatives of police constables.

Relaxation of rules—Petitioners despite that relaxation not sent for training of constables. The petitioners will be appointed as constables and will be given the required training subject to fulfilling the requirements of the order dated 3.10.81. Seniority of these petitioners will be reckoned from the date when their colleges were sent for training and were appointed as constables. Future increment and other benefits will be given on that basis. No pay will be given for this period. Pay will be given from the date of their appointment.

Relaxation should be made by the . Under Rule 30 of the Rules any relaxation should be made by the (lt. Governor of the Union Territory of Delhi) and not by the Deputy Commissioner of Police. Thus no reliance can be placed on the order of relaxation ed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police on 3.10.1981 and since by the letter dated April 3, 1982 the Delhi istration had imposed an additional condition in respect of the wards of Delhi Policemen/Class IV employees that only son of police personnel/Class IV employee would be considered for grant f such relaxation of the appellants cannot claim that they were entitled to be recruited because ittedly their brothers had already been recruited in the Delhi Police Service on the basis of an earlier order of relaxation.

These physical standards shall not be relaxed without the general or special sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General. A general reduction of the standard may be allowed by Depty Inspector General in the case of special castes or classes, which provide desirable recruits, but whose general height does not come up to that prescribed. In \such cases a standard of chest measurement and general physique shall be fixed, which will permit the enlistment of strong and well-proportioned youths of the class in question. The Inspector General may in special circumstance to be recorded in writing relax the upper age limit and the physical standard in the case of recruits. [For Haryana]
Note. 1- A recruit whose age is not less than 17 years may be enrolled, subject to the condition that the service rendered by him before the age of 18 years shall not quality for Pension.

The record then made becomes of the utmost importance when the question arises of an officer’s right to pension, and is accepted as decisive in the absence of full proof both that the original entry was wrong and that the date of birth originally given was due to bonafied mistake. A copy of this rule shall be ed inside the cover of the recruit ( form 12.13) and the attention of the Civil Surgeon shall be drawn to it.

The correctness of this letter has not been disputed. This shows that respondents are taking up contradictory stands. By ing the order of punishment the actual date of birth of the petitioner is taken as August 10, 1938 whereas the same is not considered for the purpose of service record as in Annexure P/2. The original given by the petitioner at the time of recruitment. The mere fact that in the School leaving certificate his date of birth is record as August 10, 1938 will be of no consequence. Furthermore, such a date of birth recorded therein. Needless to say such a date of birth was not recorded by the petitioner himself but by somebody who took him to the school for ission. The evidence of such a person who recorded the date of birth of the petitioner at the time of his ission in the school was not recorded in the enquiry conducted against the petitioner. The report of the enquiry officer is solely based on the school certificate produced in the enquiry. Since such evidence cannot be considered sufficient to hold the actual date of birth of the petitioner being August 10, 1938, obviously the petitioner could not be penalized moreso, department for all intents and purposes is taking the date of birth of the petitioner as August 23, 1943, Jagir Singh vs. The InspectorGeneral of Police, Punjab and others, 1989 (3) S.L.R 278. 23.

Recruitment in violation of Rule—Discharge from service. None of the petitioners fulfils the prescribed standard. Accordingly, they were not eligible to be recruited. As such. I find no infirmity in the action of the respondents. Person who do not fulfil the conditions of eligibility are not entitled to continue on their posts. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioners it the position as depicted in Annexure R-1to the written statement and that there is no claim on the behalf that the measurement as depicted in the written statement around no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear them. The purpose of the grant of an opportunity of hearing is only to ascertain the factual position. In case where there is no dispute on facts, no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to hear the petitioners. It is no doubt correct that normally before ing an order adverse to the interest of a person, he is entitled to be heard to that he can put froth his view point. How ever, such an opportunity is necessary only when a person disputed the facts on the basis of which the action is sought to be taken. In the present case, learned counsel for the petitioners is categorical in his assertion that he does not want even to controvert the factual position as depicted in the written statement. This being the itted position it is clear that no useful purpose would be served by directing the respondents to re-decided the matter after hearing the petitioners.

Recruiting parties may be despatched, if any police officer who produces really good recruits should be given some reward in addition to travelling allowance. The dates of enlistment of recruits shall, however, as far as possible, be regulated to ensure that a sufficient number of men are enrolled on the same date to form a training squad to proceed from start to finish of their recruits training according to the prescribed syllabus. 12.26. Discharge of Inefficient.—A constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment. There shall be no appeal against an order of discharge under this rule. SYNOPSIS 26.

Absence from duty- Apparent that the petitioner was not merely discharged from service but had been punished on of the alleged misconduct. Such an order could not have been ed except after the grant of a due and reasonable opportunity of hearing as contemplated under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules and Article 311. Paramjit Singh vs. State of Haryana, 1991 (2) RSJ 705.
27.
Certificate of appointment- A constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under R.12.21. if he is to be removed from service procedure prescribed in Ch. XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, aborts that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule12.21 is not justified by the police Rules. Dwaka Dass vs. Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana, IKR (1969) II Punj.324.
28.
Certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22. The certificate prescribed under Rule 12.22 is meant to serve the purpose of section 8 of the Act by vesting a police officer with the powers function s and privileges of a police officer and has to be issued on his appointment as such. The certificate is thus a letter of authority, and enables the police officer concerned to enter upon his duties as a police officer. It has to be granted almost from the inception, when a person is app0ointed and enrolled as police officer, and it is not correct to say that the mere issue of the certificate puts its holder beyond the reach of rule 12.21 even if it is found that he is unlikely to prove an efficient police officer and has not completed the period of three year after his enrolment. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and another vs. Dwaka Das, 1979 (1) S.L.R. 299.
29.
Computer authority. Police Force is a special kind of force for which merely ing of examinations and tests is not enough Certain other qualities are required as stated in rule 19.5 of the Police Rules. It was wrong that there are no guide lines indicated in the rule for the exercise of the power by the competent authority under rule 12.21 of the Police Rules. The guide lines are stated in Chapter XIX, particularly rules 19.3 and 19.5. The competent authority exercises the power under rule 12.21 on certain reports and not in an arbitrary manner. It cannot, therefore, be said that the competent authority under rule 12.21. exercises any arbitrary power. Sawaranpuri vs. State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 P.L.R. 771.
30.
Discharge. Original order of discharge (Annexure P-=1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be reviewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same, Shishpal vs. State of Haryana, 1991(2) RSI 379.
31.
Discharge during probation on the basis of unauthorised absence. Without going into the merits of the fact whether the petitioner has absented himself un auhtorisedly or was in fact under medical treatment and what is the evidentiary value of letter like Annexures P-3 and P-4, I am of the view that the impugned order though couched in simple language is in fact by way of punishment as the whole basis is the misconduct of the petitioner of having absented unauthorisedly during the training course. ittedly no enquiry was held prior to ing the order of discharge. Om Parkash vs. state of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 75=1992(1) RSI 13
32.
Discharge from service for being absence from duty for a few hours. We find that no doubt under Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules a Constable who is found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer may be discharged by the Superintendent at any time within three years of enrolment”, but the order of discharge cannot be based on some minor or trivial stray incident, as the language of the rule is clearly indicative of the intention of the rule makers; that the Constable has to be found unlikely to prove and efficient police officer, which can only be on the basis of opinion formed by the authorities by consistent lapses or misbehaviour on the part of the Constable which should be incompatible with his efficiency. These tests are completely missing in the present case and we are satisfied that the impugned order is wholly arbitrary in as much as mere absence from duty for a fee hours, although even that allegation is disputed by the petitioner, is not sufficient to be the basis of the order of discharge. Dinesh Kumar vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) S.L.R. 582.
33.
Discharge—No material on record to come to the conclusion that the constable was likely to prove a good Police Officer. There is absolutely no material on the record to prove that the plaintiff was not likely to prove a good police officer for which he could be discharged from service under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is evident from the said rule that the Constable shall be kept under close supervision and reported on at intervals of six months in From 195(1) by the Sub-Inspector or Inspector under whom he is working through his gazetted officer to the Superintendent of Police, No such six-monthly report has been brought on the record on behalf of the defendants. In the circumstances, there is no illegality in the concurrent findings of the two Courts below as to be interfered with in second appeal. Punjab State through Secretary to Government of Punjab Home Department, Chandigarh and anr, v.s Joginder Singh, Ex-Constable, 1989(3) S.L.R. 665.
34.
Discharge of Police Constable. The Deputy Superintendent (n) exercises the powers of the Superintendent of Police of a Civil District. The order of discharge made by Deputy Superintendent of Police, therefore, was within jurisdiction. Sawaran Puri vs. The State of Haryana, 1970 Cur. L.J. 462=1972 PlR 771.
35.
Discharge of police constable after the grant of certificate under rule 12.22 whether permissible. No constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 after the grant of the prescribed certificate under rule 12.22 to him is to say that rule 12.21 is non-existent, and can never come into effect. This argument was repelled by the Division Bench in Karan Singh’s case and we are in full agreement with the view taken by this Court. Jai Singh, ExConstable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
36.
Discharge—Reinstatement. Another significant aspect of the matter is that the original order of discharge (Annexure P-1) was set aside and the petitioner was reinstated in service from the date of his discharge and that order of reinstatement could not be viewed by the authorities as there is no provision for the same. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9-1991(3) RSI 379.
37.
Discharge – Relieved after more than 3 yeas and 4 months of service. Under provision of P.P.R. 12.21 a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer ma be discharged by the Superintendent of Police at any time within three years of enrolment. But in the instant case the

The Police Rules, 1934
petitioner was enrolled as a Constable in 1984 (6.2.1984) and the competent authority has ed the impugned order relieving him w.e.f. 20.6.1987, i.e., after more than 3 years and 4 months. Shishpal vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(4) S.L.R. 9=1991(3) RSI 379. 38.
Discharge within a period of three years of enrolment. The Appointing authority of the petitioner had considered has record of service on 10.2.1983 and decided to discharge him from service under rule 12.21 of the Rules. So far as the appointing authority is concerned, it exercised its power well within the period of three years communicated to him five days later, i.e. on 15.2.1983 and qua the petitioner it became effective on that date and he is entailed to salary till 15.2.1983. The assertion of the petitioner that he had unblemished record of service has been found to be incorrect. Besides punishment awarded to him at three occasions for lapse on his part in stance of his absence from duty recorded in the office file, which was also placed before the appointing authority. He willfully absented himself from duty for about ten hours from 10.P.M. on 1.12.1982 to 8.30 A.M. on 2.12.1982. he made an excuse that he was not feeling well but his version was disbelieved. In view of the instances of lapse on the part of the petitioner in the performance of his duties mentioned in the written statement as also recorded in the office file which were taken into consideration by the appointing authority while exercising power under the aforesaid rule, no fault can be found with the said order. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the order Annexure P.5 is not a speaking order has also no force. It is a simple order of discharge and no reasons in of the same were required to be given. Vinod Kumar vs. State Haryana and another, 1986(3) S.L.R. 311.
39.
Discharge within period of three years under rule 12.21. The petitioner having once undergone a rigorous training and various tests provided by the various sub-rules of rule 12 and sub-rules (2) and (3) of rule 19 there can be no question of his being declared to be not likely to be an efficient police officer. We are unable to find any force in this argument. Rules 19.2, 19.3 and 19.4 are succeeded by rule 19.5 which by way of abundant caution makers it clear that all the provisions contained therein are subject to rule 12.21. the initial training provided for in the various provision of rule 12 is in order to qualify a constable for enrolment. The period of three years during which a constable can be discharged under rule 12.21 is in the nature of a probationary period. The fact that a constable undergoes training and rigorous tests rule 12.21. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371.
40.
Natural Justice – Discharge of enrolled constable. It cannot be disputed that he from of the order is not decisive as to whether the order is simple order of discharge under Rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is always open to the Court before which the order is challenged to go behind the form and ascertain the true character of the order. If the Court holds that the order though in the form is merely a determination of employment is in reality a cloak for an order of punishment, the court would not be debarred, merely because of the form of the order, in giving effect to the rights conferred by law upon the employed. It gives an absolute power to the Superintendent of Police discharge a constable who is found unlikely to prove an efficient police officer. This rule applies where the constable is found not upto the mark in discharging his official duties. It relates to his functioning as a police constable. If an objective data available, the Superintendent of Police opines within three years of the enrolment of the Constable that he is not likely to prove an efficient police officer, the Constable can be discharged from service under the Rules. If he is accused of misconduct, then he is to be dealt with under Rule 16.24 of the Rules. Rule 16.24. lays down the procedure to be followed in departmental enquiries. If a Police Officer is accused of misconduct, the superior officer may direct an enquiry to be conducted against him unless the allegations are such that it can form the basis of criminal charge, the superior officer shall decide at that stage whether the officer accused of misconduct shall be tried departmentally firs and judicially thereafter. Jagit Singh, Ex-Constable vs. The Director General of Police and another, 1990(6) S.L.R. 700=(1)RSI 654.

Order of discharge. No departmental enquiry held against him. Purpose of impugned order found to be punitive. Jagit Singh vs. Director General of Police and others, 1991(1) RSJ 654
42.
Police officer cannot be discharged from service on of misconduct of absence from duty. Even though a reference has been made to Police Rule 12.21, yet it has been clearly stated herein that the petitioner had been dismissed from service w.e.f. May 30, 1990. It is also clear from a perusal of the documents on record as also the written statement that the petitioner was accused of being absent from duty. He had been called upon to show cause as to why action be not taken against him. In this situation, it is apparent that the petitioner was not merely discharged from service but had been punished on of the alleged misconduct. Such an order could not have been ed except after the grant of a due and reasonable opportunity of hearing as contemplated under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules and Article 311 of the Constitution. Paramjeet Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(6) S.L.R. 313 = 1991(2) RSJ 705
43.
Power to discharge a recruit. The Police Rules disclose that the constable are appointed under rule 12.12. They are recruited and then their names are entered in the of recruits. Thereafter, their physical fines is ascertained under rule 12.15. They are subjected to medical examination under rule 12.16 and after they have been declared medically fit, they are enrolled in the order book in Form 12.13. Thereafter the recruit is sent to the Lines officer who personally places him in the charge of the Chief Drill Instructor and thereafter his training starts. Rule 12.18 prescribes for the verification of the character of the recruit. rule 12.20 deals with dated of enrolment. Then follows rule 12.21 which confers powers on the Superintendent of Police to discharge a constable. In the context of the Police Rules, it appears that this Rule is meant to finally screen suitable persons who should be appointed to the police force. It is after a period of three years screening that a recruit is entitled to be enrolled as a police constables and then a certificate of appointment is issued to him in the Form 12.22(1) unless within the period of three years, he is discharged from service. There is no rule in the Police Rules providing for confirmation of temporary police constables. It is evident from the scheme of the Police Rules that the power to discharge a recruit, and here I must emphasise that all recruits are temporary hands, is with the Superintendent of Police and has to be exercised by him within a period of three years from the date the constable is brought on the of enrolled recruits. As a matter of fact, under rule 12.18, a recruit can be provisionally enrolled pending, the result of reference as to his character. Therefore, if the intention was that a person should still remain a temporary hand after a certificate to him had been issued under rule 12.22, the framers would have made a similar provision as has been made in rule 12.20 namely that he will still be a provisional hand in the police force. After reading the rules in Chapter XII in their proper context, the result is that a constable who has obtained a certificate under rule 12.22 cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. If he is to be removed from service, procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI has to be followed. It is, therefore, obvious that the order of termination of the petitioner under rule 12.21 is not justified by the Police Rules and, therefore, must be quashed. We may make it clear that we are not pronouncing upon the fitness of the petitioner to be retained in the police force. That is a matter which the Superintendent of Police or any competent authority in this behalf is entitled to determine. It will be open to them after following the procedure prescribed in Chapter XVI to dispense with the services of the petitioner if they are of the opinion that he is not a suitable person to be retained in the police force. We are only striking down the order because the order could not be ed under Rule 12.21. Shri Dwarka Dass vs. The Superintendent of Police, Ludhiana and other, 1968 S.L.R. 760
44.
Power to discharge at any time within three years. Every service is governed by its own reles. No service rule can be struck down as being ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution merely because it is more vigorous than the corresponding rule for some other service of the State or because its equal cannot be found in any other service. Eualityd of o9pportunity is guaranteed amonst equals. Inasmuch as the rule is the same for all the Constables in the Punjab Police Force the argument of discrimination is wholly fallacious. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371
45.
Power to discharge. We are fortified in this view of ours by the authoritative pronouncement of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in S.P. Vasudeva vs. State of Haryana and others, AIR 1975 SC 2292. Indeed Mr. Saini concedes that if the constable covered by rule 12.21 can be equated to a probationer, he cannot press this argument. His submission however, is that according to rule 13.18 the constable are not governed by any rule as to probation. There is no doubt that rule 13.18 which refers to probationary period neither has not can have any application to constables, but the provisions of rule 12.21 provide for same kind of probation, and though this is not called a probationary period, it is in fact nothing short of making a special provision of that nature. Article 311 of the constitution has, therefore, no application to this case. Jai Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 371
46.
Power under –- Can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable. Only point on behalf of the appellant is, that this case was fully covered by the decision of the Division Bench in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid), the ratio of which would be binding on this Bench. In other works, he reiterates point No. 3 conversed by him before the learned Single Judge and maintains that the issue of the certificate under rule 12.22(1) had conferred on the appellant the substantive rank of the constable vesting him with the powers, functions and privileges of a police officer. The argument proceeds that the appellant thus had a right to hold the post and his summary discharge amounts to a punishment, which could not be awarded without complying with the procedure laid down in Article 311, the Police Rules indicate that every person is enrolled in Police Force on a sort of probation for a period of three years and during this period, at any time, the Superintendent of Police can discharge him from service, if it is found that he is “unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer”. This is provided in rule 12.21.

The Police Rules, 1934
A plain reading of rule 12.22(1) and the prescribed form shows that this certificate is issued at the time of enrolment and not as proof by his having satisfactorily completed the three years’ period of ‘probation’. Indeed, in the instant case, this enrolment, viz November 17, 1966. Of course, three are some observations in Dwarka Das’s case (ibid) that such a certificate in the prescribed Form under rule 12.22(1) is to be issued only after the satisfactory completion of the three years’ probation by a recruit and that a Constable who has obtained such a certificate cannot be dealt with under rule 12.21. These observations as rightly pointed out by the learned Single Judge, “having to be taken in the context of that case and in my opinion, cannot be applied to the case of a constable who is discharged from service before the expiry of the three years by the Superintendent of Police under the power vested in him by rule 12.21”. The distinguishing feature of Dwarka Das’s case, was the constable’s services were terminated as no longer required after he had satisfactory completed three year’s service from the date of his recruitment. In other works, the power under Rule 12.21 can be exercised only within three years of the enrolment of Constable and no thereafter. Since that period of three years had expired, Dwarka Das Could not be validly dischargedunder rule 12.22(1). Karan Singh vs. The State of Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 624 47.
Probationer – Removal from service – Juniors retained – Validity. There is not even a word either on the record or otherwise to show that the enquiry with respect to the alleged misconduct was to find out the suitability to retain in service. It is obvious that the enquiry was with and intention to punish the delinquent plaintiff as well as Jasbir Kaur. In order to find out whether an apparently nocuous order is in substance by way of punishment, one has to look on the facts which preceded and succeeded. In order to do substantial justice, the Court can go behind an ostensibly innocuous order to find out the real nature of the order by removing veil. Undoubtedly, the impugned order by which the plaintiff who was a probationer and, has been removed does affect her reputation as a female member of society as well as her future chances of service. Had an opportunity been given to her, she would have shown that the alleged misconduct attributed to her in no way affected her being an efficient police officer to be retained in police service. At any rate the discharge of the plaintiff from service is totally discriminatory as the alleged misconduct similarly attributed to Jasbir Kaur was no found to be sufficient to hold that she will not prove to be an efficient police officer. Punjab State and another vs. Smt. Kamlesh Kumari, 1988(1) S.L.R. 614
48.
Temporary employee – Discharge of on the ground that he having been found unlikely to prove an efficient Police Officer. The impugned order of discharge from service was no made in accordance with Rule 12.21 of the Punjab Police Rules. 1934 and in accordance with the and conditions of the letter of appointment but it was made by way of punishment. The Commandant – respondent No.2, vide his dated 29.9.1987 had asked the petitioner to resume duty otherwise departmental action would be taken against him. In the background of these facts and circumstances it is clear that the impugned order of discharge from service was made on the ground of his misconduct i.e. absence from duty and it is penal in nature. In the case of Rajinder Kaur vs. Punjab State and another, 1986(3) SLR 78, replying upon the decisions in the cases of Shamsher Singh and another vs. State of Punjab, 1975(1) SCR 814 and Anoop Jaiswal vs. Government of India and another, 1984(2) SCR 453, the Supreme Court held that the impugned order of discharged though couched in innocuous , was merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. That order was made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words in total contravention of the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. Rajender Singh vs. State of Haryana and another, 1989(2) S.L.R. 79 = 1991(1) RSJ 761
49.
Termination of services of temporary lady constable. The impugned order of discharge though couched in innocuous , is merely a camouflage for an order of dismissal from service on the ground of misconduct. This order has been made without serving the appellant any charge-sheet, without asking for any explanation from her and without giving any opportunity to show cause against the purported order of dismissal from service and without giving any opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses examined, that is, in other words the order has been made in total contravention of the provision of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. The impugned order is, therefore, liable to be quashed and set aside. A writ of certiorari be issued on the respondents to quash and set aside the impugned order dated 9.9.1980 of her dismissal from service. A writ in the nature of mandamus and appropriate directions be issued to allow the appellant to be reinstated in the post from which she has been discharged. The appeal is thus allowed with costs. The authorities concerned will pay all her emoluments to which she is entitled to in accordance with the extent rules as early as possible in any case not later than eight weeks from the date of this judgment. Rajindar Kaur vs. Punjab State and anr. 1986(3) S.L.R. 13.

Termination – put in six years of services as constable and obtained certificate under Rule 12.22. The petitioner having been recruited as a Constable on May 11, 1967, his service could be terminated by the Superintendent of Police under rule 12.21 till May 10, 1970. The Superintendent of Police could not invoke his authority under rule 12.21 of the Rules after the expiry of three years with effect from May 11, 1967. The impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed on July 16, 1973, is violative of Article 311 of the Constitution read with rule 12.21 of the Rules. It is clear that the impugned order Annexure P.1 having been ed after expiry of three years of the enrolment of the petitioner as a constable cannot be sustained. The instructions dated December 11, 1963, issued by the deputy Legal Remembrancer and referred to in the written statement of the Superintendent of Police, Hoshiapur, are hardly relevant to the point under consideration. In the first place these instructions do not lay down that the service of a police constable who has put in more than three years can be terminated under rule 12.21 of the Rules by giving him tow months’ notice. And secondly any such instruction, if so issued, shall have to be ignored being illegal. Curdev Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 365. 12.22. Certificate of appointments. – (1) Every enrolled police officer shall be given a certificate of appointment in the form prescribed by the Police Act (Form 12.22 (1)) and shall sign a receipt therefor in his character roll. Such certificate shall be signed by the gazetted officer empowered to make the appointment. (2) Such certificate shall be in abeyance during periods of suspension and shall be surrendered on leaving the service. SYNOPSIS
1. Appointment of the post of DIG. The Additional Supdt. of Police who initiated the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner, has not been mentioned under Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861 as one of the authorities competent to do so. The service record of the petitioner also contained entries indicating that the verification of the service of the petitioner from 18.7.1949 to 31.12.1961 was made “ for Senior Supdt. of Police, Delhi”. The service roll of the petitioner indicates that the appointing authority of the petitioner was the Senior Supdt. of Police. Lakhi Ram vs. Union of India and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 365. 12.23. Trackers. – (1) In districts where tracking by indigenous methods is an established custom, professional trackers may be appointed to the police by Superintendents either as constables or head constables according to their qualifications and up to the age of 35 years. (2) The physical standards prescribed in rule 12.15 shall not be obligatory in the case of trackers, but rules 12.16 and 12.18 shall apply to them. Trackers, who prove unsatisfactory in respect of character and skill, may be discharged at any time. Men enlisted as trackers shall not be promoted or transferred for general police duties, unless they are thoroughly qualified for such duties. (3) The number of professional trackers to be enrolled in any district, and the number of such appointments which may be made in the rank of head constable, shall be fixed by the Deputy Inspector-General from time to time, in accordance with the requirements of the criminal situation and the interests of interests of the service. Professional trackers should ordinarily be employed entirely as such and should not be trained in drill, musketry or the general duties of a police officer. Men so enrolled and employed shall be issued with an appointment certificate (rule 12.22), but shall receive only a partial issue of uniform and equipment, comprising warm clothing and such articles of the full kit as are necessary for their duties. (4) When considered advisable one or more trackers may be enlisted in sanctioned additional police appointments. (5) The indigenous system of tracking is based on hereditary lore and custom; and utility of a tracker skilled in that system is, therefore, limited in the main to the area in the neighbourhood of his home, or to areas of similar physical characteristics inhabited by people of similar habits and customs. For these reasons it is useless to import to an area where local trackers are unobtainable a tracker from a distant and dissimilar area. In cases where a professional tracker is both willing to serve away from his home, and is proved by practical tests to be capable of exercising his skill successfully under the conditions in which it is desired to employ him, he may, with the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General, be enrolled. 12.24. Enlistment of ex-soldiers, reservists and ex-police officer. – (1) Re-enrolment in the rank of constable is permitted and past service will count for pension under the following conditions and subject to the further conditions as to pensions contained in rule 9.2 and 9.29:(f) Ex-soldiers of the Indian Army and ex- of police forces ( including Military Police), paid for from the general revenues of India, may be enlisted as constables on production of a discharge certificate showing their previous service to have been “good” or of higher classification, http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

CHAPTER XIII – PROMOTIONS 13.1. Promotion from one rank to another. –(1) Promotion from one rank to another, and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made b selection tempered by seniority. Efficiency and honesty shall be the main factors governing selection. Specific qualifications, whether in the nature of training courses ed or practical experience, shall be carefully considered in each case. When the qualifications of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. This rule does not affect increments within a time-scale. (2) Under the present constitution of the police force no lower subordinate will ordinarily be entrusted with the independent conduct of investigations or the independent charge of a police station or similar unit. It is necessary, therefore, that well-educated constables, having the attributes necessary for bearing the responsibilities of upper subordinate rank, should receive accelerated promotion so as to reach that rank as soon as they have ed the courses prescribed for, and been tested and given practical training in, the ranks of constable and head constable. (3) For the purposes of regulating promotion amongst enrolled police officers six promotion lists – A, B, C, D, E and F will be maintained. List A, B, C and D shall be maintained in each district as prescribed in rules 13.6, 13.7, 13.8 and 13.9 and will regulate promotion to the selection grade of constable and to the ranks of head constables and Assistant Sub-Inspector. List E shall be maintained in the office of Deputy Inspectors-General as prescribed in sub-rule 13.10(1) and will regulate promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector. List F shall be maintained in the office of the Inspector-General as prescribed in sub-rule 13.15(1) and will regulate promotion to the rank of Inspector. Entry in or removal from A, B, C, D or E lists shall be recorded in the order book and in the character roll of the police officer concerned. These lists are nominal rolls of those officers whose ission to them has been authorized. No actual selection shall be made without careful examination of character rolls. (Proviso for Punjab added vide Notification No. G.S.R. 86 dated 19.10.1972) “Provided that five percent for such promotions may be made from amongst the of the Police Force, who achieve outstanding distinction in sports field at All India level or International level if they are otherwise eligible for promotion but for seniority.” SYNOPSIS 1.

Rules are statutory in character. 20. Seniority on the basis of dates of confirmation maintained at District level. 21. Substantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent poe. COMMENTS 1.
Automatic confirmation—Appointment against permanent post. It is obvious that the maximum period of probationis two years. During this period either a person is found fit for confirmation for he is to be reverted. It soes not lie in the mouth of the State that the petitioner was not fit for confirmation because in that case it was the duty of the State to revert him. The rule makes it imperative that the period of probation could bot be extended beyond two years under any circumstance. Shri-Hari Nand vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others, 1981(2) S.L.R. 727
2.
Confirmation. Rule 13.9(2) relates to promotion as an Assistant Sub-Inspector. It is specifically provided in the rule that substantive promotion the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector shall be made by the Deputy Inspector-General in accordance with the principles prescribed in rule 13.1. It is not dispute that the petioner ed the Intermediate School Course in September, 1963 whereas respondent Nos. 3 and 6 ed the said course in March, 1964 and March, 1965, respectively, respondent No. 4 was a direct recruit. responsent No. 7, however, ed that course in March, 1962. It has not been provided in any rule that in case an Assistant Sub-Inspector has been brought on list ‘E’ prior to his seniors he should be confirmed as Assistant Sub-Inspector prior to the letter. It may also be relevant to point out at theis stage that the petitioner had also ed the Upper School Course prior to the confirmation of respondent Nos. 3, 4, 6 and 7 as Assistant Sub-Inspector and that the were junior to him. Therefore, the petitioner was entitled to be considered for conformation as Assistant Sub-Inspector when the above said respondents were confirmed.

3. Efficiency and Honesty. The basis rule laid down in Rule 13.1(1) is that the sub-stantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post was to be made “by selection tempered by Seniority. Efficiency ad Honesty shall be the main factors governing selection.” Rule 13.1(1) implies that the efficiency is to judged by the confirming authority and leaves the confirming authority free to judge it in a suitable manner. The test is a just and fair method of judging the efficiency. The power to prescribed the test is, therefore, implied in the power to judge the efficiency. It is now well established that executive instructions such as the circular prescribing the test can supplement statutory rules particularly when the power to issue such an executive instruction is implied in the power given by the statutory rules. 1972 P.L.R.

Holding of departmental examinations for promotion. In the return filed on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, it has been stated in sub-paragraph (iv) of paragraph in reply to the allegations contained in paragraph 15 of the petition that according to departmental instructions, selection for Intermediate Course is to be made from among confirmed Head Constables who have ed Lower School Course and do not exceed 40 years in age. It was denied that certain Head Constables in the matter of selection superseded the petitioner. All those Head Constables were said to have been either on probation or were confirmed at the time of the selection for the Intermediate Training Course. Shri Parkash Chand, Assistant to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, who has filed the affidavit on behalf of respondents 1 to 3, has stated that the petitioner appeared before him on 17th May, 1966 and requested that he should be allowed to serve in the C.I.D. and that the would no claim his promotion. Later on, however, he was asked to put the same in writing. He submitted that his domestic affairs did not permit him to work in the District Police and it was on own his request that he was permitted to stay in the C.I.D. I have no manner of doubt that the examinations which were conducted by the Superintendent of Police are not at all contemplated or covered by Rule 13.8(2) nor can I persuade myself to accept that under Rule 13.1 the holding of the examinations by the Superintendent o Police was be the proper method for judging efficiency and honesty. There are various other ways of finding whether an officer is honest and efficiency and a good deal would depend on the actual reports of his work by his superior officers relating to efficient and honest discharge of duty. I am, therefore, satisfied that the petitioner has a genuine grievance when the result of the examinations held by the Superintendent of Police was taken into consideration while deciding whether, he should be put on probation as a Head Constable. Lakshya Vir, Head Constable vs. Punjab State, 1967 S.L.R. 706

Intermediate School Course. The respondents are confirmed Head Constables. The stage of undergoing the Lower School Course has long since ed. It would have been a relevant consideration at the time of confirmation. The learned counsel for the respondent have rightly contended that once the respondents have been confirmed, they will be deemed to have been exempted from ing the Lower School Course. Whether the respondents had ed the Lower School Course or not, is not relevant at the present stage. The respondents were confirmed many years back. They have not to be deputed to the Intermediate School Course in accordance with their seniority. We are in complete agreement with the conclusions of the learned Single Judge. The learned counsel for the appellants has not been able to his contention either on principle or on precedent. State of Haryana and others vs. Phool Chand, Head Constable and others, 1985(2) L.LR. 425
7. Objective test for the assessment of the efficiency of the candidates. The authority empowered to confirm or substantively promote an officiating SubInspector under Rule 13.1(1) was liable to act in a discriminatory manner if he were to judge the efficiency of the numerous persons in List ‘E’ only subjectively. It was for this reason that the circular dated 14.9.1957, Exhibit PW/3/10 laid down an objective test for the assessment of the efficiency of the candidate in List ‘E’. Such objective test was fair to all the candidates in List ‘E’ and protected them from possible discrimination or vagaries inevitable in a merely subjective test. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I. Police, 1969 S.L.R. 782 8. Officiation and Substantive promotion. The promotion under Ch. XIII is of two kinds viz. (a) an officiating promotion and (b) a substantive promotion. Officiating promotion is governed by the provisions of R. 13.10 and 13.12. whereas substantive promotion is governed by R.13.1. The distinction between substantive promotion and the officiating promotion is clearly made in R. 13.9(2), which deals with Lest ‘D’. But the same distinction is applicable to the provisions dealing with List ‘E’ also. Rule 13.1(1) applies to the substantive promotion of Police Officers in all the lists including List ‘E’ as is shown by the provisions of Rule 13.1(3) which specifically refers to List ‘E’ also. 9.
Probation period—Reversion. The relevant Punjab Police Rules may have to be seen to ascertain whether there is scope for issuing instructions concerning the holding of the test for preparing a test for promoting a police constable driver as a head constable. Rule 13.18 prescribes that all police officers promoted in rank shall be on probation for two years; while on probation officers may be reverted without departmental proceeding and such reversion shall not be considered as reduction in rank. Makhan Singh vs. Union of India, 1977 P/LR. (D) 85
10. Promotion – Criteria for. Upper subordinates in the above rule mean Sub-Inspector and Inspectors. It is evident from the said rule that in the first instance seniority of the upper subordinates is reckoned from the date of first appointment but the final seniority is determined from the dates of confirmation. The matter which are to be taken into consideration for making promotion as already observed have been given in rule 13.1 of the Rules. The fact that an officer is brought on list ‘E’ prior to another senior officer does not make him entitled to promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector prior to the latter. At the time of promotion the criteria laid down in rule 13.1 is to be taken into consideration. Balkrishan vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(1) S.L.R. 367 11. Promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another. Rule 13.1 of the Rules prescribes that promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made by selection tempered by seniority and that efficiency and honesty shall be main factors governing selection. Specific qualifications, whether in the nature of training courses or practical experience, shall be carefully considered in each case and when the qualification of two officers are other wise equal, the senior shall be promoted. When the petitioner was promoted as officiating SubInspector of Police, it is presumed that he had been found fit for that promotion and ha was not reverted on the ground that he had become unsuitable or his efficiency and honesty had deteriorated. Respondents 2 to 14 were promoted in the rank of Head Constable, Assistant Sub-Inspector and SubInspector, a number of years later than the petitioner. The possible exception of respondent 8 is that he was promoted as officiating Head Constable and conformed in that post earlier than the petitioner, but he got his promotion as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and Sub-Inspector of Police on December 21,1960, and September 21, 1963, respectively, whereas the petitioner was promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police on October 15, 1957 and December 13, 1960, respectively. In the case of a promotion, selection has been made on merit keeping In view seniority and, once an officer id promoted, it is to be presumed that ha was found fit for promotion. At the time of reversion, the junior most officer has to be reverted first and selection cannot be made from amongst the officiating personnel on the basis of relative merit unless it is found in the case of a senior officer that he had become unsuitable or his efficiency and honesty had deteriorated after he was given the officiating chance. I regret and honesty had deteriorated after he was given the officiating chance. I regret I cannot agree the choice the submission of the learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2 that the employer has the choice of selecting his employees. This rule does not apply to Government servants for whose service specific statutory rules have been framed. Under the statutory rules, no arbitrary powers can be presumed to exist in favour of the appointing authority or the Head of the Department. The executive power has to be exercised justly and fairly, so that all the Government servants are treated alike, which is their fundamental right guaranteed by Article 16 of the Constitution. The reversion of a senior officer, while a junior officer is retained in the officiating rank status; emoluments and further chances of promotion and is thus punitive in charter although it has not been made by way of punishment. Nevertheless, evil consequences follow and in order to avoid that the well-known principle of ‘last come first go’ has to be followed in the case of reservation. At the risk of repetition, I wish to emphasis that the appointing authority has the power to select from amongst the eligible candidate he best man available who may not be the senior most man at the time of appointment or promotion but at the time of reversion, the senior man will be reverted only if he has not been found suitable for the officiating post or after occupying that post his efficiency and honesty have deteriorated. This principle has not been followed by respondents 2 while reverting the petitioner in the present case. The order ed by him smacks of arbitrariness and favoritism. In fact, the assertion on behalf of respondent 2 in his written statement that ‘exceptions cannot be ruled out altogether on the basis of special consideration achievements ‘gives a clue how he while ing the order of reversion. Not only was relative merit not considered but other ‘consideration’ prevailed with him, which other consideration have not been explained in the written statement. The order also does not contain any reason for reverting the petitioner while retaining his juniors in service. The only reason given is for want of vacancy and for his reason the junior-most officiating SubInspector should have been reverted. Harmohinder Singh, Sub-Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1971 (2)S.L.R 304 12.Promotion on list “D” – No test prescribed under the Rules. – Standing Order No 238 of the Inspector General of Police prescribed departmental qualifying test for drawing up promotion list “D” (women police) is in total conflict with the procedure prescribed for maintenance of promotion list “D” by rule 13.9 of ht Punjab Police Rules. The object of standing order No 238 of the Inspector General of Police was to prescribe altogether a different method for drawing promotion list “D” (women police) and the method adopted was contrary to and in conflict with the provisions of rule 13.9 of Punjab Police Rules. The standing order did not have effect of merely supplementing the provisions rule 13.9. A method contradictory to the one prescribed in rule 13.9 was provided by the standing order for list “D” (women police). Smt. Kailash Wati Bajaj vs. Union of India and other. 1973(1) S.L.R. 249 13.Promotion—Record shaddy. – It is obvious promotion has to be selection tempered by seniority, and efficiency as well as honesty are the main consideration for it. The appellant claims that he should have been promoted before respondents Malkiat Singh, Yudnvir Singh was character rolls of the http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

appellant which were duly conveyed to him. Now Malkiat Singh was conformed in August, 1963, long before the appellant was confirmed. He was thus senior to the appellant. As regards the other respondents, there is nothing to show that their record was no better than the appellant. Persons with better record were entitled to be selected. It may be noticed that appellant has been reported to be a habitual drunkard and having misconducted himself on a number of occasions even after his promotion as Police Prosecutor. Bani Ram Sharma vs. State of Himachal Pardesh and others, 1982 (1)S.L.R 378 14.Promotion—To the posts of Assistant Sub-Inspectors—ing of certificate wave. – A perusal of Rule 13.1(1) reproduced above would go to show that promotion from one rank to another, inclusive of from the post of Head Constable to that of Assistant Sub-Inspector bad to be made by selection tempered by seniority. The emphasis is upon selection. It is true that the selection is tempered with seniority but all that it means is that in the process of selection, seniority would also play its due role. If seniority alone was the criteria there was no need to mention selection in the Rule. Seniority alone is not the sole determining factor is also made out from the kast three lines of the Rule which go to show that when qualification of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. It necessarily follows that when junior ha better qualifications, he can score over his senior correct reading of Rule 13.1(1) of Punjab Police Rule, in my opinion, cannot be interpreted to say that whatever by the circumstances, whatever be the qualifications of Head Constable and whatever be their merit, only senior Head Constable who have ed the qualifying course first have to be promoted before the one who have done the said course later. It is the positive case of the respondents that a test was conducted. Whereas respondents No 4 to 31 has qualified the said test, the petitioners failed. The Departmental Promotion Committee had gone through the process of selection by holding a test and the said test with a view to find out merit is certainly of the modes to make selection. Ashwani Kumar and other vs. State of Haryana and others, S.L.R 687=1991(3)RSJ 682 15. Removal of name of a police officer from list E or list D. In deciding in each particular case whether the reversion of a Government servant id by way of punishment or not yhe court has to keep in view the context and circumstances of the case leading to reversion and the consequence directly flowing from reversion in so far as they may affect the substantive rank of the Government servant and not qua the higher rank which he was holding in an officiating capacity or as a probationer. The loss of emoluments of higher post and being reverted to the lower post are not penal consequences as they have reference to their post and not to substantive post. Though the motive of reversion id not relevant, actual effect of the order of reversion is material for deciding whether in each particular case it amounts to reduction in rank or not. The State of Punjab vs. Rijinder Sing, ILR (1996) Punj. 84=1965 P.L.R. supp 625 16. Requirement of the test laid down by the circular. The requirement of the test laid down by the circular, dated 14.9.1957 was merely a method of judging the efficiency. It was, therefore, valid and the reversion of the respondent could not be challenged in so far as it was made because the respondent failed to appear at the test and thereby showed that he was not efficient within the meaning of Rule 13.1(1) of the Punjab Police Rules. The respondents has pointedly pleaded in paragraph 8(I) of the plaint that several persons were confirmed as Sub-Inspector of Police without qualifying in the departmental test laid down by the circular, dated 14.9.1957 and that the respondents alone was reverted for not taking the test, an action which was discriminatory and contrary to Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution. The only defence was that the persons who were confirmed inspite of their failure to take the test were probationers and their cases did not stand on the same footing as that of the respondents, who was only officiating as a Sub-Inspector of Police. This defence is untenable on the face of it. Firstly, the circular, dated 14.9.1957 expressly to probationers as well as to persons officiating as Sub-Inspector of Police. Both these categories of persons were required to take the test. The defence is, thus contrary to the circular and, therefore, totally fails to explain why several probationers were confirmed without taking the test, while the respondents alone was reverted for not taking test. Secondly, neither any Rules nor any istrative instructions have been brought to any my notice to show if a probationer and a person appointed to officiate can be distinguished from each other by intelligible differentia. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj A.S.I Police, 1969 S.L.R 782 17. Reversion for failure to satisfy the test of efficiency. In State of Haryana vs. Shamsher Jung, 1968 SLR 162, the departmental examination for promotion was not show to be implied in the statutory rules governing the promotion in considering whether executive instructions supplement the statutory rules. The above-mentioned Supreme Court decisions were not considered by the Court in Satpal Sharma vs. State of Punjab, 1968 SLR 484 also the imposition of a test for promotion was not shown to be necessary for the assessment of efficiency as in the present case. In Ram Kishan vs. InspectorGeneral of Police, 1968 SLR 661 the vital distinction between the officiating promotion and the substantive promotion pointed out above was not brought to the notice of the court with the result that the court did not consider the question whether the power to hold a test was implied in the power to judge the efficiency under the Punjab Police Rule 13.1 (1). In Lakshya Vir vs. State of Punjab, 1967 SLR 706, it was observed that under Punjab Police Rules, 13.1(1), 13.1(2) and 13.8(1) there could be other methods than test to judge the efficiency of a candidate. With great respect, however, it may be pointed out that it is for the confirming authority to devise a suitable method of judging the efficiency. If the test was a suitable method, it is not for this court to suggest to the confirming authority to search for other suitable methods so long as the method of test cannot be said to be unsuitable or outside the power conferred by the Punjab Police Rule 13.1(1). A mere reversion for failure to satisfy the test of efficiency and removal of the name from list “E” was, therefore, not a reduction in a rank at all within the meaning of Article 311(2) of the Constitution. This was also the view expressed in the State of Punjab vs. Rajinder Singh, 1965 PLR . Supplement 625. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I Police, 1969 S.L.R 728 18. Right to be deputed for Intermediate School Course . – Rule 13.9 deals with the preparation of list “D” for promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors. The Head Constable eligible for being itted to this list are those who have ed the Lower School Course and the Intermediate School Course and unless they are so qualified, they have no right to be considered for being itted to that list. Once a Head Constable qualified by ing both the course, his case is placed before the Deputy Inspector General of Police for being brought on list “D” and it is at that time that his efficiency and integrity come up for consideration along with other relevant factors, one of them being whether he is fit for officiating or substantive promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector. Merely because a Head Constable has ed the Intermediate School Course does not give him right of being itted to list “D”. By ing that course, he only qualifies himself for being considered for ission to list “D”. It can well happen that when a Head Constable ed an Intermediate School Course, he may not be considered thoroughly efficient in all branches of the duties of a Constable or Head Constable and some time later he attains that efficiency. He will then become eligible for being brought on list “D” which will open the way for him to be promoted to the rank of officiating or substantive Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police. It is contended on behalf of the respondents that when he became efficient, he will be sent for the Intermediate School Course but it may happen that at that time he is unable to qualify in that examination either because of advanced age or physical unfitness. In that case it will mean that such a Head Constable is condemned for ever to remain as a Head Constable and cannot seek promotion to the next higher rank. We are, therefore, or the opinion that it is inherent in rule 13.9 and a legitimate inference can be drawn from the language of this rule every Head Constable list “C” has the right to be deputed for the Intermediate School Course on his turn and no obstacle can be placed in his way by any o the authorities because it is a necessary prescribed by any that rule and there is no other institution from where this qualification himself by ing the Intermediate School Course from any other institution, no obligation would have been cast on the Government to afford him an opportunity to that course and thus acquire that qualification just as educational qualifications are prescribed which can be acquired by the candidates from any of the numerous institutions. Since this qualification cannot be acquired in any other way but by ission to the Police Training College, the Head Constable willing to undergo that must be afforded an opportunity to do so. Since the number of seats for the Intermediate School Course is limited, the Head Constable can be sent in the order of seniority as stated hereinafter. Under Rule 13.9 these two factors are taken consideration by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police while itting a Head Constable to list “D”, which can be done only after a Head Constable qualifies himself by ing the Lower School Course and the Intermediate School Course. These two factors cannot be taken into consideration when a Head Constable is to be sent for Intermediate School Course. That is a specific qualification which has also to be considered in each case along with efficiency, honesty and suitability. A Head Constable can became eligible for being selected only after he acquires qualification by ing the Intermediate School Course. Without ing that course, he cannot be considered and, therefore, it can legitimately be said that the acquiring of the qualification does not constitute a part of the process of promotion, it only makes the Head Constable eligible for being considered for selection. It is not possible for us to subscribe to the very wide proposition canvassed by the learned Advocate General for the State of Punjab that the process of promotion from the rank of Constable to the other higher ranks starts when a Constable is brought on list “A”. It cannot be said that immediately therefore the process of promotion from one rank to the other start and it is a continuing process till the Constable reaches the highest rank for which he is eligible. The process of promotion and is to be seen in the case of every promotion from one rank to the next higher rank and not as a whole from the lowest to the highest rank. Saradul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others, 1970 S.L.R 505 19. Rules are statutory in character. – Rule 13.1 and 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rule are statutory in character, having been made under the Police Act, 1861, and are applicable to the Union Territory of Delhi. Further as these rules do not make any distinction between male and female of the police force list “D” for regulating promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors even in the case of Lady Head Constable has to be prepared in accordance with the with the provision of rule 13.9. If for maintaining list “D” for Lady Constable for regulating their promotion to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector any method is adopted which is an conflicted with the procedure prescribed by rule 13.9 it would obviously be illegal, being opposed to a statutory rule Sub-rule (3) of Rule 12(1) does not contemplate laying down a different procedure for women police than the one contained in Rule 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 for maintaining list”D”.

availability of the permanent vacancies for their confirmation as Head Constable with effect from dates earlier to the ones from which they had actually been confirmed. The petitioners cannot possibly make any grouse of that particularly when there is no inter so seniority of the petitioners and respondents Nos. 4 to 9 under Police Rules which govern their service conditions. As already pointed out, a working seniority list of all the Head Constables I the range is made by the Deputy Inspector General with a view to send them to the Intermediate Course as the said course forms a parts of the process of their further promotion go the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspectors whose seniority under the rules is maintained at the range level. I also find no mala fides or \extraneous considerations in the Deputy Inspector General or General directing the Senior Superintendent of Police, Faridkot, to consider the dates of confirmation of the Head Constables of his district in the light of the availability of permanent vacancies during the years 1976 to 1981. That having been done, respondents Nos. 4 to 9 apparently stole a march over the petitioners to be sent to the Intermediate Course. There is thus no question of any discrimination or arbitrariness in the orders ed by the Deputy Inspector General or the Senior Superintendent of Police, Faridkot. Lakha Singh, head Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1985(2) S.L.R. 695. 21. Substantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post – The most important thing which has been overlooked not only by both the learned lower Courts, but also in the various decisions cited in of the respondents case is that the promotion under Chapter XIII is of two kinds, viz. (a) an officiating promotion and (b) a substantive promotion. ittedly, the respondent had received only an officiating promotion. This was governed by the provisions of Rule 13.10 and 13.12. The substantive promotion of the respondent which would have meant his confirmation as a SubInspector of Police had yet to come. Substantive promotion was governed by Rule 13.1. The distinction between substantive promotion and the officiating promotion is clearly made in Rule 13.9(2), which deals with List ‘D’. But the same distinction is applicable to the provisions dealing with List ‘E’ also. This is borne out by the fact that Rule 13.4 specifically deals with officiating promotions Rule 13.4(2), deals with officiating promotions to the rank of SubInspector and Rule 13.4(3) specifically deals with persons, who are in List ‘E’ as the respondent was. These officiating promotions are to be distinguished from promotions simpliciter or substantive promotions referred to in Rule 13.1(1). Rule 13.1(1) applies to the substantive promotion of Police Officers in all the Lists including List ‘E’ as is shown by the provisions of Rule 13.1(3), which specifically refers to List ‘E’, which was the List in which the name of the respondent had been placed. The basic rule laid down in Rule 13.1(1) is that the substantive promotion or the confirmation in a permanent post was to be made “by selection tempered by seniority. Efficiency and honesty shall be the main factors governing selection”. Union of India and another vs. Shri Hans Raj, A.S.I. Police, 1969 S.L.R. 782. 13.2.

Seniority of Head Constables in districts will be recorded in form 10.88(1). SYNOPSIS 1. Jurisdiction to proceed with departmental enquiry. COMMENTS 1. Jurisdiction to proceed with departmental enquiry – Where the criminal court has tried the concerned person and acquital him, it would be improper and such a proceeding is liable to be quashed as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice, if the istrative authority later initiates disciplinary proceedings on the identical facts and identical charge and records a contrary conclusion. There could be no right or inflexible rule that the finding of a criminal Court is conclusive in every sense, upon a istrative authorities. If the finding be that the acquital is on a technical ground, the istrative authority may conceivably punish the employee the same facts. It can certainly punish where the acquittal is solely based on the same facts, sanction, or some technical defect in procedure. It could punish on the same facts, for some lesser charge, which may not amount to a criminal offence, but may well amount to grave dereliction of duty, entitling disciplinary action. But, however, where the acquittal is substantially on merits, on identical facts and charges, it will not be proper for a disciplinary Tribunal to record a finding of guilt, and to punish, the employee thereon. This would be a basic principle of jurisprudence and it would make no difference that the departmental authority acts before the criminal proceedings or after it and the Court, in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution., would be justified in striking down the action based on such finding as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice.

Promotion to the report of Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list ‘D’. COMMENTS
1. Automatic confirmation - - “Officiation” and being place on “probation” – Leaned counsel for the respondent-State was right in his stand that the nature of officiation does not either change or vary by the nature of the post against which a person officiates. The statutory rules do not the post against which a temporary vacancy only. To hold so, by a process of interpretation would, in my view, be unable. The language in the status is unlimited in its Sweep. Therefore, officiation may well be against a regular or permanent vacancy. In view permanent vacancies cannot possibly be excluded from the concept of an offciation against them. If in essence ‘officiation’ and being placed on probation ‘are’ district and separate term then the mere length of time of officiating cannot convert it into a deemed probation. On principle such an interpretation does not command itself to me and as would appear hereafter preceding is equally to the same effect Raj Kumar , A.S.I vs. State of Punjab and others 1980(3) S.L.R.779 2. Order dismissal by a subordinate authority. – The sole that has been argused in the petition is that the petitioner has been appointed a an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Patiala Range, Patiala, and not by the Superintendent of Police, Patiala, and therefore, he could be dismissed from service only by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police Patiala Range. The reply on behalf of the respondents is that under rule 13.4 of the Punjab Police Rule, 1934 an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police can be appointed by the Superintendent of Police provided the vacancy in which he is appointed id of less than eight months duration. Man Singh A.S.I. vs. State of Punjab and others, 1973(1) S.L.R.365 3. Promotion to the post of Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list “D”. With regard to officiating promotions, rule 13.9(2) directions that officiating promotion shall be made out of his list as far as possible in rotation so as to give each man a trial in the duties of the higher rank. An analysis rules shows that officiating promotion of Assistant Sub Inspector from list D id intended to be made, as far as possible, in rotation or turns so as to give each man a trail in the higher rank. We are of the view that officiating appointments envisaged in the rule appointments against temporary posts or against temporary vacancies in appointment posts, both of which mist, and a permanent regular vacancy and there id no exigency of police service required local arrangement, it is difficult to hold that the rule permit promotion of qualified men t o be made in officiating capacity for more than 2 years being the period mentioned in rule 13.18 during which their fitness and conformation must finally be determined. It is obvious that the promotion of a fit senior officer cannot be superseded and bye-ed by a junior, by keeping the senior in an offiaciating capacity indefinitely. Any other interpretation would destroy the object of the rules and would militate, particularly against rule 13.18. On a construction of rule 13.9(2), I it be left to the authorities concerned to discriminate equal persons and appointment some in officiating capacity and keep them in this capacity for several years while appoint others on probation on way to automatic confirmation after two years, the power will be unguided and unfettered and would be discriminatory and unconstitutional. The rule requires the higher officers to keep a strict watch on the conduct and efficiency of the officers and definite orders with regard to their fitness within a reasonable time, but it is a legal right of the public servant equally placed to be considered for promotion. If there is nothing against the officers, senior qualified officers must be promoted and confirmed and if there be anything against them which militated against their fitness there must be a definite decision according toe law holding unfit for promotion or confirmation every time their juniors are considered for promotion.

ission to Lower School Course. The contention of the petioner’s counsel that more than 15 marks cannot be assigned for examiniation of service record does no find favour with the Court. The break-up of the marks assigned for assessment of service record has been given in sub-rule (4) of Rule 13.7 of the Rules. A candidate under group (1) cannot be given more than 5 marks for education. A candidate who has ed all the courses under group (ii) will be entitled to 15 marks. Under group (iii) if a candidate is in possession of commendation certificate of Class-I he shall be entitled to three marks, for class II, 2 marks and for Class III, 1 mark subject to a maximum o9f 15 for both. A Graduate candidate who had ed all the courses and is in possession of Class-I, Class-II, certificates, he will be entitled to 28 marks.

