APPENDIX 4
ALTERATION OF BOUNDARIES OF POLICE-STATION AND CREATION OF NEW
POLICE-STATIONS
(RULE 73).

1. According to Section 2(s) of Criminal Procedure Code proposals for setting up a New Police-Station or for
redistribution of villages located in two or more Police-Stations shall be sent from the office of Superintendent
through the District Magistrate and Range Deputy Inspector-General to the Inspector-General. The Deputy Inspector-
General will, before forwarding the proposal to Inspector-General, obtain the recommendation of Divisional
Commissioner. The Deputy Inspector-General and Commissioner can do this informally. In order to save time, the
preliminary proposals should be accompanied with (1) crime figures justifying change, (2) rough Sketch Maps. (3)
population figures. (4) number of B. Cs. residing in the area, etc. As soon as approval of Government is obtained, the
New Police-Station may be set up formally or transfer of villages from one P.-S. area to another may be given effect
but registration of F.I.R. etc. concerning the new area will continue to be done at the parent P.-S. till a formal
Government notification giving effect to changes is done.

2. (a) In case a New Police-Station is to be created, the draft notification in Form A given below will follow specifying
in para 1 the areas to be included in the New Police-Station. and other Police-Stations affected thereby. In para 2 of
that form, the description of those prior notifications wi ll be given which should be cancelled or changed in
consequence of the change.
(b) When there is a proposal only for the change in the boundary of two or more Police-Stations, the draft notification
of this proposal should be sent in Form B specifying in para 1. the description and names of villages transferred from
one Police-Station to another Police-Station. In para 2 of the form, the description of earlier notifications will be given
which should be cancelled or changed in consequence of the transfer. At the same time, a corrected list of the villages
of the Police-Station affected will also be given. In both cases, a I 'liana Map prepared by the Bihar Survey Office,
Gulzarbagh, Patna on the basis of standard sheets with the new and old boundaries of the Police-Stations and the
villages transferred clearly shown on it, in different colours shall be submitted.

3. The area to be contained in the Police-Station should generally be shown by giving a list of villages. These lists
which are eventually sent from the office of Inspector-General alter obtaining from Superintendents of Police for
including in the notification should be verified first of all at district level in the office of the District Magistrate in
order to ensure that the revenue number, etc. is correct and that any particular Panchayat is not being divided into two
Police-Stations. This verification shall he got done from the office of the Additional Collector and Panchayat Officer
by the District Magistrate.

4. When a district has been surveyed and settled, authoritative thana maps and thana lists of villages are available,
and the thana numbers of the villages and the thana name should he entered. If settlement thana maps and lists are
not available, the Revenue I liana and the name of the Anchal of the village should be given. If settlement thana lists
are not available, it will generally be advisable to give the boundaries of the area to be included in the Police-Station
and to omit the list of villages since in the absence of properly compiled jurisdiction lists, lists of the villages are liable
to be incomplete and to contain mistakes, and when mistakes are discovered they have to be corrected by fresh
notifications. It may also be desirable in some cases to define the area by its boundaries even when properly compiled
jurisdiction lists are available for example, where the boundaries are rivers which are liable to shift their courses.
5. Creation of or change in boundaries of a Police-Station should he done rarely and may arise out of following:—
(a) When Police-Stations are to be regrouped on Anchal Basis.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 28


(b) When new colonics spring up for example in Railway limits which are to be transferred to district
Police due to increase in population crime, etc. vide Rule 459(a).

(c) When due to alteration in revenue thana boundary, e.g., transfer of villages, or a Police-Station,
or part of a Police-Station from one revenue thana circle to another, and vice versa proposals emanate
from the District Magistrate after consultation with the Superintendents which should show the names
of villages to be transferred and then serial numbers in the jurisdiction lists, and also the copies of the
Mujmilli maps of thanas affected as per Rules 739—741 of the Bihar Survey and Settlement Manual.

6. After the proposed changes have been approved by Government and a notification published in the
Bihar Gazette, the Director of Land Records shall make corrections in the jurisdiction lists and in the maps
of