2. Constable with doubtful integrity is not entitled to be deputed for the course. The service record of Dhanna Singh, as produced before me, shows that his integrity has been doubted. A person, who has been considered to be of doubtful integrity by his superiors cannot claim that his record is not really based. So, the action of the respondents is not including his name in List ‘B’ and deciding to send him for Lower School Course is fully justified. However, the case of Bant Singh and Mghar Singh, petitioners, is different. In the service record of both the petitioners, there is no adverse entry apart from the fact that they had been censured. Censure according to the rules is not a major punishment. So, the petitioners could not be decided ission to List B and an opportunity for training in Lower School Course on the basis of the minor punishments of Censure. Dhanna Singh, Constable vs. The Chandigarh istration and ors., 1984(1) S.L.R. 739 3.
Constables who were eligible for further promotion and stood promoted to the next higher post. The appellants in L.P.A. Nos. 291 and 368 of 1984 before us were necessary parties to the Civil Writ Petitions Nos. 7124 and 6900 of 1975 and therefore, the observations made in those judgments would not, in any manner, affect adversely the appellants with the result that the appellants who had undergone the cadre course of the lower school course in the year 1976 were entitled to be considered for being brought on the ‘C’ list and to be promoted as Head Constable from the date they had been so promoted as on that date the provide respondents were yet undergoing the cadre course/lower school course and they, therefore, in , of rule were no even eligible to be considered for promotion to the post o Head Constable as the successful completion of the lower school course was sine qua non for promotion to the next higher post of Head Constable. Once the constables who were eligible for further promotion and stood promoted to the next higher post, the Constables who were their senior as Constable having also ed the lower school course after their so called junior had been promoted to the post of Head Constable, cannot be legally permitted to flaunt their seniority as Constables and seek promotion as Head Constable in point of time prior to those who although were junior to such constable but were alone eligible to be promoted on the date they were so promoted to the post of Head Constable. Amrik Skingh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324

Constables though not eligible under the rules for undergoing cadre course/Lower school course sent for the same. The contention advance by Mr. Gupta in regard to the two constables is no doubt correct be then all the private respondent in of amended rule 13.7 had failed in the said test and they every not entitled to be itted to the course in question. They were directed to be itted by this Court. So it hardly lies in their mouth to challenge the eligibility even of these two constables for being sent to undergo the given course. The private respondents and these two constables both being in of rule 13.7 no entitled to undergo the course, but both having done so, then the one who completed the course earlier would, therefore, if the rules permit would continue to have the upper hand. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 198691) S.L.R. 324
5. Denial of a ission to the course not proper. Training course which began in October 1976 has already come to an end. Under the circumstances, the case of the petitioners will have to be considered for the new training course which may commence hereafter. But so far as further training courses are concerned, it is and itted position on that the matter will obviously be covered by the amended rule 13.7 which has come into operation by virtue of the notification dated 16.06.1976. Obviously the petitioners will have to undergo the test prescribed by amended rule 13.7 before getting ission to future course for training. We may, however, observe that all these petitioners have wrongly been denied ission to this course in the past. Therefore, this aspect of the matter must be borne in mind at the time of considering their future ission to the course in question. On behalf of the petitioners we were requested to adopt the same formula which was adopted by this Court in Miss Manju vs. State, reported in AIR 1972 H.P. 37. That was the case for ission to medical college and at the time when the writ petition was decided by this Court, rules for ission to the medical college were amended. The Court, however, gave directions to increase the number of seals to accommodate petitioner Manju who was found successful in the writ petition. We find that it is not possible for us to adop any course in this case because it may not be open to the state Government to ask the Government of Punjab to increase any seat at the Training College at Phillaur with a view to accommodate these petitioners. But we strongly recommend the case of these petitioners to the State Government and the concerned authorities, who shall see to it that unless there is any exceptional circumstance which would justify the refusal to it the petitioners to the required course in future in accordance with the amended rule No. 13-7, the petitioners shall be sent to the necessary training at Phillaur. It is recommended that, if possibly, the State Government may take any other necessary step including the step to increase the seats with a view to accommodate the petitioners in case there is nothing exceptionally adverse found against them at the relevant time. Shri Baldav Ram, Constable and another vs. The Superintendent of Police, Kangra and others, 1978(1) S.L.R. 774. 6. Denial to constables already on list ‘B’ to undergo training not proper. It is contended by the learned counsel of the petitioner that they were duly selected under Rule 13-7 and were brought on List B-1. Under the aforesaid rules they are entitled to be sent to the Lower School Course in April, 1980. He further argues that the rule has since been amended and the Government in pursuance of that rule has made a fresh selecting which is illegal and liable to be set aside. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondents has vehemently argued that the intention of incorporating the new rule
http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
266/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
was that the selection should be made afresh under the amended Rule. According to the counsel, the candidates already brought on List B-1 were thus not entitled to be sent to the course. Lal Sindh, Constable and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1980(3) S.L.R. 61. 7. Departmental test for being brought on List B-1 for promotion. Mere qualifying the test does not give them any right unless their names are brought on the list. Even the persons whose names are brought on the list ‘B-1’, cannot claim any right after the expiry of one year as this list is valid only for the year in which it is prepared. During the arguments, when it was brought to our notice that the persons who are already on List ‘B-1’ and have a right to be considered because of the 20% reserve are also not being considered for the promotion course for constables at the Police Training College, the position of the State Government was ascertained from the Assistant Advocate General appearing on behalf of the respondents, in this respect. He after consulting the respondents has given undertaking in the Court that all those persons whose names are already there on List ‘B-1’ including 20% reserve, will be considered by the State Government for promotion before any other fresh list is prepared within this year. On this undertaking by the State Counsel, this objection was no more available to the learned counsel for the petitioners have got any vested right as to maintain these petitions. The qualifying test in held in order to select persons for List ‘B-1’, under Rule 13-7, according to the number of seats allotted to each District. After that selection is over nothing remains and no body can claim any right subsequently on the basis of his bein qualified in the test. The purpose of the test, after the necessary selection is made, is over. Any person who qualifies in the test cannot claim as a matter of right that his name be brought on List ‘B-1’ subsequent to the test when selection has already been made. Babour Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1980(1) S.L.R. 279 8. Distinction between a lady constable and male constable Government were advised in drawing separate seniority of each cadre of all the women police officials. Jamail Singh and others vs. The State of Punjab, 1992(2) RSJ 114 9. First Aid Course. If photo copy of the certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association is correct, then petitioner had undergone First Aid Course during his service and no exception can be taken for not giving him credit for such a course. Ram Niwas vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) RSJ 726 10. Fixation of cut off date as January 1 of every year contrary to the Rules. The cut off date of 1st of January was also provided in the proviso added to rule 13-7 and in the standing order it was merely a clarification that is was also added in clauses (2) opening sentence “All Constables, who upto the 1st January that year”. This contention cannot be accepted. Proviso as it exists only debars punishment imposed prior to 1st of January to be taken into consideration. If a person was awarded major punishment, obviously he could not be sent for the training but from that no analogy can by drawn that for applying clauses (a), (b) and (c), the cut off date in all cases should be January 1st of the relevant year. Rules are framed by the State. A standing order which is in the form of instructions cannot over-ride the rule or provide contrary to the rule. Rule 13-7 as already stated above provides for eligibility of the persons at the time of selection and providing a cut off date of January 1st, in the standing order Annexure P-I, the operation of the rule stands curtailed which is not permitted under the law. The petitioner was eligible to be promoted to the rank of head Constable, being a Matriculate and having completed three years of service as on February 28, 1992 under Rule 13-7(2)(b) of the Punjab Police Rules as reproduced above. On that he was permitted to take the written test, which he ed. Subsequently he could not be deprived of being deputed to the Lower School Course. Rajwinder Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(4) S.L.R. 468 = 1992 (3) RSJ 101 11. Justificable reasons to ignore a Constable on list ‘B’ from sending him to training. The petitioner’s name was to be treated as if on List B, but as a reserve candidate within the 20% quota, the proviso on first impressions seems to be applicable. But then again, a Constable whose name is on the list and is not sent to the Police Training College can only be prevented from attending the Police Training College for justifiable reasons. And here, the justification pleaded, as has been held earlier, does not cut any ice. It is, therefore, in the essence of things hat the seat of the year 1978, which remained unfilled for the inaction of the respondents, must not be taken to have elapsed but to have remained in animated suspension, to be reactivate by judicial process as an answer to executive callousness. Accordingly, taking aid of the discretionary and viable powers with the Inspector-General of Police in the matter of fixation of the number of seats to be allotted to each district for the year, a direction need be issued to him to create for the petitioner a suitable seat in the Training Course of the first batch for the year 1982, but in fulfillment of the seat left vacant for the year 1978. Any other course would be defeating the spirit of the rule. The direction is nothing but a measure to cover up the left over seat which had otherwise rightly fallen to the share of the petitioner. Bhag Singh, Constable vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(2) S.L.R. 281 12. Lady constable allowed to participate the combined test for being deputed for Lower Training Course. The stand is that even though t tests for men and lady Constables were held in which the petitioner competed and stood first amongst the Lady Constables and secured a high position in the t merit, on the basis whereof she did earn a seat for deputation to the Lower School Course, yet in the absence of a formal and express order from the respondents allocating a seat for the Lady Constables, the entire exercise conducted by the respondents as well as the petitioner was futile and was an idle formality. Such a stand cannot be countenanced in the eye of law, as according to Rule 13-7 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, as applicable to the State of Haryana, and amended from time to time, there is no such provision or requirement of ing a separate order about the allocation of seats. Apart from that, if that was a condition precedent in the minds of the respondents, then either such an order could have been issued before holding the test in January, 1987, or if there was some insurmountable difficulty in the ing of such an order, then the Lady Constables should not have been permitted to participate. Now, after the petitioner ahs participated in the tests and has secured a meritorious position, it does not lie in the mouth of the respondents to deny to her, a well-earned right for undergoing the Training Course. Moreover, if Article 15(3) of the Constitution permits the State to make any special provision for the women and children, that does not mean that such a provision has to be made to their detriment. Rather, the intention is to provide better facilities for their benefit and betterment in their career. The impugned action of the respondents is wholly arbitrary. Prem Devi (Smt.) vs. The Director General of Police, Haryana and others, 1988(1) S.L.R. 468 13. Lower School Course. Essential for Constable to sit and in the test held under rule 13-7 of the Punjab Police Rules. Kamal Kishore vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1992(1) RSJ 524 14. Police Training Course – Eligibility of. The selection to be made in accordance with Rule 19-14 of the Rules succeed the bringing of the constables on list ‘B’ and does not precede it. Rule 13-7 of the Rule itself envisages the selection to be made for this list as the vacancies for ission to the promotion course occur at the Police Training School and it is that selection which has to be made in accordance with Rule 19-14 of the Rule. Since the petitioner was not placed on lit ‘B’ or as is the stand of the respondents, was not so approved by respondent No. 2 Deputy Inspector General of the Range on merits for being so placed on List ‘B’ he cannot have any possible grouse or locus stand to challenge the non-holding of test or non-compliance of the procedure laid down in rule 19-14 of the Rules. It is only the constable on list ‘B’ who can assail such a non-compliance of the latter Rule. The rest of the assertions of the petitioner that some of the constables were withdrawn or re-itted to this list ‘B’ at the time of their sending to the Police Training Court from amongst the respondents No. 4 to 13, have also to be negatived for the same very reason, i.e. he has no locus stand to assail their further selection or non-selection for being sent to the said Course. The pre-requisite for a constable being asked to take a test under Rule 19-14 of the Rules or the compliance of the other formalities of the Rules is that the constable should be on list ‘B’ framed under Rule 13-7, Raj Kumar, Constable vs. State of Haryana and ors., 1980(1) S.L.R. 599 15. Power of I.G.P. to frame rules and order. The first part predominantly takes care for the organization, classification and distribution of the police-force and other allied matters relative thereto regarding which the I.G.P. may from time to time, subject to the approval of the State Government, frame such orders and rules as he shall deem expedient. Yet in the second part, the I.G.P. is authorised to frame all such other orders and rule relative to the police force as he shall, from time to time, deem expedient for preventing abuse or neglect of duties and for rendering such force efficient in the discharge of its duties. In the second part, seemingly, the rules and orders contemplated are not subject to the approval of the State Government, The reason is obvious. In the second part, the orders and rules to be framed by the I.G.P. are preventive in nature that whenever it occurs to him he should frame rules or orders necessary for preventing abuse or neglect of duty and on the other hand for the purpose of rendering the police force efficient in the discharge of its duties. Dalbir Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329 16. Power to constitute the Departmental Promotion Committee. Rule making authority has the power to nominate the authorities who will exercise powers under those rules. The State Government acts through human agencies and the Inspector General of Police is the Head of the Police Department in the State. The power to constitute the Departmental Promotion Committee and prescribing the syllabi for the various tests etc., had to be given to some responsible officer and the vesting of that power in the Inspector General of Police is in accordance with the constitution of the police force for the district. Under Section 2 of the Police Act, 1861, the whole State of Punjab form one police district and the entire police establishment under a State Government is deemed to be one police force, the istration of which is vested in the Inspector General of Police under Section 4 of the said Act. Ram Labhaya, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and others vs. The State of Punjab, through the Secretary for Home Affairs, Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 775. 17. Prescription of age limit at 30 years Now coming to the next contention of the learned counsel for the appellants regarding fixation of age limit in rule 13-7(2), I do not find any merit in it. I agree with the findings of the learned Single Judge that rule 13-7(2) is unreasonable and ultra-vires Articles 16 of the constitution. The age of superannuation of constables is 58 years in Punjab and it seems highly unreasonable and arbitrary that the constables after having attained 30 years of age are debarred from consideration for further promotion for a period of 28 years. Hence this provision http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
267/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
regarding age limit is arbitrary as no reason therefor has been indicated in the rules. Rather this fixation of age limit debarring the constables for further promotion after they become 30 years of age, would lead to frustration and rusting constables who have crossed 30 years of age, would have no incentive to hard work and honesty because they know that their future career is blocked as they cannot be promoted even to the next rank of Head Constables, what to say of consideration for higher promotion. Thus rule 13-7(2) has no relation with the object to the be achieved thereby and goes contrary to Article 16 of the Constitution. The only object to be achieved in Police Force is honesty, hard work and efficiency, I fail to understand how this object can be achieved by blocking the future career of the constables at the age of 30 years when they have still 28 years of service to go with no incentive. This bar or restriction on the age of unintelligible as no object will be achieved by framing these rules. The bar has been placed on a constable at such an early stage of his that it has denied him the chance of any promotion during the last 28 years of his service career. This at any rate has to nexus with the object to be achieved thereby. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others vs. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 116 18. Prescription of age on attaining which Constables are debarred from being considered for selection to Promotion Course. In Clauses (a), (b) and (c) of rule 13-7(2), the qualifications of Constables, who will be eligible to have their names entered in list ‘B’, are given, if they ae not above thirty years of age on the first day of July in the year in which the selection is made. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that this provision regarding age limit given in rule 13-7(2) is unconstitutional and, therefore, it should be struck down. In the State of Punjab, the age of superannuation of a police officer/official is 58 years and to debar a constable from consideration for further promotion for a period of 28 years seems to be unreasonable and an infringement of his fundamental right under Article 16 of the Constitution of India. The restriction of age cannot be provided as it has no nexus to the object to be achieved i.e. promotion of Constables to the post of Head Constable. This provision regarding age is arbitrary as no reason has been shown for its fixation. It violates the rights of the Constables under Article 16 of the Constitution of India and is liable to be struck down. I, therefore, hold that the prescription of the age of 30 years for Constables on attaining which they are debarred under Rule 13-7(2) from being considered for selection to the Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College, Phillaur is unconstitutional and is struck down. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others vs. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others, 1974(2) S.L.R. 15 19. Promotion - - Denial of - - Discrimination. The petitioners having got distinction in the Lower School Course held in the month of April, 1982 would not be hit by the order of cancellation of these instructions as such like instructions are prospective in operation only, especially when the petitioners had acquired a right to be considered for accelerated promotions before the issuance of such instructions. Moreover, the retrospective application of these instruction would result in discrimination between the of the police force similarly situated as ittedly under the Rule 1944 instructions some constables were given accelerated promotion as head constable. Under these circumstances the act of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for accelerated promotion has not only resulted in discrimination but arbitrariness and, thus, hit by the mandate enshrine in Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution. For the foregoing reasons this writ petition succeeds. The respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioners for accelerated promotion to the post of head constable with effect from the date they had cleared the Lower School Course with distinction under the 1944 instructions. Rattan Lal, Constable vs. State of Haryana and ors., 1990(3) S.L.R. 92 = 1992(2) RSJ 740 20. Promotion - - Departmental Promotion Committee. Rule 13-7 envisaged appointment of a promotion committee by Inspector General of Police, the instructions envisaged appointment of Promotion Committee by D.I.G. Police and therefore, the selection held by the promotion committee could not be considered strictly to be in accordance with Rule 13-7. Even if for the sake of argument it is assumed that the promotion committee in the present case had been appointed by D.I.G. and not by the Inspector General of Police, then that by itself would no render the selection as not being in accordance with the said rule. The material requirement of the said rule is (i) that the personnel of promotion committee should be of high rank; (ii) that they had judged the merit of each constable in accordance with the test envisaged in rule 13-7. Whether the high ranking promotion Committee was appointed by D.I.G. or I.G. is not of the essence of the rule. In the present case the promotion committee envisaged by the instructions comprised of Superintendent of Police of the concerned District as its President and two Gazetted Officers nominated by the D.I.G. of the Range. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324 21. Provision for competing again if not sent for ission to promotion course. It is evident from the bare reading of rule 13-7(1) that list ‘B’ in Form 13-7 shall be maintained by each Superintendent of Police; that it will include the names of all Constables selected for ission to the Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College; that the selection shall be made in the month of January each year; that it will be limited to the number of seats allotted to the districts for the year with a twenty per cent reserve and that the names in the list are to be entered in order of merit which is to be determined by the Departmental carried forward for the next year. The list is to be prepared every year in the month of January on the basis of merit as aforesaid. Otherwise, if the list was to be carry forward, then the language of rule 13-7(1) would have been entirely different. In that event there would have been indication in the rule that the list would be carried to the next year, that the new eligible constable would be placed at the bottom of the list and that the person at the top would be sent first to the Police raining College. But it does not seem to be the intention of rule 13-7(1) and the proviso to rule 137(2) has only made further clarification. The proviso only says that if any Constable, whose name has been brought on the list, is not sent to the Police Training College in the year, he will be required to compete again with the new candidates, if be is still eligible for ission to the said list under the rules. Secondly the proviso does not in any way lead to the impression that the names of the petitioner-respondents were impliedly removed from list ‘B’ by way of punishment. The Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others s. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 116 22. Proviso to Rule 13-7(2). Inconsistent with the provisions of Rule 13-7(1) and 13-8-A. Every Constable, whose name is on list ‘B’, has the right to be sent for Promotion Course for Constables at the Police Training College, Phillaur in order of his seniority determined in accordance with rule 13-7(1). The impugned order impliedly removed the names of the petitioners from List ‘B’ because they are required to appear again in the test for bringing their names on that list. The petitioners, therefore, cannot be asked again to appear in the test for bringing their names on list ‘B’, because they were not sent for training in the year 1973, in which their names were brought on the list. The proviso to Rule 13-7(2) is inconsistent with the provisions of Rule 13-7(1) and Rule 13-8-A. The provisions of this proviso to Rule 13-7(2) that if any Constable, whose name has been brought on the list, is not sent to the Police Training College in that year, he will be required to complete again with the new candidates, if he is still eligible for ission to the said list under the rules are arbitrary as no reasons are given for making this provision. This proviso is, therefore, ultra-vires of Article 16 of the Constitution as it puts a hurdle in the way of the Constables, whose names have been validly and legally brought on the list ‘B’, to acquire the necessary qualifications by ing the promotion course in the Police Training College, Phillaur, which alone will make them eligible for the next promotion as Head Constable, and it is struck down. Kashmir Singh, Constable and others vs. Ths Superintendent of Police, Gurdaspur and others, 1974(2) S.L.R. 15 23. Relaxation / Abolition of Rule 13-21 – Rule 13-7 is not that mandatory and cannot remain mandatory due to the power of relaxation available in rule 13-21, as also due to the workability of rule 13-20, the conclusion is inescapable that by virtue of order, Annexure P-2, the I.G.P. had the power to relax rule 13-7 to the extent of abolishing the parade test altogether for the year 1982 with respect to the class and category of persons competing for the test to be held in January, 1982. Thus, the question ed at the very outset is answered in the affirmative holding that the power of relaxation under rule 13-21 vested in the I.G.P. goes to the extent of abolishing a particular rule virtually, but for reasons to be recorded in writing and in respect of any class or category of persons. And the exercise of this power is not in the nature of amendment to the Rules, but as a measure to serve the exigencies of service so as to carry out the purposes o the Act, it is not a fraud on the Rules either. Balbir Singh, Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and other, 1983(1) S.L.R. 109 24. Relaxation of rules – Power vested in I.G.Police. Under Rule 13-21, it is only the Inspector General of Police who has the power to relax any of the provisions of Chapter XIII with respect to any of class or category of persons but contrary to the rule in the present case, according to the return filed on behalf of the respondents themselves, this relaxation has been made not by the Inspector-General of Police, but by the State Government. Of course, the said rule authorities the Inspector-General of Police, Punjab, to relax the Rules, if in his opinion it is necessary or expedient so to do, but in order to satisfy ourselves, we sent for the original file in which approval of the State Government was sought by the Inspector-General of Police. After going through the original file, we find that the proposal was made by the Inspector-General of Police for holding a special test of constables for List “B-1” for deputing them to undergo Lower School Course at Police Training College at Phillaur with a view to have additional qualified constables available for promotion for the newly created posts of Head Constables. The sanction regarding grant of relaxation of Rule 13-7 was only sought by him because the posts were sanctioned on of the recommendations of the Punjab Pay Commission by the State Government and the State Government has only stated that the necessary sanction is granted. In our opinion, for all intents and purpose, the requirement of Rule 13-21, which reads, “where the Inspector General of Police is of the opinion that is necessary or expedient so to do, he may, by order for reasons to be recorded in writing relax any of the provisions of this Chapter with respect of any class or category of persons” has been compiled with. The relaxation has been made by the Inspector-General of Police, though the same has also been sanctioned by the State Government. Mere grant of sanction by the State Government on the proposal initiated by the Inspector-General of Police, will not in any way violative Rule 13-21. Babour Sindh and other vs. State of Punjab and other, 19u8-0(1) S.L.R. 279. 25. Reservation can only be made if otherwise eligible to be considered for promotion. According to this proviso five percent of such promotions can be made from amongst the of the Police Force who achieve outstanding distinction in sports field at all India level or international level if they are otherwise eligible for promotion but for seniority. It is, therefore, evident that a person who has achieved an outstanding http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
268/521

The Police Rules, 1934
distinction can be selected for promotion only if he is otherwise eligible. The eligibility of the member of the Police Force is determined by the Departmental Promotion Committee according to the provisions of rules 13-7 and 13-20. It is only if he is found eligible that he can be selected against a reserved seat even though he may be much junior to the other persons whose names were also brought on the selection list by the Departmental Promotion Committee. The benefit which is intended to be conferred on a member of the Police Force having outstanding distinction in sports appears to be that he is allowed to supersede in persons senior to him in the service but all instructions are prospective in operation only, especially when the petitioners had acquired a right to be considered for accelerated promotions before the issuance for such instructions. Moreover, the retrospective application of these instructions would result in discrimination between the of the police force similarly situated as ittedly under the Rule 1944 instructions some constables were given accelerated promotion as head constable. Under these circumstances the act o the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioners for accelerated promotion has not only resulted in discrimination but arbitrariness and, thus hit by the mandate enshrined in Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution that the rule was framed under S.46 of the Act) that the rules has been framed for giving effect to the provisions of the Act. This has to be seen in the backdrop of S.12 which has been noticed a while ago providing that to restore efficiency in the discharge of the duties of the police-force, is the function of the I.G.P. And if in the manner of selection for promotional course, he considers it necessary or expedient to relax any provision of Chapter XIII with respect to any class or category of persons he can do so for the purposes of the Act but by order and for reasons to be recorded in writing. In this context, it may for the sake of argument be taken that all the rules starting from 13.1 ending by 13.20 are mandatory in nature but by providing rule 13.21 the mandatoriness of the rules, to my mind, has been done away with by the grant of power of relaxation. Thus, as it seems to me, the State Government by framing rule 13.21 did not as a delegate further delegate its power to the I.G.P. for amendment of the rules, but rather facilities, by simultaneously conferring power under rule 13.20, the carrying out of the purposes of Chap. III of the Rules and of the Act. For it cannot be forgotten that the I.G.P. and the State Government both are delegates under the Act within their respective spheres and for smooth functioning are expected to co-ordinate and conform to the objectives of the Act sough to be achieved. Dalbir Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329. 26. Reservation for Scheduled Castes/Tribes/Lower School Course – We have reexamined the matter in the light of the various judgments and rules and find that rule 13.7 is substantially different in its applicability and essence for rules 13.9 and 13.10. It is to be borne in mind that as per the practice in the Department, no inter seniority of Constables is maintained and all Constables who qualify in of the rule and the Standing Order are entitled to be put on List ‘B’ for being sent to the Lower School Course. It is after ing the Lower School Course that a seniority list of Constables is framed under rule 13.8, and are put in List ‘C’ where in addition to other factors, the merit obtained in the course is to be kept in view. It is , therefore, apparent that the prescription of rest at the stage of the preparation of List ‘B’ in of Rule 13.7 is essentially a step in the process of promotion of Constables to Head Constables. That being the situation, it would be mandatory on the authorities to make the reservation as provided by Annexure R-1 at the stage of selecting candidates for being put on List ‘B’. The adequate number of reserved category candidates would not be reflected in List ‘C’ which concededly does constitute a link in the process of promotion. We are, therefore, of the opinion that Sardul Singh’s case (supra) is distinguishable on facts and does not help the case of the petitioners. The Division Bench in Ram Kumar’s case (supra) and the learned single Judge in CWP No. 5009 of 1985 (Constable Ravinder Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others) have not gone into the aspect of the matter as we have seen it, and have substantially relied on the observations made in Sardul Singh’s case. Sarbjit Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1991(5) S.L.R. 279 = 1991(2) RSJ 665. 27. Reservation of posts for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes – The Lower School Course is a promotion course for Constables yet subrule (2) of rule 13.8 lays down in no uncertain that promotion to the post of a Head Constable shall be made in accordance with the principles described in sub-rules (1) and (2) of rule 13.1. This sub-rule further provides that selection grade. Constables who have not ed the Lower School Course at the Police Training School but are otherwise considered suitable may with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of Police by promoted to the post of Head Constables though to the extent of 10 per cent of the vacancies only. Thus this part of the sub-rule clearly indicates that the qualification of having undergone a training may even be completely waived for promotion to the post of a Head Constable in the case of selection grade Constables. What sort of process of promotion from one rank to another and from one grade to another in the same rank shall be made by selection tampered by seniority efficiency and specific qualifications whether in the nature of training course ed or practical experience shall be carefully considered in each case. Sub-rule (1) of this rule further lays down that when qualifications of two officers are otherwise equal, the senior shall be promoted. A bare reading of this sub-rule makes it manifestly clear that to undergo a training course is only one of the qualifications which makes a Constable eligible for being considered for promotion to the next higher post of Head Constable. It is also clear from the phraseology of instructions P.1 that these envisage reservation to the post and not to eligibility or the training course. Ram Kumar and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(1) S.L.R. 435. 28. Rules also applicable to Armed constabulary – Even itting for the sake of argument that identification of higher categories of posts in the Armed Police with the corresponding posts in the District Police may require bit of head scratching, but there cannot be any dispute abut the fact that designation of the lowest rank in the Armed Police and the District Police is the same i.e. a constable constitutes the lowest rank in the two wings of the police and the first course that a constable is required to undergo is the lower school training course. Therefore, there cannot be any doubt that a constable of the Armed Police under the Police Rules which have already been held applicable to this wing of the police has to be sent to the lower training course in accordance with the relevant rule and that rule 13.7 of the Police Rules and therefore, one has to see whether the selection had been substantially in accordance with the said rule. Amrik Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(1) S.L.R. 324. 29. Scope – not mandatory – Rule 13.7 has not amended, altered or obliterated from the Statute Book, but its workability has been relaxed inasmuch as the parade test for the year 1982 has totally been done away with, for the class of Constables who would be selected for the Promotion Course. The suggested …. infraction of rule 13.7 with regard thereto cannot, to my mind, affect the validity of the selection made for the Promotion Course, for both the reasons, that neither the rule 13.7 is mandatory in that sense nor has it remained mandatory by relaxation of it s provisions under the impugned orders. Balbir Singh, Constable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1983(1) S.L.R. 109. 30. Second test during the currency of the year in which earlier test for selection for promotion – The mere use of the words “will be made in the month of January” does not mean that no second test can be held in any other month during the year. The rule is not mandatory to that extent. Moreover, there can be exigencies of Police service where the State Government may require more Police force in a particular year. In the present case, this necessity has arisen because the State Government had sanctioned 560 new posts of Head Constables in the Punjab State on the of the acceptance of Punjab Pay Commission’s recommendations. At the most, it may be argued that it may be mandatory to this extent that selection will be made in the month of January, each year, but it cannot be extended further that another selection by another examination cannot be made subsequent thereto. In this prevent case, that requirement of the rule had already been compiled with. In the nature of things and keeping in view that the exigencies of Police service, it is obvious that it cannot be held that the State Government is debarred to hold more than one test for selection in the same year. Babour Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1980(1) S.L.R. 279. 31.
Selection for being sent to Lower School Course cannot be equated with promotion – The process of selection for being sent to Lower School Course could not be equated to the consideration for promotion. Reservation for Scheduled Castes for deputing them to Lower School Course was not permissible and the constables be sent to Lower School Course on the basis of merit. In the return it has been stated that against the said judgment of this Court, a special leave petition is pending in the Supreme Court, in which the operation of the judgment of the High Court has been stayed. In view of the aforesaid judgment of this Court, on the last date of hearing the learned counsel for the State wanted time to get instructions from the Department as to whether the petitioner could be sent for the Course which has commenced in April, 1988. However, learned counsel for the State submitted that as per the instructions the petitioners could not be sent for the present Course as the Lower School Course had already commenced.

Suspension not a bar to depute for training. Attending the Course under Rule 13.7 of the Punjab Police Rules is a step towards promotion. Actual promotion is made subsequently. There is no restriction contained in Rule 13.7 that a person who has been placed under suspension can be kept back. It is only after infliction of the major punishment that it would operate as a bar for ission to or retention in lists A.B and C, as provided under the Punjab Police Rules, which his maintained for promotional purposes. The stage will only come when any major punishment is imposed on a Police Officer and not at the stage of suspension. Suspension per se is not punishment and it cannot have any effect on the rights of the constables to attend the Lower School Cousre, as stated above. For the reasons recorded above, this writ petition is allowed with the direction to the respondents to send the petitioner forthwith to attend the Course which is started in October, 1991. It is left to the authorities to appropriate orders on the question of promotion at the relevant stage, keeping in view the observations aforesaid and the rules on the subject.

Test parade prescribed under Rule 13.7 for selection. It was also pointed out that all constables, in any case, under the rules are required to once a year to the lines where they have to undertake drill and parade at a part of the normal unkeep, and for the selection of the present

The Police Rules, 1934 promotional course, such repetition is not necessary. Having regard to the view that I am about to take, the arguments put forth by the learned counsel are sound. Undisputably, the police rules provide that a recruit before he becomes a Constable has to undertake a training for parade and thus it goes without saying that a Constable is well-equipped in his drills. And for the selection of a promotional course, if his drilling skill is made to recede in the background but his knowledge of law is brought to the forefront, such step, to my mind, promotes efficiency in the police-force whose primary function is not only to maintain law and order in the State but also to prevent commission and detection of crime.
As analysed above, rule 13.7 has not been amended, altered obliterated from the Statute Book, but its workability has been relaxed inasmuch as the parade test for the year 1992 has totally been done away with, for the class of Constables who would be selected for the Promotional Course. The suggested infraction of rule 13.7 with regard thereof cannot, to my mind, affect the validity of the selection made for the Promotion Course, for both the reasons, that neither the rule 13.7 is mandatory in that sense nor has it remained mandatory by relaxation of its provisions under the impugned orders. Dalbir Singh and other vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 329. 34. Training—Petitioner selected and sent for promotion course—Recalled back after 1-1/2 months training. Petitioner were selected by the Deputy Inspector General of Police for promotion course of Head Constable. They ed the course and attended the same for 1-1/2 months when they were recalld by order of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. The order of recall was not a speaking order and no reasons were given when they had been recalled. It was stated in the affidavit that petitioners had failed to qualify the law parade test and the Inspector General of Police had refused to relax the Rule 13.21 of Punjab Police Rules. The order recalling the petitioners from promotion course was illegal, ultra vires and is liable to be quashad. No condition was attached that selection of the petitioners was subject to the relaxation of rules grantd by the Inspector General of Police. Rule 13.9 of Punjab Police Rules in so far it gave the powers of selection for ision to the promtoion course for Head Constables was ultra vires Article 16 of the Consitition of India. Udham Singh and anr. Vs. The Inspector-General of Police and ors. 1973(1) S.L.R. 1048 34.
Upper age limit of 30 years. It is to be borne in mind that constables enter the police force between the ages of 18 and 27 and under the rule, broadly speaking, they must be selected for promotio, before they attain of 30 or not at all. It is true that the prescription of the maximum age of 30 for selection for promotion is bound so result in hardship to a considerable number of constables, who, is not selected, are condemned to stagnation in service for a long period of 28 years. The may necessarily lead to frustration among those who fail to get selected for promotion. On the other hand, the very prescription of the maximum age of 30 for selection for promotion of a constable indicates that the istrative agency responsible for making the rules expects from constables aspiring promotion a display of their talent and their ability from the very commencement of their career. Apparently, the istrative agency is of the view that only those should be selected for promotion that exhibit from the very beginning such qualities as are considered necessary for promotion to higher posts in the police service. That, as already explained appears to be the scheme of the rules. It is not any one is denied an opportunity of being considered for promotion. Since ordinarily the maximum age for entry into service is 27, every constable has at least one chance of making the grade in order that he may be selected for promotion, the number of chances depending on his age on enlistment as a constable. A person who enlists as a constable cannot complain that those who have enlisted young have a large number of chances. No one has a fundamental right to be promoted; one has only a right to be considered for promotion. No one has a fundamental right to have a minimum number of so many chances to be considered for promotion.

1.
Bringing of name on list C-1 for promotion to the post of Head Constables. Rule 13.8(2) and instructions Annexure P2 clearly stipulate that entry in list ‘C-1’ has necessarily to be from the date of qualifying the Lower School Course and the order of merit. It is not disputed that the petitioners ed the lower School Course on the same date as respondents No. 4 to 8 and 10. The two petitioners were ittedly higher in merit than the

said respondents. If that he so then the action of the respondents was totally unjustified to bring the names of petitioners on list ‘C-1’ with effect from February 1, 1976 instead of September 29, 1975 or atleast October 1, 1975. Instead of correcting the apparent mistake, the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Hissar fell in procedural and technical wrangles. Nothing has been brought to my notice which may specify any limitation for correcting an itted clerical mistake and if that be so even a technical objection raised against the claim of petitioners has necessarily to be rejected.

D.P.C ignored petitioner for promotion for having short tenure of service. It is the case of the respondents that the Exemptee quota of promotion is meant only for those constables who are otherwise suitable for promotion as Head Constables but could not, for one reason or the other, qualify the power school course, and that promotion against the Exempted quota is given not merely on the basis of seniority, but the suitability for the official to hold the post of Head Constable has also to be adjudged. It is stated that the petitioners was not considered suitable for the said promotion against the Exempted in view of his very short tenure of service in the Police Department since he had worked for less than a year as a regular police constable after ing out from the Recruits Training Center in the session ending March, 1987. It is further stated that the normal channel of promotion to the cadre of Head Constables is from amongst Police Constables who have ed the Lower School Course for which selection are made on the basis of a test held every year and that the petitioners had not even attempted to compete in the said test though he had become eligible to do so in 1988.

Determination of seniority. The seniority of the Head Constable has to be determined by the Inspector General of Police on State-wise basis and not by the Deputy Inspector General of Police. On Range wise basis. I do not find any merit in this contention as under Rules 13.8 and 13.9 of the Rules, seniority of Head Constables has to be determined by the Deputy Inspector General of Police according to the Range and not on State-wise basis. This matter, therefore, stands settled and has assumed finality and there is no warrant for re-opening the same. Still, if confirmation of any Head Constable has been made or benefit of seniority of promotion has been granted to any Head Constable in violation of the aforesaid Rules and the right of senior persons have been adversely affected, it is the duty of the respondent authorities to look in to the matter and redress the genuine grievance of the senior Head Constables promptly.

Head Constables junior to the petitioners but on deputation with police Training College sent for the Intermediate School Course. We find that grave injustice ins done by the respondents in sending the deputationists to attend the Course, Rule 13.8 of the Punjab Police Rules as applicable to Haryana contemplates that confirmed Head Constables in order of seniority would be sent to attend Course, may be while on deputation. The right of the petitioners is jeopardised and they have genuine grouse. What will happen afterwards need not be taken in to consideration. Suffice it to say that rule 13.8 stood violated as far as the right of the petitioners is concerned Surinder Singh and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992 (1) S.L.R. 621=1992 (1) RSJ 733.

Suresh Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 1991 (3) RSK 490. The seniority of the Head Constables has to be determined by the Inspector General of Police on State-wise basis and not by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, on Range-wise basis. I do not find any merit in this contention as under Rules 13.8 and 13.9 of the Rules, seniority of Head Constables has to be determined by the Deputy Inspector General of Police accordant to the Range and not on State- wise basis. This matter, therefore, stands settled and has assumed finality and there is no been made or benefit of seniority or promotion has been granted to any Head Constable in violation of the aforesaid Rules and the right of senior persons have been adversely affected, it is the duty of the respondent authorities to look in to the matter and redress the genuine grievances of the senior Head Constables promptly.

List made in accordance with Rule 13.8. once a list has been made in accordance with rule 13.8 names therefrom can be removed only under the provisions of rule 13.8-A rule 13.13. Under the former rule the infliction of any major punishment shall be a bar to the retention of the name of a person or the promotion list and the Superintend of Police is bound to remove that name unless for special reasons to be recorded by him the name is retained but that also subject to confirmation by Inspector-General of Police is to supervise the working of the promotion list and he has the authority to remove Any name which he considers has been improperly itted on that list. The petitioner’s case is that he was brought on the promotion list early in 1965 and his name was illegally removed form that list by the second respondent. Shri P.C. Wadhwa has, on the other hand, stated in his return that the petitioner’s name was brought on list II and he its that he removed his name form that list. The question that arises is whether the petitioner’s names was every on list ‘C’ as contemplated by rule 13.8 and if so could to be removed by the second respondent when ittedly neither were any directions of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police under rule 13.13 issued to that effect nor did the contingency contemplated by rule 13.8-A ever come in to existence. On a reading of rule 13.8 (1) it is clear that only the names of those constables who have ed the Lower School Course at Phillaur and are considered eligible for promotion as Head Constables cab be brought on promotion list ‘C’ person who have not ed this course cannot be brought on promotion list ‘C’ under sub-rule (2) of rule 13.8 however, in the case of selection grade constables who have not ed the Lower Course at the Police Training School but are otherwise considered suitable may with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of Police be promoted as Head Constables up to maximum of ten percent of the vacancies in the posts of Head-Constables. Thus those constables who have not ed the Lower School Course may be promoted as Head Constables in a quota fixed form them without being brought on list ‘C’ . A reading of sub-rule(1) of course cannot be brought on list ‘C’. it follows, therefore, that if the vacancies in the posts of Head-Constables available then in the ten percent quota constables who have not ed the Lower School Course may be promoted but that does not mean that they are promoted as from promotion list ‘C’. They are promoted in their quota after selection form those who are considered suitable. For this purpose it would necessarily require that at the time when promotions are made selection grade constables who are suitable though may not have ed the Lower Scholl Course would be considered by the Superintendent of Police and if the selection mad y him is approved by the Deputy Inspector General of Police those person would be promoted to the post of Head Constables. Accordingly, the contention of the petitioner that he was brought on promotion list ‘C’ cannot be accepted as under the rules the could not be brought on that list and the return filed by Shri P.C. Wadhwa clearly states that he was brought on list C-II Shri Megah Singh, Constables vs. State of Punjab and others, 1971 (2) S.L.R 823.

Not sent because of stoppage of increment for one year. The main point which needs to be considered is whether the applicant could be debarred form being sent to the Intermediate Course which commenced form 1.4.1983. The respondent No.2. has pertinently mentioned that the applicant could not have been sent for this course, as Middle was one of the essential qualification and the applicant furnished middle certificate only May, 1983, this apart, it will be readily seen that in accordance with the view taken by the Full Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and others state above, the applicant could at best become entitled to be sponsored for this course, not withstanding the fact that a departmental inquiry was pending against him. However, as pointed out by the learned Addl. Advocate General, the ing of the Intermediate School Course was only one of the essential qualification under Rule 13.9. of the Police Rules of being promoted to the next higher rank and his suitability form the point of view of efficiency and integrity had to separately be determined before he could be brought on List ‘D’ which is drawn out for promotion to the next higher rank. In other words, there is considerable force in his argument that even if it is presumed that the applicant should have been sent for the Intermediate School Course on an earlier occasion, this would be of no gavial to the applicant as there could be no automatic enlistment in list ‘D’ without further consideration of his case form the stand-point of efficiency and honestly in of Rule 13.9 of the Police Rules. Apart form the fact that he was otherwise intelligible, (as he submitted his middle certificate in May, 1983), the stoppage of increment for one year temporarily would have, in all likelihood come in his way while considering his case for promotion under Rule 13.9 of the Police Rules. Further more, as ing of the Intermediate School Course in one of the essential qualifications for being considered for promotion to the next higher rank which he actually ed sometime in 1987, it would be difficult to accept the promotion to the next higher rank as from 1983 and should be consequentially given notional seniority as from 1983, over his juniors who were sent for this course. Amar Singh vs. State of H.P and others, 1989 (7) S.L.R. 701.

Reservation for Scheduled Castes/Lower School Course. In Ram Kumar’s case (supra) the Division Bench observed that by no stretch of imagination the process of selection for being sent to the Lower School Course in of rule 13.7 can possibly be held or equated to the consideration for promotion envisaged by rule13.8. The above observation in Ram Kumar’s case and Sardul Singh Case fully Cover controversy before me. There is , therefore, no escape from the conclusion that places at No,. 1,611 and so on could not be reserved for the scheduled castes

Reversion form the post of Head-Constable. With regard to the reversion of the petitioner form the post of Head-Constable so that the constable, in my opinion, the petitioner can have no ground for grievance. His promotion was in an officiating capacity and specifically on the term that he would be reverted to his substantive rank when Lower School Course qualified constables were available. According to the return of Shri Wadhwa, the reversion of the petitioner was made in normal istrative manner on 7.3. 1996 as three duly qualified constable were expected back form the police Training School.

Reversion form the post of Head Constable to that of Constable. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was promoted as Head Constable and he continued to hold the same for a pretty long time. He must earned increments during this period. The law is well settled that if any order detriment to the interest of a Govt.employee is ed, the concerned employee has a right to know the circumstance/background, which led to the ing of the impugned order. ittedly, in the instant case, no opportunity of being heard, was afforded to the petitioner. No reason in the impugned order for reverting the petitioner has been recorded. As such, the impugned order of reversion being against equity and violative of principles of natural justice is liable to be quashed.

Ten per cent vacancies of Head Constables to be filled up form amongst those Selection Grade Constables who had not ed the Lower School Course. The petitioner was illegal ignored for the lower school course before he became overage as well as thereafter and that his name was not considered for List C-II because he was on deputation. These allegation are denied by Respondent. No. 2 in the reply. In para 5 of the reply it is averred that the petitioner was considered for lower school course, but he was not selected, in para 6 it is averred that it is incorrect that the petitioner was not constables are considered for List C-II is a concession and cannot be claimed as of right. Only those constables are considered for List C-II who have become overage for ing the lower school course, but come to conspicuous notice for good work indicating fitness for further promotion as Head Constables and are recommended by officers under whom they serve, as person suitable for promotion. Thus it cannot be considered as a concession. It is a right of such selection grade constables who have not ed the Lower School Course to be brought on List C-II. However, it is open to the authorities not to bring on Lit C-II if , in their opinion, a particular selection grade constable is not found fit. But at least every selection grade constable who has not ed the lower school course is to be considered for bringing his name on List C-II Raghubir Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1982 (2) S.L.R. 627.

Training –Petitioner ignored. The petitioner and respondent No. 5 were deputed for Lower School Course in Batch No.5 in which they attained 24th and 33rd positions respectively. The petitioner was brought on C.I List prior ot respondents 6 and 7 and was higher in merit in Batch No. 5 in the Lower School Course. Official Respondents 5 to 7 to Intermediate Course in preference to the petitioner. ittedly, the petitioners in both the writ petitions are senior to respondent No. 7 Samundar Singh, who has not been confirmed as Head Constable so far. The interesting aspect of the mater is that the Director General of Police, Haryana, Chandigarh in Police Teleprinter Message, which is Annexure R-II to the writ petition, had allotted one set in Intermediate Course during 1990-1991, which was offered to respondent No.7 Samundar Singh. This clearly indicates that the additional seat was specially created for respondent No.7 for the reasons best known to the respondent-department. Had this seat been created for sportsmen category, the claim of other eligible sportsmen would have been considered and it should not have been created by name. Baljit Singh, Offg. A.S.I.

Training Petitioner recruited as Constable. COMMENTS
1. Ad hoc promotion – Reversion therefrom toe substantive rank—Validly of reversion. On the transfer of the Commandant who had promoted the petitioner, a new Commandant came and ed the reversion order without there being any reason to do so. Learned counsel stressed on different achievements of the petitioner in the field of sports as mentioned in the petition. There is no force in the contention of the counsel for the petitioner. Annexure R.1 is the order vide which the petitioner was promoted on ad hoc basis keeping in view his achievements in the filed of sports. It further provides as under:--His promotion is temporary, fortuitous and he will not claim any seniority over and above his seniors for this ad hoc promotion. He will be liable to be reverted without the formality of show cause notice. Since the petitioner was not promoted in accordance with the rules, i.e., after he had been deputed tot he Intermediate Scholl Course and in order of seniority, he could not claim any right to the promoted post. Under Rule 13.9 of the Punjab Police Rules promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector is made from confirmed Head Constables, who after doing Lower School Course, are placed in list ‘D’ maintained for the purpose. The petitioner was not promoted in order of seniority from the list ‘D’ as aforesaid. He was promoted out of trun taking into consideration his achievements in sports. Reversion from the aforesaid promoted post thus does not amount to punishment. Jagat Singh, A.S.I. vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 504. 2. Age of 40 years for the Head Constables. Prescription of age of 40 years for the Head Constables on attaining which they are debarred from being considered for the promotion course for Head Constables under Rule 13.9 of the amended Rules in unconstitutional and has to be struck down. Ram Labhaya, Assistant Sub-Inspector of police and others vs. The State of Punjab, through the Secretary for Home Affairs, Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R. 775. 3. Departmental test for promotion list D. Relevant rule governing the petitioner’s promotion and inclusion of his name in List ‘d’ is 13.9. On perusal of this rule, which has been reproduced earlier, it is apparent that there is nothing in it which empowers the Superintendent of Police or any other police authority to hold an examination before framing the list ‘D’ for promotion or deputing Head Constables for undergoing the Intermediate School Course. It is true that which framing List ‘D’ for the purpose of promoting Head Constables to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector, the authorities concerned have not to be guided by seniority alone but have also to otherwise judge fitness of the candidate, but in the instant case non inclusion of the petitioner’s name in List ‘D’ is justified solely on the ground that he had failed to secure a position of merit in the examination held for the purpose. Since it has been found that the examination, or the test prescribed by the police authorities, had no sanction in the Police Rules or any other law, the authorities could not disqualify the petitioner from being brought on the List ‘D’ for his failure to secure a position of merit in that examination. The result of the examination has to be totally ignored and if it has been taken into by the authorities in judging whether the petitioner is fit to be brought on the list, their decision stands vitiated and constitutes violation of rule 13.9. The petitioner was entitled to have his case considered for promotion and the inclusion in List ‘D’ without his having taken the examination and since his failure to secure a position of merit in that examination is the primary factor which has been used against him, the order of the authorities cannot be upheld. Ram Kishan, Head Constables vs. The Inspector General of Police, Haryana and others, 1968 S.L.R. 661. 4. Deputed as a result of his promotion in the Teleprinter staff. It is sought to be pleaded that since the petitioner is not a confirmed Head Constable in the executive branch of the police force and is only a member of the teleprinter staff, he is not entitled to be deputed for the course in accordance with the above noted rule. I see no merit in this submission for the short reason that merely on of his promotion and later confirmation as a Head Constable in the teleprinter staff, he does not ccase to be a member of the police force. He ittedly is governed by the Punjab Police Rules referred above. Almost a similar argument was raised on behalf of the respondents in Mela Ram vs. State of Punjab etc. 1979 Current Law Journal 213 and was negatived by this Court. Raj Kumar, Head Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 55. 5. Employee to be sent for Intermediate School Course. The respondent authorities are not in a position to produce any material before me to show that as a matter of fact the two alleged Cadres named as Executive Clerical Cadre and Executive Cadre in the Police Department were created by any competent authority. It is also not shown to me that while exercising their alleged options to continue to work on the clerical side the petitioners had ever given up their claim or rightr to be promoted to the next ranks under the Rules. Otherwise also it is difficult to accept the plea raised on behalf of the respondent. If the petitioners were brought to the clerical side or the cadre as those authorities choose to call it only as Constables, how and shy these people cannot aspire for or seek their due promotions in accordance with the Rules while remaining in the same branch or cadre of the Police Department? If they were brought to these offices as Clerks, why cannot they continue in these very offices as Head Constables or A.S.Is. or while enjoving still higher ranks? In the light of this I see no merit in the stand taken on behalf of the respondent authorities. Dhanna Singh and other vs. State of Punjab and others, 1986(4) S.L.R. 617. 6. Entitled to be deputed for intermediate school course on the basis of their seniority. I direct the respondent authorities to depute the petitioners other than Om Parkash to the next Intermediate School Course strictly in accordance with their seniority and the law laid down in the above noted Full Bench Judgment in Sardul Singh’s case. Since Om Parkash had ittedly been sent for this Course and was recalled during the pendency of this petition, he is directed to be sent to the Course forthwith. The petitioners are also held entitled to the costs of this litigation which I determine at Rs. 300 in each case. Phool Chand, Head Constable and ors. Vs. State of Punjab and ors., 1984(1) S.L.R.365. 7. Every Assistant Sub Inspector of Police has a right to be deputed for Upper School Course. It is clear that the instructions contained in the memo. Of the Inspector General of Police dated August 25, 1964, had not been approved by the State Government and had been issued the Inspector General of Police on his own authority. These instructions run counter to the Police Rules and were struck down by me as well as by the Division Bench which heard the appeals against my orders. In addition to the reasons given in those judgments, we are also of the opinion that the instructions issued in the memo. Dated September 16, 1933, and the memo. Dated August, 25, 1964, cannot be enforced as supplemental to the Police Rules because they were not issued by the State Government which alone had the right to make rules under the Police Act, 5 of 1861. According to their lordships of the Supreme Court, in Sant Ram “Sharma vs. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1967 SC 1910, the supplemental instructions can only be issued by the State Government which is competent to make the rule provided they are not inconsistent with the rules already framed. The instructions being void and of no effect, no selection can be made of the Assistant Sub-Inspectors of Police for being sent for the Upper School Course at the Police Training College, Phillaur. Whatever has been said above in regard to the first category of cases equally applies to these cases if we substitute list ‘E’ for list ‘D’ Sub-Inspectors for Assistant Sub-Inspectors, Assistant Sub-Inspectors for Head Constables and the Upper School Course for the Intermediate. School Course. In their cases also, the selection should be made in accordance with seniority unless any particular Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police is exempted from ing that course. While sending the Assistant SubInspectors of Police for training for the Upper School Course, the confirmed Assistant Sub-Inspectors shall be considered first, thereafter the Assistant SubInspectors on probation and last of all the officiating Assistant Sub-Inspectors. Sardul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others, 1970 S.L.R. 505. 8. Head Constables may be sent for the intermediate School Course otherwise than in accordance with their seniority. We also hereby direct that those Head constables who may be sent for the Intermediate School Course otherwise than in accordance with their seniority, shall be liable to be sent back from the course on this ground alone, regardless of the stage of the course at the time when this is detected.

The Police Rules, 1934
9. Head Constable promoted as A.S.I. with out ing Intermediate School Course--Can be reverted when qualified Head Constables become available. It is not possible to quash the order of reversion to the petitioners because they were holding the posts of Assistant Sub – Inspectors of Police in an officiating capacity and their reversion to their substantive rank was not by way of punishment nor cast any stigma on them. They had no right to the officiating posts and since better qualified persons became available, according to rule 13-9 of the police Rules, the order f reversion was legal,. Under rule 13-09, no Head Constable can be appointed a an officiating Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police unless he has ed the Intermediate School Course and is itted to list ‘D’. Sardul Singh, Head Constable vs. Inspector-General of Police, Punjab and others 1970 S.L.R. 505. 10. Petitioner eligible for promotion denied consideration on the ground that he belonged to general cadre of post. It is to be noted that there is Upper School Course which Assistant Sub-Inspector undergo for their eligibility for promotion to the post of Sub-Inspector. Rule 7-2 ibid provides that all gazetted and upper subordinate police officers except Assistant Sub Inspectors are mounted officers and are required to maintain a standard of efficiency in horsemanship which enables them to perform journeys on horseback and other duties with the mounted police. No doubt thee is a provision for granting exemption to some officers by general or special order. Recruits for the mounted police are either obtained by direct enlistment or from out of the foot police. Rule 7-8 provides that the reserve for the mounted police is embodied in the general reserve of head constables and constables sanctioned for fixed duties. Recruits for the mounted police are borne on the dismounted reserve until they are absorbed in vacancies in the mounted establishment. It is thus clear that an official from the general cadre who is equipped with necessary accomplishment of being a member of the mounted police is as and when the occasion arises taken in the mounted police. The petitioner in fact remained in the mounted police for a period of 21 years and he even worked as Riding Instructor in the Training School. It has not been brought on the record that he went to the general cadre of his own violation. The mere fact that he ed the Intermediate examination and was promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector, a post which is not available in the mounted police does not mean that for all times to come he cannot be considered for promotion to a higher post in the mounted police. In fact it appears that the personnel of the mounted police are drawn from time to time form the general cadre. Therefore, in case a chance for promotion to the higher post is available in the mounted police the petitioner along with other eligible officers ought to be considered for that post. Ajit Singh vs. the State of Punjab and others, 1988(7) S.L.R. 178. 11. Police officers deputing Head Constables in disregard of seniority. The complaint is of junior having been sent to the course in preference to the appellants who claim to be their seniors. It has, however, come on record that there were at least 300 other Head Constables senior to the appellants who had not so far been sent to the course. It was on this that the learned single Judge declined to direct the appellants to be sent to the course. While, no exception can, indeed, be taken to this view of the learned single Judge, this case does, however, bring out another glaring instance of the settled position in law being disregarded by the authorities concerned, while deputing Head Constables for the Intermediate School Course. Ram Phool, Sub Inspector and others vs. State of Haryana and others, 1992(5) S.L.R. 767 12. Promotion – Intermediate School Course. The petition has been opposed and a written statement has been filed by respondent No. 3 on his own behalf and that of respondents Nos. 1,2 and 4. It has been contended therein that the method of allocation of seats to different districts has been adopted by him through the impugned order “to prevent differences in the seniority of Head Constables”. A specific averment made by the petitioners in para 18 of the petition that in all other ranges in Haryana, i.e. Hissar and Gurgaon, Head Constables have been deputed to the Intermediate School Course on the basis of their seniority at the range level and that no further allocation on the basis of districts has been made in those ranges has not however, been denied in the written statement. By allocating seats for different districts in Ambala Range through the order Annexure P.2 respondent No. 3 had made an attempt to dilute the effect of the judgment dated 11.4.1986 of this Court. To say the least respondent No. 3 ought to have submitted to the verdict of this Court and desisted from circumventing the directions contained therein. It was conceded before I.S. Tiwana, J., in C.W.P. No. 771/1986 that for the purpose of deputing Head Constables to the Intermediate school Course, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police maintained a working seniority of confirmed Head Constables, and he deputes them for the course on the basis of that seniority. Rishi Pal, Head Constable and others vs. State of Haryana, 1987(4) S.L.R. 717 13. Right to be sent to Intermediate School Course. It is inherent in Rule 13-9 and a legitimate inference can be drawn from the language of this rule that every Head Constable on list ‘C’ has the right to be reputed for the intermediate School Course on his turn and no obstacle can be placed in his way by any of the authorities because it is a necessary qualification prescribed by that rule and there is no other institution from where this qualification can be required. If a Head Constable could qualify himself by ing the Intermediate School Course from any other institution, no obligation would have been cast on the Government to afford him an opportunity to that course and thus acquire that qualifications just as educational qualifications are prescribed which can be acquired by the candidates from any of the numerous institutions. Since this qualification cannot be acquired in any other way but by ission to the Police Training College, the Head Constable willing to undergo that course must be afforded an opportunity to do so. Since the number of seats for the Intermediate School Course is limited, the Head Constable can be sent in the order of seniority as stated hereinafter. Head Constable Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and ors., AIR 1970 Punjab 481 = 1970 Cur. L.J. 755 14. Selection of list ‘C’ for the promotion course. Selection of Head Constables on list ‘C’ for the promotion course under Rule 13-9 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934 as amended by Punjab Police (First Amendment) Rules, 1972 does not form part of the process of promotion of a Head Constable to the rank of Assistant Sub-Inspector and, therefore, the provision of a test for selection from amongst confirmed Head Constables for ission to the promotion course for Head Constables in ultra vires Article 16 of the Constitution of India as it puts a hurdle in their way to acquire the necessary qualification which alone will make them eligible for the next promotion No provision can be made for a test in order to select the Head Constables on list ‘C’ for ission to the promotion course for Head Constables under Rule 13-9 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934 as amended in 1972. Ram Labhaya, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and others vs. The State of Punjab, through the Secretary for Home Affairs, Punjab and others, 1972 S.L.R 775 15. Selection on the basis of efficiency and honesty. When a particular qualification is prescribed by the State Government, and in order to acquire that qualification the training course is also run by the Government alone, then it becomes a duty of the Government to afford the opportunity to all eligible Head Constables to qualify themselves for that course. Head Constable Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and ors., AIR 1970 Punjab 481 = 1970 Cur. L.J. 755 16. Training – Petitioner recruited as Constable. Petitioner was recruited as a Constable in the Police Department on July 9, 1971, and was promoted as Head Constable on November 1, 1975. He was further promoted as Assistant Sub-Inspector on December 13, 1983, and was confirmed as such on January 2, 1987. As he was not being considered for being sent to Upper School Course, he has filed this writ seeking a direction to the respondents for sending him to the Upper School Course. The respondents in their reply have taken the stand that the petitioner is working in the Wireless Section of the Haryana Police, so he is not entitled to be considered for being sent to the Upper School Course. Mr. Arun Jain, learned counsel for the petitioner, has referred to a judgment of this Court reported as Raj Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 198392) SLR 55, wherein it has been held that a member of the Teleprinter Staff is also entitled to be considered for being sent to the Upper School courts. I allow this writ petition and direct the respondents to depute the petitioner to the Upper School Course in accordance with seniority.

Selection for promotion course for A.S.Is. promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector. – (1) List ‘E’ shall be maintained for promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector in two parts in Form No. 13-10 in each range. The names of Assistant Sub-Inspectors who qualify the promotion course for Assistant Sub-Inspectors at Police Training College shall be entered in Part-I of the said list ‘E’. While entering the names in this list they shall maintain their seniority inter-se.

Inherent power of Inspector General of Police to recall a police officer sent for upper
school training course. It is the statutory right of a particular officer to take training in the prescribed course with a view to improve his chances of future promotion, it must follow that any obstacle put in the exercise of such a right amounts to an interference with the service conditions of such an officer. In ordinary course, power to interfere with service condition of a Government servant must seek it justification from specific and explicit provision of law. Such a power cannot be impliedly rad unless the implication is obvious and necessary. I am not referred to any provision of Police Act or Rules framed thereunder form which such inherent power in accrue of the Inspector General of Police cab be read by necessary implication. Under the circumstances, there is no escape from the conclusion that the respondent No.2, the Inspector General of Police, has no power to recall a person who is already sent to take course in training. Shri Sukh Dutt.vs State of Himachal Paradesh Simla and others, 1977 (2) S.L.R. 433. 2.
Natural justice—Civil consequences flow, the respondent No.2, has got any “inherent powers” to recall an officer who is sent for training, the question is whether such inherent powers could be exercised without complying with the rules of natural justice. It may be again repeated here that recalling of an officer form training course involves some civil consequences because such a recall would prevent him from ing the course in time and, therefore, other of his colleagues, who are equally situated would be able to the course earlier than him and this would enable them to get future promotions also earlier. It therefore, concerned would follow if he is not allowed to a particular course at proper time. Shir Sukh Dutt vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, Simla and others, 1977(2) S.L.R. 433.
3.
Power to recall police officer sent for upper school training course. The scheme of Rule 13.10 shows that once an officer is so selected , he acquires a statutory right to take that course because ing of that course is apre-requisit for future promotion to the rank of Sub-Inspector. It is evident that petitioner’s future chances for future promotions cannot be improved if he is not allowed to the course to which he is sent of training. The fact that the Departmental Promotion Committee has selected him for the said training, and the further fact that pursuant to the said selection he is actually sent to the college for the said purpose, fully qualify the petitioner to take the course and vest in him a statutory right which cab ne defeated only by a procedure contemplated by law ( which includes Rules). The taking of the course in question is specifically provided in rule 13. 10 which is substitute by Himchal P)radish Amendment Rules 1976, and so , the ratio of the above decision s applies to this case with greater force, in view of the fact that the petitioner, after being selected for the course, has been actually sent to the college for above referred to should e read in light of the provisions contained in Himachal Predesh Rules 13.10 of the amended Rules which do not give an unqualified right to an Assistant Sub-Inspector to be sent for training because the provisions of sub-rule (2) prescribe the rules of eligiblity for ission to the promotion course in question.
4.
Promotion fell due before amendment and when juniors promoted. There is no provision in the said Rule that an Assistant Sub-Inspector should the Upper School Course before he can be considered for promotion as Sub-Inspector. The rule was amended on March 9,1972, and thereafter it has been provided that an Assistant Sub-Inspector should the promotion Course before he can considered for promotion as Sub-Inspector. From a reading of the Rule is further evident that the ing for Upper School Course has been made compulsory for promotion only after the amendment of the Rule. Kishori Lal A.S.I vs. The Inspector General Of Police Punjab and others, 1981 (1) S.L.R. 650.

Reversion of officiating Police Officer. A police officer whose name has been removed form list ‘E’ cab back to that list if his subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit come justifies the same. Just as he initially comes on that list, similarly, after removal of his name from that list, he cab again come back to it provided his work or conduct is of outstanding merit and justifies the same. There is thus no permanent or prolonged bar to his coming back to the lists, the only condition being outstanding merit of work or conduct. If, after his name has been removed from list ‘E’ he improves himself and shows outstanding merit in his work and conduct, obviously his name may be restored to that list by the order of the Deputy Inspector General. So removal of such an officers name form list ‘E’ does not debar him from future promotion, nor does it indefinitely postpone his chances of future promotion, because once the Deputy Inspector-General finds that his subsequent work or conduct is of outstanding merit , he has the power to restore him back to list ‘E’ and thus place him in the line for promotion. If removal from list ‘E’ was a permanent feature which debarred such an officer form promotion in future or debarred his chances of future promotion indefinitely then that would be a penal consequences that would accompany reversion, if it follows with reversion, but this, as pointed out, is not so Rule 13.10 and 13.12, specifically provide for removal of the name of the police officer form list ‘E’ for cause and restoration of the same to that list in recognition of subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit of such an officer. So removal form list ‘E’ is not a permanent feature. It by itself does not debar future promotion nor does it defer chances future promotion indefinitely. It is left in such a case to the officer concerned to merit his being placed back in the list. The poison of such an officer is no different form an officer who has not yet come on list ‘E’ both are in exactly the same situation. Either will have to show outstanding merit in his work and conduct to deserve to come on that list and either will come on that list when he satisfies that test. It is this consideration of these rules which leads to the conclusion that removal of the name of an Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police from list ‘E’ which removal is always form cause as given in the rules, does not per se debar him from future promotion indefinitely defer his chances of future promotion. He alone is responsible for marring his chances of future promotion, if he does not shoe outstanding merit in his work and conduct. State of Haryana vs. Mulkh Raj, A.S.I of Police, 1970 S.L.R. 323.
13.11 Publication of List E in the Police Gazette. -- List E of each range shall be published annually in the police Gazette. Additions to the list may be made at any time by Deputy Inspectors- General but all such additions and the removal of all names under sub-rule 13.12.(2) shall be published in the Gazette by special notification. Names shall be entered in the list in order according to the date of ission, length of police service deciding the relative position of Assistant Sub-Inspectors itted on the same date. 13.12. Method of filling temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector—(1) In the filling temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector the object shall be to test all men on list E as full as possible in independent charges. The order in which names occur in the list should be disregarded, the opportunities of officiating in the higher rank being distributed as evenly as possible. An Assistant SubInspector officiating as a Sub-Inspector should ordinarily continue so to officiate for the duration of the vacancy, and should not be reverted merely because another Assistant Sub-Inspector senior to him is not officiating. This principle may, however, be modified if in any case its observance would result in of thoroughly competent man being deprived by a man markedly his junior of an officiating appointment of more than 8 month’s duration.

The Police Rules, 1934 The conduct and efficiency of men on lists D and E shall be at all times watched with special care. Any officer, who , whether in his substantive rank or while officiating as an Assistant Sub-Inspector or Sub-Inspector is guilty of grave misconduct of a nature reflecting upon his character or fitness for responsibility, or who shows wither by specific acts or by his record as a whole, that he is unfit for promotion to higher rank shall be reported to the Deputy Inspector-General for removal form list D or E, as the case may be. In interpreting this rule discrimination shall be shown between faults which are capable of elimination by 8experience and further training, and those which indicate definite incompetence and defects of character. Officers Whose names have been removed form either list D or list E may be restored by order of the Deputy Inspector-General in recognition of subsequent work or conduct of outstanding merit. SYNOPSIS

Promotion to temporary vacancy of Sub-Inspector of Police. COMMENTS
1.
Promotion to temporary vacancy of Sub-Inspector or Inspector of Police. It needs no argument to see that the plain language of the rule above said provides that seniority is indeed as insignificant, if not, an irrelevant consideration for filling of temporary vacancies in the rank of Sub-Inspector. That applies mutates mutandis to the case of officiating Inspectors as well by virtue of rule 13.16 (2) The primary and the declared objective for filling these temporary vacancies is manifestly to afford an opportunity for testing all eligible men on list ‘E’ as fully as possible by allowing them to hold independent charges. That the order in which the names occur in list ‘E’ should be disregarded and the plum of officiating in the higher rank should be distributed as evently and as equally as possible to the persons existing on the list. As if to put the matter beyond doubt, the rule lays down that a junior Assistant Sub-Inspector should ordinarily continue to officiate for the duration of a vacancy to which he is appointed irrespective of the fact that persons senior to him are kept out of such similar officiating posts. To our mind, there is no manner of doubt that the underlying principle of rule 13.12 (1) and as a consequence of rule 13.16 (2) is that promotion to the temporary vacancies of Sub-Inspector are not hide bound by seniority but by the overriding consideration of affording equal opportunities to all eligible candidates on lists ‘E’ and ‘F’ for holding an independent charge in the higher rank and to test there mettle in these posts. That being the position in law, it is apparent that the reversion of the petitioners to his substantive rank of Sub-Inspector can not and does not in the least adversely affect his seniority. The respondent-State is categorical in itting the seniority of the petitioner qua respondents Nos. 3, 5 and 6in the substantive rank of Sub-Inspector. Gurcharn singh vs. State of Punjab 1974 (1) S.L.R. 62.

13.14.
Promotion to and in the selection grades of sub-Inspectors- (1) Promotion to the various selection grades of Sub-Inspectors shall be made by Superintendents of Police and the Assistant Superintendent, Government Railway Police as vacancies in the sanctioned establishment of such appointments occur in accordance with the principle laid down in rule 13. 1 (2) No Sub-Inspector shall be considered eligible for promotion to a selection grade unless he has at least eight years approved service as an upper subordinate, of which at least five shall have been in the rank of Sub-Inspector, and unless he is thoroughly efficient and competent to hold charge of a police station of first class importance. No Sub-Inspector who has been punished by reduction, stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service for increments, shall be eligible for promotion of a selection grade. Exemptions to this rule may be made only with the sanction of the Inspector-General in recognition of distinguished service and exemplary conduct. (4)
Sub-Inspector promoted to the 4th selection grade shall be on probation for one year
and may be reverted without formal departmental proceedings during or on the expiry of the period of their probation if they fail to maintain an exemplary standard of conduct and efficiency. 13.15.

The Police Rules, 1934
1.
Competitive test is not permissible under the rules. The question whether a competitive test could be prescribed for a substantive promotion of a Sub-Inspector by including his name in List ‘F’ was specifically considered and answered in negative . This decision has, therefore, to be respectfully considered in deciding the first contention of the petitioner. It is not possible to control out the first contention of the petitioner in view of this decision. It may , therefore, be held or assumed that in 1965 the petitioner should not have been subjected to competitive test for a substantive promotion. His cause of action to make a grievance therefore arose in 1965 itself. He did not avail himself of the remedy of a writ petition to get that grievance redressed upto 1971. In the mean while the rights of innocent third parties intervened inasmuch as other persons have been promoted from the rank of a Sub-Inspector to the rank of an Inspector after being included in List ‘F’ These persons are not parties to this writ petition. If the petitioner is to be now considered for promotion of the basis of his eligibility in 1965 and is to be promoted as in 1965, his promotion would inevitably effect the seniority of some other persons. In view of the delay in attacking the validity of the test held in 1965,as also the injustice that would be involved in redressing that grievance now, the petitioner cannot be granted the relief of being entitled to be considered for inclusion in List ‘F’ on the basis of his eligibility in 1965. Mangal Dass vs. Lt. Governor and ors., 1974(2) S.L.R. 661.

Promotion. Deputy Inspector General of police, Border Range, Amritsar, has, inter alia, vide orders dated March 25, 1991 found that ‘the reporting officer had recorded these adverse remarks due to misunderstanding with biased mind. He has further found that the adverse remarks were expunged. In view of this changed position, it would be incumbent upon the respondents to consider the petitioner’s claim for being brought up on list F with effect from march 8, 1989 when the names of his juniors were included’ in the said list. Harminder Singh vs. State of Punjab, 1991(2) RSJ 217.
3.
Relaxation of rules. The departmental candidate when he was taken into service was found fit with regard to height and chest both. As regards height it was relaxed in the case of these two petitioners. They cannot be disqualified on that ground now when they seek promotion through the avenue of a competitive examination to the post of sub-inspectors. Once the authorities relaxed the standard of minimum height and enlisted the petitioners as constables in the Delhi Police this relaxation will hold good as long as they remain in the Delhi Police. It would be absurd to hold that the petitioners through the channel of promotion can go up to the post of a sub-inspector , though having a height of less than 170 cms, but for the channel of competition they are disqualified. Such an interpretation is not only absurd but also unjust. The initial relaxation was validly given under R. 12.15 of the Police Rules. This relaxation the petitioners can carry with them for appointment to the post of Sub-Inspector, whether as a result of competitive examination or by way of promotion. For these reasons I held that the petitioner’s disqualification on the ground of minimum height is invalid. They will be entitled to appear at the personality test. The parties are left to bear their own costs. Sunder Devi vs. Union of India and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 487.
4.
Rules prescribed tow stages for selection. Rule 13.15 contemplates two stages of selecting, namely-(1) selection by the D.IG. who then makes recommendations to the I.G. undre rule 13.15(1) , and (2) the final selection by the I.G. from those recommended by the D.I.G. under rule 13.15(2). If there are more than one D.I.Gs. working under an I.G. according to the distribution of the work, some of the candidates may be working under one and other candidates may be working under another D.I.G. The procedure adopted in constituting the Selection Committee consisting of the I.G. and the two D.I.Gs. seems to combined the two stages described above. In this Selection Committee the D.I.G. under whom the particular candidate is working would be “seeing” the candidate within the meaning of rule 13.15(1). There is a presumption that official acts are done according to the procedure laid down in rule 13.15. Unless, therefore the petitioner alleges that the other D.I.G. under whom he was not working interviewed the petitioner, the presumption would be that it is only the D.I.G. under whom the petitioner was working did above interview of the petitioner. Certainly, at the time of the interview the other D.I.G has seen and recommended a candidate, the I.G. there and then decided whether to accept the said recommendation or not. The procedure of selection committee was thus more expeditious than the procedure, which would ordinarily have been followed under rule 13.15. If such quicker istrative procedural efficient is secured, it is not for the court to strike it down by insisting of the less efficient procedure. The rest which will govern interference by the Courts whether rule 13.15 was compiled with substantially or not. Since the functions of D.G. and the I.G. have not been alleged to be performed Otherwise than as they are required to be done under rule 13.15 it cannot be said that the said rule is violated merely because these functions are performed immediately one after the other by these officers meeting together. Mangat Dass vs. lt. Governor and ors., 1974(2) S.L.R. 661
13.16.
Promotion to the rank of Inspector.—(1) Substantive vacancies in the rank of Inspector, save those which are specially designated for the appointment of probationers shall be filled by promotion of officers from list F selected according to the principles laid down in rule 13.1. Sergeants are eligible for promotion in the appointments reserved for European Inspectors.
(2) Temporary vacancies in the rank of Inspector shall be filled by the officiating promotion of officers on F list by the authorities empowered by rule 13.4 to make the appointment. Such officiating promotions shall be made in accordance with the principles laid down in sub-rule 13.12(1) in the case of E list, and the second part of that rule shall, mutatis mutandis, govern the scrutiny of the work of list F offers and the removal from that list of the names of those who are found unfit for the rank inspector. (3) No officer whose name is not on F list shall be appointed to officiate as Inspector without the special sanction of the Inspector-General, When no officer on list is available in the range for a vacancy which the Deputy Inspector-General is required to fill, application shall be made to the InspectorGeneral to appoint a man from another range. 13.17 Annual Confidential Reports. – (1) Superintendent shall prepare and submit annually to the Deputy Inspector-General, after obtaining the District Magistrate’s remarks thereon, reports in form 13.17 on the working of all Upper Subordinates serving under them. These reports shall be submitted to reach the Deputy Inspector General on or before 15th April. Deputy Inspector-General and Assistant Inspector-General, Government Railway Police, will add their own remarks and retain reports on Assistant Sub Inspectors and Sub-Inspector who are not on list ‘F’ in their own offices. Reports on all Inspectors, Sub-Inspectors on list ‘F’ and Sergeants will be forwarded by Deputy Inspectors General and Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police, so as to reach the Inspector General on or before the 15th May. In the cases of Indian Inspectors of the General Line, Sub-Inspectors on list ‘F’ and all Sergeants, Deputy Inspectors General and Assistant Inspector General, Government Railway Police, will attach with each report so submitted a duplicate copy thereof. Any remarks recorded by the Inspector General on the original report will be copied in his office on the duplicate prior to the return of the latter report for record with the duplicate personal file maintained in accordance with rule 12-38(1). (2) Reports shall be of three kinds, A, B and C, and shall be marked as such :A reports. – Reports in which for special reasons it is recommended that promotion be given irrespective of seniority. B reports. – Reports in which is recommended that promotion be given in the ordinary course of seniority. C reports. – Reports in which it is recommended that the officer be ed over for promotion or that the taking of departmental action on general grounds of inefficiency or unsatisfactory conduct be considered. In ‘A’ and ‘C’ reports detailed reasons must be given for the recommendations made. The purport of all ‘C’ reports shall be communicated to the officer concerned at a personal interview or, if this is not possible, in writing. Written acknowledgements shall be taken and attached to their personal files. In communicating such reports, the instructions contained in paragraph 7 of Punjab Government Consolidated Circular No. 1, shall be followed. Ordinary, the submission of two successive ‘C’ reports regarding an officer will result automatically in the institution of departmental proceedings against him on such charge as the contents of the reports may justify. (3) Superintendent shall submit annually to the Deputy Inspector General by the 15th April, confidential reports in form 13-17 on the working of all Gazetted Officers serving under them. Deputy Inspector-General will add their own remarks and forward the reports to reach the Inspector-General, on or before the 15th May.

1. Confidential reports. It is quite clear that an officer, who has seen the working of his subordinate at least for a period of three months, could only record remarks in the annual confidential report. Annexure P.8, which contains adverse remarks communicated to the petitioner, are for the period July 4, 1987 to February 29, 1988. During this period the petitioner was working with the CBI, which fact is not disputed in the written statement filed on behalf on the State of Punjab. It is quite clear that Shri A.P. Panday, who was then working as Senior Superintendent of Police, has occasion the see the working of the petitioner, and as per instructions aforesaid he was not required to record any remarks in the annual confidential report for the said period. The stand taken up in the written statement by the State, in response to the allegations made in the petition in para 20, is that the annual confidential report was recorded in accordance with the Departmental instructions and the Civil Service Rules. During the course of arguments no other instructions or Civil Service Rules have been pointed out to justify the recording of adverse remarks in the annual confidential report of the petitioner of the relevant period, as noticed abvoe by Shri Pandey. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(2) S.L.R. 424 = 1950 – 1988 RSJ(1) 311 2. Recording of adverse remarks in the annual confidential report – Representation against. No doubt, recording of annual confidential remarks is an istrative work of the State, and while disposing of appeal filed against such remarks, detailed reasons need not have been recorded as the appellate authority was dismissing the representation. However, when the petitioner had challenged the jurisdiction of the officer to make adverse remarks and had referred to the rules and instructions in his representation (Annexure P.9), it was expected of the authority to deal with such a point, while rejecting the representation. In such circumstances the order simply rejecting the representation was not called for. The order Annexure P.10, thus, cannot be sustained in law. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(2) S.L.R. 424 3. Reservation of posts - - Seats reserved for Women Constables in Patiala district – Denial of similar benefit in other district. A reference was made to the previous instructions dated December 27, 1984 on the subject of promotion system for Women Police. In Para 2, the existing position to fill up vacancies in Women Police Force was examined in view of the fact that general relaxation was accorded, to enable the women to compete in the test along with the Women Constables only instead with their male counterparts. After making reference to rule 13-21, it was observed, it was considered necessary to accord relaxation for a period of one year more as of the Women Police have not been able to compete with their male counterparts and further to undergo Lower School Course to merit their selection in B.I. test to occupy their vacancies in various ranks. Thus, instructions were given to make earnest efforts for filling up the posts of Women Head Constables (N.G.Os.) and Inspectors at the earliest. These instructions were so considered and seats were reserved in the district of Patiala which fact is itted in the written statement. If similar treatment is not allowed to Lady Constable in other districts, there would be straightaway discrimination. The contention of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents that from Ferozepore Range, there was no demand for reservation of seats for Lady Head Constables and thus no such seats were reserved by the Director General of Police while doing so in the case of Patiala as demand was raised is no justification in law. Kashmir Kaur vs. Director General of Police, Punjab and another, 1989(5) S.L.R. 79 13-18. Probationary period of promotion. – All Police Officers promoted in rank shall be on probation for two years, provided that the appointing authority may, by a special order in each case, permit period of officiating service to count towards the period of probation. On the conclusion of the probationary period a report shall be rendered to the authority empowered to confirm the promotion who shall either confirm the officer or revert him. In no case shall the period of probation be extended beyond two years and the confirming authority must arrive at a definite decision with in a reasonable time soon after the expiry of that period whether the officer should be confirmed or reverted. While on probation officers may be reverted without departmental proceedings. Such reversion shall not be considered reduction for the purpose of rule 16-4. This rule shall not apply to constables and Sub-Inspectors promoted to the selection grade, whose case is governed by rules 13-5 and 13-14. SYNOPSIS 1.

Reversion to the post of constable without affording an opportunity of being heard. COMMENTS
1. Bad record of service – Denial to promote justified. The other plea raised by the petitioner is that there was no justification for continuing him as an unconfirmed Inspector of Police for a period of fourteen years. The petitioner has stated that the likely reason for depriving him to the right of promotion to the post of Dy. S.P. was that a departmental enquiry was pending against him in which, however, he was fully exonerated by the S.P. Solan vide No. 1955-60 of July 1, 1976. We have carefully considered this aspect of the matter and feel that the petitioner has not made out any cogent case in his favour on this basis and has only referred to this matter in a very cursory manner. He has neither indicated as to when he was charge-sheeted, what were the charges against him and how this pending departmental enquiry was held to come in his way while considering his case for confirmation as an Inspector and his subsequent promotion as Deputy Superintendent of Police. On the order hand, the Inspector General of Police has categorically stated that the case of the petitioner for confirmation as Inspector of Police was considered in the year 1973, January, 1974, February 1975, and August, 1975 along with other, but the petitioner was not found suitable for confirmation due to hid bad service record. In this words, it was the bad service record and not the departmental inquiry which came in the way of the petitioner and this act has been confirmed by a perusal of the relevant record which has been made available to us. In view of this specific averment by the Inspector General of Police, based on the relevant record, and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we are of the definite view that the petitioner is not entitled to any relief on this count. Jamna Devi vs. State and others, 1991(3) S.L.R. 343 2. Petitioner not selected for upper school course on the basis of executive instructions being overage. It is the conceded position that the instructions of the Inspector-General of Police referred to above, were struck down by a Full Bench of this Court in Sardul Singh vs. Inspector General of Police, Punjab and other, 1970 S.L.R. 505. Thus in the light of this judgment it is patent that neither respondents Nos. 3 to 5 could be treated to have ed any equivalent course to the Upper School Course nor respondents No. 6 to 11 could be said to have been duly selected for being sent to the Upper School Course. That being the position the stand of the respondent authorities that these respondents were in any manner eligible to be promoted as SubInspectors from the posts of Head Constables and were eligible to be confirmed as such, becomes untenable. The selection of respondents Nos. 6 to 11 and the equivalence of the course ed by respondents Nos. 3 to 5 being void, the said respondents were as much qualified or disqualified as the petitioner was. Thus the petitioner has every right to be considered for promotion or confirmation along with these respondents who undisputably were junior to him as Head Constables. Ram Singh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1982(1) S.L.R 892 3. Promotion – Confirmation. From the Notification dated 20.2.1963, vide which the petitioner was promoted as an Inspector, it would be clear that the petitioner was promoted in the year 1963 purely on an officiating basis vice Inspector Ranjit Singh No. 1 N/14 of Mahasu when he went on leave preparatory to retirement w.e.f. 27.1.1963. As such, we fully accept the contention of the respondent that the petitioner’s case is actually covered under rule 13-4 of the Police Rules and not under Rule 13-18. In the order of promotion of the petitioner in the year 1962, it has nowhere been stated that he was to be put on two year probation and the petitioner does not seem to have raised this issue at any time before filing this writ petition in the Himachal Pradesh High Court. There is, therefore, no justification whatsoever in contending that his promotion was covered under Rule 13-18 of the Punjab Police Rules or for suggesting that he was on probation for two years and should be deemed to have been automatically confirmed with effect from 17.3.1965.

4. Promotion to officiate on higher post. Name removed from list it was by way of punishment. (1964) 11LR Punjab 84 5. Reduction in rank. Reversion with retrospective effect, during period of probation amounts to punishment only so far as it was retrospective. AIR 1962 H.P. 35 6. Reversion to the post of constable without affording an opportunity of being heard. The provisions of Rule 13-18 of the Police Rules may not in apply to the case of the petitioner since he belonged to entirely a different category of police, namely, the Mounted Police for which there is different training as per the provisions of Rule 7 of the Police Rules, yet the principles enunciated therein should apply, As has been held even by the Courts of law, a person having continued on a post for sufficiently long period even of officiating basis should no be reverted therefrom unless he has afforded an opportunity of being heard which ittedly is not the case here, In fact, our own High Court in Hiran Nand vs. State of H.P and others, (1981 1LR (HP Series) page 225) has held that even if a police officer is appointed on officiating basis he shall be deemed to have been on probation for a period of two years in of Rule 13.18 and as and when the vacancy occurs even if there is no such vacancy at the time of his initial appointment and after he has completed the stipulated period he shall be deemed to have become permanent thereon. In fact, instances are not lacking wherein the promotions have been made in the Police Department quite in deviation of the Police Rules in branches which require technical or special type of skill and expertise. Parkash Lal vs. Superintendent of Police and others, 1989(7) S.L.R. 571. 13.19. Special promotion to recipients of the President’s Police and Fire Services Medal and the Police Medal – (1) A constable receiving the award of the President’s Police and Fire Services Medal shall be promoted in the first substantive vacancy of head constable which occurs in the district in which he is serving subsequent to the award of the medal being gazetted. (2) A constable awarded the Police Medal shall, if not already in the selection grade, be promoted to that grade on probation as prescribed in rule 13.5(7). 13.20. Departmental Promotion Committee – In order to ensure that selection and promotion are made in accordance with the rules, Departmental Promotion Committees shall be set up at various levels. Such Committees shall arrange to put all eligible persons through a written test and parade. Thereafter those persons who secure the qualifying marks will be interviewed by the said Committee. The Committee will assess the merit of such persons on the basis of their service records as well as performance in the test. The syllabus for various test, qualifying percentage of marks, the composition of Departmental Promotion Committees shall be prescribed by the Inspector-General of Police in the form of a Standing Order. 13.21. Power of relaxation – Where the Inspector-General of Police is of the opinion that it is necessary or expedient so to do, he may, by order for reasons to be recorded in writing relax any of the provisions of this Chapter with respect of any class or category of persons. SYNOPSIS 1.
Requirement as to the recording of reasons. COMMENTS
1. Requirement a to the recording of reasons. Power entrusted to the Inspector General of Police to relax any of the rules cannot be said to be arbitrary as he is first to form an opinion that it is necessary and expedient so to do and then he has to record reasons in writing for relaxing any of the provisions of Chapter XIII with respect to any class or category of persons. The requirement as to the recording of reasons is a sufficient safeguard against misuse of power under rule 13-21 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934 which is held to be valid.

After holding charge of a police station for three years a Sub-Inspector shall ordinarily be transferred, either to another police station or to another post in the district. When the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police are in agreement that it is clearly in the interest of the public service that a particular Sub-Inspector should continue to hold charge of one police station for a longer period, a recommendation may be made accordingly to the Deputy Inspector-General, who is empowered freely to grant extenstions up to a maximum of five years.

1.
Transfer of Police Officer during pendency of Criminal Proceedings. COMMENTS
1.
Transfer of Police Officer during pendency of Criminal Proceedings. Not disputed that at the instance of Smt. Vidya Wanti, who is living in the house ading that belonging to the petitioner, some criminal proceedings have been instituted against the petitioner, which were under investigation at the time of order of transfer and which are still pending. The respondents’ answer to the challenge made by the petitioner is threefold. It has firstly been submitted that the offence for which the petitioner has been hauled up in a criminal case is alleged to have been committed by him in his private capacity and the same not having been committed by him in the discharge of his official duties, the provision of the abovementioned rule is not applicable in his case. The rule in question appears to have been couched in general language and I am unable to interpret in the restricted sense in which the respondents want me to do. It has secondly been contended that the transfer of the petitioner to Hissar was not on of the criminal case, but on of persistent complaints against him, to some of which reference has been made in the supplementary affidavit of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Ambala Range. Once again the prohibition in the above quoted rule is not to trnasfer on of some criminal case instituted against a police officer, but to the transfer itself during the pendency of any criminal proceeding, which might have been instituted against a police officer, until a final order is ed in respect of those proceedings. It is itted that no final order in respect of the criminal proceedings has so far been ed. I am, therefore, unable to give any of the second objection of the respondents. The third and the last objection to the petitioner’s complaint is that he was serving in his home district which was not normally allowed. Though no replication, in reply to the written statement in which this objection has been taken, has been filed by the petitioner, it has firstly been contended to Mr. Jagjit Singh Chawla, the learned counsel for the petitioner, that if the original relevant records are called for it would become clear that the home district of the petitioner is Karnal (the particular town being Panjpat) and not Ambala. Be that as it may, the learned State Counsel has not been able to show me the particulars rule which contains an absolute prohibition to a police official being posted in his home district. I particularly wanted to have a look at the rule to satisfy myself whether the bar, if any is to the posting of a police official in his home district or only in his home town. Moreover the greatest difficulty which I feel in this case is that even if some police official has been posted, contrary to such a rule, in his home district, such a thing would not have been any justification for avoiding the effect of the mandatory of rule 14.15(5) as no exception has been engrafted on that rule to the effect that it would not apply to a case where some police official has been posted against him in contravention of any particular rule. That being the case, I can filed no way out to avoid granting this writ petitioner, though I have no sympathy with the petitioner on the facts of the case. Moreover there is nothing in the above said rule prohibiting the petitioner being posted to any remote corner within the district of Ambala, and it for the authorities concerned to appropriate orders in accordance with law. All that I hold is that the order transferring the petitioner out of Ambala Distric during the pendency of criminal proceedings instituted against him in violation of rule 14.15(5) of the Punjab Police Rules cannot be sustained.

SYNOPSIS 1. Collection of amount to meet litigation expenses for a common cause does to amount to misconduct. COMMENTS 1- Collection of amount to meet litigation expenses for a common cause does not amount to misconduct. Constitution of India secures to all citizens of India, justice, social, economic and political. Judicial setup under the Constitution from Supreme Court to the Subordinate court is to achieve the object enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution aforesaid. Courts are open to all the citizens. Head Constables and Constables of the police force are also at liberty to approach the Court for securing justice. Sub-rule(4) of Rule 12.25 of the Police Rules if correctly interpreted does not put any embargo on the right of Head Constables and Constables to approach the Court. Rule 12.25 of the Police Rules provides for different types of misconduct. The recourse tot he legal proceedings can be had by one police constable or more police constables collectively of their grouse is common. If certain collections are made by those aggrieved constables, to meet out the litigation expenses the same would not amount to misconduct under Rule 12.25(4) of the Rules. Such an act, even otherwise does not infringe any law or rule relating to functioning of police force as such. That being the position, the petitioner could not be charge-sheeted for his act of collecting amount of Rs. 50/- each from other constables, to approach the Court for redress of their grievance.

A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political.
2.
Petitioner found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. COMMENTS
1. A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political. Under Punjab Police Rule 14-30(1) a police officer is prohibited from taking part in or subscribing in aid of any political movement in India or relating to Indian affairs. The provisions of rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules are somewhat similar. Under this rule a Government servant is prohibited from being a member of, or associating with, any political party or any organization which takes part in politics in addition to his being prohibited from taking part in a political movement or political activity. But what is politics? It is a word of wide amplitude and it is neither possible nor desirable to define the same. According to Oxford Dictionary this word means : “The science and art of Government; the science dealing with the form, organization, and istration of a State or part of one, and with the regulation of its relatins with other states.” The word “political”, according to this dictionary, means; “of, belonging, or pertaining to the state or body of citizens its government and policy, especially in civil and secular affairs; public, civil, of or pertaining to the science or art of politics”, and according to Webster’s Dictionary the word “politics”, and according to Webster’s Dictionary the word “political” means; “of or relating to government, a government, or the conduct of governmental affairs; of o relating to matters of government as distinguished from matters of law, of, relating to, or concerned with politics; of, relating to, or involved in party politics.” This shows before any party can be said to be a political party or an organization taking part in politics the party or organization should be propagating its views or ideologies in the art or science of government. It may be either ing the Government of the day or opposing it. A party or organization, which does not involve itself in these questions, cannot be called political. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police, Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768 2. Petitioner found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. The employees from Unions and put up demands. The social and religious organizations on occasions also make certain demands from the government. By no stretch of imagination they become political parties. The demand of implementing recommendations of Khosla Commissions, withdrawal of Court cases pending against Delhi policemen, removal of victimization and removal of restrictions on recruitment to Delhi Police, are not demands of a political nature. These demands are only to alleviated the sufferings of the Delhi Policemen. Be that as it may, before the petitioner could fall under the said Rules, it has to be shown by the respondents that either he was taking part or subscribing in any political movement in India or he was a member or otherwise associated with any political party or organization. The facts discussed above do not show that there was any political party or organization or political movement in India of which the petitioner could be called a member or otherwise taking part in it. I find that the enquiry officer, disciplinary authority as well as the appellate authority have not said a single word about there being any political party or organization or movement of which the petitioner had become a member or subscriber or er. In fact the enquiry report gives a finding on one aspect only and that is that the petitioner was present in the mass rally. Similarly, the order of the Superintendent of Police discusses the fact of the petitioner attending the rally. In fact this order shows that the petitioner was found guilty because he attended the mass rally which was held to the demand of some agitating policemen. This fact, as discussed by me above, does not ipso facto make the petitioner guilty under the said Rules. The appellate order is no better. Again, there is no evidence on record to show that any political party or organization or movement organized this meeting. In these circumstances I cannot but hold that the petitioner cannot be held guilty under Punjab Police Rule No. 14-30(1) and Rule 5(1) of the Central Civil Service (Conduct) Rules. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police, Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768 14-31. Irregular applications and recommendations – Prohibition of. – Police officers of all ranks are prohibited from applying either directly or through superior officers for promotion, when vacancies occur, and officers are prohibited from recommending subordinates for particular posts otherwise than as provided for in Chapter XIII, or if ordered to do so by the authority empowered to fill such posts. 14-32. Action if bribe is offered. – Every police officer, if at any time he should be offered a bribe, is required to make an immediate report of the fact to his official superior. Failure to Comply with this order will in itself be a breach of discipline. The offer of a bribe is a criminal offence, and all possible steps should be immediately taken to ensure that the offence may be brought home to the bribe-giver in a criminal trial in cases where circumstances indicate that such a course of action is feasible. 14-33. Police officers not to take up other employment. – Section 10 of Act V of 1861 absolutely forbids any police officer from taking up any employment whatever other than his duties under that Act, save with the express and written permission of the Inspector General. Such permission has been given generally so as not to debar police officers from engaging in casual literary work, to the extent allowed under the Government Servants Conduct Rules, from serving as examiners, or from engaging in an honorary capacity in the work of charitable, religious, or social organizations. The Inspector-General has the right, however, to withdraw his permission in any case in which, in his opinion, the interests of Government are prejudiced. The restrictions imposed by Section 10 of the Police Act are binding on police officers throughout their service, whether on leave or duty. 14-34. Regarding arbitration. – A police officer shall not act as an arbitrator for the settlement of a dispute except under the following rules :-

Communication of confidential reports and confidential nature of recommendation – (1) The following principles in regard to the communication to police officers of unfavourable remarks made by their superiors in annual or other reports of a periodical nature should be carefully observed:---
(3)
(a)
When a report is built up on the individual opinions as noted of different departmental superiors in gradation, it is only the opinion as accepted by the highest authority which need be considered from the point of view of communication;
(b)
as a general rule in no case should an officer be kept in total ignorance for any length of time that his superiors, after sufficient experience of his work, are dissatisfied with him; in cases where a warning might eradicate, or help to eradicate, a particular fault the advantages of prompt communication are obvious; where criticism is to be withheld the final authority to consider the report should record instructions with reasons, according to the nature of the defect discussed as to the period for which communication is to be kept back;
(c)
only those defects need be pointed out which can be remedied, since it would be serve no useful purpose to communicate such criticisms as lack of ability or intelligence;
(d)
the reporting officer should specifically state whether the defects reported have been already brought in any other connection to the notice of the officer concerned.
(e)
remarks in cases in which the local Government or head of the department or other officer suspends judgment should not be communicated;
(f)
great attention should be paid to the manner and method of communication in order to ensure that the advice given and the warning or censure istered, whether orally or in writing, shall, having regard to the temperament of the officer concerned, be most beneficial to him.
Recommendations for appointments, promotions, increase of pay and the like should not be mentioned to the parties concerned. Police officers should, therefore, be careful not merely to obstain from communicating but also to guard against the disclosure of information in cases of the kind, which should always be treated as confidential in official correspondence. (See also rule 15.22).
14.49
ing associations.—Government is prepared to grant official recognition to association representing distinct ranks of police officers, provided such association confirm to conditions which have been laid down. Copies of the rules embodying these conditions can be obtained by associations or proposed associations on application through the proper official channel. The formation of associations otherwise than in accordance with these rules, and the ing of any association or trade union other than a recognised police association by individual police officials, is absolutely prohibited.
14.50
Reports of death or injuries to police officers.-- (1) When any gazetted officer or upper subordinate is killed or wounded in the execution of his duty, or in circumstances arising from this duties, or meets with sudden and violent death in any very exceptional circumstances, a telegraphic report shall be submitted by the Superintendent under whom he is serving direct to the Inspector-General. In the case of wounds the telegram shall state whether they are dangerous, severe or slight. Such telegraphic reports shall be supplemented with the least possible delay by a detailed report in Form 14.50 (1). 3.
Death, other than those covered by sub-rule (1), shall be reported telegraphic cally to the Inspector-General in the case of gazetted officers and European upper subordinates in order that he may inform their next of kin without delay, and by post to the Inspector-General in the case of Indian Inspectors and to the Deputy Inspector-General concerned in the case of Sub-Inspector and Assistant Sub-Inspectors.
4.
On receipt of reports under sub-rules (1) and (2) the Inspector-General shall, in addition to communicating with the next of kin of the deceased or wounded officer, report the facts to the local Government. In the case of deaths of Europeans the particulars required for comletion of the return of deaths of European officials shall be added.
14.51 Procedure to be adopted in connection with anti-rabic treatment .. Police officers proceeding for anti-rabic treatment at the public expense should, when the journey to Lahore is cheaper than that to Kasauli, be sent to Lahore and not to Kasauli, unless the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals, Punjab, intimates at any time that fresh patients cannot be treated at the Punjab Bacteriological Laboratory, Lahore.

(5) Deputy Inspector-General shall check files of district standing orders and those issued by themselves (vide rule 1.6) at their inspections. 14.55 Use of force against crowds.-- (1) Instructions regarding the use of force by the police against crowds are as follows:--The use of force by the Police is regulated entirely by the provisions of the law. Those provisions are contained in Chapter V (especially Sections 46 and 50), and Chapter IX (especially Sections 127 and 128) of the Criminal Procedure Code. (a)
The main principle to be observed is that the degree of force employed shall be regulated according to the circumstances of each case. The object of the use of force is to quell a disturbance of the peace, or to jkdisperse an assembly which threatens such disturbance and has either refused to disperse or shows a determination not to disperse; no ulterior objects, such as punitive or repressive effect, shall be taken into consideration.
(b)
Any officer in charge of a police station or police officer of higher rank has power, independently of the authority of a Magistrate, to call upon an unlawful assembly to disperse and to use force to disperse it. (See Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code). When a Magistrate other than an honorary Magistrate) is present or can be communicted with without such delay as would prejudice the situation, an assembly shall not be called upon to disperse nor shall force be used to disperse it without orders of such Magistrate, provided that, if a gazetted police officer is presents, and no Magistrate having first class or higher powers is present, such police officer shall independently in ordering an assembly to disperse. In other cirucmstances the senior police officer present, having the powers of an officer in charge of a police station, shall act on his own responsibility, but shall communicate with and report his action to the senior Magistrate, who may be accessible, as soon as possible. Whether acting under the orders of a Magistrate or not, once the order to disperse a crowed has been given, the method by which force shall be applied and the degree of force to be used shall be decided by the senior police officer present; provided that, if the District Magistrate is himself present, he, as head of the police foce of the district, shall be recognised to be the senior police officer present. For the purposes of this rule a Sub-Divisional Magistrate within his sub-division shall have the status of a District Magistrate, i.e. he shall be recognised by all police officers of the sub-division as the senior police officer, and shall power to decide the method and degree of force to be used.
(c)
All attempts to disperse a crowed by warnings, exhortation, etc; shall be made before it is declared an unlawful assembly and, as such, ordered to disperse. Once an order to disperse has been defied, or when the attitude of a crowed is obviously defiant, force shall be used without hesitation. The degree of force used shall be the minimum which the responsible officer, with the exercise of due care and attention, decides to be necessary for the effective jdispersal of the crowd and the making of such arrests as may be desired. The degrtee and duration of the used of roce shall be limited as much as possible, and the least deadly weapon which the circumstances permit shall be ued.
(d)
The effectivenss of force depends mainly upon the determination with which it is applied; its direction against the most defiant section of the crowd to be dispersed and its absolute control. Failure to act on this principle results inevitably in more force being applied and more dangerous weapons being used than would otherwise have been necessary. It is not possible to lay down any more definate rule as to when different mthods different weapons shall be used. The officer responsible is requried to decide this in each case on consideation of the strength and attitude of the crowd to be dispersed, and the strength of the force available for its dispersla.
(e)
When the responsible police officer, whether acting under th orders of a Magistrate or independentlhy, considers that the juse of firearms is necessary, he shall, unless circumstances make such action impossible, warn the crowd that if they do not immediately disperse, fire with live ammunition will be opened upon them. If the District Magistrate or, in a sub-division, the-sub-divisoinal offier is present, his orders shall invariably be obtained immediately the necessity of opening fire becoems imminent.
(f)
In order that the decision to open fire may be promply acted upon without loss of control or confusion, the responsible police officer shall, as soon as it appears likely that the use of firearms will be necessary, tell off a detachment of armed police to be held in readiness. When fire is to be opened, the responsible police officer shall decide the minimum volume necessary to be effective in the circumstances and shall give precise orders accordingly, as to the particular men or files who are to fire and the number of rounds to be fired; and whether volleys or independent aimed shots are to be fired, and shall ensure than this orders are not exceeded and that no firing contrary to or without orders takes place. Whatever volume of fire is ordered, it shall be applied with the maximum of effect; the aim shall be kept low and directed at the

The Police Rules, 1934 most threatening parts of the crowd; in no circumstances shall firing over the heads of or at the fringes of the crowd be allowed. Since buckshot is not an effective charge at any range at which it is safe to use it, Government has directed that the use of buckshot ammunition against crowds should be prohibited.
(g) When no Magistrate is present, the police officer in command, as is contemplated in the Criminal Procedure Code, shall be responsible for the opening of fir Invaribaly, whether the order to use firearms has been given by a Magistratre, or by a police officer, the order to cease fir shall be given as soon as the unlawful assembly shows disposition to retire or disperse. (h) While the disposition of the police must be left to the police officer in command, every precaution should be taken that a force armed with firearmss is not brought so close to a dangersous crowd, as to risk it either being overwhelmed by numbers or being forced to inflict heavy casualties. If the use of firearms cannot be avoided, firing should be carried out form a distance sufficient to obviate the risk of the force being rushed and to enable strict fire-control to be maintained. (i)
On occasions of religious festivals police carrying firearms should ordinarily not be employed to escort processions. They should be posted in front or in the rear of the procession where they are in least danger of being thrown in to confusion by the mob and cab be kept under the control of the officer in command and their petty officers.
(j) On occasions when firearms have been used against unlawful assemblies it should be the duty of the Magistrate, if one is present, to make adequate arrangements for the care of the wounded persons and for their removal to hospital and also for the disposal of the dead, if any. He should also, then and there, draw up a full report in consulation with the senior police officer present, stating all the circumstances and noting the number of rounds of ammunition issued and expended. If no Magistrate is present, this report shall be prepared by the senior police officer who shall also take all possible action with regard to wounded and dead, (2) The following instruction govern the action of the police when the use of military force becomes necessary:--(a)
A police officer, of whatever rank, has no authority to require any officer, commissioned or non-commissioned, in command of a military detachment to use force in dispersing a crowd. Any Magistrate may make such a requisition ( Section 130, Criminal Procedure Code) and, in emergencies when no Magistrate can be communicated with, commissioned officer of the regular army may himself order military force to be used. When no Magistrate is available and troops are present and their intervention is, in the opinion of the senior police officer present necessary, that officer shall inform the senior commissioned regular army officer present of the situation, requesting his assistance in of the police if necessary. The military officer receiving such report will decide whether to act on it.
(b) When military force has been set in motion for the dispersal of a crowd, any police force previously employed in with such crowd shall be withdrawn to prevent confusion. The senior police officer present and the officer commanding the troops shall confer as to the method and exact time of such withdrawal, and as to the subsequent employment of the police provided that , if the District Magistrate is down absolutely, the normal procedure should be for the police to be so withdrawn as to leave a free field of action to the troops, and to be used thereafter (a) in of the troops for making arrests and pursuing a broken mob, (b) for guarding the flanks and rear of the troops form attack and preventing the out break of disturbance in other areas. (c) It must be noted that, when the order to disperse and unlawful assembly by military force has been give, the senior police officer on the spot and all police at the time within the area where military force is being employed come under the orders of the senior military officer present, who is in charge of the operation of dispersal, and remain under the his orders to this extend and for the period necessary, but the latter must consult the senior police officer present in any action he thinks it necessary to take. When control of the situation is definitely handed over by the senior civil officer to the military authorities, the police force come fully under military control. (NOTE.—These instructions are in conformity with the secret instructions on the subject issued by the Government of India, Army Department). (3) Only an officer in charge of police station ( and police officer superior in rank of virtue of Section 551, Criminal Procedure Code) can act under Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code. When any other police officer encounters an unlawful assembly, he should immediately send for a Magistrate or a police officer empowered to act under Section 127, Criminal Procedure Code. Should be unlawful assembly commit any overt act of violence before the arrival of such Magistrate or police officer, the senior police officer on the spot, in virtue of other powers conferred by the law, should take such action as is necessary to deal with the situation. Section 149, Criminal Procedure Code, empowers every police officer to interpose for the purpose of preventing, and requires that every police officer shall , to the best of his ability, prevent the commission of any cognizable offence. Section 152, Criminal procedure Code empowers a police officer of his own authority to interpose to prevent shall police officers have the same right of private defence which is granted to every person.

1.
Disciplinary action Wrong rule quoted. Error is not fatal to enquiry. Inspector General of Police, Punjab vs. Amrik Singh, AIR 1973 Punjab 214=1973 Cur. LJ 45
2.
Distinction between “reduction” and stoppage of increment. Rule 16(1) of the Punjab Police Rules makes a clear distinction between “reduction” and stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service for increment, the two being distinct and separate punishments permissible under that rule. State of Punjab vs. Shri Kishan Das, 1971(2) S.LR. 174
3.
Expression “Reduction in rank” in Article 311(2). Respondent being constable, there was no question of his being reduced from a her post or rank to a lower post or rank. The order, nonetheless, reduced the emoluments received by him as it deprivted him of the increments earned by him as result of the approved service, he had put in having been forfeited. It also effected his seniority, and therefore, chances of promotion. The expression ‘Reduction in rank’ in Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India means reduction from a higher to a lower rank or post when imposed as a penalty. An order forfeiting the past service which has earned a Government servant increments in the post of rank he holds, howsoever adverse it is to him affecting his seniority within the rank to which he belongs or his future chances of promotion, does not attract Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India. The remedy is confined to the rules of service governing the post held by Government servant. State of Punjab vs. Shri Kishan Das, 1971 (2) S.LR. 174.
4.
Forfeiture of approved service. Section 7 of the Police Act, 1861, as applicable in the Union Territory of Delhi, had not been amended so as to incorporate the punishment of forfeiture of approved service. The respondents have not even field their counter affidavit. Thus it is to be held that during the relevant period when the said rule was enforced in Delhi the said punishment under Rule 16.1(2) could not be impunishment in question was imposed on the petitioner. Ram Pat vs. Union of India and others, 1984(3) S.LR. 756.
5.
Order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank of the appointing authority. Submission is that the order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank to the appointment is that the order of dismissal by an authority lower in rank to the appointing authority alleged. The submission has no merit because it was a Senior Superintendent of Police who had promoted the petitioner to the rank of Head Constable by the order dated 27.2.1957 and the order of dismissal is by an officer holding the rank of Superintendent of Police. We cannot accept the contention that the dismissing authority was below the rank of the appointing authority. In both cases the authority was a Superintendent of Police. Seniority in service did not cause any disparithy in rank. We find from the observation contained in a Full Bench judgment of his Court in Union of India vs. Surajbhan dated the 23rd of May 1969 by which LPA No. 86-D/65 was disposed of. It was noticed in that judgment that in of Rule 16.1(2) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, a Superintendent of Police was expressly empowered to dismiss even an Assistant Sub-Inspector. The Full Bench

The Police Rules, 1934
had relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court reported in Union of India vs. Jagit Singh, 1969 Services Law Reporter 356. In our view, the Superintendent of Police was competent to the impugned order of dismissal because he was not subordinate to the authority namely, the Senior Superintendent of Police, by whom the petitioner had been appointed. Shri Ibqal Singh, Ex-Head Constable Police vs. Inspector General of Police, Delhi and others, 1971(2) S.LR. 257 6.
Re-employed—Competency to hold enquiry as Police Officer. A re-employed Deputy Supdt. of Police who had previously retired as Deputy Supdt. of Police, was still a Police Officer after he was re-employed and as such was competent to hold enquiry as Police Officer. Union of Indai vs. Jagit AIR 1970 SC122= 1969 Cur. L.J. 438
7.
Stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service It is undoubtedly true that some punishments would have been emumerated in both parts of Section 7. But there is nothing to suggest that this enumeration is fully exhaustive in nature. The types of punishments which are contemplated by Section 7 in both of its parts are merely enumerative. The section also does not say anything to the effect that no punishment other than that which is specified in the Section could be awarded to a delinquent officer. In our opinion, therefore, it is clear that Section 7 does not debar the rule make authority to prescibe the form of punishment which is not enumerated therein. That being the position, it is not possible to say that the punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service is in any manner contrary to the provisions of Section 7. Shri Bhagat Ram vs. Inspector General of Police, Himachal Pradesh and others, 1979(3) S.L.R. 256 (For Punjab)

When a police officer is convicted judicially and dismissed, or dismissed as a result of a departmental enquiry, in consequence of corrupt practice, the conviction and dismissal and its cause shall be published in the police Gazette. In other cases of ployed elswhere, a full descriptive roll with particulars of the punishments, shall be sent for publication in the police Gazette. (For Haryana)
16.2.
Dismissal –Dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct as the cumulative effect of continued misconduct proving incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. In making such n award regard shall be had to the length of service of the offender a and his claim to pension. “Explanation- For the purposes of sub-rule(1) , the following shall, inter alia, be regarded as gravest acts of misconduct in respect of a police officer, facing disciplinary action(i)

1.
Absence without leave-does not amount to gravest act of misconduct. This Court has in a number of cases gone in to the matter in order to find to what would really constitute a gravest act of misconduct. A number of cases have been cited before us but we have chose to pick up only one which deals with the question of absence without leave. In Darshan Singh case, the learned single Judge has held that absence without leave for almost 13 months would not in the circumstance that case amoutn to the gravest act of misconduct. State of Punjab vs. Parlash. Chand, Constable, 1992 (1) S.L.R. 174.
2.
Adequacy or inadequacy of punishment. It must also be mentioned here hat the punishment of dismissal form service should be awarded for gravest act of misconduct. According to rule 19, the punishing authority is to decide whether the punishment awarded is adequate or inadequate. On same principle, while deciding the review petition, the Reviewing Authority is to decide whether the punishment awarded is adequate or inadequate taking in to consideration the length or service, record of service and the nature of charges against the petitioner. Sucha Singh, ExInspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (4) S.L.R. 560.
3.
Amendment-Prior approval of Central Government in Rule 16.2, by virtue of the change effected, does not in any way affect the conditions of service of a police employee. So, the question prior permission of the Central Government before effecting the amendment, as envisaged in Section 82 of the Act, does not arise. State Singh, Countable and others vs. State of Punjab and others, 1987 (4) S.L.R. 28.
4.
An act of police officer being drunk while on duty is an act of gravest misconduct. The act of a police officer being frank while on duty would amount to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) of the Rules. It is not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mention in the impugned order about the length of service put in by a delinquent officer which was already a part of the record and was wellknown. The learned Single Judge has set aside the impugned order of punishment taking this as the second ground. Accordingly, we upset the reasoning of the learned Single Judge in this regard. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981 (3) S.L.R. 130
5. Claim to pension not considered at the time of ing the order of dismissal. The impugned order doe not indicate that the punishing authority examined the claim of the plaintiff for pension having regard to the length of his service. It is undisputed that the plaintiff had 7-1/2 years service to his credit on the date the order of dismissal was ed. The rule ened upon the disciplinary authority while awarding the punishment of dismissal from service to take into consideration the length of service of the delinquent official and his claim to pension. The impugned order does not indicate that the disciplinary authority took into consideration the length of service of the plaintiff and his claim to pension. The order of dismissal being in violation of the statutory rule was rightly held to be invalid. The judgments of the Courts below suffer from no infirmity. The same are upheld. State of Haryana and another vs. Lachman Singh through L.Rs., 1991(2) RSJ 398 6. Competent authority fully applied his mind before order of dismissal. The order of dismissal ed on 24.4.1976 is illegal and void because no show-cause notice was given to the plaintiff-respondent before ing the impugned order of dismissal. In of his argument the learned counsel has relied upon a decision of the Supreme Court in Divisional Personnel Officer, Southern Railway and another vs. T.R. Challappan, (1976)1 SCR 783, which has been overruled by a later decision of the Supreme Court in Tulsiram Patel’s case (supra). The plaintiff-respondent was convicted and had to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six moths. The Senior Superintendent of Police, who was the appointing authority, ed the impugned order Exhibit P-1 on 20.4.1976 dismissing the plaintiff-respondent from service. The order is a detailed one and it clearly shows that the punishing authority had fully applied its mind while ing the order. No show-cause notice was necessary to be issued to the plaintiff-respondent in this behalf. The impugned order is, therefore, legally valid. The finding of the lower appellate Court on issue Nos. 1 is set aside. Issue No. 1 is, therefore, decided against the plaintiff-respondent. State of Punjab and others vs. Nachhattar Singh, Constable, 19991 (5) S.L.R. 451=1991(1) RSJ 368

The Police Rules, 1934
7. Conviction—Effective date of dismissal. The petitioner shall be presumed to be in the know of rule 16.2 (2). It was, therefore, within the knowledge of the petitioner that he stood dismissed from service in of rule 16.2(2) consequent upon the dismissal of his criminal appeal by the High Court on 28.9.1973. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the impugned order of dismissal shall be effective w.e.f. 3.5.1978 when it was communicated to the petitioner cannot be upheld. The petitioner has been dismissed from police force w.e.f. 30.8.1972 when he was convicted and sentenced by the Sessions Judge, Roper. The petitioner stood dismissed from service or a formal order of his dismissal could be ed w.e.f. 28.9.1973 when his criminal appeal was dismissed by the High Court. The petitioner, therefore shall be taken to have been dismissed from police force w.e.f. 28.9.1973 and not w.e.f. 30.8.1972. Sucha Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 11 8. Departmental enquiry—Failure to hold. The provisions of Article 311(2)(b) have been arbitrarily invoked in this case. The findings have been arrived at the recorded by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, on the basis of suspicion and confidential inquiry. These inquiries cannot take the place of a regular inquiry as envisaged in Article 311(2) of the Constitution, read with Section 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules. I am of the opinion that it was obligatory on the Deputy Inspector General of Police in the present case to hold an inquiry as laid down in Article 311 read with Rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules. Failure to hold an inquiry would render the impugned order of dismissal from service as illegal and void. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991(4) S.L.R. 102 9. Dismissal from service having consumed liquor on duty. No doubt, even a single act of misconduct can, in a given situation, amount to the gravest act of misconduct, but the mandate of the rule making authority is clear that the punishment of dismissal from service has not to be awarded in a misconduct of ordinary nature. Ram Kishan vs. State of Punjab & Ors., 1990 (2) S.L.R. 488 10. Dismissal from service—Limitation. The High Court should have examined the plaint for finding out the cause of action for the suit and then in that light determined the correct article of the Limitation Act applicable to the case. Serious objection has been taken against the observations of the first appellate Court permitting the competent authority to inflict only moron punishment on the plaintiff in certain conditions and the direction about the payment of the salary and the other emoluments. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, we agree with the appellants that the question involved in this suit should not have been lightly brushed aside by the high Court in the manner it has been done. We, therefore, set aside the judgment of the High Court and remit the case to if for fresh disposal in accordance with law. It will be open to the appellants to file an application for itting additional evidence in regard to the further orders ed against Kahan Singh subsequent to the civil Court’s decree in his favor, and to argue before the High Court that the case of the present plaintiff is distinguishable. The High Court should call for the records and decide the case finally at the motion stage itself as the case is an old one. In the event of ission of fresh evidence, the high Court shall permit the plaintiff to file relevant rebutting evidence. State of Punjab and others vs. Nachhattar Singh, 1990(4) S.L.R. 264 11. Dismissal from service. Punishment of dismissal from service has not to be awarded in a misconduct of ordinary nature. Ram Krishan Constable No. 141 vs. The State of Haryana through the Director General of Police (Inspector General of Police ), Haryana at Chandigarh and others, 1990(1) RSJ 637 12. Dismissal from service. Second appeal by State dismissed in limine by High Court SLP. Service questions of law involved. Case remanded to High Court for first disposal in accordance with law. State of Punjab and other vs. Nachhattar Singh, 1990(2) RSJ 71 13. Dismissal from service for being absent from duty. A particular act may be grave or the gravest but an act complained of may not be such that is must necessarily prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. The dictionary meaning of work ‘incorrigibility’ is bad, beyond correction or reform. Only such a person can be said to be incorrigible who cannot be reform. Only such a person can be said to be incorrigible who cannot be reformed or corrected. When the word ‘incorrigible’ is used as an adjective, it relates to a person in a particularly given situation may be held guilty of commission one of the gravest acts but the punishing authority may still be of the view that such a person is not incorrigible and he can be reformed or corrected. The punishing authority may also be of the view that a person cannot be described to be one who is completely unfit for police service. State of Haryana vs. Lakhan Lal, 1991(4) S.L.R 82= 1991(3) RSJI 530 14. Dismissal form service on the charge of having committed gravest act of misconduct. It has been held that “no doubt Constable Ranjit Sing at Bakshikhana was responsible for the escape of Jagir Singh but the petitioner does not get absolved of his responsibilities as Incharge of the escort guard”. As it is the case of department itself that the petitioner was not directly responsible as such, but he being over all Incharge, was found guilty for the lapses on his part, it required consideration by the Appellate Authority as regards the punishment awarded. Under these circumstances, the order ed in appeal 04.08.1986 ( Annexure P-3) is quashed with the direction that the matter may be reconsidered by the Deputy Inspector General of Police and appropriate order which he may think fit be ed afresh. Balbir Singh vs. State of Punjab and others 1989(4) S.L.R 42- 1989(2) RSJ 540. 15. Dismissal from service. Constable is found under the influence of liquor while on duty is guilty of such grave misconduct which would entail his dismissal from service/ Ex Const. Koginder Singh vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1990(2) RSJ 757 16. Dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct. The Deputy Inspector-General has, however, made his mention in this impugned order Annexure P.8 the present single act of the appellant is of gravest nature and his case in no way deserves leniency. This observations has been made by the Deputy Inspector General in the context of this service record of the petitioner on the basis of which it was pointed out to him that the petitioner had by that time rendered nine years’ unblemished service and had done commendable work during the Indo-Pak War of 1971. But even this observation or the consideration by the Deputy Inspector General of Police falls for shot of the requirements of sub-rule(1) of Rule 16.2 ibid. It has nowhere been recorded by any of the authorities concerned that the petitioner was guilty of such ‘gravest’ acts of misconduct. The cumulative effect of which can go to prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. In the absence of such a finding the respondent authorities could not resort to the punishment of dismissal on the basis of the charge established against the petitioner. It is beyond dispute that the provisions Rule 16.2 are mandatory in nature and any order in violation of the same has necessarily to be set aside. Sukhdev Singh vs, State of Punjab and others, 1983(2) SLR 645 17. Dismissal Absence from office. After recording the evidence it has been categorically found by the Enquiry Officer in Annexure P.13 that “the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Gurgaon, was obtained on June 2, 1983, but Constable Shiv Charan did not reach Gurgaon till then. Thereupon, the Superintendent of Police ( Irrigation Department ) Chandigrah was approached, who replied that Constable Shiv Charan was relieved from the office on May 17, 1983 and he had not attended the officer thereafter. His whereabouts were required from the given address, but his house found locked.” This is primarily a finding on fact and, therefore, cannot be challenged in this writ petition. There is no error apparent on the face of the record, even if two views were possible form the evidence, the view taken by the Enquiry Officer and the punishing authority could not be said to be illegal as to be interfered with in the writ jurisdiction, The scope of the writ jurisdiction is very limited and it is not in the nature of the appeal. Shiv Charan, Constable vs. The Superintendent of Policem Gurgaon and ors., 1988(3) S.L.R 253 18. Dismissal After conviction in a criminal case. A Government servant cannot be dismissed from service merely on the ground that his conviction was recorded on a criminal charge by a criminal court. In others words dismissal from service after conviction on a criminal charge is not essentially on automatic consequence of said conviction and the competent authority has to consider all the circumstances of the case and then to decide whether the conduct of delinquent official which led to his conviction is such as to render his further retention in public service understandable. In of his submission, the learned counsel relied upon Om Parkash vs. The Director Postal Services ( Posts and Telegraph Deptt ) Punjab Circle, Ambala and others, AIR 1973 Punjab and Haryana 1 and Gurbachan Dass vs. The Chairman, Posts & Telegraphs Board, Ministry of Communication, Government of India, New Dehli and others, 1983(1) SLR 729. In Om Parkash’s case ( Supra ) the Bench was interpreting Rule 19(i) of the Central Civil Service ( Classification, Control and Appeal ) Rules, 1965 ). Interpreting this rule, the Bench held that an order of dismissal or removal or for compulsory retirement can be ed under the rule 19(i) (without conforming to the procedure prescribed in Rule 14 to 18 ) not on the basis of the conviction, but only if the competent authority finds that the relevant misconduct of the Government servants renders his further retention in public service undesirable. An order imposing a punishment on a Government servant simply because of his conviction on of his conviction on a criminal charge without reference to the conduct which led to his conviction on a criminal charge without reference to the conduct which led to his conviction is not sustainable. Randhir Singh, Ex-Constable vs. State of Haryan and others 1991(3) S.L.R. 719. 19. Dismissal – Misconduct attributed – Whether was of the ‘gravest’ type. The penalty of dismissal from service can be awarded only for ht gravest act of misconduct and the penalty of dismissal from service could not be imposed on the petitioner on the proved facts and circumstances of the case. It was incumbent on respondent No.3 to come to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was a gravest act of misconduct. It was also necessary for the punishing authority to take into consideration the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension before he could be awarded the penalty of dismissal from service. The disciplinary authority did not take note of the mandatory provisions of the aforesaid sub-rule before ing the order of dismissal.

The disciplinary authority also did not take into consideration the length of service of the petitioner for his claim to pension before awarding the penalty of dismissal . On this ground too, the order of dismissal from service cannot sustained. Bhim Singh vs. State and others, 1991 (3) S.L.R. 721=RSJ 408 20. Dismissal—Review –Property of dismissal. – As to the effect of the order of the Deputy Inspector-General dated 22nd November 1978, setting aside the earlier dismissal order dated 3rd October 1977, ed by the Senior Superintendent of Police, it may observed that the same, VIZ., the earlier order dated 3rd October, 1977, ed by the Superintendent of Police was clearly illegal as it had been ed in violation of the provisions of unamended rule 16.2 of the Police Rules because under the unamended Police Rule 16.2, as already observed, the orders of dismissal have to await the decision of the appeal or the revision, but the Senior Superintendent of Police ed the order of dismissal during the pendency of the appeal. It was, therefore, rightly set aside by Duputy Inspector General of Police by his order dated 22nd November, 1978. The impugned order dated 11th June, 1979 has been ed by the competent authority under rule 16.2 as amended, which of the employee concerned. This order cannot be said to be an order of review of the order of the D.I.G., dated 22nd November, 1978, Satnum Singh, Constable and others vs. State and others, 1987(4)S.L.R 28 21. Expression “the gravest act of misconduct” Meaning of. – The first contention raised on behalf of the petitioners is that although he was ittedly guilty of misconduct, such misconduct could not be classified as “the gravest act of misconduct” within the meaning of the sub-rule. The contention appears to be well-founded. It is true that generally speaking, it is for the punishing authority to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide upon the suitability of punishment and it is not within the ambit of the powers of this Court to interfere with the direction of that authority. But then there is an important exception to this rule and that is the Court will strike down in order which has been ed want only or arbitrarily (vide Bhagwat Parsad vs. Inspector General of Police and others, 1967 SLR 807). In the present case it was incumbent on respondent No. 3, before he could award the punishment of dismissal, to come to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was a “gravest act of misconduct”. It is true that in the context in which that expression is used it does not mean an act which is absolutely the worst act of misconduct and means, on the other hand, an act denoting a very high degree of misconduct he posed to a merely grave or a very grave act of misconduct (Bhagwat Prasad’s case, supra). But then it appears to me that respondent No. 3 when awarding the punishment was not alive to the provisions of the sub-rule otherwise he would not only not have awarded the punishment of dismissal without coming to a finding that the misconduct attributed to the petitioner was to the “gravest” type but would perhaps not have awarded that punishment at all for the reason that the misconduct even though grave was not of the “gravest” type. The lack of a finding about the misconduct being of the requisite type makes the impugned order arbitrarily in nature and, therefore, liable to be quashed. According to the sub-rule, the punishing authority is duty bound to take into consideration the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension before it can award the penalty of dismissal. The relevant part of the sub-rule is mandatory in character and an order ed in disregard of it cannot be upheld. In the present case the petitioner had to his credit about 27 year, of service on the date when the impugned order was ed and this factor was completely ignored by respondent No. 3 when awarding dismissal. Had the relevant factors been taken into consideration by respondent No. 3 the punishment may well have been much lighter. Gurdev Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1976(2) S.L.R. 442. 22. Grave misconduct – The punishing authority has clearly stated that the act of the respondent being drunk while on duty in broad day light amounted to an act of gravest misconduct as contemplated by rule 16.2(1) and that the impugned order was ed on this basis. While imposing the punishment, it was taken into consideration that the respondent was posted as State House Officer, incharge of Police Station, Ladwa, and while noticing this fact in the impugned order it was clearly established that the punishing authority was aware of the long service of the delinquent officer. As both the things were present to the mind of the punishing authority and he ed a well-considered and detailed order in seven page, we are of the opinion that it is not a fit case for quashing the same with a direction of reconsideration of the matter. The order of dismissal, in our opinion, is well-based and is within the rule and is neither arbitrary nor wanton. For the reasons recorded above, we hold that the act of a police officer being drunk while on duty would amount to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) of the Rules. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981(3) S.L.R. 130 23. Gravest acts of misconduct—Meaning of . It cannot be said that a single act of misconduct however grave, can never result in dismissal. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. The words “gravest acts of misconduct” are incapable of definition. One has to apply one’s mind to the words and give a meaning to each of them in the light of the actual deed, situation and circumstances. “Misconduct” in order to earn the epithet of gravity has to be gross or flagrant. Consequently the degree of misconduct to justify dismissal has to be higher or more serious. The use of the superlative degree appears to be intended to indicate a supereminence, or a very high degree of misconduct, and not, that the degree should be so high or so low as cannot be outclassed or excelled. It is for the Police Officer who Judge the infraction of the Police Rules to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide upon the suitability of the punishment. It will not be within the powers of the High Court, when petitioned to issue writ of certiorari, mandamus, etc., to interfere with the discretion of the heads of the departments when it has not been exercised want only or arbitrarily. The reasons which induce the punishing authority, if there has been an enquiry consistent with the prescribed rules, are not justiciable; nor is the penalty open to review. Bhagat Parshad vs. Inspector-General of Police, AIR 1970 Punjab 81 = 1970 P.L.R. (S.N.) 2. 24. Gravest act of misconduct while not being capable of being put in a strait jacket – In Bhagwat Parsad’s case the word ‘misconduct’ used in the rule has been analyzed and it has been emphasized that a distinction has to be drawn between ‘misconduct’, ‘simplicities’ and ‘grave misconduct’. It has also been held that the gravest act of misconduct while not being capable of being put in a strait jacket or confined to a definition must, however, relate to an action which is of the utmost gravity and grossly flagrant. It implies a matter of the utmost seriousness. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 25. Gravest misconduct – This Court is of the considered view that even one act of misconduct would be sufficient to attract the applicability of rule 16.2(1) provided the act is gravest. The gravest act, of course, is incapable of any strict definition. The distinction has to be drawn by the punishing authority between misconduct and grave misconduct. Misconduct should not be of an ordinary nature and it has to be of a serious nature. The use of the word ‘gravest’ only means that it has to be of a superlative degree than what a particular act can just be described to be ‘grave’. The gravest act does not mean that the number of acts complained of should be more than one. The use of the word ‘act’ in rule 16.2(1) can be said to include a single gravest act of misconduct. It has to be held order to give effect to the legislative intendment that the word used in plural in rule 16.2(1) would be deemed to include the ‘singular’. If the punishing authority comes to the conclusion that a particular act of the police official was one of the gravest, surely it would not be necessary to wait for the commission of a second act of grave nature by the police official. If such an interpretation is to be taken to the words ‘gravest’ acts of misconduct’, the delinquent police official would commit a heinous crime in order to contend that he does not fall within the mischief of rule 16.2(1). In view thereof a single act of misconduct of gravest nature is good enough for invoking the aid of rule 16.2(1) to award punishment of dismissal. However, a single act or number of acts of misconduct of a police official must prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. Sate of Haryana vs. Lakhan Lal, 1991(4) S.L.R. 82 = 1991(3) RSJ 530. 26. Meaning of word ‘Acts of Misconduct’ – The contention that there must be plurality of acts of misconduct does not appear to me to be sound as this interpretation can lead to absurd results. Taking an extreme illustration, can it be said, that the framers of the Police Rules contemplated, that if a foot constable were to subject a high police officer to a wanton and serious assault, or were to be guilty of a single act of gross insubordination, the punishment of dismissal could not be imposed, unless such conduct was repeated at least once. The use of the word ‘acts’ does not exclude a single act of misconduct. In order to give effect to the legislative intent, the words in plural number may be construed to include the singular; and the words importing the singular only, may be applied to plurality of acts, things of persons. In order to gauge gravity of misconduct, what matters, is not frequency, as obliquity or delinquency. I cannot persuade myself to accept the argument that a single act of misconduct, howsoever grave, can never result in dismissal. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. “Misconduct” is a generic term and means “to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; bad behaviour; unlawful behaviour or conduct”. It includes malfeasance, misdemenanour, delinquency and offence. The term “misconduct” does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. Bhagwat Parsad vs. Inspector General of Police and others, 1967 S.L.R. 807. 27. Mere absence from duty for a few days does not amount to an act of gravest misconduct – Achhar Singh respondent ed service of the Police Department at Amritsar on 12th July, 1956, as a Constable. A departmental inquiry was initiated against him on the allegation that on 19th December, 1975, he was found absent from duty at the time of evening roll call and remained absent from duty for seven days without obtaining any leave or prior permission. This act was considered by the authorities as a “gross misconduct” on his part and an inquiry was ordered against him as a result of which he was dismissed from service. This order was challenged in a civil suit but the same was dismissed. In appeal, the learned lower appellate Court reversed the finding of the trial Court and decreed the suit of the plaintiff and after thorough consideration of the evidence on record came to the conclusion that dismissal form service of the plaintiff-respondent on this ground was wholly arbitrary and violative of Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Rules 1934. After hearing the leaned counsel for the appellant, I am in complete agreement with the conclusion arrived at by the leaned lower appellate Court. The mere absence form duty for a few days does not amount to an act of gravest misconduct the cumulative effect of which may go to prove incorrigibility http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

and complete unfitness of the employee for Police service. Therefore, dismissal form service on such a charge cannot be upheld. Absence form duty State of Punajb and another vs. Achhar Singh 1991 (4) S.L.R. 539. 28. Misconduct-Meaning of. “Misconduct” is generic term and means “ to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; had behaviour; unlawful offence. The term “misconduct” does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. Bhagwat parshad vs. Inspector-General of Police Punjab AIR 1970 Punjab 81. 29. Nature of Rule 16.2. Operation of amendment Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules is procedural one which are always retrospective in nature unless expressly made prospective. Satnam Singh, Constable and other vs. State of Punjab and other 1987 (4) S.L.R. 28. 30. New Plea- No grouse made before the appellate authority. Not only that, the plaintiff did not file any reply to the show case notice. The Deputy Inspector General of Police while dealing with the appeal specifically observed, “ that the appellant, however did not submit any reply to the show case notice. There no mistigating circumstances in this case to justify any lenient view of the misconduct. “It appears that the plantiff never made many grouse on this score before the authorities concerned and that being so he cannot be allowed to agitate this point in the suit. State of Punjab and others vs. Ex-Constable no. 500 Buir Singh 1987 (5) SL.R. 175. 31. Non-observation of the provisions of Rule 16.2 (1) of the Rules. The order of dismissal form service ed in this case is clearly appeased tot he mandatory provisions of Rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules. Lately, it is difficult to appreciate when the Inspector Sham Nath has been ordered to be reinstated after the judgment of the District Judge dated 26.8.1986 ( Annexure P.2) and the order of the High Court dated 16.1.1987 ( Annexure P.3) whey the petitioner who stands in the same position should be dismissed form service. This shows that the order ed in this case is clearly discriminatory and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Moreover, the appellate authority did not afford any personal hearing to the petitioner before dismissing the appeal. It has been authoritatively laid down by the Supreme Court that in a case where pre-decisional inquiry is not held, as contemplated under Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, it is obligatory on the appellate authority to give personal hearing to the officer concerned. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991 (4) S.L.R. 102=1992 (3) RSJ 512. 32. Order of dismissal based upon the conviction. Order of the dismissal was based upon the conviction of the petitioner. Placing reliance upon the provision of the unattended sub-rule (2) of Rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules , 1934, the authorities concerned considered that the petitioner had become disqualified for being retained in service because of his having suffered the conviction mentioned in the impugned order. In that view of the matter it is not possible to hold that in of the unattended rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934, the order of dismissal would not be against the provisions of Section 12 of Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. Order of dismissal did not show that it was based merely on the conviction and that the competent authority had ever by itself considered the nature and gravity of the offence and had recorded its own conclusion that the retention of the petition in service was prima facie undesirable. In view of the clear language of the impugned order of dismissal the competent authority could not place reliance on the amended sub-rule (2) of Rule 16.2 Punjab Police Rules 1934. Shri Iqbal Sindh, E Head Constable Police vs. Inspector General of Police, Delhi and others, (1971 (2) S.L.R. 257 33. Order of dismissal not indicating that the punishing authority was alive to the length of service of the petitioner. The punishing authority was not alive to the fact regarding length of service, previous service record and the conditions in which the incident of firing had taken place. The part played by the delinquent was also not taken in to consideration. Even assuming the act to be the gravest act of misconduct, the second part of the rule, has not been complied with, as the complete unfitness for police service, the length of service, incorrigibility and claim to pension had not been considered. In the order also there is no indication that the punishing authority was alive to the above-said elements of the rule. Apparently, there is a complete violation of rule 16.2 of the Police rules. The counsel for the appellant has not been complied with. The Division Bench judgment cited by him has no parallel on the facts of the present case and the said judgment was on it own facts which are not pari materia with the facts of the present case. Punjab state and another vs. Balwant Singh Ex-Constable, 1989(4) S.L.R 105. 34. Order of removal not disclosing that officer were conscious of the existence of Rule 16.2. Order of the Superintendent of Police and the Inspector General of Police, Annexure P.6 and P.10 respectively do not disclose that those officers were even conscious of the existence of this Rule. These orders are completely silent so far as this aspect of the matter is concerned. The Deputy Inspector-General has, however, made this mention in this impugned order Annexure P.8 the present single act of the appellant is of gravest nature and his case is no way deserve leniency. This observation has been made by the Deputy Inspector general in the context of the service record of the petitioner on the basis of which it was pointed out to him that the petitioner had by that time rendered nine year’s unblemished service and had done commendable work during the Ido-Pal War of 1971. But even this observation or the consideration by the Deputy Inspector General of Police fails far short of the requirements of sub-rule (1) of Rule 16.2 ibid. it has now here been recorded by any of the authorities concerned that the petitioner was guilty of such ‘ gravest’ acts of misconduct, the cumulative effect which can go to prove incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. Ram Partap Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1989 (4) S.L.R 50= 1989 (2) RSK 566 35. Period of absence of the petitioner after he was suspended. Absence of 174 days could not be a ground for dismissal of the petitioner. the period prior to his suspension was hardly about 46 days. It is not for this Court to adjudicate as to whether on proof of the allegation of absence of 46 days. Munshi Ram vs. State of Haryana 1991(2) RSJ 345. 36. Petitioner along with other Constable who participated in the drinking and firing dismissed. After going through the enquiry file exhibit P. 3, it can be safely concluded that there is nothing on the record to show that the punishing authority was alive to the mandatory requirements of the rules or the fact regarding his length of service was considered. the service record was not on the enquiry file. The punishing authority was not alive to the situation or the circumstance in which the firing had taken place. He further contends that the State has in the case of a co-delinquent officer accepted the civil Court’s verdict holding the impugned order bad and has reinstated him. The State cannot be permitted to deal with the persons accused of the same laps in the same incident differently, in particular when the facts attributed to the other delinquent are of more serious nature. He further contends that since the order of dismissal has been e in violation of the mandatory provisions of law, that is rule 16.2 of the Punjab Police Rules, it is void order and need not be got seld aside as there is no requirement of law to get a void order set aside. Punjab State and another vs. Balwant Singh, Ex-Constable, 1989 (4) S.L.R. 105. 37. Punishing Authority not recorded any finding that the act of the respondent amounts to the gravest act of misconduct. It is essential for the Punishing Authority to apply its mind and to record a specific finding as to whether the conduct of the delinquent official which has been complained of is of such grave nature that it must lead inflexibly to his dismissal. As already indicated above, reliance has also been placed by the respondent on Gurdev Singh’s case, in which the respective scope of rules 16.2 and 16.24 (1) were discussed. It was held by the learned single Judge that that it was incumbent upon the Punishing Authority to record a finding that the misconduct attributed to the delinquent official was the gravest act of misconduct and in the absence of such a finding the order could not be sustained. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable 1992 (1) S.L.R. 174. 38. Punishment imposed wholly disproportionate to misconduct and not warranting dismissal form service. The punishment for the misconduct with ASI Ganapat Ram that he can do what ever he likes, cannot be constructed as a gravest act misconduct deserving dismissal from service. The Dy. Inspector General of Police has come to conclusion that the charge was of misbehaving in rude and insubordinate manner and that had been established against the appellant. As we have extracted the allegation of charge and summary of allegations, it nowhere state that he behaved in a rude and insubordinate manner. The police is a disciplined force and the gravest act of misconduct can be a justification for an order of dismissal. The appellant was shabbily dressed and his hair were not cut. The ASI asked the appellant the reasons for not being properly dressed and why he did not get his hair cut. The appellant did tell the ASI that “ Cutting Karai To Hai” and Meri Bhi Vesi Hai Jaisi Auron Ki Hai”. This misbehavior does not warrant an order of dismissal form service. We are satisfied that the punishment imposed is so wholly disproportionate to the misconduct that it pricks our conscience. Kem Chand Constable vs. Union of India and others 1989 (5) S.L.R. 503= 1989 (2) RSK 179. 39. Punishment of dismissal cab only be awarded on the ground of gravest act of misconduct. The dismissal order could be ed only if the act attributed was he gravest act of misconduct or the cumulative effect of continued misconduct proved incorrigibility and complete unfitness of police service. Punjab State vs. Singh, Ex-Head Constable 1988(7) S.L.R. 493 40. Punishment of dismissal to be imposed only in cases of grave misconduct. If Rule 16.2 (1) of the Punjab Police Rules and Rule 8 read with Rule 10 of the Delhi Police Punishment and Appeal Rules 1980 are compared it may be seen that there is no inconsistency between them. In fact, both the provisions state that the misconduct must be very ‘ grave’ and continued, indicating incorrigibility and complete unfitness for Police service. It is thus seen that while awarding the sentence the Disciplinary Authority must applets mind closely to the nature of the misconduct. it must be very grave. It cannot be said that the temporary misappropriation of a utensil from a mess is such a grave misconduct. But what is more important is that neither the Disciplinary Authority nor the Applied their min d to the requirement of the statutory provisions before warding the sentence of dismissal. It was incumbent on the said Authorities to look to the past record of the petitioner and to find out whether there is any history of “ Continued misconduct” Neither the order of the Disciplinary Authority nor the order of the Appellate Authority disclose any past record of the petitioner.

A history of past record showing the proceedings or warnings to the petitioner would have thrown light on this aspect of the misbehavior but the orders are silent. So also the rules require that a delinquent must be found to be complete unfit for working in the police force. This is in contradistinction to the unfitness to work in a particular rank. The Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority have not looked at this aspect of misconduct also. Considering the nature of the misconduct and the statutory requirements I hold hat the discretion has not been properly exercised by the Disciplinary Authority and the Appellate Authority and the punishment of dismissal is awarded in branch of the said statutory requirements. The punishment is too serve as compared to the misconduct . Sukbir Singh vs. the Deputy Commissioner of police, New Delhi and others, 1984 (2) S.L.R. 149. 41. Punishment not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mention in the impugned order. We also agree with the leaned counsel for the State that is not necessary for the punishing authority to specifically mentioned in the impugned, order about he length of service put in by a delinquent officer which was already a part of the record and was well-known. The learned Single Judge had set aside the impugned order of punishment taking this as the second ground. Accordingly, we set the reasoning of the leaned Single Judge in this regard. This in view of the said judgment in the Letter Patent Appeal, the appeal is liable to be accepted. State of Punjab and others vs. Ex-Constable No. 500 Bur Singh, 1987 (5) S.L.R. 175. 42. Punishment whether proportionate to allegations. As regards that protection of rule 16.2 (I) claimed by the petitioner the rule reads as follows, 16 .2 (I) dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct or as the cumulative effect of continued misconduct proving incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service. In making such an award regard shall be to the length of service of the offender and his claim to pension “ Form the impugned order dated 24.2. 79, it is clear that the petitioner under the influence of liquor demanded more liquor form private person within his jurisdiction and demanded English liquor on the pretext of given g the same to the S.P. and DSP to get some transfer order cancelled. He also demanded money from the same person and threatened him with knife when he expressed his inability to pay that mount. Then the petitioner is allege to have taken Rs. 50 from another person and beat a third person. A number of people collected and caught him and handed him over to the police. Thus, the alleged conduct of the petitioner comprised being under the influence of liquor in public place demanding money and liquor from another person, falsely implicating higher officers on his illegal acts, infliction injuries on another person and unruly behaviour in presence of of public. We feel that the order of dismissal cannot be said to be disproportionately harsh as compared to the reprehensible conduct of the petitioner. As regards violation of the provisions of Rule 16.3 and 16.38 we find that rule 16.3 regarding removal from promotion list is not relevant to the case. As regards 16.38 we agree with the respondents that giving information to the District Magistrate as prescribed in this rule is mandatory when any complaint is received by the S.P. indicating commission by a police officer to a criminal offence in connection with the official relations with the public. Since in this case the petitioner was not discharging his duties vis-à-vis persons from whom he demand liquor and money but acting in his individual capacity, provisions of rule 16.38 are not attracted. Mehak Singh Union of India etc., 1987(2) S.L.R. 357 43. Revision. An application for mercy is competent only in case where the order is ed by the Inspector General himself and in such a case no revision lies to him. Inspector General of Police vs. Balbir Singh, 1937 Cur. LJ 376 44. Rule talks of gravest acts of misconduct. It was held that the said part of the sub-rule was mandatory in character and the order ed in disregard of it could not be upheld. The same view was taken in an unreported short decision in Civil Writ Petition No. 3037 of 1977 by a division Bench consisting of A.D. Koshal and R.N. Mittal, JJ (as their Lordships then were). It was held that it was incumbent on the Appointing Authority to take into consideration the provisions of Rule 16.2 before awarding the penalty of dismissal from service and same having not been considered by the Authorities, the order of dismissal was quashed, by order dated 16.11.1977. The same view has been followed in two decisions in Rattan Lal, ExConstable vs. The State of Haryaba and others, 1983(2) SLR 645. I have gone through the order of dismissal ed by the Superintendent of Police as well as the orders ed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in appeal and revision respectively. The Superintendent of Police in his order held that the respondent was on an important duty as Gumman with the Deputy Commissioner and the misconduct proved against him amounted to serious infraction of discipline while being a Member of the Disciplined Force. There is nothing in the order to even remotely suggest that the Punishing Authority was alive to the provision s of rule 16.2, either with regard tot eh gravity of the misconduct or the delinquent being habitual in indulging in gravest type of misconduct or that he had put in, as I am informed at the Bar about 17 years of service, and would qualify for pension after putting another three- four year’s service. The order ed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police in appeal also fails to show that he had in mind the provision of the above rule while disposing of the appeal. In the order of the Inspector-General of Police, all that was that the misconduct on the part of the alleged delinquent was “very grave” and that he was rightly dismissed from service. Again, there was nothing to show in the order that provision of the above rule were kept in view. As the provision of rule 16.2 have been held to be mandatory, failure of the authorities to take due notice of the same and ed and appropriate order is suffuicient to vitiate the order. State of Punjab and another vs. Ram Singh, 1989(3) S.L.R. 629=1992(3) R.S.I 508. 45. Suitability of punishment awarded by the head of department. A constable had conducted an unauthorised check on Ambala Jagadhri Road alongwith another constable by posing as traffic police official and during that checking illegally obtained money from certain truck drivers. Lateron, a departmental enquiry was started and an order of dismissal was ed by the competent authority which was challenged in the writ petition in this Court. While upholding the order of dismissal, it was hled that it is for the police officers to judge the infraction of the Police Rules to determine the seriousness of the misconduct and to decide about the suitability of the punishment and that it is not within the ambit of the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court to interfere with the discretion of the head of the department unless it is shown that the discretion has been exercised wantonly or arbitrarily. State of Haryana and others vs. Gurdev Singh, 1981(3) S.L.R. 130. 46. Term ‘Misconduct’ does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. As we read Section 7 and Rule 16.2, dismissal can be awarded only for the gravest acts of misconduct. We will assume that the charge as laid in summary of allegations is clearly established. The appellant was shabbily dressed and had not got his hair cut while posted at Guard duty at RTC Mehrauli. He was checked by ASI Ganpat Ram when he misbehave with ASI Ganpat Ram and told him to do whatever he likes. The averment on the record before the Enquiry Officer of the appellant is that he told the ASI that “Cutting Karai to Hai” and as regards the shabby dress he said that “Meri Bhi Waisi Hai Jaisi Auron Ki Hai”. This is certainly as act of misbehaviour as also telling the ASI to do whatever he likes. But the misconduct has to be construed for the purposes of punishment within the meaning of Section 7 and Rule16.2. “Misconduct” is generic term and means “to conduct amiss; to mismanage; wrong or improper conduct; bad behavious; unlawful behaviour or conduct”. It includes malfeasance, misdemeanour, delinquency and offence. The term ‘misconduct does not necessarily imply corruption or criminal intent. Khem Chand Constable v.s Union of India and others, 1989(5) S.L.R. 503=1089(2) RSI 179. 47. Termination – Whether incumbent upon the authority before awarding the punishment to take into consideration the length of service and claim to pension of the delinquent employees. In of his contention the learned counsel relied upon State of Orissa and others vs. Bidyabhushan Mohapatra, AIR 1963 SC 779 and Baldev Singh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1985(3) SLR 657 (Pb. & Hry.). Bidyabhushan Mohapatra’s case (supra) has been cited for the proposition that once and authority prima facie comes to a conclusion on the basis of enquiry that person is guilty of the charges leveled, then it is not within the ambit of the Court to find fault with punishment awarded by the authority concerned. The lower appellate Court for its view that it was incumbent upon the authority before awarding the punishment to take into consideration the length of service and claim to pension of the plaintlff relied upon the judgment reported as Gurdev Singh vs. The State of Haryana and others, 1976(2) SLR 442. The learned counsel for the appellant has contended that in view taken in Gurdev Singh’s case (supra) has been reversed by the Division bench in Baldev Singh’s case (supra) and in this view of the matter prayed that the impugned judgment is liable to be set aside. State of Haryana vs. Tek Singh 1992(4) S.L.R. 213=1992(2) RSI 682. 16.3. Action following on a judicial acquital.—(1) When a Police Office has been tried and acquitted by a criminal court lie shall not be punished departmentally on the same charge or on a different charge upon the evidence cited in the criminal case, whether actually led or not, unless,--(a)
the criminal charge has failed on technical grounds; or
(b)
in the opinion of the Court or of the Superintendent of Police, the prosecution witnesses have been won over; or
(c)
the Court has held in its judgment that an offence was actually committed and that suspicion rests upon the police officer concerned; or
(d) (e)
the evidence cited in the criminal case discloses facts unconnected with the charge before the court which justify departmental proceedings on a different charge; or additional evidence issible under rule 16.25 (1) in departmental proceedings is available.
(2) Departmental proceedings issible under sub-rule(1) may be instituted against Lower Subordinates by the order of the Superintendent of Police but may be taken against Upper Subordinates only with the sanction of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, and a police officer against whom such action is asmissible shall not be deemed to have been honourably acquitted for the purpose of rule 7.3 of the Civil Services Rules (Punjab), Volume I Part I. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

1. Acquitted by the Criminal Court. A police officer who is acquitted in a criminal court cannot be tried departmentally on the same charge or on a different charge upon the evidence cited in the criminal case, whether actually led or not. Amin Lal vs. The state of Punjab 1965 Cur. L.J. 509=1967 P.L.R. (S.N) 89. Survey of judicial opinion seems to point to a preponderating preference for the middle view which is that when there is a substantial acquittal of the accused on the criminal charge there should not be a departmental proceeding against him in respect of the same charge on the same facts unless there are present conditions like the acquittal being on a technical ground or establishing conduct which would make it unworthy of the said office continue in office etc. Some of these ideas find concrete expression in P.P.R. 16.3 . Shri Kundan Lal vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and others, 1976(1) S.L.R. 133 2. Acquittal of Police Officer by Criminal Court on technical ground. It was, thus a case where the criminal charge failed on a technical ground that is, the absence of the complainant on the date of the hearing and not because the charge had been enquired into but had not been substantiated. The fact, that another trial court not be held in a criminal Court against the petitioner on the same charge because of his acquittal under Section 247 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, will not bar the departmental proceeding being taken against him in respect of the same charge and on the same evidence. I am, therefore, of the opinion that Superintendent of Police rightly decided to hold departmental proceedings against the petitioner and obtained the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police for holding the same. The proceedings with regard to obtaining the sanction of the District Magistrate under rule 16.38(1) and (2) were unnecessary and can be treated as useless surplus ages. The Inquiry Officer could be appointed by the Superintendent of Police after the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police had been obtained and the mere fact that the Superintendent of Police also obtained the sanction of the District Magistrate did not, in my opinion vitiate the appointment of the Inquiry Officer by him and the enquiry held by that enquiry Officer. The petitioner has not challenged the proceedings of the enquiry before the Inquiry Officer. Shri Prem Kumar, in the writ petition and for this reason no fault can be found with the show cause notice issued to the petitioner by the Superintendent of Police on October 19, 1965. Gurdev Singh, Sub Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab through the Inspector of Police, Punjab and another, 1970 S.L.R 886. 3. Departmental Inquiry. Fact forming basis of departmental inquiry found not unconnected with charge in criminal case. 1965 Cur. LJ 509 4. Double jeopardy.. Acquittal by a criminal court. Of course, if the above said rule is applicable to the present case, then it may be argued that the same having not been complied with, the enquiry was vitiated and the subsequent orders based thereon are also vitiated, but in the present case, the lower appellate Court found that the charge, of which the plaintiff was found guilty, did not relate to a matter which has any relation with the public. It did have a relation with his exercising proper and efficient supervision and control over the s Branch of which he was the head, in which he had failed. This charge can hardly be termed to be an offence in connection with his official relations with the public. Thus, the plaintiff was not entitled to invoke the said provisions of the Rules. Ram Rakha Joshi (Retd.) A.S.I. Punjab Police vs. State of Punjab, 1984(1) S.L.R. 404 5. Double Jeopardy – Acquitted in criminal case. The only exception left is the one enumerated at clause (b), that is, “in the opinion of the Superintendent of Police, the prosecution witnesses have been won over”. A close scrutiny of the judgment of the criminal Court would show that the accused persons were acquitted not because the prosecution witnesses were won over but because there were fundamental infirmities in the prosecution case which had damaged its veracity. The only witness alleged to have been won over was one Banta Singh (P.W.) of which the Criminal Court did not even take any notice. Thus, the initiation of a departmental inquiry by invoking the provisions of Rule 16-3 ibid, after Constable Mohinder Pal had been acquitted by a criminal Court, was wholly without jurisdiction and contrary to the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. Otherwise also there is hardly any material in of the charge against the petitioner in the departmental inquiry on the basis whereof the charge could be sustained justifying his dismissal from service. Mohinder pal vs. State of Punjab and others, 1987(1) S.L.R. 266 6. Double Jeopardy – Departmental enquiry. The order initiating the inquiry as also the show cause notice clearly indicate that the petitioner is being proceeded against exactly on the same charge which were contained in the F.I.R. and he was discharged. The relevant rule which ittedly is applicable in Delhi is rule 16-3 of the Punjab Police Rules. This rule has been interpreted by this Court in various authorities but, in my opinion, it is necessary to refer to any of the judgment in view of the clear writing of rule itself. However, I would refer to only Kundal Lal vs. Delhi istration. The learned counsel for the respondent contends that under rule 16-3(1)(d), the department could proceed with the departmental inquiry and in this case they were acting under the said sub-rule. A mere reading of the order and the show cause reproduced above, would show that this argument is untenable and cannot be accepted. The department is not proceeding on the facts unconnected with the charge before the Court which justified the departmental proceedings on a different charge but is proceeding exactly on the same charges which were subject matter of the trial before the competent Criminal Court. Shri Sahib Ram vs. Delhi istration and others, 1984(2) S.L.R. 133 7. Enquiry officer not to sit-in judgment over the decision of the criminal Court. Where the acquittal is substantially on merits, on identical facts and charges, it will not be proper for a disciplinary Tribunal to record a finding of guilt, and to punish, the employee thereon. This would be a basic principle of jurisprudence and it would make no difference that the departmental authority acts before the criminal proceedings or after it and the Court, in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, would be justified in striking down the action based on such finding, as not in consonance with the principles of natural justice. Examining the findings of the Enquiry Officer we find that he had examined the very persons, who were examined in the criminal case and on the same material and the circumstances, the Enquiry Officer came to a contrary conclusion. He purported to examine the evidence adduced before him as if he was deciding a Sessions case. Evidently, the Enquiry Officer would have no power to sit as an appellate Court of the Additional Sessions Judge. It is, therefore, clear that the petitioner’s acquittal was not on any technical grounds, nor was it n the basis that he eas given the benefit of doubt. In fact, the prosecution had miserably failed to prove its case, either by direct or by circumstantial evidence. As such, the acquittal was on of the prosecution failure to bring home guilt to the accused without establishing any incriminating circumstances, although inconclusive. The next question will be whether the judgment of acquittal itself indicate that the petitioner’s retention in Police Service could be undesirable. In our opinion the judgment does not give any indication of such type. In the criminal Court, the prosecution had not only failed to establish any incriminating circumstances, either by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence, but also had failed to establish any motive, whatsoever. In view of these facts, the Enquiry Officer could not purport to function as a Court of law nad re-examine the very material, which had been put up before the Sessions Judge. The attempt of the Enquiry Officer was to function as an appellate Court of the Additional Sessions Judge and to come to a contrary conclusion upon the same material, which had been adduced in the Sessions Court. This, evidently the Enquiry Officer could not have done on the principles laid down by their Lordships of the Supreme Court in State of M.P. vs. Qumrali Wehidali. Harinaryan Dubey vs. sate of Madhya Pradesh and others, 1976(1) S.L.R. 585 8. Found drunk while on duty –Dismissed after departmental enquiry. The plea raised by the petitioner is that a single act of having been found under the influence of liquor while on duty would not amount to a very grave act or misconduct which would render him incorrigible and complete unfitness for police service. In of his contention the learned counsel for the petitioner had cited an unreported judgment in http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
Dharampal vs. The State of Haryana and others, CWP No.4680 of 1987 decided by Amarjeet Chaundhary, J. on 10.3.1989 and Phool Singh vs. State of Haryana and other, 1989(6) SLR 138 decided by Jai Singh Sekhon, J. So far as the judgment of Jai Singh Sekhon, J. in Phool Singh’s case (supra) is cerned, the same is distinguishable as that was a case of constable who was under suspension and absented himself from duty and under the circumstances it was held that absence from duty of a police official who was under suspension would not amount to a grave act of misconduct which would entail the punishment of dismissal. So far as the judgment in Dharampal’s case (supra) is concerned, of course, that does not help the petitioner. In this case Amarjeet Chaudhary, J. has held that the punishment of dismissal awarded in that case to the petitioner who was found under the influence of liquor while on duty was not proportionate to the charges levelled against him. It has been further held that this court would not interfere regarding suitability of the punishment awarded by the head of department unless it is shown that the discretion has been exercised wantonly or arbitrarily. I am bound to follow the judgment of the Division Bench, referred to above, in preference to the judgment of Amarjeet Chaudhary, J. I find that conduct of the petitioner was such which amounted to an act of gravest misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2(1) and which merited the punishment of dismissal from service. The petitioner being a constable who belongs to a disciplined force had to act with some sense of responsibility. Thus, I find no force in the contention raised by the petitioner. Joginder Singh, Ex0 Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1990(5) S.L.R. 515 = (1950-1988) 1 RSI 12 9. Judgment of criminal court. Did not suggest acquittal on technical ground or suspicion resting upon Police Officer. 1965 Cur. LJ 509 16.4 Reduction.—(1) A police officer may be reduced (a) to a lower rank (except in the case of Sergeants and of Constables on the phase-scale); (b) from the selection grade of a rank to the time-scale of the same rank; (c) it in a graded rank, to a lower position in the seniority list of his grade or to a lower grade in his rank. A police of ficer so reduced shall be placed in the time-scale to which he is reduced, whether from higher rank or from the selection grade of the same rank, at the point to which his approved service entitles him, but below the efficiency bar, if any. An officer reduced in rank shall not be placed in the selection grade of the rank to which he is reduced. (2) An upper subordinate shall not ordinarily be reduced to the rank of Head Constable, unless he has been promoted from that rank and is capable of performing the duties of a Head Constable. If he is absolutely unfitted for his position or for that of a Head Constable, he shall be dismissed, and not reduced in rank. (3) A Head Constable reduced dto the rank of Constable shall ordinarily occupy a position in the gradation list of Constables according to the length of his approved service. SYNOPSIS 1. Word ‘rank’—Meaning of. COMMENTS 1. Word ‘rank’—Meaning of. No doubt some of the dictionary meanings of the word to tend to the stand urged on the side of the petitioner, but in view of the meaning given to this word by their Lordships of the Supreme Court in the High Court, Calcutta vs. Amal Kumar Roy. A.I.R. 1962 S.C. 1704, the ordinary meanings of that word cannot be taken and the meanings of the word that have to be applied are those given by their Lordships in the judgment of that case. In that case a Munsif in the West Bengal Civil Service (Judicial) having been ed over for promotion to the post of a Subordinate Judge, when he came to the promoted to that post, he stood eight places below as compared to the place where he would have been had he been promoted in his own turn at the proper time. It was urged that his lowering of seniority by eight places in this matter was reduction in rank. Their Lordships observed :- @INDENT2 = “In our opinion, there is no substance in this contention because losing places in the same cadre, namely, of subordinate Judges does not amount to reduction in rank, within the meaning of Article 311(2). The plaintiff sought to argue that ‘rank’, in accordance with dictionary meaning, signifies ‘relative position or status or places’, according to Oxford English Dictionary. The word ‘rank’ can be and has been used in different senses in different contexts. The expression ‘rank’ in Article 311(2) has reference to a person’s classification and not his particulars place in the same cadre in the hierarchy of the service to which he belongs. Hence, in the context of the Judicial Service of West Bengal, ‘reduction in rank’ would imply that a person who is already holding the post of a Subordinate Judge has been reduced to the position of a Munsif, the rank of a Subordinate Judge being higher than that of a Munsif. But Subordinate Judges in the same cadre hold the same rank, though they have to be listed in order of seniority in the Civil List. Therefore, losing some places in the seniority list is not tantmount to reduction in rank”. This was again approved by their Lordships in the Divisional Personnal Officer, Southern Railway, Mysore vs. S. Raghavendrachar, A.I.R. 1966 S.C. 1529. So, it is the meaning of the word ‘rank’ as given by their Lordships in sub-article (2) of Article 311 that negatives the case of the present petitioner in spite of his losing two places in seniority and also losing two steps in his time-scale by the forfeiture of two years of his pay permanently. The reason is that he remains still Head Constable and in the rank of Head Constables. By the lowering of his seniority or by the lowering of his pay by two steps in the timescale he does not cease to remain in the rank of Head Constables. He is still there very much in that rank, and merely because he has lost seniority or has been lowered by two steps in the time-scale of his pay, which slightly lowers his in his own rank and it is reduction in so far as it affects his seniority under sub-rule (1) of rule 16-4, it is nor reduction in rank as that expression is used in sub-article (2) of Article 311 of the Constitution, inasmuch as it does not lower the rank of the petitioner. Ranjit Singh, Head Constable vs. Commandant P.A.P. Jullundur Cantt. And others, 1967 S.L.R. 543 16-5. Stoppage of increments. [For Punjab -- or Forfeiture of approved service for increment] -- The increment of a police officer on a time-scale may be withheld as a punishment. The order must state definitely the period for which the increment is withheld, and whether the postponement shall have the effect of postponing future increments. The detailed orders regarding the grant and stoppage of increments are contained in rule 13-2. ( Sub-Rules 2 and 2 for Punjab ) (2) Approved service for increment may be forfeited, either temporarily or permanently, and such forfeiture may entail the deferment of an increment or increments or a reduction in pay. The order must state whether the forfeiture of approved service is to be permanent, or, if not, the period for which it has been forfeited. (3) Reinstatement on the expiry of a period fixed under sub-rule9(1) or (2) above shall be conditional upon good conduct in the interval, but, if it is desired under this rule not to reinstated an officer, a separate order shall be recorded, after the officer concerned ha been given opportunity to show cause whey his reinstatement should not be deferred, and the period for which such order shall have effect, shall be stated. Rules regarding the method of recording punishments under this rule in seniority rolls are contained in Chapter X. 16-6. Confinement to quarters. – A Constable confined to quarters shall be confined in the lock-up attached to the police quarter guard. While so confined he shall perform punishment drill or may be employed instead on any authorized fatigue duty. He shall not leave the lock-up during the period of his confinement, except under escort of one or more Constables in uniform, and in accordance with the order, general or specific, of an officer of status not less than that of Lines Officer. 16-7. Punishment drill. – (1) Punishment drill shall consist of drill with a musket and rolled great-coat for not more than six or less than four hours in any one day, with an interval of at least 30 minutes between each hour. Only such days shall be counted towards the completion of an award of punishment drill on which such drill is actually carried out. (2) An officer rewarding punishment drill may direct that the constable so punished, if attached to the reserve, shall not leave the lines, except on duty, during the days on which such punishment is to be carried out. 16-8. Censures. – A censure shall be recorded in the character roll of a police officer only under the following conditions:--(i)
Censures shall be ed by a formal order in the order book.
(ii)
No censure shall be recorded by an Assistant or Deputy Superintendent of Police, without the prior approval of the Superintendent, in the character roll of any officer whom he is not empowered under rule 16-1(2) to punish.
(iii)
A District Magistrate is authorised subject to the limitations press cribed in clause (iv) below, to record a censure in the character roll of any enrolled police officer.

The Police Rules, 1934 (iv)
A censure, whether recorded by a District Magistrate or a police officer is required to be confined to facts and deductions from such facts. Statements or expressions of opinion amounting to charges of a kind which, if proved, would involve a major punishment shall not be so recorded. Such statements should form the basis of a formal enquiry at which the officer against whom they are made has the opportunity of making his defence. Their record in character rolls ex-prate is prohibited.
16.9. Maintenance of discipline.—Discipline shall be maintained by patient and continuous instruction, combined with firm, vigorous and sustained control. Superintendents and officers subordinate to them having power to punish shall endeavor to check neglect and misconduct in their subordinates, which appear to be due to ignorance or inattention and not to will full disobedience, by clear instruction and careful explanation. They shall as far as possible, avoid the constant infliction of minor punishments, and shall, in all cases in which they inflict punishment, their orders after full consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and of the character and position of the officer punished. If the previous record of an officer, against whom charges have been proved, indicates continued misconduct proving incorrigibility and complete unfitness for police service, the punishment awarded will ordinarily be dismissal from service. When complete unfitness for police service is not, but unfitness for a particular rank is, established, the punishment will normally be reduction. 16.10. Punishment of officers officiating in higher ranks.—The misconduct of a police officer must be judged in relation to the position he was occupying at the time when such misconduct is alleged to have taken place. For purposes of punishment, therefore, an officer officiating in a higher rank shall be treated as belonging to that rank. This rule shall not prevent an officer being reverted to his substantive rank on being placed under suspension. 16.11. Prosecution under Section 29, Act V of 1861.—When a disciplinary offence on the part of a police officer can be adequately punished departmentally, such of ficer shall not be prosecuted under section 29 of the Police Act, and no upper subordinate shall be prosecuted under that section without the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General. 16.12. Judicial prosecutions.—When a police officer is departmentally punished for an offence committed in his public capacity for which he is liable to be prosecuted criminally, the Deputy Inspector General is required to satisfy himself that the course adopted was expedient in the interests of the istration, and may order a criminal prosecution if he considers if desirable. SYNOPSIS 1. Natural justice—Enquiry. COMMENTS 1. Natural justice—Enquiry. The rule of natural justice and fairness to the official are two paramount considerations. It is instructive in this context to refer to the decision of the of the House of Lords in Ridge vs. Baldwin, (1963 ALL ER 66), where the Watch Committee summarily dismissed a Chief Constables on the basis of his being severely criticized by the trial Judge while acquiring him. There was no doubt a department enquiry in this case but, the enquiry as explained above, did not give a sufficient opportunity as required by, the rule for the petitioner to defend himself adequately. The said proceedings are, therefore, quashed. Hem Raj, A.S.I. Police vs. The Delhi istration and ors., 1973(1) S.L.R. 349 16.13. Magisterial procedure.—(1) All cases against police officers are required by standing instructions of the High Court to be tried by Magistrates of the 1st class Petty charges in which there is no probability of the District Magistrate, who is the appellate authority, having been required to advise in his executive capacity, may, however, be tried by any Magistrate who can most conveniently take them up. Police officers are never to be tried summarily. (2) Magistrates are required to exercise care in making entries of censure on police officers in their judgments, and it is undesirable that they should make remarks in criminal cases censuring the action of police officers, unless such remarks are strictly relevant to the case and the officers concerned have had an opportunity of explaining their action – (vide Chief court Circular No. 7-3482-G, dated 19th September, 1903, reproduced in Police Rule Appendix No. 1.19).

Training-Refusal to depute B-1 Lower School Course. I am of the considered view that the respondents are justified in not deputing the petitioner to the Lower School Course so long as she remains under suspension because of the pending criminal case against her. At the same time, I feel that the petitioner cannot be robbed of the meritorious position attained by her in the written and parade test and the eligibility for undergoing the Lower School Course gained by her. In the circumstances, therefore, the appropriate direction which ought to be issued is that as and when and in case the petitioner is acquitted of the criminal charges against her and is consequently reinstated in service, she shall be deputed to the ensuing Lower School Course at the Police Training School, Madhuban, Immediately after the date of her acquittal and reinstatement.

If as the result of an enquiry, a police officer under suspension is punished, his substance grant for the time spend under suspension may not exceed one-fourth of his pay (Fundamental Rule 53) if he is acquitted either as the result of an original enquiry or on appeal, the assessment of the subsistence grant is governed by Fundamental Rule 54. (2) The following officers are empowered to make subsistence grants to police officers under suspension:(a) Deputy Inspectors-General, the To all non-Gazetted Assistant Inspector-General, Officers subordinate Railway Police, and Superintendents to them.

Departmental enquiry—Found guilty of one of the charges. Rule 16.3 of the Rules inter alia provides that if a Police Officer has been tried and acquitted by a criminal court, he shall not be punished departmental on the same charge or on different charge upon the evidence cited in the criminal case, whether actually led or not unless, (a) the criminal charge has failed on technical grounds or (b) in the opinion of the Court of the Superintendent of Police, the prosecution witnesses have been won ever; or (c) the Court has held in its judgment that an offence was actually, committed and that suspicion rests upon the police officer concerned or (d) the evidence cited in the criminal case disclose facts unconnected with the charge before the Court which justify departmental proceedings on a different charge or (e) additional evidence issible under rule 16.25 (1) in departmental proceedings is available. Thus it could not be successfully argued that after having been acquitted by the criminal Court, the plaintiff could not be proceeded against departmentally under any circumstances.

16.21. Status and treatment of offices under suspension—(1) A police officer shall not by reason of being suspended from office cease to be a police officer. During the term of such suspension the powers, functions and privileges vested in him as a police officer shall be in abeyance, but he shall continue subject to the same responsibilities, discipline and penalties and to the same authorities, a s if he had not been suspended. (2)
A Police officer under suspension shall be transferred to the lines, if not already posted there.

Absence form duty for 18 days while under suspension. The perusal of Rule 16.21 (2) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, reveals that during the suspension period of a police officer, he cannot be assigned responsible duties like guard duty or any other duty entailing the exercise of the power or functions of a Police Officer or duty involving the exercise of responsibility, but during suspension he shall ordinarily be confined to lines and he shall deposit his belt and ammunition etc. The working of the mind of a suspended police officer on of the registration of a criminal case just after his release by the Court on bail, in such criminal case cab be well imagined. Certainly be will fell confused and shaken, especially when he is convinced of his innocence. This conclusion is further fortified as according to the written statement filed by the respondent State, the above referred criminal case consequently, ended in his acquittal although the Court has given him the benefit of doubt. Just the laps on the part of the petitioner is not attending the police line during the spell 18 days cannot be said to be that grave as that of a regular police officer and thus would no tensile the extreme penalty of terminating his service.

Discretion left to the enquiry officer to record the evidence in vernacular if he so decides. Petitioner also contends that the evidence should have been recorded during the enquiry proceedings in vernacular and not in English. In this connection he relies on Punjab Police Rule 16.22(2) This lays down that “ in all cases against upper subordinates the record shall be in English throughout. In cases against lower subordinates evidence may be recorded in vernacular, but the statement of the accused officer in his defence, the finding, and the final order shall be in English. “ This rule shows that a discretion is left to the enquiry officer to record the evidence in vernacular if he so decides. It is not imperative for him to record the evidence in vernacular only. More over, over, I find that this point was not taken up by the petitioner either before, the enquiry officer or before the disciplinary authority or in appeal. This contention has, therefore, to be rejected. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh, D.I.G. Police Delhi and others, 1972 S.L.R. 768.

Final authority on question of fact. Petitioner’s contention that the bare statement of Uma Shankar, Sub-Inspector that he saw the petitioner attending the mass rally in question should not have been accepted in view of the evidence produced by the petitioner, is misconceived. Whether the petitioner did attend the really or not in a question of fact and it cannot be said that the findings given by the enquiry officer is without evidence. It is for him to believe a particular witness and disbelieve the other. He is the final authority on question of fact as long as the decision can be shown to be based on evidence.

Service of an Advocate, Petitioner’s contention that he was denied the service of an Advocate during the proceedings before the enquiry officer is without substance. In his writ petition he has only mentioned this fact indirectly to show that the enquiry officer was biased and prejudiced against a him and “ the petitioner was not even entitled to avail of the assistance of some advocate”. There is noting to show whether the petitioner did request for such assistance. Even in the petition he has not disclosed when and how such assistance was asked for and refused. Again, no grievance was made at any stage of the proceedings right to the appellate stage about this aspect. Ajit Singh, Constable vs. Kirpal Singh D.I.G. Police.

This record shall be forwarded without delay through the usual channel to the Superintendent of Police or other gazetted officer under whose immediate control the officer who has recorded the complaint is serving.

The suspected police officer may or may not be present at such preliminary enquiry, as ordered by the Superintendent of Police or other gazetted officer initiating the investigation shall form no part of the formal departmental record, but statements therefrom may be brought to the formal record when the witnesses are no longer available in the circumstances detailed in clause (iii) above.

The petitioner was not given an opportunity to defend hemself. Now the papers of the enquiry which are produced in case show that the pertitioner had itted and had pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against him. It is difficult to understand what further opportunity the petitioner required in view of his clear plea of guilty. The petitioner has contended in the petition that he had never pleaded guilty. This is of course a bare assertion of an interested party. In fact, he has not filed any appeal challenging the allegation that he pleaded guilty. Shri Bhagat Ram vs. Inspector General of Police, Himachal Pradesh and others, 1979(3) S.LR. 256. 2. Constable molesting lady constable. The trial court found that the plaintiff was guilty of the alleged misconduct, there was no necessity for according the sanction by the District Magistrate and that there was no question of any illegality in the orders ed by the authorities. Consequently, his suit was dismissed. IN appeal, the learned Additional District Judge reversed the said finding of the trial Court relying upon the judgment of this court in Gurdev Singh vs. The State of Haryana, 1976(2) SLR 442. In view of the ratio of the above-said case, it was held that in the present case, the only allegation against the plaintiff was that while under the influence of liquor he pulled down the mosquito-net of the lady constable while she was sleeping on cot. There was no allegation that the said lady Constable was actually molested. No finding was recorded by the punishing authority that the misconduct committed by him was of a gravest type. That being so, the order of dismissal ed against the plaintiff was liable to struck down. It was further found by the lower appellate Court that the provisions of rule 16.24 of the Punjab Police Rules, were also not complied with inas much as the plaintiff was not fully informed of the evidence which had been led against him ex parte, and that he was not permitted to take notes of the same. Thus, the mandatory provisions of rule 16.24 of the Rules were violated. In view of the said findings, the plaintiff’s suit was decreed. Dissatisfied with the same, the State of Punjab has filed this second appeal in this Court. State of Punjab and other vs. Iqbal Singh, Ex-Constable, 1985(3) S.L.R. 713. 3.
Cross-Examination-Departmental Enquiry, in a disciplinary inquiry against a civil servant, the right of effective cross-examination including the contradiction of witness examined in of the charges in an essential part of the rules of natural justice. Jug Raj Singh vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and other,s 1970 S.L.R. 400.
4. Departmental Enquiry-Right to cross-examination. The petitioner was denied the right to defend himself because the right of effective cross-exmaination by using the previous statement of the complainant was denied to him contrary to Police Rules. Apart from Police Rules the right to cross-examination is included in the minimum content of the rules of natural justice applicable to a disciplinary inquiry. Further held, there are two classes of documents to which public servant has a right to defend himself. In the class are the documents on which the Inquiry Officer to defend himself. In the first class are the documents on which the Inquiry Officer relie,d that is to say docuemnts which are intended to be used the prosecution agenchy to prove the charges against the public servant, in the second class fall the documents which, even if they are not relied upon by the Enquiry Officer to the charges against the petitioner, are nevertheless required by the petitioner for his defence. Jug Raj Singh vs. The Delhi istration, Delhi and others, 1970 S.LR. 400. 5. Departmental enquiry dispensed with after recording reasons and application of mind. It could not be successfully argued on behalf of the petitioner that the enquiry under Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution of India was dispensed with arbitarily or without any application of mind. Even if it be held that the enquiry was not dispensed with arbitrarily, then as regards punishment, ordinarily it is not for this Court to go into the matter. It is for the department concerned to award punishment after taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case. Balbir Sigh vs. State of Punjab and others, 1989(4) S.LR. 42=1989(2) RSJ 540. 6. Dismissal from service after departmental enquiry. It is correct that under Rule 16.24(2)(ii) even in the case of ex parte proceedings, the procedure prescribed under Rule 16.24(1) has to be followed as far as possible. Personal hearing is definitely a step in the procedure prescribed under rule 16.24(1) for holding a departmental enquiry to impose the penalty of dismissal. But in my opinion, the words ‘as far as possible’ make the provision only directory. The State of Punjab 1967 SLR 678 is distinguishable on its own facts. That was not a case of ex parte proceedings. Moreover, it was found by the Court that thought personal hearing was given to the petitioner in that case yet, it was a mere formality as the Superintendent of Police had already made up his mind to punish him as was apparent from the notice to show cause. Dhani Ram vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, 1991(6) S.L.R. 184. 7.
Dismissal on the charge of assaulting a girl. The petition averred two separate facts. Para II of the petition stated that the findings of the Enquiry Officer were not communicated to the appellant when he was summoned before the Superintendent of Police, and para 12 stated that he was only orally told that it was proposed to dimiss him and that no other fact was communicated to him. In reply to these two averments, the affidavit which has not been filed its that the first of the allegations is correct. Para II of the affidavit of the respondent quite clearly its that the findings were not communicated to the appellant. Para 12 of the petition which stated that he was only told that it was proposed to dismiss him has not been met by the quotation from the order sheet of the proceedings before the Superintendent of Police, and does not advance the matter much further.
It was contended before us that what is meant by the word ‘charge’ in the order sheet of the Superintendent of Police is very much the same, as is meant by Rule 16.24, para 9 of the Punjab Police Rules, Vol. II, where it is laid down that the “defaulter” should be explained the “charge proved” against him but this is not what the order sheet of the Superintendent of Police shows. This does not appear to have been done, and the affidavit which has been filed in this Court is not the affidavit of the officer who knew personally about the matter but of person who had only the proceedings before him and swore to their accuracy from information. In this view of the matter, we find ourselves unable to accept the contention of the learned counsel for the respondent that due compliance with the requirements of Art. 311(2) was made in this case. In our opinion, this defect goes to the very root of the matter, and the appeal must, on this ground alone, succeed. Avtar Singh, Police Constable vs. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab, 1968 S.L.R. 131. 8.
Dismissal-Refusal to perform the duty. The impugned order does not indicate that the punishing authority examined the claim of the plaintiff for pension having regard to the length of his service. It is undisputed that the plaintiff had 7-1/2 years service to his credit on the date of order of dismissal was ed. The rule ened upon the disciplinary authority while awarding the punishment of dismissal from service to take into consideration the length of service of the dilinquent official and his claim to pension. The impugned order does not indicate that the disciplinary authority took into consideration the length of service of the plaintiff and his claim to pension. The order of dismissal being in violation of the statutory rule was rightly held to be invalid. The judgments of the Courts below suffer from no infirmity. The same are upheld.

10. District Magistrate to a speaking order. There is no doubt whatsoever that the provisions of Rule 16.38 envisage as to how the authorities shall act in: situation when a complaint is received by the Superintendent of Police indication, commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public, namely, that either he should be criminally prosecuted or he should be dealt with departmentally by holding departmental enquiry in accordance with the procedure laid down in Rule 16.24. Further, it is also obvious that information of the complaint received by the Superintendent of Police of the commission of criminal offence has to be given to the District Magistrate and after preliminary enquiry as a general rule the criminal prosecution of the police official concerned must http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
follow. In certain exceptional cases, however, where the District Magistrate is of opinion that the delinquent should be dealt with departmentally, he has to give reasons therefor meaning thereby that this must be a speaking order with full application of his mind. In fact, a Division Bench of the High Court of Himachal Pradesh in State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Nain Singh and another, AIR 1986. H.P. Series 727, while relying on the judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Punjab vs. Charan Singh, AIR 1981 SC 1007, has held that if a police officer is criminally prosecuted without any intimation to the District Magistrate or obtaining his prior permission for such prosecution, there is no violation of the provisions of Rule 16.38 but, in case the police officer has to be departmentally dealt with, the prior sanction of the District Magistrate in this behalf is a condition precedent and the District Magistrate is required to in such a situation a speaking order after full application of his mind. State of H.P. vs. Baldev Singh, 1989(7) S.LR. 1. 11. Enquiry officer exonerated the petitioner by holding that he was not negligent in the performance of his duties. It was on the basis of this evidence that the Enquiry Officer had exonerated the petitioner of the charges levelled against him. The Senior Superintendent of Police while issuing the show cause notice to the petitioner did not refer to any evidence which may show that the petitioner was negligent in the performance of duties. The show cause notice was totally vague and did not specify the grounds on which respndent No. 2 had disagreed with the findings recorded by the Enquiry Officer. It was merely mentioned that “I do not agree with this report, because you remained posted as Station House Officer, Police Station City, Tarn Taran and it was your duty to take interest in arresting the accused in these cases but you failed to do so. Therefore, I find you guilty in this Departmental Enquiry.” It is not stated as to why the respondent did not agree with the findings of the Enquiry Officer. It does not also indicated as to which part of the enquiry report was being doubted by the officer. In such a situation, it cannot be said that the petitioner was given an effective opportunity to show cause. The petitioner had then made a specific grievance against this action before the appellate as also the revisional authorities. His claim was rejected without any reference to the clear evidence on record. It is no doubt correct that the High Court while exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India does not sit as a Court of appeal. However, it is charged with the duty of ensuring that the action taken by the authorities is just and fair. I am satisfied in the circumstanes of the case that the action was totally arbitrary. Rajinder Kumar. SI (Retd.) vs. State of Punjab and others, 1992(4) S.L.R. 394=1992(3) RSJ 302. 12. Enquiry – Police officer challaned the accused. It must be noticed that it is not the mere presence of a few tyre marks on the record, without anything more, that would suggest that speed at which the vehicle was driven at the relevant time. It is common knowledge based on the ordinary and well known laws of physical that only if the distance over which tyre marks appeared and the weight of the vehicle are known if would be possible to estimate the speed at which the car was driven. Even if a car is driver at a slow speed, when brakes are suddenly applied some tyre marks are possible. There is , therefore no from the evidence on record before the Enquiry Officer for the view that the petitioner had falsely introduced reference to tyre marks on the road. Hem Raj , A.S.I. Police vs. The Delhi istration and ors., 1973(1) S.L.R. 340 13. Nature and degree of misconduct. The object of making a preliminary investigation is to ascertain the nature and degree of misconduct which had be formally inquired into. This record of preliminary investigation is no doubt not to be a part of the formal departmental record. There does not seem to be scope, However , for any secret enquiry such as what Shri Jarith says, in the report, he made. This opportunity given to the delinquent is prima facie inconsistent with any notion of secrecy for the delinquent can be present if he likes, though it is not obligatory on his part to be present. It seems difficult to agree with the contention that he could be present only when it was so ordered by the Superintendent of Police or other gazetted officer initiating the investigation. Those words apply to only the enquiry, which is to be conducted when so ordered but not to the presence of the delinquent at such enquiry. If the Superintendent of Police or other officer is given the option of allowing the delinquent to be present or not present it is possible that the very purpose of enabling his presence during such enquiries is likely to be unfulfilled in may cases. Rule 16.24(v) provides that the enquiring officer “shall record the statements of those defence witnesses whom he decides to it in the presence of the accused, who shall be allowed to address questions to them, the answers to which shall be recorded” etc. Fairness would require some reasons to be given why some alone among the witnesses in the list of defence witnesses are examined while the examination of others is not permitted. In the present case, by merely looking at that list, one is unable to find anything to distinguish between those who were examined and those who were not, even making allowances for the enquiring officer’s anxiety not to duplicate witnesses. There is no means of knowing the considerations which prevailed with the enquiring officer in the present case in the matter of only recording the statements of only some but not of all witnesses required to be examined in his behalf by the delinquent officer. All these individually and cumulatively did have an impact on the fairness of the enquiry. It is of extreme importance that such departmental inquiries in which the servants of the State are likely to meet with even major penalties should be punished after a full and fair inquiry, the enquiring officer and others concerned with such enquiries should be careful and avoid giving an impression of unfairness in anything which they do or fail to do. Ram karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 683 14. Non—supply of statement of witnesses cannot be said to have vitiated the disciplinary proceedings. We have considered these rulings but find that the facts in the present case are materially different from those in the two above mentioned rulings in as no request whatsoever was made in writing for the supply of statement of witnesses recorded during the preliminary enquiry, and the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that such a request was made orally during the course of enquiry cannot be relied upon, particularly in view of the clear stand taken by the respondents that the petitioners never applied for the copies of statement as alleged. We have, therefore, no hesitation in coming to the conclusion that the petitioners did not ask for the copies of the statement of the witnesses recorded during the course of the preliminary enquiry and their stand that they asked for such copies verbally is not worthy of any reliance. Godan Devi and anr. vs. Superintendent of Police and ors., 1991(3) S.L.R. 623 15. No reasonable opportunity given to cross-examine the witnesses produced by the department. The final argument raised by the counsel for the respondent is that there was no compliance of the other mandatory provisions of rule 16.24(1) as the respondent had not been given a list of witnesses or documents relied upon by the Department and that a reasonable opportunity was not given to cross-examine the witnesses produced by the Department. We have gone through the pleadings of the parties in this respect and find that no such point was made in the plaint and, as such, no justifiable grievance can now be made on this score. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 16. Opportunity of hearing not given before ing the order. It has been stated in the examination-in-Chief that no opportunity of gearing was given to the plaintiff before imposing the penalty of dismissal. There is no reliable evidence to rebut the same. It is not dispute at the bar that no opportunity of hearing was given before ing the impugned order though an opportunity of hearing was given after the pronouncement of the punishment. In my considered view it will be no opportunity and it will be in violation of principles of natural justice, apart from the patent violation of rule 16.24(9) which envisages that before a punishment is imposed on a person an opportunity should be given to show cause that the proposed punishment is disproportionate to the offence committed by him. Nothing substantial has been stated to controvert the said proposition. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh, 1990(2) S.L.R. 88 17. Opportunity of oral hearing. The Statutory requirements of personal hearing envisaged by the portion of clause (ix) just above the proviso, relates to the stage subsequent to the provisional opinion of the competent authority resulting in the service of the ‘show-cause’ notice and prior to the final making up of the mind of the punishing authority. In the instant case, the impugned order shows that not only had the Superintendent of Police made up his mind finally, but had recorded his detailed order wherein he had even considered the question of quantum of punishment and held that there were no extenuating circumstances to inflict on the petitioner any punishment lesser than that of dismissal. Having recorded all that, the punishing authority said in the last sentence of its order that a verbal hearing would, however, be given to the petitioner, as required by the rules “at the time of announcement of the order”. This shows that the alleged verbal hearing given to the petitioner on April 29, 1963, was a mere farce and that the punishing authority had already closed its mind finally in the matter before the oral hearing commenced. This kind of a situation ids often described in legal terminology as a fraud on the requirement of the rule. It has been held in C.P.Govil’s case, 1965(1) DLT 16 that the High Court can set aside any finding or order which has been arrived at without observance of procedure required by law and in violation of principles of natural justice. We are of the considered opinion that the impugned order was ed without observance of the procedure prescribed in clause (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Police Rules and the hearing after the perpetration of the final order and just before its announcement, was a cheer formality which cannot be held to have satisfied the requirements of the rule and which appears to have violated the principles of natural justice. Siri Ram vs. State of Punjab, 1967 S.L.R. 678 18. Opportunity of personal hearing. In of this position the petitioner had also annexed (he has also referred to other instances) a copy of the order of the order of the Inspector General of Police (Annexure Z-19) in Revision Petition filed by H.C.Vinodi Lal where an order of reduction in rank, ed on the ground of his having contracted a second marriage during the life-time of his first wife, was quashed on the ground that Rule 16.24(I)(viii) a similar rule which applied to his case-which required that he should be called upon to appear before the punishing authority and be informed of such punishment being awarded upon him, was not observed. The order of punishment was quashed and fresh orders were directed to be made on the merits of the case from that stage onwards. The rule itself is quite clear; it has been explained and affirmed in the circular issued by the Inspector General of Police on 30.5.1971 (copy of which is Annexure Z-17) drawing attention to the need for the delinquent officer to be http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
produced before the punishing authority before punishment is awarded. There has been a failure to comply with it in the present case; it is unfortunate that inspire of the petitioner asking for a personal hearing he was not granted one. In the view that the enquiry itself has to be quashed from the commencement the need to quash the same from a later stage assumes secondary importance and hence may not have to be discussed further. None the less, reference has been made to this aspect the order to show that in no view of the matter could be punishment of dismissal, as it was originally ed, be justified. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975(2) S.L.R. 683 19. Opportunity to a delinquent. Issuance of a written show cause notice to the delinquent official and the consideration of the reply received in response thereto, amounted to substantial compliance with sub-rule (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Rules, and the said exercise having gone through in the present case, fulfils the requirement of law. The State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand, 1992(1) RSJ (D.B) 61 20. Order of dismissal well reasoned—Personal hearing not given. The main argument of the learned counsel for the applicant Sh. H.S. Mann, rested on the meaning and import of the words “dismissal shall be awarded only for the gravest of misconduct”. It was submitted that assuming that the applicant was guilty of the alleged misconduct, still he could not be dismissed except when there were several acts of misconduct, because the above mentioned rule refers to “acts” and not to an “act” of misconduct. It was observed in Bhagwat Parashad v. Inspector General of Police and other, 1967 SLR 807 that there must be plurality of acts of misconduct, does not appear to be sound as such an interpretation could lead to absurd results. An illustration considered in of the above interpretation was that if a foot constable were to subject a high police officer to a wanton and serious assault, or were to be guilty of a single act of gross insubordination, could was repeated at least once. It was further observed that the use of the words “acts” does not exclude a single act of misconduct and that in order to gauge gravity of misconduct, what matters, is not frequency, as obliquity or delinquency. What really matters is the enormity of the misconduct. Manjit Singh vs. Home Secretary and others, 1989(6) S.L.R. 399 21. Personal hearing – No specific plea. On a reading of the entire written statement, the impression left is that all the requirements of the provisions of law for taking disciplinary action were followed meticulously and there was no violation of infraction of any part of the Rules, and in the absence of the specific plea about non-granting of personal hearing as required by Rule 16.24 of the Police Rules, the State could not be expected to lead evidence in this behalf and the trial Court was not right in observing that the statement of the plaintiff in this behalf remained un-controverted. Evasive plea like the one is to be ignored. The plaintiff has not produced the copy of the order ed by the I.G.Police, from which it dealt with. If the plea about non-granting of personal hearing had been specific then in the interest of justice, I would have allowed the placing on record the copy of the order ed by the I.G. Police, with regard to rebuttal to the other side. Since plea is vague and inconclusive, it is futile to follow this procedure at such a late stage. Joginder Singh vs. Punjab State, 1989(3) S.L.R. 626 = 1992(3) RSJ 1967 22. Personal hearing—Procedure regarding. The first point urged by the counsel for the appellant must succeed. We therefore, hold that the issuance of a written show-cause notice to the delinquent official and the consideration of the reply received in response thereto, amounted to substantial compliance with sub-rule (ix) of rule 16.24(1) of the Rules, and the said exercise having gone through in the present case, fulfills the requirement of law. We are however not unmindful of the fact that written representations are often dealt with in a casual and perfunctory manner and to obviate, this possibility we hold that should a delinquent official request a personal hearing it must be given to him and its denial would vitiate any actin against the official. State of Punjab vs. Parkash Chand Constable, 1992(1) S.L.R. 174 23. Presence before the dismissing authority. Rule 16.24 contemplates two alternatives, either the production of the officer threatened with punishment before the officer who is to that order and the recording of an oral statement after informing him of the charges provided against him or else his submitting a written representation against the order proposed to be ed against him after similarly informing him of the charges proved against him. The onus was on the plaintiff to prove any defect in the proceedings which led to his dismissal. The bare assertion that he was not produced before the Additional Inspector General is not at all sufficient to establish his case. State of Punjab vs. Sunder Singh, 1968 P.L.R.. (S.N) 33 24
Reasons for dispensing with the enquiry. The reasons given for dispensing with the enquiry in he impugned order are: because in the present circumstances if the departmental enquiry is ordered, a large number of witnesses have to be examined and the witnesses may not come forward due to fear of the accused (undertrials) who are still at large and can put the witnesses in constant fear of death and either harm at their hands; that it is not practicable to order a regular departmental enquiry due to the chaotic condition in the Punjab created due to the extremists menace. The said two reasons could not be said to be relevant or extraneous as to hold that the enquiry should not have been dispensed with. Swaran Singh, Head Constable vs. State of Punjab and another, 1989(4) S.L.R. 171= 1991(2) RSJ 115.
25. Reduction in rank Rule 16.24 of the Punjab Police Rules leaves no manner of doubt that it is incumbent on the punishing authority to afford a personal hearing before an order of dismissal or reduction in rank is ed. Rulia Ram Vs. The Punjab State, 1968 P.L.R. (S.N.) 27. 51.
Reference to District Magistrate. Rule 16.24(1) (ii) of the Punjab Police Rules shows that “when the allegations are such as can form the basis of a criminal charge. The Superintendent shall decide”----- whether the accused shall be tried departmentally first and judicially thereafter. A harmonious reading of Rules 16.24 (ii) and 16.38 shows that the Superintendent of Police is not required to send information to the District Magistrate regarding any and every criminal offence committed by a police officer. It is in this context, that the use of the expression “ in connection with his official relations with the public” becomes significant. Unless this requirement of Rule 16.38 is satisfied, no reference to the District Magistrate is required. A police officer when accused of criminal offence can be dealt with departmentally and can also be prosecuted in a criminal Court. Rule 16.24(1)(ii) as mentioned above, empowers the Superintendent of Police to take decision in this behalf. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(7) S.L.R. 246.
52.
Termination of probationer on the ground of taking part in “a non-taking food compaign” The impugned order of removal dismissal of service was in substance and in effect in order made by way of punishment after considering the service conduct of petitioner . There is no doubt the impugned order casts a stigma on the service career of the petitioner and the order being made by way of punishment, the petitioner is entitled to the protection afforded by the provisions of Article 311(2) of the Constitution as well as by the provision of Rule 16.24(ix)(b) of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934. The petitioner has not been served with any charges of misconduct in discharging of his duties as a police constable nor has he ever been asked to show cause against the said charges. The order of removal from service was made because of his union activities namely participating in the call for expressing the protest of the association for improvement in service conditions by abstaining from taking meals in the Mess on 15th August , 1982 although the petitioner like other of the association performed his duties on that day an did not abstain from duty. It cannot be said in the facts and circumstances of the case that the impugned order is an order simplicities of removal from service of probationer in accordance with the and conditions of the service. The impugned order undoubtedly, tantamount to dismissal from service by reason of misconduct of the petitioner in discharge of the official duties as police constable. Hardeep Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1987(4) S.L.R. 576.
53.
Word “enforcement”. The Enforcement Department was a still a Police Department and a Deputy Superintendent of Police (Enforcement) was still a Deputy Superintendent of Police competent to conduct enquiry. The word “enforcement” merely specifies the department to which he was attached. Union of India vs. Jagjit Singh, 1969 S.L.R. 356.
16.25. Standards of evidence and nature of charges.—(1) A police officer called upon the answer a charge of misconduct must be given every reasonable opportunity of proving his innocences; officers conducting departmental enquiries are, however, not bound to follow the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code or Indian Evidence Act. They may it any evidence which they consider relevant, and should exclude evidence which is irrelevant to the specific charge under enquiry, or which is introduced merely to prejudice the opposite party or to could the issue. They require only that standard of proof which is necessary to satisfy themselves whether the charge is established or not. Discipline must also be maintained in relation tot he proceedings of departmental enquiries, Refusal by an accused police officer to plead or answer questions; inordinate delay in producting his defence; insubordinate behaviour before the enquiring officer, and the intemperate or impertinent questioning of officers by accused officers who are their inferiors in official status, are, in addition to being contrary to the spirit of the rules for the conduct of departmental enquiries, entirely contrary to the requirements of discipline, and shall be treated accordingly. (2) Charges need not be framed in relation only to a specific incident or act of misconduct. When reports received against an officer or a preliminary enquiry show that his general behaviour has been such as to be unfitting to his position, or that he has failed to reach or maintain a reasonable standard of efficiency he may and should be charged accordingly, and a finding of guilty on such a charge will be valid ground for the infliction of any authorized departmental punishment which may be considered suitable in the circumstances of the case.

If the Inspector-General decides to the request, he will apply to the Chief Secretary to Government for the services of member of the of selected retired officer.

Penalty—Enhancement of. COMMENTS
1. Appellate Authority had no jurisdiction to remand the case to the punishing authority to a de novo order of punishment. A plain reading of the Rule makes it clear that the Appellate Authority i.e. the Deputy Inspector General of Police, had the following options after calling for the record and the award made by his subordinate authority : (i) to confirm the award; (ii) to enhance, modify or annul the award, or make further investigation himself, or direct such further investigation to be made by the subordinate authorities before ing the orders of confirmation, enhancement, modification or annulment. He had no jurisdiction to remand the case to the punishing authority to a de novo order of punishment. The jurisdiction of the Appellate Authority having been specified by the statutory provisions, the jurisdiction to remand shall be deemed to have been impliedly not granted. In view of this, the remand order being without jurisdiction, all the subsequent proceedings shall be deemed to be void and without jurisdiction. Punjab State vs. Piara Singh, Ex-Head Constable 1988(7) S.L.R. 493 2. I.G. competent to review the proceedings and enhance the penalty imposed by Superintendent of Police. The provisions of the Act cannot be carried properly unless suitable and detailed rules are made with a view to see that proper and appropriate punishment is awarded in a particular case consistent with the efficiency of the police force and the idea of prevention and detection of crime. When, therefore, the State Government framed Rule 161 and provided the lessor punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture approved service, it was completely within its powers under Section 46 to frame such a rule. To sum up, therefore, we are of the opinion that it is not possible to contend successfully that Rule 16-1 which contemplates the punishment of stoppage of increment or forfeiture of approved service is in any manner ultra vires the statute. Shri Bhagat Ram vs. Inspector General of Police, himachal Pradesh and others, 1979(3) S.L.R. 256 3 Penalty - - Enhancement of.

The ratio of this judgment is not applicable to the facts of this case. Another judgment relied upon is State of Mysore vs. H.D. Kolkar, 1974(1) SLR 51. The facts of this case are completely different from the facts of the case under consideration.

1. Appeal against order of dismissal from service. ittedly, the petitioner was not gien personal hearing so the impugned order ed on appeal is allowed with costs and the impugned order of dismissal from service and the order ed on appeal are hereby quashed. The respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner with full back wages with 12% interest per annum, within a month. Darshan Singh vs. State of Punjab and another, 1991(4) S.L.R. 102 2. Enquiry—Scope and application. As a matter of fact rule 16.29 deals with a stage after the original order of punishment has been ed. All that this sub-rule (4) of Rule 16.29 means is that though the right to obtain a complete record is available to the police official after the original order has been impugned this will not entitle him to also ask for the copies of the file/report during th3e pendency of the original proceedings, that is to say that if on the first day 2/3 witnesses have been examined the police official cannot insist that he be should be given copies of their statements for the purpose of cross-examining the other witnesses who are to be examined on subsequent days. This rule deals with a situation about the supply of copies during the course of the enquiry and has no relevancy to whether the copies of the statements recorded at preliminary enquiry should be given to the Police Officer or not for the purpose of cross-examining the witnesses when they are examined at the enquiry. This rule does not, therefore, in any way prohibit the supply of the copies of the prior statements of the witnesses which are needed to exercise the effective right of cross-examination and is a content of the reasonable opportunity to which the police officials has Constitutional right. As the statements of those witnesses were denied to the plaintiff there is no scope from the conclusion that the plaintiff was denied a reasonable opportunity and the order is liable to be struck down on this ground also.

(2) An appeal which is not filed within a month of the date of the original order, exclusive of the time taken to obtain a copy of the order or record, shall be barred by limitation.

1. Acquittal on benefits of doubt – While discussing the evidences the Magistrate observed that “in the present case all the eye witnesses including Constable Raja Ram, P.W.2 turned hostile and though, cross-examined by the learned P.P. nothing material favourable to the prosecution could be elicited.” One of the prosecution witnesses Ishwari Lal who was the sole witness before Enquiry Officer of Departmental proceedings completely reverted from his statement given to the police and confronted with his own statement before the P.P. in the criminal proceedings. After a detailed discussion the Magistrate concluded on the following lines. “In view of the above discussion I hold that prosecution has not been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against accused Mehak Singh. I accordingly give the benefit of doubt to accused Mehakk Singh and acquit him.” From the above it is, therefore, clear that the petitioner had been acquitted on the benefit of doubt and not on merits. We see no reason why the acquittal should be a bar against the departmental proceedings. Mehak Singh vs. Union of India etc., 1987(2) S.L.R. 357. 2. Not obligatory on the appellate to give detailed reasons for – In dealing with the question as to whether it is obligatory on the appellate authority to give reasons in of he order rejection the appeal as required under Rule 16.31 of the Rules, it has to be borne in mind that disciplinary proceedings against a delinquent official begin with an inquiry conducted by an Officer appointed in that behalf and the same is followed by a report which is considered by the punishing authority and having regard to the material which is thus made available and which is also made available to the delinquent official, also the punishing authority accepts the findings of the Enquiry Officer and thereafter issues a show cause notice, proposing punishment and then imposes punishment after considering the reply to the show cause notice. In the case in hand the punishing authority had recorded a detailed order (A-5) while imposing the punishment of dismissal form service upon the applicant. In the circumstances of the case, it was not obligatory on the appellate pugned order (A-5) for agreeing with the reasons and conclusions arrived at by the punishing authority. Manjit Singh vs. Secretary and others, 1989(6) S.L.R. 399. 16.32. Revision – An officer whose appeal has been rejected is prohibited from assaying for a fresh scrutiny of the evidence. Such officer may, however, apply, within a month of the date of despatch of appellate orders to him, to the authority next above the prescribed appellate authority for revision on grounds of material irregularity in the proceedings or on production of fresh evidence, and may submit to the same authority a plea for mercy: provided that no application for the revision of an order by the Inspector-General will be entertained. An officer whose appeal has been heard by the Inspector-General may, however, submit to the Inspector-General a plea for mercy or may apply to the Inspector General for a review of his appellate http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

order only on the ground that fresh evidence has become available since the appellate order has been p0ronounced. This rule does not affect the provisions of rule 16.28.Such application or plea must be in English. SYNOPSIS 1. Mercy petition before Inspector General of Police. COMMENTS 1. Mercy petition before Inspector General of Police. It is not necessary to decide this question for the simple reason that the order of the Inspector General of Police in revision cannot be maintained, because while dealing with the revision-cummercy petition, he took into consideration the so called, chequered service records so the petitioners which, as observed by the learned Single Judge, did not form part of the charge and was not gone into by the Enquiry Officer and the petitioners were also not given any opportunity to meet this aspect of the case. Consequently, in view of the observations of their Lordships of the Supreme Court in K. Manche Gowda’s case (supra) which were referred to in Amar Nath’s case (supra), decided by the learned Singled Judge, the two writ petitions had to be quashed. It would be open to the order of the Inspector General of Police had to be quashed. It would be open to the Inspector General of Police to go into the whole question, including the instructions of 1961 issued by the Inspector General of Police referred to above, and to decide once again not only about the misconduct of the two petitioners, but also about the proper punishment that is to be inflicted. The question, whether in the circumstances of this case, the departmental authorities could or could not arrive at the conclusion that the misconduct of which the petitioners were found to be guilty did or did not amount to gravest act of misconduct within the meaning of rule 16.2 of the Rules, must be left open Normally speaking this court would be most reluctant to go into the question of the nature of the misconduct after the matter has been dealt with by the authorities, yet there may arise a case where the conclusion arrived at is such that the same cannot possible be maintained. However, as stated above, it is not necessary for us to decide this point in the present case, at this stage. The Inspector General of Police, Punjab vs. Balbir Singh, 1973(2) S.L.R. 271 16.33. Removal from promotion lists.—Removal of a name from a promotion list may follow from the award of punishment for a specific offence, or be ordered on general grounds. In neither case shall a formal charge be framed nor evidence recorded, but an order shall be recorded in writing and given effect to through an entry in the Order Book. The original order of the authority ordering removal shall be read out to the officer concerned, but a copy thereof shall not be given to him and no appeal shall be lie against it. 16.34. Suspension of officer immediately responsible.—If a prisoner escapes or is rescued from police custody, the enrolled police officer immediately responsible shall forthwith be suspended from duty. A searching departmental inquiry shall at once be held by or under the orders of the Superintendent. The object of this inquiry shall be the elucidation of all the circumstances connected with the escape or rescue and the determination of the issue whether the escape or rescue could have been prevented by the exercise of such vigilance and courage on the part of the enrolled police officer by the exercise of such vigilance and courage on the part of the enrolled police officer immediately responsible as might reasonable have been expected, and whether it was rendered possible or facilitated by any neglect or omission of duty on the part of any superior enrolled police officer. SYNOPSIS 1. Rormaing of rule in consonance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Punjab Police Act, 1961. COMMENTS 1. Framing of rule in consonance with the provisions of Section 7 the Punjab Police Act, 1961. It has been contended that the provision of Rule 16.28 are beyond the Rule making powers conferred under Section 7 of the Punjab Police Act. In my view the provisions of Rule 16.28 do not infringe the provisions of Sec.7 in any manner whatsoever. No provision of the aforesaid Rule, confers the powers of any officer lower in rank than the Appointing Authority to inflict any punishment or enchance a punishment nor it is shown to be in any way beyond the rule making powers of the authorities. The decision in the case mentioned above also is clearly distinguishable as the Court had found the rule to be beyond the rule making power conferred by Section 25(2)(c) of the Bombay Police Act, 1951, which had fallen for consideration. Such in not position here. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others,1991(7) S.L.R. 246 16.35. Re-instatement after suspension.—On the conclusion of the enquiry, if the Superintendent finds that no misconduct attaches to the police officer or officers suspended, he shall reinstate them. In order to guard against any laxity in enforcing the responsibility for escapes, Deputy Inspector General should freely exercise their powers under rule 16.28 in respect of such cases. 16.36. Action when negligence is established.—If the enquiry establishes negligence or connivance in an escape, thereby cretin a presumption that an offence under Section 221,222 or 223, Indian Penal Code, has been committed, the police officer concerned shall be prosecuted criminally, unless the District Magistrate on a reference by the Superintendent of Police decides, for reasons to be recorded, that the case shall be dealt with departmentally. If the enquiry establishes a breach of discipline or misconduct not amounting to an offence under any of the sections of the Indian Penal Code mentioned above, the case shall ordinarily be dealt with departmentally. The criminal prosecution under this rule of an upper subordinate shall not be undertaken without the sanction of the Deputy Inspector General of Police. 16.37. Dismissal the normal punishment in escape cases.—(1) Dismissal shall normally follow a judicial or departmental conviction for negligence resulting in the escape of the prisoner and may, with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General for review of the orders ed. The Deputy Inspector General, will, however, no orders until the period of appeal has expired. If an appeal is lodged, the period of appeal has expired. If an appeal is lodged, the punishment will be examined in the ordinary way, if there is no appeal, the Deputy Inspector General will proceed to review the punishment if he considers it necessary. If the Deputy Inspector General decides to enchance the punishment awarded, an appeal will then lie against such order to the Inspector General. If an appeal does not lie against the original punishment awarded, the Deputy Inspector General will proceed to review the case as soon as he received it. (2) The authority to retain in the service an enrolled police officer, who has been convicted of neglect either judicially or departmentally in connection with an escape, shall rest with the Deputy Inspector General, or, in the case of Inspectors, with the Inspector General. If extenuating circumstance sexist, they shall be clearly stated and application made to or through the Deputy Inspector General to award any authorized punishment other than dismissal. SYNOPIS 1. Ordinarily order of suspension suspends the contract of service COMMENTS. 1. Ordinarily order of suspension suspends the contract of service. The documents, orders and communications referred to earlier make it clear that the convictions of the respondent by way of stoppage of 2 years increment was on of the enquiry held against him. Even in his writ petition, the respondent had proceeded on the basis that the departmental enquiry was on of the escape of the said Bahadur Singh and that the order of stoppage of increment for a period of two years, was the punishment awarded to him as a result of the said enquiry. We are therefore, not in agreement with the finding of the learned single Judge that there was no evidence to show that the punishment meted out to the respondent could not be said to be on of the finding of misconduct in connection with the escape of said Bahadur Singh in the said enquiry. Superintendent of Police was authorised to vacate his own order of suspension to reinstate the respondent. It is correct that as a rule a person who has authority to an order has also the authority to vacate it but this is subject to the law or statutory rules. Rule 16.37(2) specifically provides:--“the authority to retain in service an enrolled police officer, who has been convicted of neglect either judicially or departmentally in connection with an escape, shall rest with the Inspector General of Police…..” In the face of this clear provision contained in the Police Rules as applicable to H.P. we are of the view that the Superintendent of Police had not authority to reinstate the respondent in service and that his order dated 1st September, 1965, was in violation of the above quoted rule, and, therefore, invalid and of no effect. The Inevitable result of this conclusion would be that the aforesaid order of reinstatement has to be treated as non-existent and would have the result of revising the order of suspension dated August 21, 1965. If the respondent had not resumed duty in pursuance of even the aforesaid invade order of reinstatement, this appeal would have had to be allowed. The difficulty in the way of appellants, however, is that the respondent had resumed duty on September 1, 1965, in pursuance of the aforesaid order of reinstatement even though invalid. Ordinarily, and order of suspension suspends the contract of http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

service. At the same time, the employer is not entitled to take any work from the servant during the period of suspension. It must, therefore, follow that if the employee is allowed to resume duty during the period of suspension and does discharge his duties, he would immediately become entitled to his full emoluments instead of the suspension allowance that may have been fixed. In the present case, the respondent ittedly resumed his duties on September 1, 1965, and continued to discharge them until July 3, 1967, when the appellant No.2 sent the aforesaid endorsement to him in pursuance of the orders of appellant No.1. The respondent is therefore, entitled to his full salary for the period between September 1, 1965, ad July 3, 1967 not witstanding the revival of the order of suspension dated August 21,1965. The said order dated July 3, 1967 can, therefore, be effective only from that date as held by the learned single Judge and it is bad in so far as it purports to place the respondent under suspension with effect from August 21, 1965. Inspector General of Police, Hymachal Pradesh vs. Munshi Ram, 1971(2) S.L.R. 39 (For Haryana) 16.38.Criminal offences by police officers and strictures by courts—procedure regarding.—(1) Where a preliminary enquiry or investigation into a complaint alleging the commission by an enrolled police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public, establishes a prima facie case, a judicial prosecution shall normally follow.

Charge against police official regarding molestation of a girl. Rule 16.38 shows that it is the District Magistrate who, on receipt of information regarding the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection which his official relations with the public , is firstly to decide whether investigations of the complaint shall be conducted by a police officer or made over a selected Magistrate having first class powers. If a prima facie case is established, then a judicial prosecution has normally to follow. It is the District Magistrate who has to decide whether instead of a judicial protection the matter should be disposed of departmentally. Rule 16.38 (1) and (2) vests the power in the District Magistrate alone. The judicial prosecution is the rule and the departmental inquiry as an exception. The sources of power to direct departmental inquiry instead lays down the authority empowered to act.

would be justified and to give and valid reasons for the proposed departure. The jurisdiction to exercise the power under PPR 16.38(1) and (2) is given to the District Magistrate. A District Magistrate is other than an Addl. District Magistrate. The distinction between the post of a District Magistrate and an Addl. District Magistrate is quite clear and the two cannot be equated. By virtue of the notification, an Addl. District Magistrate may exercise all or any of the powers of the District Magistrate under the Criminal Procedure Code or under any other law for the time being in force, but he does not thereby acquire the status and rank of the District Magistrate. Whatever might be the powers of the Addl. District Magistrate to carry on the istration of the District, he is not appointed as a District Magistrate. There is an absence of a notification under Section 10(1) and thus the two above named officers are not appointed as District Magistrate. The exercise of power under PPR 16.38(1) and (2) is vested in a District Magistrate and could not by the side wind of a notification under Section 10(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code be conferred on an Addl. District Magistrate. The Addl. District Magistrate, who is invested with the powers of a District Magistrate, does not thereby attain the status of the District Magistrate as sub-section (3) of Section 10 itself makes clear. The fact that the Addl. District Magistrate may have all the powers of a District Magistrate may have all the powers of a District Magistrate does not make him a District Magistrate inasmuch as there can be only one person in the District which can be a District Magistrate and that is what is referred to in Rule 16.38(1) and (2). Malkiyat Singh vs. Delhi istration and others, 1989(3) S.L.R. 58. 2.
Charge of Bigamy against Police Head Constable. The disciplinary authority was not competent is issue the second show cause notice after issue of the first show cause notice and he could not direct taking the additional evidence by way of examination of the first wife of the applicant. He also pointed out that as contended by the respondents, P.P.R. 16.28 was not applicable to the present case. The applicant was informed on 9.1.1969 (Annexure ‘O’ to the petition) that “a Superintendent of Police, is empowered to make further investigation or direct such to be made before ing order P.P.R. 16.28. In the present case, P.P.R. 16.28 is not attracted and the disciplinary authority could not act under the provisions thereof because the said Rule envisages calling for the records of awards made by the subordinates. No rule, however, has been shown to us which prohibits or limits the powers of the disciplinary authority in directing the recording of fresh evidence in the light of the plea advance-by the delinquent officer in his reply to the show-cause-notice. In the present case, the applicant had taken the plea in his reply to the first show-cause-notice that he had contracted the second marriage with the consent of his first wife, who had been ailing for 13 years. Vinodi Lal vs. Union of India and others, 1988(5) S.L.R. 543.

Colourable attempt to avoid effect of Rule 16.38 sub-rule (1). The allegations against Ram Kishan and others were that they had inflicted a knife injury on Mst. Batto, a Harijan woman and the medical report showed that the injury was with a blunt weapon though the injury was simple. He further said that S.P. ordered him to start a departmental inquiry against the plaintiff. There is no evidence that any immediate information was given to the District Magistrate of the complaint received against the plaintiff. Neither is there any evidence that the District Magistrate decided that the investigation shall be conducted by the police officers, who conducted it. The learned counsel for the Government further contended that the charge against the plaintiff in the departmental proceedings was a charge of negligence and not a charge in connection with the commission of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with public. But according to the final sentence in the summary of allegations this action amounted to gross negligence of duty and misconduct. It seems to us that it was a colourable attempt to a void the effect of Police Rule 16.38 sub-rule (1). It is a clear case of criminal offence and it was a mere device to call it gross negligence. Following the case Delhi istration vs. Chaman Shah, (1969) 3 SCR 653, we hold that as in this case there has been no compliance whatsoever of Rule 16.38, sub rule (1) the order of dismissal is illegal. Union of India vs. Ram Kishan, 1972 S.L.R. 11.

Commission of Criminal offence by Police Officer. Judicial prosecution is the rule and departmental enquiry is an exception. Malkiyat Singh vs. Delhi istration and others, 1989(2) RSJ 74.
5.
Complaint-Departmental proceedings. The Superintendent of Police is required to send information to the District Magistrate only when a criminal offence has been committed by a police officer “in connection with his official relations with the public”. In the present case, there is nothing on record to show that the petitioner was accused of having committed an offence in connection with his official relations with the public. It was during the preliminary enquiry, that some evidence came on the record to show that the petitioners had certain connection with the wife of Dharam Pal. The proceedings were initiated in the present case, on the basis of a complaint submitted by ASI Shkhbir Singh, and the complaint itself did not disclose the commission of a criminal offence by the petitioner in connection with his official relations with the public. Brij Pal Singh, Constable vs. State of Haryana and others, 1991(7) S.L.R. 246.

Condition of service. Police officers hold office during the pleasure of the President under Article 310 of the Constitution. The condition of their service can be regulated by the legislature under the proviso to Article 309 and the Police Act, 1861 may be regarded as such legislation. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R. 502.
7.
Concurrence of the District Magistrate not obtained before ing the order. It is not disputed that concurrence of the District Magistrate had not been obtained. In view of this, the order of removal ed against the petitioner for the criminal offence committed by him in connection with his official relation with the public was ed in violation of the said mandatory rule. The order shall thus be deepend to be a viod order. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh, 1990(2) S.L.R. 88.

Criminal Prosecutoin against police officer. Rule 16.38 prescribes-more correctly we may say Rule 16.38 lays down the guidelines of the procedure to be followed when a Superintendent of Police receives any complaint about the commission of a criminal offence by a police officer “in connection with his official relations with the public”. The Superintendent of Police is ened to give immediate information to the District Magistrate who is thereupon to decide whether the investigation of the complaint shall beconducted by a Police Officer or by a Magistrate. It is stated htat though’s judicial prosection shall normally follow’, the matter may be disposed of departmentally if the District Magistrate so orders, for reasons to be recorded. The further Departmental procedure is prescribed by the remaining clauses. It is clear that Rule 16.38 is not designed to be a condition precedent to the launching of a prosecution in a Criminal Court; it is in the nature of instructions to the Department and is not meant to be of the nature of a sanction or permission for the prosecution. Nor can it override the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act. State of Punjab vs. Charan Singh, 1981(1) S.L.R. 355.

Criminal Prosecution Rule confined only to departmental enquiries. The only point pressed upon me is that the Courts below have gone wrong in holding that the compliance with Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, 1934, was not a condition precedent to the prosecution of a police officer in a court of law. I find no merit in this submission. A plain reading of the said Rule shows that its application is confined to departmental enquiries only. Lal Chand vs. The State, 1983(2) S.L.R 33.

Delay in taking departmental proceedings after acquittal from Criminal Court. It was also follow that he would not only be entitled to be confirmed in his rank of Sub-Inspector of Police but his seniority as Sub-Inspector would also have to be properly determined attracting the further consequence of whatever opportunities that might accrue to him in the matter of promotion. A part from the view, which I have taken, that this was not permissible or legal, it seems difficult to justify the delay in taking such departmental action. No justification for this has even been attempted in the return in spite of a specific complaint of “harassment” and “vindictiveness” by reason of such departmental action being taken against him, after such delay. The whole of these proceedings have to be also viewed in the background of P.P.R. 16.38 which requires that every allegations of committing a criminal offence by a police officer in his relations with the public as a police officer having to be reported to the District Magistrate without loss of much time (three months) for him to decide whether the matter should be placed before a Court or, for reasons to be recorded by him in writing, only departmental action should be taken. Elementary fairness to a public servant would require that the sword of Democles should not be allowed to hang over him longer than necessary; otherwise there is the likehood of degeneraction into an engine of oppression. Whether the departmental action taken against the petitioner in this case was legal or illegal, mininum fairness required that the said action was taken at least expeditiously and not after so much unexplained delay as has unfortunately happened in this case.

Departmental enquiry after deviation from the normal rule of prosecution. After the completion of the departmental enquiry against him in pursuance of the said order. According to the learned counsel if the petitioner had felt aggrieved by this order he should have challenged it right at the stage when the departmental enquiry was launched against him. This submission of the learned counsel prima facie appears to be of some

weight but holds no water when examined minutely. It is nobody’s case that order Annexure P.3 was ever communicated to the petitioner at any stage. He thus never knew that the Deupty Commissioner had ed the order for initiating a departmental enquiry against him without recording any reasons for the same. Sarup Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 585. 13.
Departmental enquiry-Criminal Prosecution. The only object of this rule is that no offence alleged to have been committed by a police officer in connection his official relations with the public and brought to the notice of the Superintendent of Police should be disposed of departmentally ion accordance with the provisions of the rules found in Chapter XVI without obtaining the prior approval of the District Magistrate for that purpose. Judicial prosecution for such an offence is the normal rule and departmental action is an exception and it is only to bring the case within that exception that prior direction or order of a District Magistrate is required. In case the normal procedure of launching judicial prosecution is to be followed, there should be no necessity of obtaining the prior approval of the District Magistrate and certainly it was not the intention of rule 16.38 to obtain such a sanction in derogation of the relevant provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If the construction as sought to be placed by the learned counsel for the petitioners for rule 16.38 is acceded to, it would be difficult to reconcile the provisions of rules 16.11 and 16.12 with those of rule 16.38. Shri Beli Ram and others vs. State of Himachal Pradesh, 1981(1) S.L.R. 264.

Departmental enquiry--- Reduction in rank. It can easily be concluded that noncompliance of P.P.R. 16.38 is fatal to the departmental/enquiry held against the applicant. It cannot be disputed that under Rule 16.38, it was proper for the authority concerned to initiate legal proceedings against he applicant in the normal course. Since the deviation has been made from the normal rule and departmental proceedings were initiated against the applicant without seeking permission of the District Magistrate, the departmental enquiry conducted against the applicant is illegal. It was necessary that for initiating departmental enquiry against the applicant, the permission of the District Magistrate was obtained. The result of the above observations is that the departmental enquiry held against he applicant was not in consonance with the provisions as contained under Rule 16.38. Gurdyan Singh vs. State of H.P. and others, 1988(7) S.L.R. 174.
15. Departmental enquiry without the permission of District Magistrate not bad. A perusal of the charge-sheet set out leaves no manner of doubt that the allegations against the petitioner was (1) that he mixed up the bad characters of ilaqa (2) that he was found absent from the police station without permission on the night between 6/7-8-66 about 11.5 P.M. (3) that an entry in that respect was made in the daily at serial No. 26 dated 6th August, 1966. The said charges can be enquired into 16. Departmental inquiry. According to the plain intention of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, Vol.II, the District Magistrate is to decided for himself whether the enquiry was to be done by a Magistrate or by a police officer. The enquiry by a police officer may, not be desirable in many cases and it is not for the Superintendent of Police himself to suggest that a departmental enquiry should be launched. All that the Superintendent of Police is ened to do is to submit his report to the District Magistrate who alone is to decide what should be done. Rule 16.38 had been breached in two essential aspects and the enquiry had been initiated in violation of the elementary rules of procedure and the order of dismissal was set aside. Walaiti Ram vs. State of Punjab, 1965 Cur.L.J.1=1967 P.L.R.523 17. Departmental officer is not excepted to put his complaint in the form of a Petition. A Departmental officer is not excepted to put his complaint in the form of a petition. It may take the form of a departmental note or a confidential report. Sometime the information or accusation received may be oral or to be inferred from the conduct of the concerned police officer. The facts against him themselves may speak more eloquently than any piece of writing. A certain secrecy is often attached to information relating to the commission of an offence and it would be against human nature to expect that such information must always be in writing. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R.502 18. Disciplinary proceedings. It is not absolutely necessary that a list of prosecution witnesses must be given to the Government servant facing the inquiry to make him know the charges brought against him. Union of India vs. Suraj Bhan , I.L.R. (1970) 1 Delhi 275 19. Dismissal – Dispensing with enquiry.

Ashok Kumar, former Sub Inspector vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990(2) RSJ 505 20. Dismissal from service. Case not brought to the notice of District Magistrate.—S.S.P. failing to perform statutory obligation – Impugned order of dismissal cannot be sustained. Ex.Sub Inspector Mohinder Singh Cheema vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (2) RSJ 716 21. Dispensing with enquiry. There was no material before the Superintendent of Police to come to the conclusion that it was not reasonably practicable to hold enquiry in this case. The satisfaction of the Punishing Authority is the condition precedent for invoking the provisions of Proviso to Article 311 of the Constitution . A bare perusal itself shows that the Superintendent of Police has held that it was not reasonably practicable to hold departmental enquiry. I asked Mr.Rajiv Atma Ram, counsel for the respondent to show the material on the basis of which this satisfaction was based. There is hardly any material on record on the basis of which an opinion can be formed that it was not reasonably practicable to hod a departmental enquiry. Consequently, the order of dismissal in the present case is wholly arbitrary, unreason able and capricious and, therefore, cannot be sustained. The order of the Superintendent of Police is clearly outside the scope of Article 311 of the constitution and consequently it was incumbent upon the Superintendent of Police to have held enquiry in the present case before punishing the petitioner. Ashok Kumar, Sub Inspector of Police vs. State of Punjab and others, 1990 (3) S.L.R. 127 22.District Magistrate gave sanction without recording any reasons. In the present case the complaint received by the Superintendent of Police (City) Delhi indicated the commission by the appellant of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. The complaint fell within Rule 38(1) and should have been dealt with accordingly. Nevertheless there was no investigation of the kind prescribed by Rule 38(1) . The District Magistrate did not direct any preliminary investigation nor was any prima facie case against the appellant as a result of such an investigation established. In state of Uttar Pradesh vs. Babu Ram Upadhya 1961(2) SCR 679, the Court by majority held that the provisions of paragraph 486 Rule 1 of the U.P.Police Regulations were mandatory and that a departmental action against the police officer in disregard there of was invalid. The minority held that the paragraph was directory and as there was substantial compliance with its provisions the departmental proceedings were not invalid. In Jagan Nath vs. Sr. Supdt. of Police, Ferozepur, AIR 1962 Punjab 38, the Punjab High Court held that the provisions of rule 16.38(1) and (2) were mandatory and that a departmental inquiry held without following its provisions was illegal. It is not necessary to decide inquiry held without following its provisions was illegal. It is not necessary to decide in this case whether the provisions of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules are mandatory or directory. Even assuming that there rule is directory we find that there has been no substantial compliance with its provisions. The complaint fell within rule 16-38 and it was for the District Magistrate to decide who should investigate the case. No investigation of any kind was made under the directions. Without obtaining his directions, the Superintendent of Police held an inquiry, and ed on order of censure. The order was set aside by the Deputy Inspector General. Thereafter by D.O. letter No. 2165-C, the Superintendent of Police, asked for the sanction of the District Magistrate to proceed departmentally. Evan at this stage, the District Magistrate was no informed that the Superintendent of Police held an inquiry and ed an order of censure and that, his order was set aside by the Deputy Inspector General. The inquiry held by the Superintendent of Police was not authorised by the District Magistrate nor did it receive his approval. The District Magistrate gave his sanction without recording any reasons and without applying his mind to the requirement of Rule 16-38. In the circumstances, we are constrained to hold the departmental action taken against the respondent is invalid. Delhi istration vs. Chanan Shah 1969 S.L.R.217. 23. District Magistrate ordering departmental enquiry. The report of the Vigilance Department was enclosed with the papers forwarded by the Superintendent of Police, the District Magistrate must be deemed to have made a perusal of it and the order ed for a departmental enquiry was a full compliance with the Police Rules. Ram Singh Dhawan vs. The State of Punjab, 1967 P.L.R. 763 24. District Magistrate to decide as to whether the investigation of a particular type of complaint shall be conducted by a Police Officer or by a Magistrate. The Legislature has itself performed the essential function of creating an agency to detect crimes and what has been delegated to the Executed Government is the task to implementing the purposes and the objects of the Act. It would be trite to say that an effective and proper method of implementing the policy of the Legislature would be to frame rules on the subject for ensuring uniformity of treatment. The crimes may be committed by the public at large or by their of the agency created by the statute. The procedure for investigation of these crimes is essentially a matter of detail and the task of providing for this procedure has been left to the Executive authority. The impugned rule only empowers a District Magistrate to step in and to make a choice between one agency or the other to investigate a particular class of crimes committed by police officers. It falls squarely within clause (a) of sub-section (2) of Section 46 and has the added protection of clause (c) of sub-section of the same section. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab, 1976(1) S.L.R. 5 25. Enquiry—Departmental proceedings. I am of the opinion that this was merely a formal order ed in pursuance of the decision of the Chief Commissioner taken on 11th of January, 1977, in which discussion even the District Magistrate was present and he merely carried out the decision of http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
the Chief Commissioner and in furtherance of the same ed the order dated 12th of January, 1977. It is again not disputed before me that under subrule (2), there has to be application of mind by the District Magistrate alone and the moment it is found that he did not apply his own mind but ed the order on the dictates of some superior authority, then such an order would be no order in the eyes of law and would stand vitiated. The question which is to be seen is whether on the facts of the present case, the order dated 12th of January, 1977, was ed by the District Magistrate of his own or at the behest of the Chief Commissioner, pursuant to the decision dated 11th of January, 1977, in which the District Magistrate was also present. As already found above, the District Magistrate was merely carrying out the order of the Chief Commissioner dated 11th of January, 1977, and, therefore, the order dated 12th of January, 1977, ed by the District Magistrate cannot be allowed to stand in law and deserves to be quashed. Sita Ram, Sub-Inspector of Police vs. Union Territory of Chandigarh and others, 1981(1) S.L.R. 438 26. Enquiry officer recommended his exoneration. A State Government cannot order disciplinary enquiry under R. 1637, 16-38 and 16-40 through an officer other than a police officer or Magistrate. The Rule, therefore, empowers the State Government to conduct an enquiry by such an officer if istrative exigencies so require. The proviso further empowers the State Government to order enquiry under CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965, where it is of the opinion that it is not feasible to conduct an enquiry in accordance with the procedure laid down under the P.P.S. Rules. It can also order such an enquiry, if a t enquiry is found necessary with officers who are governed by the CCS (CCA) Rules. If the enquiry is ordered under R. 16-38 (as was done by the Addel. Commissioner of Police in the present case) the enquiry has to be conducted by a police officer and under the provisions of the Punjab Police Rules. In forming its opinion the State Government must address itself to a question whether it is feasible to conduct an enquiry under R. 16-38 or not. The procedure under R. 16-38 and R. 16-42 is thus mutually exclusive. If there is no inquiry under R. 16-38 then alone an inquiry can be ordered under R. 14-42. If R. 16-38 and R. 16-42 are read together it is clear that once an enquiry is held under R. 16-38 no enquiry can be held simultaneously or afterwards under R. 16-42. Shyamdev vs. union of India and others, 1982(3) S.L.R. 784. 27. Executive instructions – Absence of specific provision in the rules the police authorities are bound to follow instruction. In case the competent or the controlling authority cannot release the official whose assistance is being sought the delinquent official must be informed so that he can suggest another name. The circular upon which the petitioner is relaying takes that principles to its logical conclusion. M. Bagai, learned council for the respondents, was unable to show me any provision in the Police Act or in the Punjab Police Rules by which the respondents have been permitted to ignore the istrative instructions issued from time to time by the Government of India. In my view, in the absence of a specific provision in the Punjab Police Rules to the contrary, the said circular of the Government of India was applicable and the police authorities were ened to follow the same. I reject the contention of Mr. Bagai that the police authorities were not bound by the instructions given in the circular. The non-application of mind by the authorities on this plea ha resulted in injustice. This finding by itself can be made the basis for setting aside the departmental enquiry. But for the reasons which I give herein below I am not setting aside the enquiry proceedings or the impugned orders. Instead in exercise of discretion vested in this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India I mould the relief. The petitioner who was a constable in the Delhi Police has been put of service for the last 16 years, having been dismissed in the year 1968. In the year 1971when he filed the present petition, he was 43 years old, as per his ing affidavit. As to what the petitioner has been doing for the last 16 years in not clear from the petition. Mr. Budhiraja’s contention is that he was without a job and in fact has been idle. Whether he was working or not is not the question to be decided. What is to, be seen is whether he can be said to be physically and mentally fit to undergo the hardships which a constable is expected to face? Would he be able to because of the long interval, carry out the orders of his superiors without any reservation? The petitioner now is 56 years old. In this for intervening period of 16 years, for reasons beyond his control, he could not take part in parades, physical training exercises, games and other training programmes which are essential for a member of police force to remain not only physically fit but also mentally alert. He has been deprived of leading an active, organised and disciplined life. Jiwan Singh vs. The , Union Territory of Delhi and others, 1985(1) S.L.R. 781. 28. Expression “immediate” means “within reasonable” time – The primary justification of rule 16.38 being inserted in the Rules is to ensure priority being given to a criminal trial in preference to a departmental enquiry when a police officer is accused of the commission of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. Under Section 190 of the Criminal Procedure Code, cognizance of an offence may be taken by a criminal court either on a complaint or on a police report or otherwise. This is an additional reason why the meaning of the word ‘complaint’ in the rule can not be restricted only to a written petition. In the present case, the accusation against the plaintiff appellant was that he come into possession of Rs. 150/- in the course of his official duties. He was entrusted with that money. His failure to for the same amounted ton criminal breach of trust within the meaning of Section 405 of Indian Penal Code. He was therefore, entitled to the protection of rule 16.38. The direct institution of departmental action against him in complete disregard of the said rule was, therefore, illegal and ultra vires Rule 16.38. The departmental enquiry and the punishment imposed on the plaintiff by the order dated 20.2.1958 are, therefore, quashed. As the suit of the plaintiff had been dismissed on a preliminary ground, the case is remanded to the trial Court for trial on merits as to whether the police authorities would not like to comply with rule 16.38 and if so whether the plaintiff appellant is to be placed in his former position as officiating Sub-Inspector of Police or on suspension till the matter against him is finally decided and what should be his pay and if he is entitled to the arrears of pay claimed by him and such other matters. Daulat Ram vs. Union of India, 1971(2) S.L.R. 502. 30. Fresh enquiry on same charge – The impact and effect of the word “immediate” in the opening part of rule 16.38(1) of the Police Rules. Permitting resort to the said rule after such a long time, would in my opinion, amount o ignoring the statutory requirements of the said rule. I, therefore, hold that so much of the order of the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Ambala Range (Annexure ‘I) as directs compliance with the provisions of Police Rule 16.38(1) by placing the matter before the District Magistrate, Rohtak at this stage, is contrary to the provisions of law, and has to be struck down. The order of the appellate authority quashing the order of punishment ed by the Superintendent of Police, Rohtak, is manifestly correct and has to be upheld. Bhajan Singh vs. Shri Bahal Singh, S.P. Rohtak and another, 1967 S.L.R. 601. 31. Import and effect of word ‘Immediate’ – Learned counsel has then contended that the observation made in the confidential report of the petitioner (Annexure “H”) which have been quoted in an earlier part of this judgment, and the warning istered to him therein and on April 17, 1965 (Annexure ‘C’) are mala fide and should be quashed. Without entering into the allegations of mala fides, I think the Superintendent of Police had no jurisdiction to ister a warning to the petitioner (warning itself being a punishment), on allegations which were still pending enquiry before the departmental authorities. Same applies to the observations in the confidential report relating to the Chuchakwas liquor taking incident. For the foregoing reasons I set aside and quash the order, dated April 17, 1965 (Annexure ‘C’) istering warning to the petitioner and direct that the portion relating to the Chuchakwas incident from the confidential report (Annexure ‘H’) shall also be deleted.

Intermediate School Course – Petitioners cannot allege any discrimination if persons working in the H.A.P. though confirmed later are sent to attend the Intermediate College. Raj Kumar vs. State of Haryana, 1991(2) RSJ 342. 33. Investigation conducted by D.I.G. – Investigation has ittedly been conducted at least by the D.I.G. into the complaint without complying with the provisions of Rule 16.38(1) of the Police Rules. The entire investigation proceedings against the petitioner in this case have, therefore, been vitiated on that . Avtar Singh Uppal vs. The Inspector General of Police, Chandigarh, 1966 Cur. L.J. 318. 34. Investigation disclosing prima facie case a judicial prosecution should normally follow – The provisions of sub-rules (1) and (2) of Rule 38 are attached in cases of complaint received by the Superintendent of Police, indicating the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relations with the public. In such a case, the Superintendent of Police is required to bring the complaint to the notice of the District Magistrate who is decide whether the investigation of the complaint should be made by a selected Magistrate having first class powers or should be left to a police officer. If the investigation discloses a prima facie case, a judicial prosecution should normally follow unless for reasons to be recorded in writing the District Magistrate directs that the matter should be disposed of departmentally. Delhi istration vs. Chanan Shah, 1969 S.L.R. 217. 35.
Investigation – Offence against police officer – Coming to the facts of the instant case it may be pointed out that in view of the opening words of the said Regulation namely “when the offence alleged against a police officer, amounts to an offence only under Section 7 of the Police Act,” the said Regulation also stands on the same footing as Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rule. In mahendra Singh vs. State, AIR 1956 Allahabad 96 a special Bench of the Allahabad High Court held that Section 7 of he Police AC provides for the departmental punishment of inferior police officers. It was also held that the said section did not it make provision for any inquiry, it merely provided that the exercise of disciplinary powers shall be subject to rules framed by the State Government and Chapter 32 of the Police Regulations laid down these rules which provided for a departmental trial for punishment to be inflicted under Section 7 of the Police Act. In this view of the matter it is apparent that like Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, the procedure prescribed in Regulation486 (1) (3) of the Regulations had to be confined to departmental proceedings under Section 7 of the Police Act and the High Court was clearly in error in taking the view that notwithstanding the provision contained in the proviso to Section 5A of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the undisputed fact that the Inspector of Criminal Branch, Criminal Investigation Department, who conducted the enquiry in the instant case had been duly authorized by the State Government as contemplated by the said proviso, the investigation was vitiated in law on the ground that the said Inspector was

Mandatory—Departmental enquiry. The primary challenge to these orders in on the ground that the procedure prescribed in Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules, as applicable to Haryana, has not been complied with the petitioner has been materially prejudiced by the said noncompliance. The precise argument is that on the basis of the preliminary enquiry held under sub-rule(1) of the said Rules, the District Magistrate concerned had to resoned order for not prosecuting the petitioner in judicial Court which otherwise is a the normal rule. A bare reading of this order manifestly indicates that the District Magistrate has not recorded any reson whatsoever for deviating form the normal course of launching a prosecution against the petitioner and ordering a no compliance of the requirements of sub-rule (2). The District Magistrate who has been arrayed as respondent No. 4 to this writ petition has not even cared to file a reply to the same. Sarup Singh vs . State of Haryana and others, 1983(2) S.L.R. 609.

Misuse of power by police officer. Rule 16.38 however, has no application where information of the commission of such an offence has been received by any Court. The Rule is , however, has on a salutary principle that a complaint of the commission of an offence against the Police Officer should not be dealt with by the Police istration itself and should be left to be dealth with by the District Magistrate, and where investigation discloses a prima facie case a judicial prosecution should normally follow unless the District Magistrate, for a reasons to be recorded, decides, that the officer concerned may be dealt with departmentally. It was, therefore, consistent with this Rule that Jain. J referred the matter for inquiry to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate. The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate has found a prima facie case against two officers, has exonerated the third has given the benefit of doubt to the fourth . I would direct that the Commissioner of Police would initiate appropriate proceedings at his own level or at such lower but senior level as having regard to all the circumstances, he consider to be necessary to deal with the allegations made against the delinquent officers, who have been indicated in the two reports and who may otherwise appear to him to be concerned and to consider what steps are necessary to deal generally with the problem of misuse, abuse or excessive use of power by the Police officers and take such action as may be considered necessary by him.

Obligatory on the part of S.S.P to bring the case to the notice of District Magistrate. It was asked from the S.S.P why he did not bring this case to the notice of the District Magistrate as required by Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Police Rules. He could not give any proper reason in of his. It may be pointed out that the provisions of Rule 16.38 of the Punjab Rules deal with holding of departmental enquiry as envised by Article311 of the Constitution of India. It was obligatory according to Rule 16.38 for the S.S.P to bring this case to the notice of the District Magistrate and it was for the District Magistrate to decide whether a departmental enquiry should be held or a criminal prosecution should be ordered. The S.S.P. failed to perform the statutory obligation. In my opinion, the S.S.P, has violated the mandatory provisions of Rule 16.38 dismissing the petitioner form service summarily without following of Rule 16.38. mohinder Singh Cheema, Ex-Sub-Inspector vs. State of Punjab through Home Secretary, Chandigarh, 1990 (5) S.L.R. 90.
39.
Opinion of District Magistrate. Rule 16.38 is really meant to have a completely objective and unbiased consideration by the District Magistrate whether a particular case relating to official relations of the Police with the public should be tried by a Magistrate having first class powers or investigated departmentally by the police authorities themselves. But there may be case which are not required to be forwarded to the District Magistrate. Madan Gopa vs. The Punjab State, 1968 P>L.R 874.

Order of Dismissal by an authority subordinate to the appointing authority. There cannot be better case of illegality of the order that the author of the order himself felt that the order cannot be sustained. It is also clear that the Punishing Authority of the petitioner was D.I.G. as he was promoted under his orders. Consequently, the decision to dispense with the enquiry could be taken by the D.I.G. In this view of the matter the impugned order is illegal. There is no material on the file to show that the punishing authority was satisfied that it was not reasonably practical to hold enquiry against the petitioner. Therefore, the order of dismissal is arbitrary, unreasonable and capricious as it denies equality before law and equal protection to the person concerned and, therefore, violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. For this reason, the order of Dismissal form service being violating of Article 14 of the Constitution is bad in the eye of Law.

Police Department cannot pick and choose the cases for obtaining the sanction of District Magistrate. There has been no explanation at all why the petitioner’s case was not put up before the District Magistrate when the case of Kishan Chand was duly put up, the mere fact of his arrest or his having incited the Police Force demonstrating before the Home Minister’s residence would not make any distinction in principle. If in the case of Kishan Chand it was a case of his allegedly committing a criminal offence, on identically the same accusation against the petitioner and in exactly similar and his case was put up before the District Magistrate under rule 16.38 for his orders, the case against the petitioner also had to be similarly put up; in other words, the Police Department cannot pick and choose at its sweet will, the kind of cases which they would put up under Rule 16.38 to the District Magistrate for his orders when accusations were identically the same. Such a course, is permitted is likely to greatly undermine the confidence of the police force in their official superiors. Ram Karan vs. Union of India and others, 1975 (2) S.L.R. 683.

Police Officer committing offence in relation to public. Petitioner, a Police Officer, during performance of his duties came in to with the drivers of trucks which were stopped and not challaned by him. The petitioner committed a criminal offence under Section 217 India Penal Code. The Petitioner was proceeded against departmental without obtaining orders of District Magistrate to enquiry in to his conduct under rule 16.38 (1) of Punjab Police Rules.
Whenever a Police officer in the discharge of his official functions comes to have official relations with the public and commits a criminal offence in connection with those relation rule 16.38 (1) of Punjab Police Rules becomes applicable irrespective of the fact whether any member of the public was aggrieved of his conduct or not. It could not be contended that before rule 126.38 became applicable, member of the public should be aggrieved of the conduct of police Official. A Police Officer by committing an offence in connection with his relations with a member of public fact be benefiting that person by not proceeding against him under the law when that person makes himself liable to be proceeded against and so he may not be aggrieved of the conduct of the Police Officer. Ajit Singh vs. Delhi istration and others, 1973 (1) S.L.R. 1100. 44.

Prosecution—Offences committed by Police Officers. It may be noticed that the three decisions of this Court which have been referred to above related to departmental inquires and not criminal prosecutions for offences committed by the delinquent police offices. The pronouncements in those cases will therefore govern only cases where departmental inquires are held in contravention of the procedure prescribed by the Police Rules. The reason for a special procedure being prescribed in the Rule for investigations before departmental inquiries are held against delinquent police officers is not far off to see. N the very nature of their duties, the of the police force would often stand exposed to criticism and complaints by not only the o f the public but also by the of the force themselves and consequently they stand placed more vulnerable than member of other. Government service, of being implicated in false or exaggerated charges. In order to protect them from false implication and resultant proceedings, the Government had thought it necessary to have initial screening of the Complaints received against of the police force by the District Magistrate. Such Screening would however extend only to matters which fall within the Zone of departmental action and it could never extend to cases where the offences alleged to have been committed would attract investigation under the Criminal Procedure Code in the same manner the investigation would be attracted if the offence complained of had been committed by any member of the public. That t he procedure prescribed in Rule 16.38 has only a limited field of operation i.e applicable only to departmental inquires and punishments could be seen from the fact that clause 3 of the Rule ens every Magistrate to whom a complaint against a police officer is referred by the District Magistrate for judicial enquiry to

The Police Rules, 1934 report the details of the case to the District Magistrate in order to enable the District Magistrate to forward the report to the Superintendent of Police. The clause further says that if the District Magistrate himself takes cognizance of a case, he should of his own accord send a report to the Superintendent of Police. Clause IV of Rule 16.38 also throws light on the matter an brings out the objective in greater clarity. This clause sets out that in order to protect the interests of police officers serving in districts where petition mongering activities are notorious, the District Magistrate can direct that all petitions complaining about police officers shall be presented to him personally so that he can scrutinize them to find out whether he petitioner are of a frivolous nature of they have been engineered by factious groups in the districts etc. in fact, the words used in the clause are of a tell-tale nature viz. “complaints against police officers in those districts where abuses of law with the object of victimizing such officers or hampering investigation in rife.
All these features make it clear that the purpose underlying the rule is to enable the District Magistrate and the District Superintendent of Police to exercise personal control and Superintendent over the complaints received against of the police force in the performance of their duties and enable the District Magistrate of ensure that the complaint is not a baseless or by a selected Magistrate. The procedure envisaged by the Rule is for effective check being exercised against victimization of efficient and honest police officers on the one hand and favoritism being shown to the delinquent police officers on the other. These rules were not intended to replace and certainly cannot over-ride the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Full Bench was therefore in error in taking the view that the Rules lay down a special procedure for investigation of all offences committed by the member for investigation of all offences committed by the of the police force and, that they have over-riding effect over the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code in of Sections 4 and 5 of the Code. State of Punjab vs. Raj Kumar, 1988(2) S.L.R. 83 47. Provisions are mandatory. As the mandatory provisions of the Police Rules 16.38 were not followed, it must be held that the departmental enquiry which was being conducted against the petitioner was altogether illegal and invalid. Air 1962 Punjab 38 48. Resort to departmental proceedings. Provisions of Rule 16.38(1) and (2) being mandatory, compliance with the same is imperative. As provided by sub-rule (2) when on an inquiry under sub-rule (1) a prima facie case is established indicating the commission by a police officer of a criminal offence in connection with his official relation with the public a judicial prosecution is normally to follow. But the District Magistrate has been given power the order departmental proceeding instead, for reasons to be recorded by him. Failure to record reasons for proceedings departmentally instead of judicial prosecution, renders the order illegal. Nand Nandan Sarup vs. The District Magistrate, Patialal, 1966 Cur. L.J. 608= P.L.R. 747 49.Rule applicable only if criminal offence has been committed by a Police Officer “in connection with his official relations with the Public”. Rule 16.38 has no relevance to the facts of the persent case, and therefore, it has no application. Even a cursory reading of the language employed by the above quoted portion of Rule 16.38 shows that it is not every type of offence which is required to be brought to the notice of the District Magistrate. The plain reading of the rule suggests very clearly that the criminal offence which is required to be brought to the notice of the District Magistrate should be one which should b e found to have been committed “in connection with his official relations with the public”. Therefore, unless it is found that the criminal offence, which a particular officer is said to have committed, was committed by him in connection with his official relations with the public, no question of the application of Rule 16.38 would arise. Shri Bhagat vs. Inspector General of Police, Himachal Pradesh and others, 19793) S.L.R 256 50. Rule mandatory. If this rule is not meticulously followed in its letter and spirit, it could thwart the statutory right of a District Magistrate to order a departmental enquiry against a delinquent police officer for, if the investigation is made without a prior reference to him the evidence collected in the course of such an investigation could not be used against be used against the delinquent officer in departmental proceedings at a subsequent stage. An interpretation which destroys or diminished the allowed object of a statute should be avoided at all costs. As already stated the object of the Act is to make the police force a more efficient instrument for the prevention and detection of crime. The Act does contemplate the holding of departmental enquiries against negligent police officer. Rule 16.38(1) of the Rules in mandatory in character and the evidence collected in an investigation held in derogation of this rule cannot be used against police officer in a criminal prosecution. Raj Kumar vs. State of Punjab, 1976(1) S.L.R. 5. 51. Scope. Rule 1638 relates to a criminal offence committed by a Police Officer in connection with the official business of the public. AIR 1956 Punjab 102. 52. Speaking order—Departmental enquiry. The impugned order of the District Magistrate (Annexure P.3) is a self-contained order. It has not been ed in the context of any other notice or proposal by any other authority. The District Magistrate make a reference to the departmental enquiry held against the petitioner under sub-rule(1), finds the charges to have been prima facie established an then suddenly in paragraph 2 of the order, directs the initiation of a departmental enquiry against. Him No. reason whatsoever as required by sub-rule (2) for deviating from the normal course of prosecution has been recorded. Sarup Singh vs. State of Haryana and others, 1983(3) S.L.R. 585. 53. Suggestion is not to be equated with the expression “dictate”. The District Magistrate is the superior most. The suggestions by the Superintendent of Police to the District Magistrate (an officer superior in rank) cannot be equated with ‘dictate’ or a suggestion ‘ meanigful or otherwise’. Rule 16.38(2) ens objectivity to the functions of the District magistrate, again in the larger public interest. It is another matter if that objectivity could be pointed out as utterly lacking of there was no application of the mind. Since, Rule 16.38(2) postulates judicial prosecution to be the normal course and departmental action to be an exception, it ens giving of reasons by the District Magistrate, if the normal course is to be deviated from. Ram Phal vs. State of Haryana and ors, 1980(3) S.L.R. 186. 54. Tearing off the Rojanmcha by the police Head Constable. A criminal offence was committed by the plaintiff in connection with his official relations with the public inasmuch as he owed a duty to discharge his official function which are in relation with the public. His tearing off the Rapat Rojnamcha is another offence in connection with his official relations with the public inasmuch as Rapt Rojnamcha is a public record maintained in accordance with law and a police official is not expected to tear it off. No substantial argument has been addressed to substantiate that the act committed by the plaintiff does not fall within the purview of Rule 16.38(1). All the ingredients for the applicability of the said rule stood satisfied. It has not been stated at the bar that any of the ingredients was missing. State of Haryana and another vs. Surjan Singh 1990(2) S.L.R 88. 16-39. Rules regarding proceedings against police officers reported to be habitually corrupt. In all cases in which a report imputing corruption to a police officer is brought on to his personal file, character roll or fauji misal, an attested copy of the report shall be furnished, under the orders of the officer maintaining the record in question, to the police officer concerned, and his receipt therefor shall be filed with the report in question. 16.40. Method of dealing with charges of corruption.--- Charges of corruption shall be enquired into in the manner prescribed in this chapter for departmental enquiries generally. Charges of specific acts of corruption shall be thoroughly investigated by a competent officer, the provisions of rule 16.27 being utilized, if necessary, and the preliminary investigation shall be followed by judicial prosecution or a departmental charge according to the circumstances of each case. Departmental charges based on a general record of dishonesty may also be entertained in accordance with rule 16.25(2). It is further ordered that, if five reputable persons in making a written complaint regarding corruption, otherwise than in regard to a case in which they are personally interested directly or indirectly, concerning any police official, the departmental superior of the officer in question shall be bound to make full investigation and to inform the complainants of the result. SYNOPSIS 1. Departmental Enquiry initiated without requisite permission. 2. Sanction violative of the principles of fair play and natural justice. COMMENTS 1. Departmental Enquiry initiated without requisite permission. The requirements of P.P.R. 16-40 is that further action in each case is to be taken after obtaining orders of the istration on completion of enquiries/investigation made by the Superintendent of Police, Anti Corruption. I desired the production of the original file in which the permission of the Lt. Governor under P.P.R. 16-40 for taking departmental action against the petitioner was obtained. The original file produced shows that permission for departmental action under P.P.R. 16.40 was granted by the Lt. Governor on 19th December, 1974.

destroyed. The copy of the report of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and the decision of the District Magistrate was to brought to the notice of the Lt. Government when permission of the LT. Govrnor under P.P.R. 16.40 was obtained. The Lt. Governor was not even informed of the fact that a complaint containing identical allegations against the petitioner was enquired into by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate under P.P.R. 16.38(1). The Lt. Governor was also not apprised of the fact that the District Magistrate had taken a decision that no departmental proceedings be takne against the petitioner on the aforesaid allegations as those remained unsubstantiated. The obtaining of the permission from the Lt. Governor is this clearly vitiated as it violates the principles of fair play and antural justice.

Special rules or testings suspicions of corruption in case of upper subordinates.—When an upper subordinate is suspected of being generally corrupt, but definite charges cannot be farmed under rule 16.40 ante, such upper subordinate shall ordinarily be transferred to another district. If the Superintendent of that district arrives at a considered conclusion that the officer concerned is corrupt, the officer shall be called on to show-cause why his increment of pay an promotion should not be stopped until he had satisfied his superiors that he has reformed his habits.

Principles of the Criminal Law and Police Organization.-- The Criminal law of India and the Police organization which is based upon it, are both founded on the principle that public order depends essentially upon the responsibility of every member of the community within the law to prevent offences and to arrest offenders. The magisterial and police organization is set up to enforce, control and assist this general responsibility. This fundamental principle must be thoroughly understood and borne constantly in mind by police officers of all ranks, but more especially by gazetted officers and upper subordinates. Instructions as to the general relations between police and Magistrates are contained in Chapter I of these Rules and some further detailed instructions are placed in this chapter. The ideal to be aimed at in respect of relations with the public is that every police officer, of whatever rank, should be regarded by ever law -abiding person as a wise and impartial friend and a protector against injury to his person and property. In proportion as this ideal is approached, the police will receive the information and assistance which they need, in order to combat crime successfully. When confidence and cooperation are lacking, private persons and village officials resort to connivance at crime and to seeking redress for their own losses through treaty with criminals; the police are isolated in their efforts to prevent and detect offences, and can hope for but a small measure of success. The proper relations between the police and the public in a district depend primarily upon the personal attitude of the Superintendent, and the example set by him and enforced upon his subordinates. The most important duties of a Superintendent are to know the people of his district and to know what his subordinates are doing. Such knowledge can only be gained by the fullest personal accessibility, activity in touring, thorough and intelligent supervision and a sympathetic interest in the life of the district and the facts and difficulties of the work of his own men. He must inspire confidence in his subordinates, at well as in the public. While alert to check tyranny, dishonesty and other abuses by his subordinates, he must be as accessible to them as to non-officials and ready at all times to help them in their difficulties and them against the evil influences, which they have to face. This should be the attitude of all supervising officers. They should ensure direct access to themselves unimpeded by their subordinates, and must be ready to give a patient hearing to all complaints and grievance, but must avoid creating any impression of spying which would destroy the confidence and undermine the authority of their officers. 21-2. Ilaqa Magistrate--Relations with.-- The relations between the Ilaqa Magistrate and the Police officers with whom he has to deal should be both cordial and intimate, and every opportunity shall be taken to keep him informed of the state of crime in his Ilaqa Conference between Magistrates and police officers, at which difficulties on either side can be discussed and remedies devised, should be encouraged; police officers coming in with chalans should take the opportunity of obtaining an interview with the Ilaqa Magistrate and discussing with him the state of crime in their jurisdictions; and prosecuting officers, who form a valuable link between the investigating officer and the magistracy, should be instructed to on to Magistrates an information of interest of importance regarding criminal matter on which they may be aware. When a Magistrate visits the local area of a police station, the Sub-Inspector should be make an effort to attend at his camp and should offer his assistance as well as discuss with him all matters concerning crime. It is, however, not intended that, in such cases, the Sub-Inspector should leave important duties in order to remain in attendance throughout the tour. 21-3. Zaildars, Inamdars, Heen and Village Watchmen.--(1) The conditions of appointment and removal, and the duties and remuneration of zaildars, inamdars, and heen are set forth in the Land Revenue Rules (see Land Revenue Rule 9) with which gazetted and upper subordinate police officers should be familiar. While these village officials have many duties besides those connected with the suppression of crime, capacity to assist the criminal istration is one of the factors considered in making appointments, and failure in this duty is a ground for removal from office or forfeiture of emoluments. In the case of heen, definite duties in respect of reporting and preventing offences are prescribed by the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Land Revenue Rules (see Land Revenue Rule 16 and 20) require them to attend the summons of all officers having jurisdiction in the estate in which they are appointed to assist all Government officials in the execution of their public duties; to supply information; to assist, if so ordered by the Collector, in the provision on payment of supplies of transport to Government officers on duty, and generally to represent the people of their estates in their relation with Government. Zaildars and inamdars are required by the Land Revenue rules to report to the police heinous crime and the presence in the zails of bad characters; investigations and arrests; to see that heen perform their duties properly; to notify all orders of Government in their zails and to obey all such orders as require their personal obedience to exert their influence to secure within their zails prompt obedience to all orders of Government; to assist all Government officers in the execution of their duties, to supply them with information and to attend them when they visit their zails. (2) It is the duty of gazetted police officers and inspectors to take particular note of the work of zaildars, inamdars and heen. These officials should be encouraged in the performance of their duties and suitably rewarded when they do well; serious or persistent neglect of duty should be brought to the notice of the Superintendent, and by him to that of the District Magistrate. In the periodical inspections of police stations mention shall always be made of the degree of assistance received by the police from the zaildars and other village officials of the jurisdiction, and of particularly meritorious work or noteworthy dereliction of duty on the part of individuals. (3) Gazetted officers should from time to time, record remarks in the books kept for the purpose by zaildars and inamdars regarding the extent to which such officials fulfil the purpose of their appointment in so far as the police are concerned. Notes may also appropriately be made by gazetted officers in the police station minute book ( No.13) and in Part IV of Village Crime Books regarding particular zaildars, inamdars and heen. (4) The village watchmen, or chaukidar, is a village servant whose chief duty is the watch and ward of the village. He is required to carry reports for the heen, to assist him in tracing offenders and to make arrests ad authorized by law. He is responsible to the District Magistrate for the performance of his duties. Chaukidars are also the agency for the reporting of births and deaths occurring in the rural tracts. For the purpose of recording vital statistics they attend at the police station within the jurisdiction of which their villages are situated at certain appointed times, and these occasions are made use of to disseminate items of news and orders connected with the preventive and detective duties of the village officers. The rules regarding the appointment, dismissal, powers, duties and responsibilities of watchmen are framed by Government under Section 39-A of the Punjab Laws Act of 1872. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
21-4. Duties of Police under local and special laws.--Many of the most important and most frequently exercised functions of the police derive from local and special laws. In some cases powers so derived have been specially referred to in different chapters of these rules, but, irrespective of such references, a knowledge of the provision of all local and special laws, more or less comprehensive according to the duties of his rank, is required of every trained police officer. The constitution of the Police Force itself rests on a special law, the Police Act (V of 1861). The istration of the Excise Act, in co-operation with officials of the Excise Department, is one of the most important of the duties of the police. Under this Act, all police officers of and above the rank of head constable are invested with the powers of excise officers 1st class, and all constables with those of excise officers, 3rd class. The control of crime, especially in rural areas, depends largely upon the Punjab Laws Act, the Registration of Habitual Offenders Act and the Criminal Tribes Act. The Arms act contains cognizable offences of first class importance, and imposes on the police important duties in connection with the inspection of licenses. The Cantonment and Municipal Act impose very extensive and varied duties upon police officers serving in areas to which they apply in relation to the enforcement of byelaws of all sorts. The powers and duties of the police in relation to fires also emanate from the Municipal Act. The same Act, together with the Hackney Carriage Act, Indian Motor Vehicles Act, Prevention of Cruelty of Animals act and certain sec-control of traffic. The Indian Extradition Act governs the dealings of the police in respect of criminals with Indian States. Many other Acts give powers or impose duties in respect of arrests, custody, search and inspection in relation to particular classes of offence. 21-5. Absconders and Harbourers.--(1) A Vital factor in both the detection and prevention of crime is the execution of the law in respect of absconding and harbouring. The provisions of the law are adequate to prevent both these offences but their proper and comprehensive istration demands the constant attention of Magistrates and supervising police officers. The absence or prevalence of absconding and harbouring are among the acid tests of the efficiency of the criminal istration. Instructions as to the taking out and execution of warrants when persons, whose arrest is required, are not immediately found, are contained in rule 26.5. This is the first essential. Under Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, any Court may at any time issues a proclamation against a persons for whose arrest that court has issued a warrant. All that is necessary is that the court should be satisfied, not necessarily by evidence, that the said person “ has absconded or is concealing himself so that such warrant cannot be executed”. The court may further at any time after proclamation “ order the attachment of any property, moveable or immovable, or both, belonging to the proclaimed person”. The period of thirty days mentioned in Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, is that within which the absconder is called upon to surrender, it imposes no delay on the issue of attachment order. The issue of a proclamation under Section 87, Code of Criminal Procedure, renders liable to the penalties of Section 216, Indian Penal Code, any one who gives to the person proclaimed any assistance of the nature described in Section 52-A, Indian penal Code. (2) The action prescribed in rule 26.5 for obtaining a warrant of arrest shall be taken by the police immediately they have grounds for making such arrest. Every reasonable efforts to execute such warrant shall then be taken. If such efforts fails, the court which issued the warrant must be satisfied that the warrant cannot be executed; evidence of the guilt of the wanted man in the offence under investigation is not required. When a proclamation order has been obtained, the police are bound to publish that order as required by Section 87(2), Code of Criminal Procedure. Immediately this has been done that requirements of Section 87(3), Code of Criminal Procedure, shall be complied with. Thereupon, the person wanted becomes a “ proclaimed offender” and the rules in Chapter XXIII regarding the entry of such person’s name in the surveillance , list of proclaimed offenders, notices to village heen and watchmen of all places where he has connections or which he is likely to visit etceteras shall be forthwith complied with. (3) The procedure of search under warrant and proclamation shall be carried out in every case in which a wanted person cannot be immediately arrested without warrant by the investigating officer. Discretion may be exercised by both the police and Magistrates whether to proceed with attachment of property under Section 88, Code of Civil Procedure, in every case, where there is danger of more crime resulting from and absconder remaining at large and attachment order shall be immediately applied for. The police are not authorized to carry out attachment, but it is the duty of the prosecuting branch to see that the necessary orders issued from the court without any delay, and of the officer conducting the investigation to take steps to prevent the improper alienation of attachable property by fictitious mortgage or sale. For this purpose lists of such property should be made, as part of the investigation, and attached to the police file of the case, and the village hean concerned should be directed to report any attempt at alienation or removal pending the issue of attachment orders. The lists of property prepared by the investigation officer, attested by competent witnesses, should be put into court with the application for an attachment order. (4) To prevent harbouring, without which no absconder can remain at large, thorough publicity in regard to the issue of a warrant and subsequent proclamation order is essential. It this receives proper attention, the defence of ignorance is denied to the persons who can be proved to have rendered any sort of assistance to an absconder. 21-6. Reports and records.--In order that continuity in the method of istration outlined in rule 21.1 may not be lost owing to changes of personnel, the proper maintenance of those reports, records and notes which review the history of the criminal istration of a district, or from which information regarding individuals and past events may be obtained, in essential. Apart from personal records of police officers, police station records and inspection notes, referred to in other chapters o these rules, such records comprise:--(i)
Transfer of charge memoranda (rule 21.7).
(ii)
Confidential note books (rule 21.8).

(vii)

(viii)

21-7. Transfer of charge memoranda.--(1) Every Superintendent and Deputy Inspector General shall, before leaving a district or range on transfer, or otherwise record a memorandum containing all necessary information for the guidance of his successor and for the preparation of the annual istration report. (2) The following are some of the matters to be attended to in taking over charge of a district and in preparing the memorandum mentioned in sub-rule (1) above:(a)

Summoning of persons to Police Station - The underlying object of Rules 22.49 and 25.2 of the Punjab Police Rule is that no citizen should unnecessarily be arrested or dragged to the Police Station and under the pretext of interrogation be improperly or illegally detained. There is no reason why the imperative provisions of these rules pertaining to the issue process and making of entry if that process should not have been complied with. If these rules are duly observed imperative as they are in their nature the device of deliberately omitting to observe compliance with these rules which police officers conducting investigation adopt and in this way illegally detain innocent persons under the excuse of interrogation, would cease to be workable and the case of illegal detention for investigation purpose are found to be minimised, if note eliminated. These are wholesome rules. Their compliance enable the person sought to be summoned to know the purpose for which is being summoned.

They shall also Enquirer in to the past conduct of of criminal tribes and make recommendation under rule 24 to the District Magistrate for the cancellation of the registration of men who have reformed and for the registration other who may have reverted to crime. 23.30. Proceedings under section 110, Criminal Procedure Code or Act V of 1981. (1) When the history sheet of a bad character furnishes sufficient material, a report shall be prepared in Form 23.30 (1) with a view to his being called upon to furnish security under section 110, Code of Criminal Procedure, or restricted under the provision of the Habitual Offenders Act (V of 1981) the preparation of such reports shall not be undertaken without the orders of gazetted officer or inspector.

Preventive action under sections 151 and 107, Code of Criminal Procedure. Section 151, Code of Criminal Procedure, empowers a police officer knowing of a design to commit any cognizable offence to arrest the person so deg, if it appears to such officer that the commission of the offence cannot otherwise be prevented. There are the only circumstances under which the law empowers police officers to interfere in disputes between individuals have interested parties, or the zail of village officials, complain of apprehension of a breach of the peace. Police officers have no power to investigate formal/complaints under section 107, Code of Criminal Procedure, except as provided in section 23, Act V of 1861. They shall, however, be on the constant look out for genuine information of disputes likely to lead to a breach of the peace. Such information, whether collected direct or received by complaint at the police station, shall be recorded in the daily diary, and a copy of the complaint forwarded without delay to the magistrate of the ilaqa, unless an immediate breach of the peace is anticipated, when the officer in charge of the police station shall act under section 151, Code of Criminal Procedure, on his own responsibility. Government has held that it is important that magistrates receiving such reports from the police should give immediately to them their close and personal attention and take suitable action on the merits of each report. Complaints of this nature made to superior police officers shall not be endorsed for enquiry by officers in charge of police stations unless it is anticipated that action under section 151, Code of Criminal Procedure, will be required and in no case shall endorsed complaints be despatched to officers in charge of police stations by hands of the complaints or informants or otherwise than through a strictly official agency. Complainants in cases in which no action under section 151, Code of Criminal Procedure, appears necessary shall be referred to the Magistrate of the ilaqa. 23-33. Convicts released before expiration of sentences under the Prisons Act and remission rules. The Government of India have decided that all remissions earned under the remission rules by prisoners of any class in jail are to be considered absolute and not to be made subject to the imposition of any conditions. As it is desirable, however, for the police to be apprised of the release of such convicts, a descriptive-roll in From 23-23 of all such convicts will be sent by the Superintendent of Police of the jail to the Superintendent of the district, of which the convict is a resident. The Superintendent of Police shall, in an examination of all the relevant circumstances, exercise his discretion as to whether any such convict shall be subjected to police surveillance or not or whether preventive action is to be taken by the preparation of a historty sheet or a personal file. 23-34.

23-44. Conditions of colony tenancies.- Superintendents and other gazetted officers serving in colony areas should axquaint themselves with the conditions regulating the tenure of land in such areas. Under these conditions Government usually demands active loyalty from all occupiers of land, and reserves powers of forfeiture of tenancies or restriction of rights as a punishment to individuals or communities, which fail to render assistance in the suppression of crime. Details instructions on this subject are contained in notifications published from time to time in the Punjab Government Gazette, or in orders issued by the Financial Commissioners which are available in the offices of Deputy Commissioners. APPENDIX NO 23-39(1) No. 7336 CH-Jails) dated Lahore, the 6th March, 1931 From - The Home Secretary to Government, Punjab. To- All Commissioners of Divisions and Deputy Commissioners in Punjab.

Note:- These rules will also be applicable to special orders of police surveillance issued by the local Government in the cases of prisoners conditionally released before the expiry of the term of their sentence. Subsidiary Rules issued in the Police Department. 1. In the case of wandering individuals with no fixed “abode”, an absence of one night or more will be considered to constitute a change of residence, except when the absence is due to a summons issued by a Civil, Criminal or Revenue Court, or to an order issued by a competent Civil authority. All other cases must be decided on their merits and no hard and fast rule can be laid down. It will be necessary to show that the change of residence is of a permanent or quasi-permanent nature. Mere absence from home for day or two does not constitute a change of residence. 2. In case in which at the time of notifying “change of residence”, the released convict reports his intention to return to the existing residence already notified under rule II, III or IV within a period of one month such change shall be called “temporary change of residence”. 3. When the Superintendent of Police receives an intimation from the officer-in-charge of the jail of an intended place of residence notified to the latter under Rule II, he shall at once forward a copy thereof to the officer-incharge of the police station within the jurisdiction of which such place is situated. This officer will, immediately upon the arrival of the released convict, report the date thereof to the Superintendent of Police. 4. When a released convict notifies a change of residence or a temporary change or residence to the officer-in-charge of the police station, the particulars required by Rule VII shall be entered in Form 23-39(2). The officer-in-charge of the police station will deliver a copy thereof to the released convict and will forward the original to the officer-in-charge of the police station within the jurisdiction of which the released convict has intimated has intention to reside. The latter officer, on arrival of the released convict, will fill up column 6, and, in the case of the residence being of a permanent character, will at once return the form to the police station from which he received it. In case the residence is to be of a temporary character, he will retain the form until the convict reports his departure, when column 7 will be filled up and the form returned to the police station of issue. 5. On arrival at the police station within the jurisdiction of which his new residence is situated, the released convict will produce his copy of the form and get the date of his arrival entered in column 6. In the case of a permanent change of residence his copy will be returned to him at once. In the case of temporary change of residence, it will be kept until the date of departure is verbally reported. Column 7 will then be filled up, and the copy will be returned to the released convict to make over to the officer from whom he originally received it. 6.
The names of such released convicts will be entered in the surveillance (Police Station No. X). APPENDIX No. 23-42 NOTE ON THE CONTROL OF PATHAN IMMIGRANTS TO THE PUNJAB.
I. The temporary sojourn in the Punjab of large number of nomad or semi-nomad Pathans results annually in crime, the importance of which is disproportionate to its actual amount. Such crime, if it remains unpunished, is bound to have a demoralizing effect on the criminal istration of the districts concerned. II. The extent of the Pathan Immigration. -- The first step towards controlling the criminal propensities of pathan immigrants is to appreciate the extent and main components of the annual influx. Exact figures are not available, but, from what is known of the numbers of Afghan subjects entering British India by various es, it is safe to take 100,000 as a conservative estimate of the extent of this immigration alone. The whole of this number does not come east of the Indus. The majority of families remain for the winter in the districts of the North-West Frontier Province and a proportion of the able bodied males also find employment in that province. On the other hand a large number of Pathans, not included in the estimate given, enter or through the Punjab every year from the independent tribal territory and the settled districts of the North-West Frontier Province. The number in this latter category probably fully equals that proportion of Afghan nomads which remain west of the Indus; so 100,000 is a reasonable figure at which to place the total of those with whom the Punjab is concerned. It has been suggested, from time to time, that all these immigrants should be by some means or another on entering British India. Such a measure could be put into force at the cost of considerable special expenditure and special organisation on the part of Government, and of wholesale interference with the normal movements of the seasonal migration. A study of the subject shows that registration would not lead to the desired results and is not necessary. III.
The composition of the immigration. -- The main division of Pathans who habitually visit India may be briefly described as follows:--A Afghan subjects and residents of independent Tribal Territory.
1. Northern Ghilzais, Ningraharis, & c., who enter India via Khyber and Kurram Valley. These are mainly camel drivers or labourers, and the vast majority of them give no trouble. Occasionally a gang of bad characters from this class is formed, and, the crimes committed by such a gang are often of a particularly violent nature. 2. The Southern Ghilzais or “Powindahs”, who enter India mainly by the Tochi and Gumal Valleys. These tribes usually leave their families in the Derajat, while the men disperse over the length and breadth of India, trading in cloth or other goods and, with their camels, acting as carriers on a large scale. From the point of view of general public security in the Punjab, this vry large class may be classified as non-criminal. They dabble in the arms and forged note traffic and are said occasionally to be addicted to misappropriation of goods entrusted to them as hired carriers. On rare occasions parties which have made their permanent winter encampments in the Mainwali district instead of in the Derajat, may be concerned in a dacoity. The control of such parties, however, is a purely local problems, which the lines stereotyped by long usage in the neighbouring trans-indus districts. 3. Tribal contingents from Khost and other parts of the Afghan Province of “Simat-i-Janubi”. On the basis of information at present available this division of immigrations appear to be one of the main causes of concerned from the point of view of crime. It includes various tribes, but the jadrans (or Zadrans) come in the greatest numbers to the Punjab. These tribes have in the post given but nebulous allegiance to Kabul and have been a perpetual source of trouble both to their own Government against which they were in open rebellion in 1924 - and to the Frontier Province istration. They are, for the most part exceedingly poor and, compared with most Pathans, degenerate, but hardy. Those who come to the Punjab in the winter scatter all over the Province, but chiefly in the North-Western Districts, in small parties, often with their families, and include a high proportion of criminals. The nature of their activities and proposals for their control will be discussed later. 4.
Immigrants from among the Baluchistan Tribes. -- There is record of occasional crime by this class, and their habits and composition require study.
5. Immigrants from North-West Frontier Province Tribal Territory. -- This class is distinct from the various categories of Afghan subjects, in that their influx into India is in no sense tribal. Adult males from almost all the trans-border tribes come to or through the Punjab in numbers which vary according to the characteristics of the various tribes and to locally prevailing conditions, but they all come in their individual capacity in search of a temporary livelihood. In the Punjab this class usually finds its way to the scene of work on big contracts. The class includes many habitual criminals, whose control demands special measures. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
B. British subjects from the Districts of the North-West Frontier Province. This second main division should, for purposes of applying suitable control be subdivided into various categories, but it will suffice here to consider it as one, especially as the greater number of immigrants belonging to it come from the Northern districts of Hazara and peshawar. The main feature of this class is that it includes a large number or habitual offenders of two kinds; (a) men who desire to escape the attention of the Police at their homes, (b) men who, to ensure immunity in a deliberately criminal career in the Punjab and other Provinces, are scrupulously careful of their reputation at their homes. There is one more category of Pathans which must not be oerlooked in considering this subject. In many of the large towns of the Punjab there is a considerable number of Pathans permanently settled. Their status varies from that of substantial contractors to tea-shopkeepers or tonga drivers. Their importance lies in their position as “contracts” between wandering Pathans and local people or local knowledge. IV. The nature of crime attributed to Pathans. -- The classes of crime committed by Pathans may be summarized as follows:--(1) Raids by gangs formed in independent territory and descending to commit a specific offence, retiring thereafter back to independent territory. On the grounds of the history of such cases it is an absolutely fair statement to say that, if there are no Punjabi outlaws in tribal territory, there will be no raids of this nature. Between 1915 and 1923, Mahsud gangs harried in the Isa Khel tahsil, led by Kulu, and Isa Khel outlaw. The attock district has suffered when its own outlays have been living with Kohat Afridis and have led gangs from there attock and rawalpindi surrefed in the years before the War. When Sultan, a Rawalpindi outlaw, was in the black mountain and when Fazlo and his gang were with the Gaduns. The recent Hassanabdal raid is a partial exception, but the local “razdari” without which no raid is ever committed was provided in that case by the employment of a Pathan (in fact an Afghan Shinwari) a chowkidar - a form of imbecility which might will be prohibited. The prevention of raids in the Frontier Province is mainly a matter of sustained activity against outlaws. In the less complicated conditions in this respect in the Punjab, similar action should provide an absolute preventive. (2) Dacoities by gangs of Pathans residing temporarily in the punjab. This is one of the two classes of crime by Pathans, which most requires special measures of prevention. The first stage in evolving such measures is to ascertain the circumstances in which and by whom this class of crime is committed and so to concentrate preventive action where it can be effective. (3) House breaking, animal theft and cognate offences committed by Pathans, Crime of this type is usually due to large concentration of Pathan labour or to the formation of a particular gang of expert criminals. (4) Specialized crime carried on by Pathans alone or by Pathans and Punjabis in combination. This now exists to a serious and dangerous extent, especially in respect of the smuggling of excisable commodities and the traffic in arms, and undoubtedly requires special measures of prevention. V. Organisation. -- The foregoing summary shows that the types of crime committed by Pathans and the criminal element among the immigrants are readily defined. Control can be obtained through concentration within these limits rather than by sweeping restrictions. The primary needs is to make generally available to the police in districts as much information as possible in regard to this class of crime and to coordinate their methods of dealing with it. The organisation to this end should be suited to the requirements of all India and all that is needed is the development of existing machinery. Bombay and Calcutta already have “Pathan Section” in the Crime Branch of their Criminal Investigation Departments. The Punjab has the embryo of a similar section. The North-Western Frontier Province have a section which devotes intensive attention to the arms trade. It has been mentioned that there is a class of criminals, having their homes in the North-West Frontier Province Districts, who have clean records at their homes, but make a profession of crime in other Provinces. The record was published a few years ago of one such individual against whom nothing was known at his home, though, when finally arrested in the Central Provinces, some thirty serious crimes with violence were traced against him; special attention is needed to ensure that, by the proper use of History Sheets, Bad Character Rolls and Intimation Sheets, such cases are brought under strict surveillance at their homes, and are treated precisely as if they were locally troublesome. The not unnatural tendency, in the absence of special supervision if for the local police to turn the blind eye to such cases. So far as residents of the istered districts of the Frontier Province are concerned effective control of wandering criminals is quite practicable, provided the normal police machinery for the interchange of information is efficiently worked and followed by action in the “home” Police Station under the security sections of the Criminal Procedure Code, and for restriction of movement under the Habitual Offenders Act (which is in force in the NorthWest Frontier Province) or under section 36 of the Frontier Crimes Regulation. The control of these British subjects covers quite half the danger field. Where Afghan subjects and independent tribesmen are concerned direct control is not easy, and wholesale scrutiny is almost impracticable in view of the fact that the migration the autumn and spring is compressed into a few weeks, during which, literally, a torrent of humanity flows through the es. Friendly can be made with the Maliks and leading men of the vast majority of well behaved immigrants, and, through them, much valuable information and assistance in controlling lawless elements can be obtained. The Pathan is peculiarly amenable to friendly cooperation of this nature, and nothing is likely to be so effective in isolating the criminals from the well behaved and bringing them under effective control, as the provision of a sufficiency of officers in the Punjab, who understand enough about Pathans to gain some measure of the confidence of the well conducted, and to inspire some wholesome dread in the ill-disposed. It appears essential that the Punjab Criminal Investigation Department should have a Pathan section consisting of at least 1 inspector, 1 subinspector and 4 or 5 head constables, obtained on deputation from the Frontier Province with perhaps an element from Baluchistan. Although the Pathan immigration is a matter of the winter months only, it will be shown that the staff suggested could be most usefully and fully employed throughout the year. This section of the Punjab Criminal Investigation Department and similar sections in other provinces which suffer from Pathan criminality should work in the completest co-operation with the Peshawar Criminal Investigation Department, by exchanging information, by seeing that information is both made available to and used by districts, and in devising and operating methods to meet different varieties of crime. I is noticeable at present, both that ridiculously little information is generally available on the subject of Pathan crime, and that what little has been made available is not acted upon. The Criminal intelligence Gazette should be much available is not acted upon. The Criminal Intelligence Gazette should be much more freely used both or the publication of particulars of individual suspects, for general information regarding he habits and modus operandi of different gangs or classes of Pathans and for instruction in regard to methods of prevention and detection. The Pathan experts in the Criminal Investigation Department should also be used, especially during the winter, in touring where Pathans are settled either in villages or on big contracts, with the object of bringing the local police into touch with the settlers, marking down and initiating action in respect of bad characters among them, and assisting in the investigation of cases in which Pathans are suspected to have been concerned. To supplement this small body of experts it is suggested that selected sub-inspectors of the Punjab Police might be sent in batches of 4 or 5 every year for a period of 3 months attachments to the north-West Frontier Province. In this period they should cover as many of the Frontier Districts as possible with the object of acquiring an elementary acquaintance with th many different types of Pathans, and with their country and language, Such selections would naturally be made chiefly from the North-Western Districts of the Province, as these are most closely concerned. It would be advantageous that these Punjab officers should be attached definitely to an experienced inspector in each Frontier District which they visit, so that one individual may be responsible for giving them the most comprehensive instruction and hints. In some instances in the past, district such as Sargodha have obtained the loan for one or more Pathan Non-commissioned Officers direct from one of the Frontier Province District; this is a useful supplement to other measure suggested. The object of the deputation to Frontier Districts is to meet to some extent the present practical difficulty in Pathan cases. There is often no single police official in a district who knows enough about Pathans to make even the simplest enquiries from them or to distinguish between a powindah and Peshawari. With the machinery improved on the lines suggested it would become possible systematically to tackle the various classes of crime and professional criminals which have been described. VI. Preventive measure. -- Dacoities other than raids, are committed by two main classes of Pathans, the poverty-stricken laborers from Khost, who have been already described, and bad characters mainly from the Peshawar or Hazara District. All such cases should be regarded as requiring Criminal Investigation Department assistance in their investigation, in order that all the resources of “Intelligence” on the subject may be brought to bear and that gang ramifications may be thoroughly sifted with a view not only to convictions in isolated cases, but comprehensive preventive action. Investigations now proceeding the Western Range afford instances both of the benefit of coordinated and the defects of isolated action. From the pooling investigations in several districts it is now clear--and there are good ground for hope that the case can be proved -- that for years past dacoities of a particular type have been committed, to the number of a about a dozen annually, by the “bash” element of one or two small sections of the Jadran tribe from Khost. The culprits probably amount to not more than 60 or 70 in all, from which total, gangs 5 to 20 in number have been habitually formed for committing specific http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
390/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
dacoities at places previously spied out by individual of the fraternity. More than 40 arrests have been made of persons suspected to belong to this criminal group, but, before cooperation could be fully set going, several of these suspects had been released by individual districts, because in their own particular cases, evidence for prosecution was lacking. The investigation is now being controlled by the Criminal Investigation Department, and special assistance has been obtained from Peshawar. It is premature to recommended any particular action, but apart from the possibilities of individual or gang, prosecutions, it seems probably that it will be possible to put forward a strong case for excluding the particular Afghan-tribes concerned from India for a term of years, or for ing it as a “Criminal Tribes” in the Punjab. This investigation affords a clear indication of the process by which special staff of exports should be able, by investigations into the habits of all classes of Pathan immigrants, to eliminate the well behaved and concentrate on the genuine criminals. The action to be taken where dacoities are being committed by Pathans of British territory is, as has already been indicated, merely the thorough application of normal police procedure. The use of the provisions of section 109, Criminal Procedure Code and of the Foreigners Act have repeatedly been advocated for controlling suspected Pathans. The former is not a very valuable weapon when almost every Pathan found in the Pujab is able and willing to earn his living by honest labour and can always produce evidence to that effect. The use of the Foreigners Act is confined to Afghan subjects and independent tribesmen and their deportation to the Frontier is of no avail if they return immediately to another part of the Punjab, where the chances of their suffering the penalty of violation of the expulsion order are negligible. There the Foreigners porting from the Punjab, merely on suspicion, a resident of one of the istered districts of the Frontier Province, but, whenever a a conviction, even under section 109, Criminal Procedure Code, or in a trivial offence, has been obtained against such an individual, it is possible to get him back to his home by classfying him for transfer to his home jail for release (i.e. P.R.T.). The Regulations might will be amended, if necessary, to permit of this being done. Police co-operation would ensure that a habitual criminal so transferred would be restricted on release from jail. The next category requiring attention is the gang labour under contractors. This branch of the subject requires detailed study by the expert staff. It appears that these labour gangs are on the whole well behaved--though if memory serves, Pathan labour gave considerable trouble when the Upper Jhelum Canal was being dug. Lately they have come chiefly to notice in connection with fairly petty thefts of cattle, contractor’s donkeys and so on. There is no doubt, however, that dangerous criminals are likely to be found among such gatherings--both men who will commit skilled or violence crime and men who desire to disappear from a serious hue and cry elsewhere. Labour contractors--often themselves Pathans--or ‘Jemadars’ should be made to assist the police in shifting the antecedents of their men, reporting suspicious absences, etc. Police activity of this sort requires to be conducted with considerations for the requirements of the Public Works Department or other authority responsible for the work; it would be as well for general instructions, which would meet police requirements in the matter, to be worked out in consultation with the Public Works Department. Specialised crime, in which Pathans are prominently concerned, consists mainly of traffic in arms and in Afghan opium and similar excisable commodities. Each such branch of crime obviously requires special attention, for bestowing which the suggested Pathan section of the Criminal Investigation Department is the most suitable agency. It is impossible to discuss the details of this class of crime within the scope of this note, but two special features of it may be noted. It exists because there is on the Frontier a source of supply to meet a Punjab demand, and there is a close association which does not exist in other classes of ‘Pathan crime’ between Punjabis and Pathans to the extent that Punjabi frequently visit the Frontier Province to make their illicit purchases. It is clear, therefore, that while the co-operation of the Frontier Province istration in controlling such entrepots of illicit trade as the village of Jam in the Khyber Agency is called for, it is equally necessary in the Punjab to attack the local traders in and purchasers of the goods obtainable from these sources. A further point worth recording is that the extension of this class of smuggling is a natural consequences of the permanent location of Punjabi troops in a large number of outposts and Cantonments beyond the istrative Frontier. Before 1915 al these areas were garrisoned solely by local irregular corps. Troops all in Cantonments in British territory where any illicit traffic between Punjabi soldiers and local residents was bound to come to the notice of the district police before it developed to any serious extent. Now-a-days there is absolutely no effective check on the doings of the thousands of Punjabis cantoned in Waziristan and the Khyber. They are in continuos contract with local residents, who have access to camps and cantonments on a hundred legitimate excuses; it is little more difficult for the sepoy to buy a revolver or a seer of opium than it is for him to buy a seer of milk. The police are helpless; they cannot except on the strongest of grounds and with the permission of the military authorities, search sepoys going on leave through Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, or Peshawar. An important aid to the control of Pathan criminals generally is that the police (both the special staff and the district police) should acquire as full a knowledge as possible of Pathan who carry on permanent occupations in the Punjab and should cultivate such relations, as will ensure access to all information of importance, with such local residents as have special contract with Pathans. In Many Punjab towns there are a considerable number of Pathans settled both in respectable commercial positions and as tonga drivers, tea-shopkeepers and so on; there are also numerous traders, both Hindu and Muhammadans who have a regular Pathan clientele. It is to the houses or shops of more respectable of such persons that Pathan; seeking work or ing through a town habitually resort for help, for news of their friends and for lodging. Respectable people of this sort, and keepers of tea-shops or lodging houses are frequently used as accommodation addresses for correspondence between Pathans including those who are criminally associated. While friendly relations with the better class resident Pathan, and other ‘contracts’ such as those mentioned, would open up many sources of valuable informations, the less respectable resident Pathan community requires more direct supervision, both as regard personal character and associates and visitor. Some of these resident Pathan doubtless commit crime themselves, but it is mainly in connection with the disposal of property stolen by ‘immigrants’ and harbouring the latter before and after the commission of offences, that they are important. Though the foregoing review shows that the criminal activities of Pathans in the Punjab are not amenable to control by such a method, it is worthwhile to consider briefly the available experience of wholesale-registrations. Afghan port Regulations have been in existence for some years, including a special from of port for nomads and drivers of wheeled or animal transport only. Therefore, every emigrant from Afghanistan who comes within these categories is bound to provide others particulars and a record of the dependents accompanying him. The fee is Rs.2 and the port includes the usual request to the officials of friendly Governments to afford the bearer assistance and protection. A considerable proportion of Afghan subjects entering India now-a-days possess these ports. Such persons, when asked, never mention the sum of Rs.2 as the fee; it is always from Rs.3 to Rs.5. The ports are signed by petty ‘Moharrirs’ they are but little grantee of identity and none whatever of character. The revenue which they bring in may be of some value to the Afghan Government and to its servants. This aspect of the matter is the only incetive to force them upon as many travelers as possible, but whole classes, which do not the headquarters of a Hakim on their way to India, never receive a port. On the other hand evidence is already appearing of a tendency on the part of subordinate police, village heen and even Magistrates to regard these Afghan ports as guarantees at least of bona fides if not of good character. When the criminal elements among the immigrants wakes up to this state of affairs, they will take good care to provide themselves with insurance policies against molestation, even though the issuing moharrir may raise the immoderately. Instructions might well be issued that these Afghan ports are of no value whatever as a guide to the character of the holder and confer absolutely no immunity. In point of fact the issue of a port in itself of no value without the visa of the country to be traversed. No British Indian visa is granted on the Afghan “ Nomads port and its is understood that the Government of India have definitely decided to exclude nomads entirely from any system of port control which may be enforced on the Indian side of the Afghan border.

It is only information which raises a reasonable suspicion of the commission of a cognizable offence within the jurisdiction of the police officer to whom it is given, which compels action under Section 157, Criminal Procedure Code. (2) With the exception of cases mentioned in rule 24.10 below, in every case in which the officer in charge of a police station, from information or otherwise, has reason to suspect the commission of an offence, which he is empowered under section 156, Criminal Procedure Code, to investigate, he shall enter in full such information or other intelligence as soon as practicable in the First Information Report , shall have each copy signed, marked or sealed by the informant, if present, shall seal each with the station seal, and shall dispose of the copies in accordance with rule 24,5 and u he abstains from investigation under either of the proviso to section 157 of the Code he shall submit the copy intended for the Magistrate through the Superintendent.

1. Substance of the first information report. From the entry reproduced above that the substance of the first information report was not entered in the daily diary in as much as neither the names of the accused nor the names of the witnesses nor any other detail in regard to the occurrence is given in the entry. The entry does not comply with the requirements of Section 154 Cr. P.C. and Rule 21.1 of the Punjab Police Rules. The failure to enter the substance of the F.I.R in the diary is indicative of the fact that when the said entry was made full facts in regard tot he occurrence were not known.

All coins to be assayed should be sent direct to the Mint Master, Calcutta, and not through the Inspector General.

Special reports of forgeries of currency notes, or of the appearance of forged currency notes, of less than Rs.10 in value are not required in the case of old forgeries which have come to notice before and have appeared in the lists printed in the Criminal Intelligence Gazette, but a list of the presentation of all such forgeries of all such forgeries of notes of less than Rs.10 in value should be submitted on the first of each month, together with the notes in question, to the Currency Officer, Lahore, through the Criminal Investigation Department. 24.17. Continuation and final reports.—(1) Each successive special report in the same case shall bear the same number as the first report and shall be distinguished by the addition of a capital Roman letter in the order of the alphabet.

(2) Successive special reports shall be submitted whenever there is matter of importance to communicate. (3) A final report shall be submitted without delay in all cases when (a) the investigation is dropped or (b) the case is finally decided in court. 24.18. Record of special report.--(1) Three general files of special reports shall be maintained as follows:--(a)
Murder.
(b)
Dacoities.
(c)
Other offences.
(2) A Special file may be opened if necessary for any particular case. 24.19. The duties of the Police as Excise Officers.—(1) Co-operation between the excise and police force is necessary for the detection and investigation of excise offence. The Inspector General of Police and the Financial Commissioner lay stress upon this co-operation as one of the principal secrets of successful working. Any case of jealous or obstructive working will be severely dalt with. (2) When an officer in charge of a police station becomes aware of an excise offence, he shall at once it as a police case and inform the District Excise Officer, who with respect to such cases shall be regarded as the magistrate in charge of the police station. The excise sub-Inspector concerned shall also be informed and his co-operation invited, but no delay shall be allowed to occur merely in order to obtain his presence. (3) All excise inspectors and sub-Inspectors are required to maintain First Information Report for the registration of complaints and reports of excise offences. In all cognizable cases a copy of the First Information Report shall be sent to the police station in whose jurisdiction the offence ois reported. In return the excise inspector or sub-inspector will be given a copy of the Police First Information Report as a report. (4) An excise inspector or sub-inspector shall not ordinarily attempt a search or make an arrest by himself. He shall always obtain the assistance of the police sub-inspector. If however, delay is likely to defeat the ends of justice, the excise inspector or sub-inspector shall make the arrest or search himself, and at the same time send to the police sub-inspector for assistance. (5) The prevention of illicit distillation of spirit is one of the most important of the duties of the police. This will not be effected by isolated seizures. It involves careful and sustained enquiry and a complete knowledge of his jurisdiction by the officer in charge of the police station. As a rule the manufacture of illicit spirit is confined to certain castes which are habitual consumers of spirit. The most probable localities of illicit traffice should thus be easily ascertainable by the officer in charge of the police station. It is impossible for an illicit still to be regularly worked in a village without the knowledge of the chaukidars and tambardars. The trade betrays itself by the resulting smell, the accumulation of refuse, and the occurrence of drunkenness, where no means of licit supply exist. If these things happen and the village officials make no report, it is obvious that they are conniving at the offence. In such cases the officer in charge of the police station must at once take steps, to have these rural officials punished. Where it is notorious that illicit stills are worked, http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
the officer in charge of the police station neglects his duty if he does not arrange to put in operation the provision for search, seizure, and prosecution contained in the Excise Act. (6) If it is found that illicit manufacture of country spirit has been extensively carried on in a police station jurisdiction and preventive action has not been taken by the police, neglect of duty on the part of the officer in charge of the police station will be presumed. (7) Attention must also be paid to the unlicensed sale of spirit in large towns by sodawater sellers and others, and to the smuggling of country spirit in thanas ading Indian States. (8) Any charas coming into the Punjab by any other routes than those sanctioned should at once be detained under section 61 of the Excise Act, and the orders of the Collector taken. Charas smugglers generally travel by rail and can easily be captured in cooperation with the railway checking staff, who while examining their tickets can also examine their luggage. (9) The use of cocaine, except for medical and surgical purposes, is altogether prohibited in the Punjab. The principal places in the Punjab into which it is smuggled are Lahore, Amritsar, Rawalpindi, Ambala and Karnal. (10) Offences against the opium law very in their nature with various districts; the most important offences, viz, smuggling and illicit sale of smuggled opium (whether contrived by licensed vendors themselves or by private individuals) being common or uncommon according to the geographical position of district with reference to Rajputana, Afghanistan and the Hill States, or even railway communication with Nepal. (11) No opium can be imported into a district without a ; and any police officer can, therefore, detain bulk opium if there is no . He can also search a person whom he believes to be guilty of having excess quantities of opium in his possession. Any police officer above the rank of head constable may search premises in which he believes smuggled or illicit opium is stored. The legal limit of possession of opium is two tolas and any person bringing it from any Indian State in excess of this amount is liable to arrest and prosecution under section 9 of the Act. (12) The sale of all preparations of opium for smoking of illegal. There is need of continued activity in tracing out and prosecuting proprietors of chandu and madak dens in which sales occur, the object being to make indulgence in opium smoking so difficult and disreputable that the younger generation will be unlikely to acquire it. Under the Opium Smoking Act, 1923, of opium smoking assemblies as well as proprietors of houses used for opium smoking are liable to prosecution. Under section 14 of the Act every officer of the police department is required to give reasonable aid to an excise officer making any arrest or search under the Act. The Police have no powers of search, seizure or arrest under the Punjab Opium Smoking Act; but they have such powers under sections 14 and 15 of the Opium Act, 1978, against any individual in possession of more than the half tola of preparations of ixtures of opium used for smoking which is the limit of legal possession under section 9 of that Act. (13) The Financial Commissioner has impressed upon all Deputy Commissioners the necessity of granting liberal rewards both to informers and to arresting officers in all excise cases. Rewards to sub-inspectors and officers of lower rank may be sanctioned by the Deputy Commissioners up to Rs. 200, but the sanction of the Financial Commissioner is required for larger rewards and for rewards to officers of higher rank.

Any police officer may be so deputed under this section, but where a police officer under the rank of assistant sub-inspector is deputed the investigation shall inveriably by taken up and completed by the officer in charge of the police station or an assistance sub-inspector at the first opportunity.
(3)
An officer in charge of a station shall also render assistance whenever required to all officers of the Criminal Investigation Department working within his jurisdiction.
(4)
25.2 Power of investigating officers.-- (1) The powers and privileges of a police officer making an investigation are details in sections 160 to 175, Criminal Procedure Code.
(5)
An officer so making an investigation shall invariably issue an order in writing in Form 25.2(1) to any person summoned to attend such investigation and shall endorse on the copy of the order retained by the person so summoned the date and time of his arrival at, and the date and time of his departure from the place to which he is summoned. The duplicate of the order shall be attached to the case diary.
(6) (7)
No avoidable trouble shall be given to any person from whom enquiries are made and no person shall be unnecessarily detained. It is the duty of an investigating officer to find out the truth of the matter under investigation. His object shall be to discover the actual facts of the case and to arrest the real offender or offenders. He shall not commit himself prematurely to any view of the facts for or against any person.
25.2
Action when offence occurring in another police station is reported- When the occurrence of a cognizable offence in another police station jurisdiction is reported, the fact shall be recorded, in the daily diary and information shall be sent to the officer in charge of the police station in the jurisdiction of which the offence was committed. Meanwhile all possible lawful measures shall be taken to secure the arrest of offender and the detection of the offence.
25.3
Where offence appears to have occurred in other police station.-- (1) If a police officer after ing a case and commencing in investigation discovers that the offence was committed in the jurisdiction of another police station he shall at once send information to the officer in charge of such police station.
(2)
Upon receipt of information such officer shall proceed without delay to the place where the
investigation is being held and undertake the investigation. 25.5.
Disputes as to jurisdiction—Should the officer who is thus summoned to the spot dispute the jurisdiction both officers shall tly carry on the investigation under the orders of the senior officer and neither shall leave until the question of jurisdiction has been settled and acknowledged. The case recevid shall be kept at the police station where the information was first received until the question of jurisdiction has been decided.
25.6. Relieving and relieved officers to sign case diaries—When a police officer is relieved in the course of an investigation he shall record a report of all that he has done in case diary and sign, it giving the date and hour of his relief. Such case diary shall be made over to the relieving officer, who shall certify thereon that he acknowledges the case to have occurred within his station limits, or to be one which he is empowered to investigate as the case may be. 25.7. Cancellation of a case in one police station and registration in another—When a case is transferred from one police station to another, the offence ed in the original police station shall be cancelled by the Superintendent and a first information report shall be submitted from the police station in the jurisdiction of which the case occurred. 25.8. Case which may be lawfully investigated in more local areas than one—(;) If the case is one which the officer in charge of the police station may lawfully investigate, but which may also be lawfully and more successfully investigated in another police station , such officer while continuing his investigation, shall refer the matter to the Superintendent, who shall transfer the case or not as he sees fit. (2). If it is desired to transfer the case to police station in another district, the Superintendent shall refer the matter to District Magistrate and move him to act a according to the orders contained in Chapter 26, VolumeIII, of the Rules and Orders of the High Court. (3). When an investigation has been transferred from one district to another police files with original first information report shall be forwarded to the Superintendent of district to which the transfer is made. 25.9.
Optional investigation-(1). Section 157(b), Criminal Procedure Code, gives wide powers to an officer in charge of police station to refrain from investigation in unimportant cases. It is the duty, however, of every officer receiving a report to consider not only the intrinsic importance of the offence alleged and the expressed wishes of the complaint but the bearing which the report has or may have on the detection of other cases or on the prevention of crime and the control of criminals. Very many cases which appear trivial in the themselves may, if investigated furnish a clue to the operations of professional criminals or afford valuable material at a later date for preventive action. In practice is seldom advisable for an officer in charge of a police station to avail himself of the power to refuse investigations, which the law gives him.
(2). When, at the time when a report of a cognizable offence is received, the investigating staff of the police station concerned is already occupied with more important cases, the investigation of which would suffer by being interrupted, such report shall be duly recorded and investigation may be dispensed with.

If the informant is present when the first information report is recorded, he shall be informed forthwith that no investigation will be made, and after nothing this fact in the first information report this signature or thumb-mark shall be taken on it. If the informant is not present, he shall be informed in writing by post card or by the delivery of a notice by hand, and the fact that this has been done shall be noticed in the first information report. (4). When investigation is dispensed with, a note shall be made in the first information report stating whether the complainant desires an investigation or not and full reasons shall be given for abstaining form investigation. All such cases shall be brought to the notice of the Superintendent of Police personally, who shall such orders on them as he may think fit in accordance with the principle embodied in this rule. 25.10. Immediate despatch of an officer to the spot.—When a report of a cognizable case is recorded and it is decided not to dispense with investigation under section 157(1). Criminal Procedure Code, a police officer shall proceed to the scene immediately. The officer who first proceeds to the spot http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Investigation in non-cognizable cases—(1) No Police officer shall investigate a non-cognizable offence unless ordered to do so by a competent magistrate under section s 196-B or 202, Criminal Procedure Code. (2). When an investigation in a non-cognizable case is thus ordered and is taken up by the police under section 155(3), Criminal Procedure Code, it must be carried through in the same manner as if the offence were cognizable, except that no arrest shall be made without a warrant. In every such case a police officer making an investigation shall day by day enter his proceedings in a case diary and submit them daily as prescribed for cognizable cases in Police Rules (25.53. Case diaries shall be submitted through the gazetted officer concerned to the court which has ordered investigation No Copies shall be prepared or kept by the police. (3). The High Court has ordered that only serious cases, and cases in which there are special reasons to do so , shall be referred to the police under section 202, Criminal Procedure Code ( Rule4, Chapter I-B of Rules and Orders of the High Court of Judicature at Lahore, Volume III-1931) Superintendents of Police shall decline is accept, itself and the instructions of the High Court referred to above have not been strictly complied with. 25.12. Orders in Writing—All orders in writing made in a case, i.e. order to arrest to search and to summon etc. shall be attached to the case diaries, or their absence shall be satisfactorily ed for. 25.13. Plan Scene-(1) In all importantly cases two plans of the scene of the officer shall be prepared by a qualified police officer or other suitable agency one to be submitted with the charge sheet or final report and the other to be retained for departmental use. (2) The following rules shall govern the preparation of maps or plans by patwaris or other expert:--(i) Pursuant to paragraph 26 of the Patwari Rules, the Financial Commissioner, with the concurrence of the Inspector General of Police, issues the following instructions concerning the preparation by patwaris of maps needed to illustrate police inquiries. (ii) In ordinary cases no demands for such maps will be made upon patwaris. (iii) In the case of heinous crime, especially in cases of murder or riots connected with land disputes, the police officer investigating the case will if he considers an accurate map is required, summons to the scene of the crime the Patwari of the circle in which it occurred and cause him to prepare two maps, one for production in court as evidence and the other for the use of the police investigating agency. In the former reference relating to facts observed by the police officer should be interred while in the latter references based on the statement of witnesses which are not relevant in evidence may be recorded. He will be careful not to detain the patwaris longer than is necessary for the preparation of maps. (iv) It is necessary to define clearly the responsibility of the Patwari and police officer in respect of these maps. (v) The police officer will indicate to the Patwari the limits of the land of which he desires map, and the topographical items to be shown therein.

In any other case the official in charge of the office should without delay refer for orders to the Postmaster General, who will decide whether or not under section 124 of the Indian Evidence Act, I of 1872, the information asked for should be withheld. When the information asked for by a police officer is not available in the records of the post office, the police officer should be informed accordingly, irrespective of the question whether the information, if available, might or might not be given under the foregoing rule. 25-25. Track Law.—Provisions of law regarding tracking are contained in sections 41 and 42 of Act IV of 1872 (Punjab Laws Act). 25-26. Importance of foot-prints and track evidence.—(1) Footprints are of the first importance in the investigation of crime. For this reason all officers in charge of police stations shall instruct their subordinates as well as all lambardars and chaukidars that, when any crime occurs all footprints and other marks existing on the scene of the crime should be carefully preserved and a watch set to see that as few persons as possible are permitted to visit the scene of the crime. When it desired to produce evidence of the identity of tracks found at the scene of or in connection with a crime, the procedure for securing the record of such evidence shall be similar to that prescribed in rule 26.32 for the identification of suspects. The attendance of a Magistrate of the highest available status, shall be secured, but if no Magistrate is available and the case is of great urgency, independent and literate witnesses of reliable character like Sarpanches or Panches or Lambardars, shall be requested to conduct proceedings, but before they hold the parade, the rule regarding the holding of parades shall be explained to them. In the presence of the Magistrate or other person conducting the test and in conformity with any reasonable directions which they may give, ground shall be prepared for the tests. On this ground the suspect or suspects and not less than five other persons, for each suspect, shall be required to walk. The Magistrate or the person conducting the test shall record the names of all these person and the order in which they enter the test ground. The suspect shall, of course, be given option to take any place of his choice in the Parade and a note to this effect shall be recorded in the Memo of proceedings which will also indicate whether he has availed of this option. While these preparations are proceeding the tracker of other witness who is to be asked to identify the tracks shall be prevented from approaching the place or seeing any foot-prints of the persons ing the test parade. When all preparations are complete, the tracker or the identifying witness shall be called up and required to examine both the original tracks whether lifted on the moulds or otherwise and those on the test ground and hereafter to make his statement. The Magistrate or the person conducting the test, shall record the statement of the tracker or the identifying witness as to the grounds of his claim to identify the tracks, and shall put such other questions as he may deem proper to test his bona-fides. Neither any Police Officer nor any person connected with the case shall be allowed to take any part in the conduct of the test. The person other than the Magistrate conducting the test may, however, associate with them one or more independent witnesses of reliable character. If the tracks of culprits found at the scene of crime are shodfooted, the Magistrate or the other person conducting the parade, shall be requested to take the shoes into possession, paste their signed paper slip on the shoes and seal them after the parade. When itting the accused or suspect whose track parade is to be held in Jail a request in writing shall be made to the Jail authorities to see that the accused or suspect does not change the shoes. At the time of arrest in such cases, the Police Officer making or ordering the arrest will take the shoes of the accused in possession, paste a chit signed by himself and witness on it and seal them. The parcel will be opened by the Magistrate or other person conducting the parade and resealed after the parade as above. If however, the tracker, for any reason such as inefficiency, careless confusion or adverse influence of the suspect, fails to correctly identify the tracks, the mater should not be left there. It is still open to the Investigator, if another more efficient and reliable tracker is not available, to get the moulds for foot-prints found at the scene of crime and those prepared and duly initialled by the Magistrate or other person holding the parade at the time of the track identification parade, compared by the Director, CID, Scientific Laboratory, Phillaur, and obtain his expert opinion as to whether the foot impressions in both the mounds tally. Tracks which it is desired to test by comparison as above, shall be protected immediately on discovery, and their nature, measurements and peculiarities shall be recorded at the time in the case diary of the investigating officer. The details of the preparation of the test ground and the actions required of the suspect and those with whom his tracks are mixed must vary according to the circumstances of the case. The person conducting the test shall so arrange that the identifying witness nay be given a fair chance, but under the strictest safeguards, of comparing the original tracks with other track, made on similar ground and in similar conditions. Before inviting person other than the Magistrate to conduct the proceeding, the Police Officer concerned will ensure that he is not interested in or against the suspect or accused.

The Police Rules, 1934
The evidence of a tracker or other experts described in the foregoing rule can be substantiated by the preparation of moulds of other footprints of the criminal or criminals found at the scene of the crime. The method of making moulds of footprints by means of plaster of Paris or a composition of two parts of resin to one part of wax or parafin is taught to all students at the Police Training School but requires practice before an officer can become proficient. The only advantage in the first method (plaster of Paris) is the quickness with which the material sets. Resin and wax are cheap and can be used more than once.
In making mounds for production as evidence the following precautions should be observed:-- (a) The footprints found on the scene of the crime must be pointed out to realise witnesses at the time and these same witnesses must be present during the preparation of the mounds. (b) The later must also be signed or marked by the witnesses and the officer preparing them while still setting. (c) After the procedure described in sub-rule (2) above has been completed a mould should be prepared in the presence of the magistrate or witnessed of one of the foot-prints of the suspect made in their presence. This mould should be signed by the magistrate or witnesses when still setting. (d) Both mounds should be carefully preserved for production in court for identification by witnesses and comparison by the court. Methods of recording footprints-(1) by tracing through glass footprints found on the ground or other surface, and (2) by taking impressions of feet direct on to paper, as in the case of finger impressions, are taught at the Police Training School. Such records at the scene of offence. They may also be used to check the reliability of local trackers. 25-27. Confessions… The orders of the High Court by which magistrate are bound in respect of the record of statements or confessions are contained in Appendix No. 25-27. All supervising and investigating police officers must familiarise themselves with these instructions and conform strictly to them in producing accused persons for the record of their statements. 25-28. Statements recorded by magistrate…(1) The circumstances under which police officers may require a statement to be recorded by a magistrate are as follows:--(a)
The statements, made in the course of an investigation by a witness or an accused person, and not amounting to a confession, may be recorded by a magistrate under section 164 Code of Criminal Procedure, in order that it may be available as evidence at a later stage. Such statements may be recorded in any of the manners prescribed for recording evidence.
(b)
A confession may be recorded under section 164, Criminal Procedure Code, irrespective of the tender of a pardon, and of whether it involves more persons than the individual accused making it.
(c)
In the classes of offences specified in section 337, Criminal Procedure Code, a police officer may, at any stage of the investigation, inquiry or trial, move a magistrate empowered under that section to tender a pardon to an accused person.
(d) In cases in which a pardon cannot be tendered under section 337 Criminal Procedure Code, but in which it is desirable to obtain the evidence of a suspect against his accomplices, a police officer may recommend to the District Magistrate that the local Government be moved to give a promise not to prosecute an offender, subject to his fulfilling whatever conditions might be imposed in giving such promise. Action of this nature can only be taken before the case has been sent for trial. Note:- The original orders on which this paragraph is based are contained in Punjab Government Circular 2/117 of 27th April 1898 as qualified by circular No.426 of 30th September, 1906, and were reproduced as Appendix 25.41(3) of Punjab Police Rules, Edition 1915. (2) If a professional offender is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment or transportation and it appears that he belongs to a gang of offenders and is willing to do everything in his power to bring the of such gang to justice, or to give valuable information leading to the discovery of stolen property, the Superintendent may apply to the State Government for suspension or remission of the sentence of such prisoner under section 401, Criminal Procedure Code. Such application shall be made through the District Magistrate. 25.29. Confessing accused and approvers—(1) The Criminal Procedure Code supplemented by the High Court instructions quoted in Appendix 25.27 prescribe a number of precautions which are intended to give to a court conducting a trial the maximum assurance that a confessing accused has not been subjected to such pressure or inducements as to invalidate this evidence under section 24, Indian Evidence Act. All police officers, who exercise any authority in connection with investigations, are required to have a through understanding of these provisions. The departmental instructions here give merely supplement and in no sense replace them. (2) The main requirements, in so far as the police are concerned, are:--(a)
No police officer may offer a pardon. An accused person desirous of making a statement with a view to obtaining a pardon, shall be told that no promise whatsoever can be made, but that, if a statement is made and verified and found to be of sufficient importance to merit such action, the facts will be reported to a magistrate, who has power to offer a pardon. No steps may be taken in this connection by subordinate police officers without the previous sanction in writing of a gazetted police officer.
(b)
Statements, whether under section 164 or 337, Criminal Procedure Code, shall be recorded by the magistrate, other than the District Magistrate, having the highest powers, who can be reached within reasonable time. Save for special reasons, which must be explained by the investigation officer, such statements shall never be recorded by 2nd class magistrate unless they have been specially empowered to record such statements.
(c)
The magistrate is required to make enquiries as to the circumstances leading up to the confession; and police officers shall invariably furnish, so far as is in their power, information required of them in this respect.
(d) (e) (f)
Police officers connected with the investigation shall not be present while the confession is being recorded. Magistrates are required to give orders, when remanding to custody persons who have made a confession, that they shall be kept separate from other prisoners. Approvers shall remain under arrest until the conslusion of the trial.
(g)
When more than one person confesses or turns approver in a case, their confessions shall, if possible, be recorded by different magistrates and they shall not be allowed to meet one another till their evidence has been recorded in court.
(h)
Magistrates shall be moved to record statements of confessing persons in full detail; in political cases and those in which professional criminals whose activities extend over a large field are suspected, copies (in English) of approvers’ statements and confessions shall be sent to the Deputy Inspector General, Criminal Investigation Department.
(3) It must be ed that the prosecution of a gang case, even without an approver, in a section 3C magistrate’s court, is a very lengthy and difficult task owing to the large number of witnesses and the numerous linked individual cases. If, however, the prosecution relies upon an approver, the length and difficulty of the task is at least doubled as, in accordance with section 337(2-A), Code of Criminal Procedure, the case has to be committed to the Sessions or High Court. Therefore, before the launching a gang case under section 400 or 401, Indian Penal Code, with an approver, the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police should first satisfy themselves that is not possible to secure satisfactory results by proceeding in individual cases without resort to section 400 and 401, Indian Penal Code. If, however, it should still appear expedient to conduct a gang case, they should ascertain whether the district resources are equal to the strain of both committal proceedings and trial in the Sessions or High Court without outside assistance. If the district resources appear to be inadequate, the case should then be referred through the Deputy Inspector General of the range to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, for decision whether the case should or should not be undertaken. 25-30 Place of trial – With regard to the place of trial of cases falling under sections 179-183, Code of Criminal Procedure, police officers shall act solely with reference to the public convenience. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Post-mortem examination – when and by whom held. – (1) The legal requirements in respect of post-mortem examination by a qualified surgeon are contained in section 17(3), Code of Criminal Procedure. In every case where death appears to have been due to suicidal, homicidal, accidental or suspicious causes and where any doubt exists as to the exact cause of death, or if it appears to the officer conducting the investigation – whether under section 157 or section 174, Code of Criminal procedure – expedient to do so, the body shall be sent to the nearest medical officer authorized by the Local Government to conduct post-mortem examination. The sending of bodies of examination may only be dispensed with, where such action is otherwise required when conditions exist, such as advanced putrefaction, which would clearly make examination useless. (2) An investigating officer is empowered by law with the discretion to dispense with a surgical examination of the body – (a) if he is fully satisfied that the cause of death is established beyond doubt, (b) in the circumstances described at the end of the preceding sub-rule. In regard to the former condition, it must be ed that the existence of an apparently fatal wound does not necessarily establish the cause of death. In cases where investigation establishes the accidental nature of the event which led to the death and the history of the deceased and of the, case suggests no reason to suspect that expert examination of the body will reveal any cause of death other than the apparent one, such examination may be dispensed with. In all cases where suspicion exists that the death was due either to suicide or to an act rendering the perpetrator thereof liable to a criminal charge the body must be examined by a qualified medical officer, if possible. (3) The law requires that the body shall be sent to the nearest qualified medical officer, and the orders of the Local Government prohibit the summoning of such officer to conduct his examination at or near the scene of the death save in exceptional cases. These may occur, where, owing to advanced putrefaction or the circumstances in which the corpse was found, movement of the corpse may make it impossible for the medical officer to form a correct opinion as to the nature of the injuries or the exact cause of death. In such cases if the investigating officer considers expert postmortem expeditious means available to the Superintendent of Police or gazetted officer in charge of the case, with a request that a qualified officer shall be sent to the absence of District Magistrate from headquarters to give orders for the medical examination of the body at the scene of death. (4) In cases where it is impossible either to send a body to a qualified medical officer or to have it examined by such officer on the spot, the investigating officer may, at his discretion, request the nearest Government medical officer, even though such officer be not authorized to conduct post mortem examination, to assist him with his anatomical and other expert knowledge in estimating the effects and causes of injuries, etc. Such medical officers are not empowered to perform any operation on the body. Medical officers of the Irrigation and Public Health Departments and of local bodies cannot be called upon in this connection unless they have been specially authorized by the Local Government to undertake the medico-legal work (vide rule 25.19). 25-37.

(3) The body shall be placed on a charpoy or other light litter and protected from the sun, flies and exposure to the weather. The litter shall be transported to the place appointed for the holding of post-mortem examinations by such means as the investigating officer may consider most expedient in the circumstances of weather, distance to be covered and conditions of the body.

In exercise of the power conferred on him by section 58 of the Government of India Act, 1935, the Governor of the Punjab acting in his discretion is pleased to make the following rules:1.
Except as hereinafter provided a police officer or other servant of the Crown shall not disclose nor be compelled to disclose the source from which or the channel through which any information with respect to the operations of persons committing, or conspiring, preparing or attempting to commit such crimes as are menmtioned in sub-section (1) of section 57 of the Government of India Act, 1935, has been or may be obtained; and a police officer or other servant of the Crown shall not communicate nor be compelled to communicate any matter whether contained in records or otherwise which discloses, or in his opinion might in conjunction with other circumstances or matters result in the disclosure of or permit to be inferred, the source from which or the channel through which any such information as aforesaid has been or may be obtained. Note - Section 58 and this rule protect also sources of information relating to past acts of commission of such crimes, and to past conspiracies, preparations, and attempts to commit such crimes.
2.
The provisions of rule I shall not apply to a discloure or communication by a police officer to another member of the same force who is authorized by the Inspector-General of Police either by a general or special direction in this behalf to require receive such disclosure or communication. In giving general or special direction the Inspector General of Police shall be under the general control of and comply with, such instructions as may from time to time be given to him by the Governor in his discretion.
3.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by a police officer to any person (not being a member of the same force) who is authorised by the Governor in his discretion either by a general or special direction in this behalf to receive such disclosure or communciation.
4.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by a servant of the Crown (not being a police officer) to any person who is authorized by the Governor in his discretion either b y a general l or special direction in this behalf to receive such disclosure or communication.
5.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not apply to a disclosure or communication by any servant of the Crown (not being a police officer) of facts ascertained by himself made to a Superintendent of Police or District Magistrate of a district or to an officer of the Criminal Investigation Department of or above the rank of Sub-Inspector or to any police officer conducting an investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898.
6.
The provisions of rule 1 shall not affect the procedure followed by a police officer making an investigation under Chapter XIV of the code of Criminal Procedure, 1898.
7.
The Inspector-General of Police shall, with the previous approval of the Governor in his discretion give directions as to the custody of the records or any other documents containing such information as is referred to in rule (1), and the person or persons in whose custody such records or documents are kept shall not disclose them to any person except in accordance with these directions.
8.
If in the interests of the istration it is considered necessary by any police officer in possession of any such record or information that such record or information should be disclosed or given to any person other than a police officer serving under the Punjab Government, he shall refer the matter to the Governor through the Inspector-General of Police, and the decision of the Governor in his discretion shall be final.

9.
If any person in the service of the Crown in the province other than a police officer considers it necessary in the interests of the istration that such record or information should be disclosed or given to any person, he shall refer the matter to the Governor, and the decision of the Governor in his discretion shall be final.
10.
A servant of the Crown who is in doubt whether in any particular case he is compelled by, or permitted under the provisions of these rules to make a disclosure or communication may before making the disclosure or communication require that the matter be referred for direction by the Inspector General of Police or the Governor in his discretion, as the case may be.
4.
The above principles apply equally Council questions. The great majority of these can be disposed of without reference to local officers. Sometimes when a question consists of several parts, a reference to local officers is necessary only in regard to one or two of these parts. Where a reference is made, it should be stated in regard to which parts information is required. Further, where a question asks for information which will require considerable time and labour for its collection, local officers should not be asked to supply this information, unless the Secretary concerned is satisfied that the information may reasonably be given in spite of the time and labour involved. Where he does not think that this is the case, he should obtain the orders of the Member of Minister concerned before starting inquiries which may later prove unnecessary. When it is decided not to collect information required to answer a council question the proper answer is. “It is not in the public interest to collect this information”.
5.
6.
In order to secure that the above orders are observed, the following procedure is prescribed:--(i)
Eecept in purely routine matters, no reference to Commissioners or Deputy Commissioners should be made without the approval of a gazetted officer. Important reference should receive the approval of the Secretary or the Head of the Department concerned, unless they are of an immediate nature and the approval of the Secretary or Head of the Department cannot be obtained without delay.
(ii)
Commissioners of Divisions should being to the notice of the Chief Secretary by demi-official letter cases in which unnecessary references are made or inadequate time is given for the disposal of unnecessary references. The Chief Secretary will submit the reference of the Commissioner to the Member or Minister concerned, who will no doubt wish to satisfy himself that the orders of Government have been observed.
The above orders relate primarily to references to Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners. They will also apply mutatis mutandis to references by the Secretariat and Heads of Departments to other istrative and executive officers, e.g., in the Irrigation Branch of the Public Works Department they will apply to references by the Secretariat to Superintending and Executive Engineers; in the Agriculture Department they will apply to reference by the Director of Agriculture to Deputy Directors of Agriculture and to Extra Assistant Directors of Agriculture, and so on. Yours sincerely, F.H. PUCKLE
Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab. To (i)
All Heads of Departments in the Punjab.
(ii)
The , High Court of Judicature at Lahore.
(iii)
All Commissioners of Divisions, Deputy Commissioners and District and Sessions Judges in the Punjab.
50. Instructions as to statements and confessions of accused persons.—The following instructions (contained in Rules and Orders of the High Court, Volume III) or the subject of taking and recording statements and confessions of accused person should be observed:--Confession an statements of accused persons The provisions of sections 164, 342 and 364 of the Criminal Procedure Code witl regard to the confessions and statements of accused persons should be carefully studied. Section 164, deals with the recording of statements and confessions at any stage before the commencement of an enquiry or trial. Section 342 deals with the examination of accused persons during the course of the enquiry or trial. Section 364 prescribes the manner in which the examination of accused persons is to be recorded. 2. The object of section 164, Criminal Procedure Code, is to provide a method of securing a reliable record of statements or confessions made during the course of the police investigation, which could be used, if necessary, during the enquiry or trial Under section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act, a confession to a police officer is inissible in evidence, and hence when an accused person confesses during police investigation the police frequently get it recorded by a magistrate under section 164 Criminal Procedure Code, and it can then be used to the extent to which it may be issible under the Indian Evidence Act. 3. Under section 80 of the Indian Evidence Act, a court is bound to presume that a statement of confession of an accused person taken in accordance with law and purporting to be signed by any judge or magistrate is genuine, and that the certificate or note as to the circumstances under which it was taken, purporting to be made by the person g it, are true, and that such statement or confession was duly taken. The words “taken in accordance with law” occurring in this section are very important and it is essential that in recording a statement or confession under section 164, the provisions of that section should be strictly followed. Some important changes were made in the section in 1923 and the form of the certificate to be attached to the statements and confessions was also altered. The evidential value of a confession depends upon its voluntary character and the precision with which it is reproduced and hence the section provides safeguards to secure this end. These safeguards are of great importance as confessions are often retracted at a later stage and it becomes necessary for the Court to ascertain whether the alleged confession was actually and voluntarily made. The mere fact that a confession is retracted does not render it inissible in evidence, but the Court has to scrutinise any such confession with the utmost care and accept it with the greatest caution. Experience and common serise in fact show that in the absence of some material corroboration it is not safe to convict merely on a retracted confession, unless from the peculiar circumstances under which it was made judging from the reasons, alleged or apparent, of retraction there remains a high degree of certainty that the confession, notwithstanding its having been resised from, is genuine (of, 30 P.R. 1914 (Cr.) ). 4. Some important features or section 164 as it stands now are:--(a) (b)
statement or confessions made in the courses of an investigation can be recorded only be a magistrate of the second class who has been specially empowered by the Local Government. Confessions must be recorded and signed in the manner provided in section 364.
(c)
Before recording any such confession the magistrate shall explain to the person making it that he is not bound to make a confession, and that if he does so it may be used in evidence against him.
(d)
No magistrate shall record any such confession unless upon questioning the person making it, he has reason to believe that it was made voluntarily, failure to question has been held to vitiate the confession (I.L.R. 2 Lah. 325).
(e)
The memorandum set forth in section 164(3) must be appended at the foot of the record of the confession.
(f)
It is not necessary that the magistrate receiving or recording a confession or statement should be a magistrate having jurisdiction in the case.
5. The annexed from for recording confessions taken under section 164 has been prescribed and should invariably be used. 6. Unless there are exceptional reasons to the contrary confessions should be recorded in open court and during court hours, Police officer investigating the case should not be present.

The Police Rules, 1934
7. An accused persons who has been produced for the purpose of making a confession and has declined to do so, or has made a statement which is unsatisfactory from the point of view of the prosecution, should, in no circumstances, be remanded to police custody. 8. Section 342 of the Code empowers to the court to put questions to the accused at any stage of enquiry or trial to enable him to explain any circumstances appearing in evidence against him. The questions put under this section must be confined to the points brought out in the evidence and should not be in the nature of cross-examination of the accused person. Nor should the power given by the section be used to elicit information from the accused to fill up gaps in the prosecution evidence (of. I.L.R 4 Lah 55). For the conviction of an accused person can only be based on the evidence produced by the prosecution. No oath can be istered to the accused and the answers given by him can only be taken into consideration in explanation of the prosecution evidence. 8.A. The magistrate is allowed by section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to examine the accused at an early stage of the case for the purpose of enabling him to explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence against him. This provision is intended for the benefit of the accused, and must not be used to elicit his defence before the prosecution evidence is complete. Magistrates sometimes question the accused generally on the case as soon as a prima facie case has been made out, but before the prosecution evidence is complete. This is incorrect. According to the second part of clause (1) of section 342, it is only after the completion of the prosecution evidence that the accused can be questioned generally on the case. The necessity for postponing such examination is not avoided by framing a charge at an early stage. Even when a charge has been framed, the magistrate should wait until the prosecution evidence is concluded before making a general examination of the accused. 9. Section 342 makes it obligatory for a Court to examine the accused generally on the case after the witnesses for the prosecution have been examined and before the accused is called for his defence. Even when and accused person has been examined at an earlier stage the Court must examine the accused generally after the close of the prosecution case (i.e. after the examination and cross-examination of prosecution witnesses and their further crossexamination, if any, after the charge is framed) and before the accused is called upon to produce his defence so as to give him an opportunity to explain any points which were not included in the questions put to him at earlier stages. Failure to examine the accused at the close of the prosecution evidence has been held to be an illegality which vitiates the trial (vide 71.L.R. Lah. 564). 10. Under Section 256 of the Code, if the accused person puts in a written statement, it should be filed with the record. But a written statement of this kind does not relieve the Court of the duty of examining the accused in Court after the close of the prosecution evidence as laid down in section 342. 11. Section 364 provides the mode in which the examination of an accused persons is recorded. The questions put to the accused and the answers given by him should be distinctly and accurately recorded. The examination of the accused should be recorded in the language in which he is examined, and if that is not practicable in the language of the Court or in English. In cases in which examination is not recorded by the Magistrate or Judge himself he must record a Memo. Thereof in the language of the Court or in English if he is sufficiently acquainted with the latter language. The examination must be read over to the accused and made conformable to what he declares to be the truth. The Magistrate or Judge must then certify under his own hand that the examination was taken down in his presence and hearing and that the record contains a full and true of what was stated. 12. Under section 533 of the Code, if any court before which a confession or other statement of an accused person recorded or purporting to be recorded under section 164, or section 364, is intended, or has been received in evidence, finds that any of the provisions of either of such sections have not been complied with by the magistrate recording the statement it must take evidence that such person duly made the statement recorded and such a statement may then become issible in evidence notwithstanding the provisions of section 91 of the Indian Evidence Act, provided the error has not prejudiced the accused as to his defence on merits.

If the answers are of such a character as to require him to do so, he should put such further questions as may be necessary to enable him to judge whether the accused person is acting voluntarily. In arriving at his conclusion on this point the magistrate should consider inter alia the period during which the accused person has been in police custody and make sure that the confession is not the result of any undue influence or ill treatment. Special care should be taken when women or children are produced by the police for their confessions being recorded),--Q.- Do you understand that you are not bound to make a confession?

The Police Rules, 1934 Blood-stain cases.
The entire garments or other articles suspected to be stained with blood should be sent if possible, not portions removed or cut from them. A label with number and description of the articles should be stitched or tied (not gummed or pasted) to each separate article, care being taken that the labels correspond with the invoice list of articles. When the label is tied to the articles the string should be sealed. Note.—(1) Take care that the stains are quite dry before being packed for examination. West stains readily decompose. (2) Do not make a circle with ink or indelible pencil around the suspected stains. In wet weather or during examination such circles run into the stain and interfere with the tests. (3) Wet blood stains on a culprit’s body should be removed with a clean cotton swab and properly dried before being sent for analysis. Dry blood stains on a culprit’s body may be gently scrapped into an envelope and then despatched for analysis. Documents which should be forwarded:--A.—By post— (1)
Forwarding memo, and invoice list of articles for examination.
(2)
Impression or imprint of seal used in the case.
B. With the articles— (1)
Duplicate copy of forwarding memo and invoice list.
(2)
Duplicate impression or imprint of seal used in the case. Semen cases.
This entire garment, etc., should be set. The cloth should not be folded at the stained portion. The stain should be kept quite flat, and should be protected by a thin layer of cotton wool on each surface. Note.—It is better to send swabs from the vaginal mucus than mounted slides. These swabs should be first dried and then forwarded in a small box or phial carefully labeled. Rules for preserving and packing exhibits for transmission to the Chemical Examiner. I.
II.
The suspected organs or other exhibits should be placed in lean glass bottle or jar having a good fitting stopper or cork. Wide mouthed bottles or jars of sufficient size must be used, otherwise the contents readily decompose. It is also difficult to empty narrow-mouthed bottles or jars that are tightly packed. Materials that are liable to decompose should be preserved by one of the following methods:--(1) In cases of suspected human poisoning other than alcohol, phosphorus, carbolic acid and some of the lesser known volatile poisons, the material sent should be immersed I rectified spirit. The spirit should be sufficient to cover the material immersed in whatever position the vessel containing it may be held. On no use common bazaar spirit. A separate four ounce bottle of the rectified spirit added should be sent for independent analysis s a control. (2) In those cases mentioned above where rectified spirit should not be added, the preservative used should be salt solution and the same precautions for immersion of material should be exercised. A salt solution is made by adding a full tablespoonful of salt to about a pint of fresh clean water. A separate four ounce bottle of this salt solution should be sent for independent analysis as a control. (3) If two or more examinations have to be made on the same occasion, the medical officer should complete one and label and seal the articles connected with it before commencing a second examination, otherwise there is risk of the viscera, etc., of one case getting mixed with those of another. He should clean his instruments and vessels before commencing the second case. (4) In cases of suspected cattle poisoning the viscera or other material should be prescribed in rectified spirit with the same precautions as those exercised in human poisoning cases (item2). (5) It is advisable to keep a sample of the preservative added under lock and key in case the bottle containing the sample sent to the Chemical Examiner should arrive broken.
III. Great care should be taken that the stopper or cork of the bottle or jar fits tightly; especially in this necessary during the hot weather, when rectified spirit is added as a preservative. The stopper may first be candle-waxed and then carefully tied down with leather or water proof and sealed. IV. To Secure identity, the bottles or jars should be properly labeled with a list of the contents. V. The bottles or jars should then be placed in a strong wooden box with plenty of packing material to ensure against any breakage’s during transit. Saw dust, cotton wool, and dried grass are suitable for this purpose. Old officer papers, etc., should not be used as the copies of the forwarding documents enclosed in the box are liable to be thrown away with this waste paper packing material. Keep these documents well away from the bottles as breakage’s or leakage’s are apt to stain them. VI. The box itself should be covered with common garha cloth properly sewed and sealed. Seals should be at short intervals of three inches along each line of sewing. All the seals must be similar and preferably the wax should be of the same kind. The seal used should be the ordinary office seal and must be kept under lock and key. Current cons, or a series of straight, curved or crossed lines must not be sued as seals. The box should be properly addressed and sufficient stamps added to cover postage; the box must also be franked. VII. Under no circumstances should viscera from different cases be included in the same parcel. VIII.
The dispatching officer who is invariably the Civil Surgeon or another medical officer authorised to conduct post-mortem examination; is personally responsible that these instructions are carefully followed.
Note. In order to minimize the chances of parcels being lost in transit between the office of the Chemical Examiner and the Railway Station at Lahore, all articles for medico-legal examination should be sent by post as far as possible or better still by hand. IX. In cases where the police send a closed parcel through the medical officer and the latter has no occasion to open it in transmission, the parcel should be packed in a second cloth cover and the forwarding memo should also be enclosed. This procedure is necessary and prevents cases getting mixed up on receipt of the Chemical Examiner’s office. X. The labeling and numbering of articles should not be in the vernacular but in English. XI.
A declaration of the contents to the Postal authorities is unnecessary. APPENDIX 25.42(2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALING WITH SUBSTANCES ON OBJECTS SUSPECTED OF BEING EXPLOSIVE Introduction.

Repeat the test three times with fresh drips and also by burning a fresh drop of the liquid on blotting paper in the flame of a spirit lamp or candle. (A) The substance explodes or burns rapidly. Place about half an ounce of the liquid in a small clean bottle, carefully cork it up (do not use a glass or metal stopper), and after packing in cotton wool in a box or tin, send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives, Northern India, with your report. The bulk of the liquid should be locked up in an isolated place until instructions are received from the Inspector of Explosives, Northern India, as to its disposal. (B) The substance does not explode or burn rapidly.

in a box with straw, sawdust, or paper, etc. (2)
If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will come out, then proceed as in paragraph 6.
(3) If the vessel is not suspected of being a bomb and is of metal or other hard material and the stopper will not come out when moderate force is use, do not attempt to open but remove the vessel very gently, and in such a manner as to expose it toas little shaking as possible, and without turning it over in any way, to such open place of safety in the vicinity as may be available, where its ignition or explosion would be attended with a minimum of mischief, e.g., a yard or a garden or other open space from which he public are or can be excluded . The tow pieces of strong cord to the vessel ing one cord round a hook or tree and from round the corner of a building and after all persons have been removed from within range, pull the cords backward and forward so that the vessel is upset and given as severe a shaking as possible, then leave the vessel alone for twelve hours. If explosion is not obtained and the vessel is not too large sent it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. If the vessel is a large one, try once more to open it using more force. If you cannot open it, remove the vessel to a convenient place where it can be locked up and send a copy of your report and all connected papers to the Inspector of Explosives. 8. When the substance is a solid in an open vessel: (1) Carefully take out with a piece of cardboard or flat stick a few grains of the solid and after removing it ten yards, or more away from the vessel or vessels containing the bulk of the substance, place it upon a flat surface or iron or stone and strike it a sharp glancing blow with a flat headed hammer. Repeat the test three times with fresh substance and also try burning a small portion on blotting paper in the flame of a spirit lamp or candle. (A) The substance explodes or burns rapidly. – Take a very small amount of the substance, add to it a little water and notice what happens. If the substance undergoes no change and here is no sign of any gas being given off, or of heat being generated, place about half an ounce of the substance in a small clean bottle and fill up with clean water. Cork the bottle carefully, taking the precaution not to use a glass or metal stopper, and then pack it in cotton wool in a box or tin and send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. (B) The substance does not explode or burn rapidly. – test a small amount of the substance with water in exactly the same way a detailed in (A). if the substance undergoes no change and there is no sign of any gas being given off, or of heat being generated, place about half an ounce of the substance in a small clean bottle and fill up with water. Cork the bottle carefully, and after packing, send it by post to the Inspector of Explosives with your report. The bulk of the substance should then be covered with clean water and locked up in any convenient place until the report of the Inspector of Explosives is received. (2) If you find that the substance under sub-paragraphs (A) and (B) does undergo a charge, etc., when water is added proceed exactly as before, except that the sample in all cases should be sent dry, and the bulk also kept dry. Make certain that your bottle is absolutely dry before you put the sample into it. 9. When the substance is a solid in a closed vessel,--(1) If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will not come out when only moderate power is used. Do not attempt to open it but send it by messenger to the Inspector of Explosives together with your report, first having carefully packed the bottle upright in a box with straw, sawdust, paper, etc. (2)
If the vessel is a bottle and is not suspected of being a bomb and the stopper will come out then proceed as in 8.
(3)
If the vessel is not suspected of being a bomb and is of metal or other hard material proceed as in 7(2).
10. When the substance is calcium carbide or calcium phosphide. If it is desired to destroy calcium carbide or calcium phosphide, this can be done by dropping them into deep water, but not more than half a pound at a time, waiting until no more gas is given off before a fresh portion is destroyed. 11. When the substances is gas, -- Gases are generally found compressed in cylinders, sparklets, etc. They should b kept cool and away from the direct rays of the sun. If it is desired to know what gas is in any cylinder, the whole cylinder should be even up in the coir matting and sent by train to the Inspector of Explosives toghther with your report. Small cylinders or sparklets only a few inches long can be sent by post if well packed in cotton wool in a wooden box. 12. When the object is a detonator, cap, fuse, cartridge, firework, rocket, light these should never, under any circumstances, be sent through the post. A few should be carefully packed separately in cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the inspector of Explosives together with your report. The bulk should be locked up in an isolated place. 13.
When the object is a bomb:--(1)
These may be met with in the following forms:--A. Military grenades. B. Copies of military grenades. C. Bombs made up in soda bottles, jam tins, water cistern floats, chatties, coconut shells, bundles of jute or hemp, bomboo tubes, etc. D. Book bombs. E. Letter bombs.
(2)
Any of these may be designed to explode,--(a)
when moved in any way,
(b)
when turned over,
(c)
when placed in water,
(d)
when thrown down,
(e)
by lighting a fuse,
(f)
by clock work.
(g)
By chemical reaction
(3) Before touching the bomb examine it where it lies and see if you can detect the arrangement for firing. See if there is any trigger and, if so, if it is set or not. Do not move the bomb, unless you are satisfied that it is safe to do so. If you are not satisfied, then place a guard over the bomb and report to your senior officer. A. Military grenades. – The first thing to do, is to see that the safety pin is in position, that it is not broken or corroded and that the ends are well splayed out so that it cannot be jolted out. See that the jaws of the laver are in good condition and the striker correctly. Being satisfied on these points, the base should be unscrewed and, if the igniter set is present, it should be carefully removed. Pack the igniter set and the bomb in cotton wool in separate wooden boxes and send by hand to the inspector of Explosives, together with your report. If the safety pin and level are missing and the striker is inside the bomb, it will probably have to be destroyed in situ. Set a guard over it where it lies and report to your senior officer. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm
429/521
3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934
B. Copies of military grenades. – These are generally something like a military grenade but are of cruder finish, They must only be handled by persons who have handled bombs before. It is generally possible to render them harmless by removing an explosive cap or tuft of gun cotton. This should only be done when you are satisfied that the trigger is safe. Do not put this type of bomb in water but, provided the trigger has been made safe, it should be packed in cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the Inspector of Explosives together with your report. C. bombs made up in soda bottles, etc. – First arrange a string bag and strong cord over a large bucket of hot water. Carefully remove the bomb keeping it in the same position as found and place it in the hag and from round the corner of a building, first having sent everybody present under cover lower the bomb into the hot water and leave it there for 24 hours. The water will then be cold. It may then be taken out and be carefully packed in wet straw or cotton wool in a wooden box and be sent by hand to the inspector of Explosives together with your report. If the bomb is well made and there is a possibility that the water may not have penetrated inside, it should be given the rough treatment described in paragraph 7)3) before being sent away. D. Book bombs. – These are bombs made up in book form and are generally designed to explode when the book is opened or turned over. Such a bomb should be very carefully taken to an isolated place, keeping it in the original position all the time and be locked up. Send a report on the subject to the Inspector of Explosives. E. Letter bombs. – These are letters containing explosives which are designed to explode when opened. Place the whole letter in a bucket of water. When the letter is quite wet, pack it in a tin in wet cotton wool and send by hand to the Inspector of Explosives, together with your report. F. Booby Traps -1.
“Booby Traps” are bomb generally designed to explode in the presence of an officer who is engaged in searching suspected premises.
2. They may be designed to explode when the bomb is moved in any way or electric contract is made by some action of the officer or by clockwork or chemical means. 3. The most prevalent procedure is to cause one bomb to explode in a house by time fuse, such as a burning candle, leaving a second bomb which will explode when the officer comes to investigate the first explosion, or the officer may be tempted to the house by a message, telephone call, etc. 4. Another method is to leave the second bomb with an obvious means of ignition such as a burning candle in the hope that the officer will extinguish the candle and then consider the bomb as safe whereas it is really designed to explode if moved in any way. 5. Never enter a house or room in which you suspect booby traps by the obvious way. First smash a window or knock a hole in the wall with a crowbar opposite the door to see if the door can be safely opened. 6. Enter the house or room very slowly touching nothing until each object has been carefully examined. Make a loop at the end of a long rope and drop the loop over each object which might be a bomb without touching it. These may be such things as tins, trunks, kettles, lamps, buckets, boxes, clocks, etc. From outside the room or house jerk the object about by means of the rope and do not enter the room or house again for some minutes in each case. Open the lids of boxes or trunks by means of the rope from round the corner. 7.
If and unexploded bomb is discovered after this treatment proceed as in paragraph Cabove. APPENDIX No. 25-43(4)

The Police Rules, 1934 REMANDS TO POLICE CUSTODY.
1. Remands to Police custody when to be granted.—Before making an order of remand to police custody under Section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the magistrate should satisfy himself that,--(1)
there are grounds for believing that the accusation aginst the person sent up by the police is well founded.
(2)
There are good and sufficient reasons for remanding the accused to police custody instead of detaining him in magisterial custody.
In order to form an opinion as to +the necessity or otherwise of the remand applied for by the police, the Magistrate should ascertain what previous similar orders (if any) have been made in the case, and the longer and accused person has been in custody the stronger should be the grounds required for a further remand to police custody. The accused person must always be produced before the Magistrate when a remand is asked for. 2. the following principles are laid down before for the guidance of Magistrates in the matter of granting remands, and District Magistrates are required to see that they are carefully applied:--(i) Under no circumstances should an accused person be remanded to police custody unless it is made clear that his presence is actually needed in order to serve some important and specific purpose connected with the completion of the enquiry. A general statement by the officer applying for the remand that the accused may be able to give further information should not be accepted. (ii) When an accused person is remanded to police custody the period of the remand should be as short as possible. (iii) In all ordinary cases in which time is required by the police to complete the enquiry, the accused person should be detained in magisterial custody. (iv)
Where the object of the remand is merely the verification of the prisoner’s statement, he should be remanded to magisterial custody.
(v)
A prisoner, who has been produced for the purpose of making a confession and who has declined to do so, or has made a statement which is unsatisfactory from the point of view of the prosecution should in no circumstances be remanded to police custody.
3. In any case when an accused person is remanded to police custody, the reasons must be recorded in the order of remand, and when the Magistrate ordering a remand is not himself a Sub-Divisional or District Magistrate, he must at once send a copy of his order, with his reasons for making it, to the Sub-Division or District Magistrate to whom he is immediately subordinate. If the limit of 15 days has elapsed, and there is still need for further investigation by the police, the procedure to be adopted is that laid down in Section 344, Criminal Procedure Code. The case is brought on to the Magistrate’s file, and the accused, if detention is necessary, will remain in magisterial custody. The case may be postponed or adjourned from time to time for periods of not more than 15 days each, and in each adjournment expires the accused must be produced before the Magistrate, and the order of adjournment must show good reasons for making the order.

(3)When it is necessary to keep prisoners in a lock-up which is in an insecure state all male prisoners, who would , under the provisions of rules 26.22 and 26.23, be liable to be handcuffed under escort, shall be handcuffed while confined in such lock-up. (4)Every under-trail prisoner in the lock-up unable to provide himself with sufficient bedding shall be supplied with such beddings as may be necessary. Ordinarily 1 blanket and 1 munj or bhabhar mat shall be issued to each prisoner in the summer. In the winder 3 blankets shall be issued for each prisoner . For this purpose a sufficient supply of blankets and munj or bhabhar mats shall be obtained from the District Magistrate and maintained for use in lock-ups. Blankets and mats shall not be stored in lock-ups and issued when required. Private bedding may be supplied by relatives or friends of the prisoner. All such bedding shall be carefully examined by the Police Officer in charge who shall return the same when the prisoner is released or remanded to judicial custody. When private bedding is suppli9ed a report to this effect shall be entered in the station daily diary. Jail rules permit the use of beds and provide for special sanitary and bathing facilities for A and B class convicts . Such facilities are not available in all Police Stations, but they should be provided for better class prisoners in Police custody so far as is possible. Endeavours should be made to confine better class prisoners in Police Stations which possess amenities of this kind and to segregate better class from ordinary prisoners”. (5)An allowance for a sweeper and bhishti for each lock-up will be made by the Jail Department. 26.5. Warrants to be taken out when wanted persons abscond.—Permissive authority is given to the police to arrest without warrant in certain cases in order that they may not be handicapped by having to obtain a Magistrate’s warrant under Section 204. Code of Criminal Procedure, when the arrest of a criminal or suspect who is present before them is urgent. The law provides, however, no penalty for merely evading arrest by a police officer, though it penalizes resistance to , or escape from , such arrest. On the other hand the law does provide severe penalty or recalcitrance to an order in the form of a warrant by a Court , entirely. Respective of the evidence of the guilt of the person against whom the warrant is issued. For merely evading obedience to a warrant of arrest, a man is liable to proclamation and the confiscation of his property and any one who harbors him, as defined in Section 52-A of the Indian Penal Code, can also be severely punished. Whenever , therefore, a person is wanted, whose whereabouts are not immediately known, the notice shall, before setting off in search of him, obtain a warrant of arrest from the Court having jurisdiction . Unsuccessful search without such a warrant is merely waste of time. On the other hand immediately it is found that, in spite of all reasonable effort, a warrant cannot be executed, a proclamation order under Section 87, Criminal Procedure Code, can be obtained and, on proclamation being dully carried out, attachment under Section 88, Criminal Procedure Code, can immediately follow, and connivance by any person at the continued absconding of the person proclaimed becomes punishable under section 216, Indian Penal Code. Note.—Under Section 200, Clause (QQ) , Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 204. Code of Criminal Procedure, a Police Officer can obtain a warrant on a written complaint. 26.6. Illness of persons under arrest. – When a person in police custody is suffering from any illness or injury at the time of arrest , or becomes ill or sustained injury while in such custody such a person shall be medically examined at the earliest opportunity so that the nature and cause of the illness or injury may be ascertained and proper treatment given. 26.7.
Identification of accused. – (1) Whenever there is doubt as to the correctness of a statement made by an arrested person regarding his identity, residence or antecedents, an attestation certificate in Form 26.7(1), shall at once be despatched to the officer in charge of the police station in the jurisdiction of which such person claims to be resident; such officer shall immediately make, or cause to be made, all necessary inquiries, and shall ascertain if such persons name is entered in the Village Conviction . The certificate shall be returned completed with as little delay as possible and shall be attached to the chart-sheet . This form of attestation certificate shall be used whether the person arrested states he is a resident of the police station in which arrested, or of some other police station, and whether or not a search slip is despatched to the Finger Print Burea. (2)Detailed orders regarding the preparation of search slips and the finger print system are published in the Police Finger Print Bureau Manual.
26.8. Report of arrest. – (1)Under Section 62, Code of Criminal Procedure, an officer in charge of a police station is required to report to the District Magistrate, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, or such other Magistrate as the District Magistrate may direct, all arrests without warrant made by himself or in his jurisdiction.

Arrest on a telegram.—(1)In any case in which he has jurisdiction to arrest, a police officer shall take action on a telegram from a police officer or Magistrate requiring him to arrest a person for a cognizable offence, but when such telegram is received from a private person he shall not arrest unless the particulars given cover a cognizable offence and afford reasonable that the person to be arrested is the offender. (2)If a telegram is received by a police officer requesting him to arrest a person for an offence which appears to such police officers to be noncognizable he shall lay information before a Magistrate having jurisdiction with a view to the issue of a summons or warrant. If such Magistrate declines to issue a summons or warrant the orders of the District Magistrate shall be sought. (3)A police officer who dispatches a telegram to another police officer requesting him to arrest a person without warrant shall be responsible that the information in his possession is sufficient to justify, and that the police officer addressed has jurisdiction to make such arrest. In all such telegrams suthcient particulars shall be given of the person to be arrested and the offence of which he is accused. 26.10. Co-operation with Police of Indian States.—(1) The procedure for securing the arrest and extradition of offenders in Indian States who are accused of having committed offences in British India is prescribed in Punjab Government Consolidated Circular No. 20. The India Extradition Act XV of 1903 governs arrests and extradition from British India to Indian States. Detailed instructions regarding the extradition of criminals and foreign jurisdiction and the application of the Indian Extradition Act are contained in Chapter 16 Volume III, Rules and Orders of he H9igh Court of Judicature of Lahore. (2)The powers of pursuit of offenders conferred by Section 58, Criminal Procedure Code do not cover pursuit into the territory of and Indian State; established custom and usage in respect of the relations between the British Government and such States, however, permits such pursuit, and requires the authorities of the States concerned to render all opposable assistance in investigating cases, following up offenders and effecting their apprehension and detention pending the grant of extradition. Reciprocal arrangement have, however, been made with Jammu-Kashmir, Patiala, Jind, Nabha, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Malerkotla and Bikaner and these have been embodied in rules framed by the Governor-General in Council under the Indian Extradition Act and Stead in Foreign and Political Department Notification No.107-I, dated the 24th February, 1932, which appears as Appendix 26.10(2) of these rules. Officers of the Punjab Police entering Indian State territory in pursuit of offenders, or for purposes connected with an investigation, shall invariably inform the nearest police or other official of the State and summon him to their assistance at the earliest possible moment, and, pending the arrival of such assistance shall take only such action as is necessary to prevent the escape of offenders or the removal of stolen property. Though the right of pursuit is recognized by convention, no rights of search ar arrest vest in police officers as such beyond the limits of British India. Searches for and arrests of persons and searches for property must, therefore, be carried out by the State police having jurisdiction,acting on the request of the police of British India. (3)Section 54 seventhly, Criminal Procedure Code, and Rule 28 of the rules made under Section 39-A , Punjab Laws Act (IV of 1872) , confer power upon police officers, village heen and village watchmen to arrest persons suspected of having committed extraditable offences in Indian States. These powers may be exercised upon information received from any source including the police of an Indian State. Persons so arrested shall be taken before a qualified Magistrate without delay with a view to steps being taken for extradition. (4)Searches for property may be conducted only in accordance with Sections 165,166 or 96, Code of Criminal Procedure. When the police of an Indian State require such a search to be made in British India in connection with a case under their investigation, such search can only be conducted if the information is such as to warrant the police of the British District concerned opening an investigation of an offence punishable under Section 411, Indian Penal Code or any other extraditable cognizable offence or on the obtaining by the police of the district of a search warrant under Section 96, Criminal Procedure Code. Pending the receipt of such warrant the district police shall place a watch on the house to be searched and http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

(5)General Rules framed by the Punjab Government and the Durbara of certain Indian States to secure co-operation between the police in ading jurisdictions are contained in Appendix 26.10(5).

All action required must be taken by the police having jurisdiction. The handing over of accused persons to the police not having such jurisdiction is strictly prohibited. When it is essential for the purposes of an investigation that an accused person should be sent to any place for the purposes of investigation, he shall be taken by the police who are legally entitled to his custody, and they shall be responsible for him in every respect. The attendance of witnesses from one jurisdiction to an investigation in another cannot be enforced. (6)All police officers shall at all times do all in their power to promote friendly relations and a spirit of co-operation with the police of Indian States.

The suspects shall be placed among other persons similarly dressed and of the same religion and social status, in the proportion of 8 or 9 such persons to one suspect. Each witness shall then be brought up separately to attempt his identification. Care shall be taken that the remaining witnesses are still kept out of sight and hearing and that no opportunity is permitted for communications to between witnesses who have been called up and those who have not. It is desired, through fear of revenge or for other adequate reasons, that witnesses shall not be seen by the suspects, arrangements shall be made for the former, when called up to stand behind a screen or be otherwise placed so that they can see clearly without being seen. The results of the tests shall be recorded by the Magistrate or other persons conducting the test in Form 26.32(1)(c) as each witness views the suspect. On conclusion, the Magistrate or the Sarpanch or the Lambardar and the witnesses, if any, shall sign the form and certify that the test has been carried out correctly and that no collusion between the police and witnesses or among the witnesses themselves was possible. It is advisable that, whenever possible, an independent and reliable person, un-connected with the Police, should be present throughout the proceedings at he place where the witnesses are kept, and should be required to devote his attention to the prevention of collusion. It is important that once the arrangements for the proceedings have been undertaken, no police officer whatsoever shall have shall have access whatever either to the suspects or to the witnesses.
(2) Proceedings of the nature described above are extra-judicial. It is not the duty of the officer conducting them or of the independent witnesses to record statements or cross-examine either suspects or identifying witnesses, but they should be requested to question the latter as to the circumstances in which they saw the suspects whom they claim to identify, and to record the answer in column 4 of the form. While every precaution shall be taken to prevent collusion, the identifying witnesses must be given a fair chance, and conditions must not be imposed, which would make it impossible for a person honestly capable of making an identification to do so. In this connection attention is invited to paragraph 814 of the Punjab Jail Mail, which strictly prohibits the alternation in any way to he personal appearance of unconvicted prisoners, so as to make it difficult to recognise.

In these rules “competent military authority” means the Brigade Commander, “competent naval authority” means the Flag Officer Commanding Royal Indian Navy, and “competent Air Force in India”. PART IV PROCEDURE IN CASES OF CIVIL OFFENCES COMMITTED BY PERSONS SUBJECT TO INDIAN ARMY ACT.
1.
An offence committed against the person or property of a civilian cannot as a rule be tried by court-martial.
2.
Offences under the Indian Army Act, Sections 27(d), 35(a), (b), 39(b), (d), 41 and 42, as well as most offences under Section 31, can be tried by a court-martial or a civil court.
3.
The procedure in a case where there is dual jurisdiction is laid down in the Indian Army Act-Sections 69 and 70; the prescribed military authority being the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, district, brigade or station commander. If the offender is in Military custody he Unit Commander Civil Mgistrate will take steps to request the prescribed military authority to decide before which court proceedings shall be instituted; but in those cases falling under the Indain Army Act, Sections 41 and 42, in which death has resulted, the decision shall rest with the district commander or General Officer Commanding-in-Chief. APPENDIX No. 26.14(3) PROCEDURE FOR DEALING WITH BRITISH SOLDIERS FOR CIVL OFFENCES Circular Memorandum from the Adjutant-General in India to all Commands and Bumma District No. B 680/2 (A.G-8) dated Simla, the 1st August 1930. (Copies to all formations and units having British soldiers on their strength). I am directed to draw your attention to the position of British soldiers who, having been convicted by a Civil Court for a civil offence, undergo their sentences in Civil Jails.
This matter has been under consideration at Army Headquarters, in view of the adverse effect, which the revised Civil Jail Classification Rules may have on the welfare of such British personnnel. The factors, which effect the possibility of such such personnel undergoing in military prisons imprisonment awarded by Civil Courts, are as follows:-- Although it is within the competence of a local Government, under Section 541 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to declare a Military Prison a place where any person liable to be imprisoned or committed to custody under the Code of Criminal Procedure shall be confined, it is not possible under the Army Act for soldiers convicted by Civil Courts to be legally received in a Military Prison constituted under Section 132 of the Act for the purpose of serving their sentences, as no power exists under Section 70 of the Army Act to make rules for carrying into effect sentences other than those awarded by Court-Martial No.Warrant of Committal similar to Form ‘C’ could, therefore, be prescribed. In these circumstances amendment of the Army would be necessary before the receptions into a Military Prison of British personnel sentenced by a Civil Court could be made legal under the Act. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The question at issue has been represented to the Home authorities in the past, but alteration of the existing law has always been opposed by them. It is not therefore proposed to approach the Army Council at this juncture with a view to the necessary amendments to the Army Act being carried out. However, it is essential to safeguard British soldiers charged with civil offences, whose discharge from the Army is not applied for, from the contaminating influence of civil criminal assocated while in jail. His Excellency the Commander in Chief therefore directs that in all cases in which British soldiers are charged with civil offences the following procedure shall be adopted. On receipts of information from the civil authorities that a British soldiers is charge with a civil offence the Officer Commanding the unit in which the man concerned is serving will decide at once whether, in view of the character of the accused and of the crime committed, he will, if the accused is convicted apply for his discharge from the army under King’s Regulations, paragraph 370(x). If the Officer Commanding decides that discharges shall not be applied for, he will claim the accused for trial by Court-Martial, unless such trial is barred by the provisions of Army Act, Sections 41(5)(a) or is inadvisable,-- vide Regulations for the Army in India, Appendix IX, part 1, paragraph 2(a) and (b). When the Officer Commanding decide that, if convicted, the discharge of the accused shall be applied for, he will allow the civil law to take its course and not claim the accused for trial by Court Martial. Application for discharge will be submitted as soon as possible after the sentence ed by the Civil Court has become absolute either by an appeal not being preferred within the period allowed by law or by the appeal being dismissed. Should the circumstances of civil offence committed by a British soldiers disclose the fact that the crime was probably committed with the object of the accused obtaining his discharge from the Army trial by Court-Martial will invariably be resorted to unless the crime committed falls under the restrictions quoted above. The adoption of the above procedure will ensure, as far as is legally possible, that soldiers, charged with civil offences whose discharge from the Army is not desired, will not be subjected to the evil influences associated with life in a civil prison. The attention of all officers empowered to confirm Courts-Martial is drawn to the implication contained in paragraph 652(h) of King’s Regulations. Although detention is lower in the scale of punishment than imprisonment, the work and military training carried out by soldiers undergoing detention are of more professional benefit to men returning to their Units than the harder but less technical programme laid down military prisoners sentenced to imprisonment. Therefore when a solider charged with a civil offence has been claimed from the Civil Authorities for trial by Court-Martial, the desirability of committing a sentence of imprisonment to one of detention must be carefully considered. Note: The above instructions have been supplemented by A.H.O Letter No. B/21379 (A.G-8) dated the 22nd June, 1933, directing that no British soldier shall be left for trial by a Civil Court, i.e. all shall be claimed for trial by court-martial, unless the offence with which the soldier is charged is one of those which a court-martial is not empowered to try, viz, treason murder, man-slaughter, treason-felony and rape.

The Police Rules, 1934
With the exceptions noted above, police officers are not entitled either to have original judicial records handed over to them for perusal or to obtain copies free of charge. On the frequent occasions when it is necessary for a Superintendent of Police, in the discharge of his duties, to study the evidence and decisions recorded at a trial, the proper channel for obtaining access to such records is through the authority of the District Magistrate. The latter is head of the prosecuting agency, of which the Superintendent of Police in direct charge, and that agency requires constant access to judicial records, in order to fulfil its duty of assisting the District Magistrate through the Superintendent of Police, to keep in close tough with the work of Magistrates’ courts and the results of cases. When a prsual of the original record will suffice, copies should be dispensed with, as fees for them have to be paid in every case, whether from police or judicial funds. It is the practice of the High Court to print the proceedings in all cases in which the death sentence is inflicted, and it is sometimes possible in such cases to obtain spare copies of the printed records on application, through the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Criminal Investigation Department, to the Registrar of the High Court. 27.12 Maintenance of order and watch over prisoners in courts – (1) On every day when the courts are sitting, a sufficient number of police shall be provided in the precincts of the courts to guard prisoners, take into custody persons who surrender to their bail, whose bail bonds are cancelled, or who may otherwise be arrested by the order of a court, and to preserved order in and in the neighbourhood of courts. The guard in court shall be strengthened, when prisoners are of a desparate and dangerous character, or when a case is being heard which is likely to cause public excitement or demonstrations. (2) All prisoners under arrest shall invariably be thoroughly searched before being taken into court, the police officer in command of he party furnishing guards for prisoners shall be personally responsible that this is done.

A case coming into the latter category would be one in which the method by which the crime has been committed is or is likely to be widely employed. 27.14 Prosecuting Agency – Composition of – (1) The police prosecuting agency in each district shall consist of such number of gazetted officers, upper and lower subordinates as may, from time to time, be sanctioned by the local government and the Inspector-General of Police.

(ii)

Extract from Chapter 3-A, of Volume IV, High Court Rules and Orders regarding the duties of the prosecuting agency towards the District Magistrate. (7) A convenient and valuable source of information for the adequate supervision of criminal business is the Police Department English of cognizable offences mentioned in the Police Rule 24-8 (1). This is placed before the District Magistrate on each working day when he is at district headquarters. It gives information not only of the action of the police (thus enabling the District Magistrate, to superintend their work) but also affords the means of watching the progress and the results of business in Court. The practice of merely initialing this after a hasty glance at it too commonly prevails, but a few minutes each day spent on considering the entries for the day and for preceding days will enable the District Magistrate to maintain a close touch with all branches of the criminal istration. The entries for the day bring to light at once the orders of courts which are prima facie unsatisfactory and which require the scrutiny of the District Magistrate. The , therefore, facilitates the making of references to the High Court, and puts the Deputy Commissioner in a position at the earliest possible moment to initiate proceedings by way of appeal. It can also be used to disclose cases which have been pending for an inordinate time. (8) The Deputy Commissioner is the head of the prosecuting agency in the district and this affords him a further opportunity of keeping in touch with the work in all courts. It is easy for him to arrange to be informed by the prosecuting agency each day of any omission on the part of courts to record the evidence of witnesses produced and to investigate promptly any complaint which may be made of dilatoriness in any particular court. (9) * * * * * * * * (10) The Judges are strongly of opinion that it is necessary to revert to the old system of sending up all material witnesses with the chalan. This system has been resumed in some districts with very marked success, but it can be carried out only if the work of Magistrates is so arranged that they shall without delay commence the trial of chalans presented to them by the police. No excuse for not proceeding at once with a chalan, should be accepted other than that the Magistrate is already engaged on another chalan, or on a complaint case in which a postponement would work genuine hardship. In such contingencies the fresh chalan should be proceeded with as soon as the Magistrate is free from the first from the first case, and it must be impressed upon Magistrate that witness should be examined at once, that the trial must proceed from day to day without interruption, that charges should be framed without delay and without adjournment for the purpose of considering whether a charge should be framed or not, and that deference should bot be paid to the wishes of an unready bar. If the presentation of witnesses along with chalans renders it impossible on any particular day to record the statement of witness present in complaint cases, the evidence of the latte should be recorded the first thing next morning before the business of that day is undertaken, and similarly on any succeeding day the arrears of the pervious day should be disposed of before the set work of that day. In this way it will be possible to avoid retaining any witnesses for more than two days at the utmost. Should congestion occur or be threatened, the Magistrate should apply promptly to the District Magistrate for sanction to fix one or more blank days in the week to be utilized for catching up with arrears, and the District Magistrate will find it convenient to receive each day from the prosecuting inspector a short note showing how the system is working in each of the subordinate courts.

The Police Rules, 1934
(11) All arrests made by the police without warrant are reported to District Magistrate under Section 62 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and all remand orders under Section 167 ed by subordinate Magistrates are similarly reported. Both these reports should be forwarded tot he ilaqa Magistrate, who has already received the First Information Report. The Magistrate of the ilaqa is, thus, in a position to know what crime is under investigation in his ilaqa, and what cases are likely to reach his Court within the next days. The Magistrate is responsible that the completion report under Section 173 of the Criminal Procedure Code is not unduly delayed, and his responsibility in this respect should be emphasized. He should insist on the prompt submission of the First Information Report and of the arrest report, and he should call for the completion report from the Superintendent of Police if that report is unduly delayed. The District Magistrate should cause the ilaqa Magistrate to realize that he is not a mere Judge whose duty it is simply to decide cases produced before him, but that he is at all times responsible for the maintenance of the peace in the area which is made over into his charge. Every effort should be made to get the ilaqa magistrate to take a personal interest in and gain a through knowledge of his own than-as. (12) The Deputy Commissioner’s absence in camp must necessarily interfere with his day-to-day supervision of the work of the subordinate courts, but the interference can be minimized if arrangements are made with the Superintendent of Police that the of cognizable crime is submitted each day to the next senior Magistrate at Sadar. That Magistrate, if not exercising the powers of a District Magistrate is not authorized to issue orders to the police but the object is that he should bring immediately to the notice of the District magistrate cases in which his interference is called for, and in which Magistrate records should be obtained. Similarly the senior Magistrate can be entrusted with the duties of securing the punctual attendance of subordinate Magistrates and of seeing that witnesses are not dismissed without their evidence being recorded or that chalan cases are not delayed. (13) Not infrequently cases have occurred where undue delay has taken place in reporting for revision the unsatisfactory orders of subordinate Courts, or in moving Government to institute appeals. The delay is largely due to reliance on the monthly business statements which may not be submitted to the District Magistrate till a considerable time after the objectionable order has been ed. District Magistrates should make free use of the of cognizable crime for these purposes, and should take prompt action in cases where such action appears necessary. Having done so, they should arrange to be informed at once of any appeal that may be made to the Sessions Court in a case which has been reported, and they must report promptly to the High Court first the fact of the appeal having been filed and later its results.

3/28/2019
The Police Rules, 1934 working between their respective subordinates. The Assistant Inspector-General of Railway Police should also keep in touch with District Magistrates and see that the railway police show proper deference to the district authorities. (ii)
District Magistrates should, form time to time, examine the s railway police station s within their districts and record remarks on such examinations in the Minute Book of the station. Officers in charge of police stations shall send copies of such remarks through their sub-divisional officers to the Assistant Inspector-General who will see that proper action taken.
(iii)
Superintendents of district police shall frequently visit railway police station situated in their districts and satisfy themselves that the orders in connection with the deputation of district policemen to railway stations and co-operation between railway and district police are being properly carried out.

There are many case which, although initially and correctly ed in railway police stations, could equally lawfull and more successfully be dealt with by the district police. Cases of murder reported to have occurred within railway jurisdiction fall into this category, if they arise out of district feuds and quarrels or have been committed outside railway limits, the railway line being merely used by the murderers with a view to creating the impression that death has been accidental. Dacoities, robberies and train wrecking, and similar offences, can often be better dealt with by the district police.

(xi)
When cognizable offences are committed in the vicinity of the railway, but such offences are not required to be investigated by the railway police under these rules, they shall to the utmost of their ability and without neglecting their more immediate duties, use every endeavour to arrest the offender and to assist the district police.
(xii)
Whenever cognizable crime on the railway is specially prevalent in a particular locality, the Assistant Inspector-General of Railway police may call on the Superintendent of Police concerned to co-operate with him in checking it. In such circumstances the Superintendent of Police concerned shall make such dispositions as, after a study of the situation, may be agreed upon by himself and the Assistant Inspector-General Railway Police, to be most suitable. If the section of line affected extends beyond the limits of one district, concerted preventive measures shall be instituted after a conference of police officers representing all the areas concerned.

In residential and commercial areas, where buildings are comparatively widely separated and roads are long and broad the organization of police supervision should be such that, while all parts of a beat and patrol area cannot be under constant observation, the moment at which any particular spot within that area may be watched shall be uncertain. With this object in view both beat constables and supervising patrols in such areas shall be provided with bicycles, as far as funds permit. For http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Such reports should invariably be shown to the officers inspected, either at once or on their return from higher authority, and should be translated into the vernacular if the officers inspected is unable to understand English. It is especially important that inspection reports on police stations and notes in the gazetted officers Minute Book should be helpful and constructive and that these reports and notes should be carefully studied and acted upon by the officer in charge of the police station. Two results of an inspection should be: - (1) that the inspecting officer should have come to a definite conclusion as to the state of crime (satisfactory or unsatisfactory) and the chief causes of such crime; (2) that the officer in charge of the police station should have received active assistance, facilities and suggestions from the inspecting officer towards the improvement of the state of crime. (2) Informal inspections of police stations and posts shall be made as frequently as the Superintendent may consider necessary and desirable, having regard to the circumstances of each particular police station and post. At such inspections, officers shall not spend more time than is necessary in examining s, but shall try to make themselves acquainted with the personnel of the police station or post as the case may be and shall enquire into and discuss matters concerning current crime, cases and procedure with the officer in charge. They shall assist such officer which advice, direction, encouragement or warning as may be required, and shall listen to and deal with any requests he or his subordinates may have to make. (3) Except for purposes of investigation, or other special reason, a police station or post shall not ordinarily be visited by a gazetted officer more than once in the same month. (4) At the end of every quarter each Superintendent shall submit, through the District Magistrate, to the Deputy Inspector – General, an inspection return in Form 20-5 (4) showing the inspection duty performed during the quarter by the gazetted officers in the district. 20-6. Check list of inspections – A check list of inspections in Form 20-6 shall be compiled and maintained in the office of the Deputy Inspector – General from such quarterly returns. 20-7. Cold weather touring – (1) In a district where there are two or more gazetted officers one such officer shall ordinarily be away from headquarters on tour between 15th October and 15th April. In a district where there is only one gazetted officer he shall ordinarily spend 100 days on tour between these dates. Great value is attached by Government to the touring of gazetted officers and, in districts where conditions allow, Superintendents of Police shall make out tour programmes for themselves and their gazetted officers. These programmes shall cater for tours of about six seeks duration and shall provide for halts of two or three days at places not necessarily the headquarters of police stations. They shall be so arranged that as many villages as possible in the district will be visited by a gazetted officer during the course of the year. Should it be necessary for a gazetted officer on tour to return to head quarters for any reason, this must be regarded as only a temporary break in the tour and the programme shall be resumed as soon as possible. (2) The work of a gazetted police officer on tour in addition to the inspection of police stations shall include,--(a) The acquiring of a knowledge of the people, their factions, criminals, villages and geography so as to be able to check the work of subordinates. (b) The encouragement of the local people to take advantage of his accessibility and give him information. (c) The enquiring in the presence of heen into the character of persons under surveillance and of persons whose history sheets are maintained by the police. (d) The checking of investigations made by the police by occasionally visiting the scenes of old cases, interviewing complainants and witnesses and referring to case diaries. (e) The enquiring into rumours or complaints of police malpractices or corruption. (f) The bringing up to date of confidential note books. (g) The checking of the Criminal Tribes s and the interviewing of of criminal tribes. (h) The inspection of additional police posts and the checking of patrolling done from them. Also enquiring into the desirability of the establishment of such posts in disturbed and abnormally criminal areas. (i) The checking of “tikri pahra” where this is in force and its institution where desirable. (j) The inspection of premises licensed under the Arms Act. 20-8. City and Cantonments Inspectors – duties of – (1) City and cantonment inspectors are not only supervising and inspecting officers, but have the same responsibilities as officers in charge of police stations and are bound by the orders laid down in rule 22-1. (2) In addition to the duties, etc., defined in the rule quoted, they shall inspect once in every quarter, or as frequently as prescribed by law or special order of the Superintendent, the shops, premises and stocks of all license-holders carrying on business within their jurisdictions under the Arms, Explosives, Petroleum and Poisons Acts and shall report such inspections to the Superintendent. 20-9. City and Cantonment Inspections – Records to be maintained by – The shall maintain and keep in their personal custody the following books in English:--(a) Daily Diary, in which shall be entered their movements and proceedings. The entries of each day shall bear a serial number. (b) Permanent Note Book in which shall be entered matters which are of use to themselves or their successors, particulars regarding noted bad characters, any special class of crime prevalent, special preventive measures adopted and political and seditious movements. A separate page or pages shall be given to each subject, and an index to the contents shall be given on the first page. The permanent note book shall contain matters of more than ing interest and form a more or less permanent record of informationas well as a history of local conditions. 20-10. District Inspectors – (1) District inspectors are allotted to district in order, firstly, to assist the Superintendent in the control of preventive and detective operations, secondly to learn, and be tested in the duties and responsibilities of supervising officer, in view of the fact that the rank of inspector forms the chief field of recruitment to the gazetted ranks. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

The Police Rules, 1934
(2) District inspectors shall be employed to supervise, under the direct control of the Superintendent, the work of the police in particular areas or, if local conditions at any time make it desirable, in connection with specially prevalent classes of crime. Normally a district inspector should be placed in charge of a selected group of police stations, and his responsibility for exercising control in this area should be the same as that of a Deputy Superintendents attached to a district. (3) While the control of crime is the first duty of a district inspector, it is essential that his professional efficiency should be general and should approach the standards required of a gazetted officer. He must, therefore, attend parades whenever possible and render himself efficient in drill and musketry, and in imparting instruction on those subjects to his subordinates. He is also required to familiarise himself with the work of the different branches of the office of the Superintendent and to assist, when at headquarters, in supervising the work of the ant and orderly head constable. 20-11. Special duties of District Inspectors – (1) A district inspector will read and orders on all first information and final reports, case diaries, daily diaries and other papers connected with the control of the crime in the police stations in his charge. He shall forward to the Superintendent such of these papers as that officer may be general of special order require, and shall keep a running note book of offences as prescribed for gazetted officers in rule 21-8. (2) The following matters shall receive the inspector’s special attention:--(a) The collection of material for proceedings against bad characters, and the preparation and check of history sheets. (b) The comprehensive survey and classification of crime throughout the area in his charge, and the comparison of such crime with crime in adjacent areas including the jurisdiction of the railway police, with a view to bringing to light the operations of gangs and mobile criminals. (c) The supervision of important investigations and were necessary, the taking over from the local sub-inspector of the investigation of special cases. (d) The direction of energetic action against absconders and proclaimed offenders. (e) The detailed scrutiny of all challans, including those in cases of preventive security, from the area in his charge, and close co-operation with the prosecuting branch to ensure the best possible presentation of police cases. (f) The collection of material for applications for the location of additional police posts, and the organization and control of all such posts located in the area in his charge. (g) Reporting and enquiring into complaints of corruption, high-handedness and other malpractices by police officers subordinate to him, and conducting, according to the prescribed procedure, such departmental enquiries as may be entrusted to him by the Superintendent. (h) Inspection of licenses of licensee’s premises as required by law and as ordered by the Superintendent. Premises licensed under the Excise, Opium and Dangerous Drugs Acts should not be inspected by police officers, the Excise Staff being responsible for such inspections. (i) Reporting on the state of public feeling and on political and confidential matters. (3) District inspectors shall frequently visit the police stations in their charge and tour in the jurisdictions of those police stations. They shall submit reports, as a result of these tours, on the generl condition of crime in the police stations, but shall not prepare statistical returns or formal inspection reports. Formal inspections of such police stations shall be made by the Superintendent, who may use the inspector to assist him by making a detailed check of the less important s. It shall be the duty of inspectors to ensure that all orders given by the Superintendent in the course of his inspections are understood and promptly carried out. 20-12. District Inspectors limitation of powers of – (1) The Superintendents of Polce shall not delegate as much power to a district inspector as to a gazetted officer but on the other hand shall exercise a much closer supervision over police stations in charge of an office of this rank, who shall ordinarily work directly under the Superintendent rather than under a junior gazetted officer. (2) Correspondence concerning the internal istration of the police force and petitions on personal matters will not ordinarily through the district inspector, but the Superintendent may require that office to enquire and report on any such matters. As a general principle it should be understood that correspondence on the subjects dealt with in Volumes I and II of these rules will not be sent to the inspector either by the Superintendent or by subinspectors unless his comments on a specific reference are specially required. He will ordinarily deal direct with correspondence on subjects included in Volume III, forwarded to the Superintendent all cases which it is beyond his power to decide. (3) The orders in the above sub-rule do not relieve the inspector of responsibility for insisting on the efficiency, discipline and smartness of the police subordinate to him in all branches of their work. While it is not desirable to detract in any way from the direct control of the Superintendent in matters of istration and discipline, full must be given to the inspector in maintaining his authority with his subordinates. 20-13. Records to be kept by District Inspectors – The district inspector shall submit a weekly disary to the Superintendent on plain paper of foolscap size; in it the inspector’s daily movements and activities, with brief reference to important work done in respect of the control of crime, together with notes on matters of a political of confidential nature other than those relating to crime, shall be entered. The diary shall be duplicated with carbon paper, the duplicate copy being retained by the inspector in an annual fule, to be destroyed one year after the last entry. Each district inspector shall also make entries, as circumstances may require, in the confidential note-books which shall be maintained at the headquarters of each district or sub-division separately for each police station. Such note books shall be permanent records, kept by the gazetted officer or inspector in supervisory chare of the police station concerned fo the time being, and containing matter of the kind which is required by Rule 21-8 to find a place in the confidential note-book maintained bythe Superintendent for the district as a whole. 20-14.

(2) Under these rules s in Forms E, F, G, H and I are required to be kept up in the office of Superintendents of Police and information from these s supplied to police stations for inclusion in No.17 (rule 22-68). 20-15. Proposals for the improvement of police organization – It is the duty Deputy Inspector-General to initiate proposals for the improvement of the police organization in their ranges and to co-ordinate such proposals so that, as funds become available, they may be distributed to the best advantage and in accordance with the relative urgency of requirements. Deputy Inspector-General should furnish the Inspector-General, in advance of the season for the preparation of budgets and supplementary demands, with proposals affecting establishments; buildings and land, clothing and equipment or the provision of technical aids to the police, and funds for rewards and similar expenditure in combating crime. The Inspector-General will decide whether to accept and recommend such proposals, but it is for Deputy Inspectors-General to put them forward. Each separate proposal should be submitted to the Inspector-General in a self-contained form, after all necessary details have been worked out and the opinions of those concerned obtained. To save unnecessary labour on cases which have little chance of obtaining early sanction, it is usually desirable that an outline of proposals, which are important but not of extreme urgency, should be put before the Inspector-General unofficially in the first instance. The Inspector-General can then, if he approves of the proposal on its merits, indicate whether, in view of the requirements of the province as a whole and of the financial position, it should be put forward officially or held in abeyance. 20-16. Provincial Police Conference – Ordinarily a provincial conference of police officers will be held in alternate years during the cold weather. The Inspector-General will preside at such conference and such subjects will be discussed as he may decide. Gazetted officers who may be particularly interested in particular subjects or branches of police work may volunteer or be invited to prepare papers which will form the bases of discussions at the conference. Such papers and the result of discussions will be published in the Punjab Criminal Intelligence Gazette for the information of all police officers. http://nasirlawsite.com/laws/prules34.htm

Range Conference – Deputy Inspectors-General may arrange from time to time to hold conferences of gazetted officers within their ranges and may also arrange with other Deputy Inspectors-General for inter-range conferences.

Meeting of gazetted officers – Superintendents of ading districts shall meet to discuss measures of co-operation as often as may be necessary in the interest of efficient working. The proceedings of such meetings shall be briefly recorded in a minute book to be maintained for the purpose in each district, and a copy shall be attached to the weekly diary of the Superintendents concerned. At the reverse end of the minute book a record of meetings between inspectors and officers in charge of police stations shall be maintained in Form 20-18. 20-19. Meetings of non-gazetted officers – Superintendents shall also arrange for half-yearly meetings at headquarters of all officers in charge of police stations.
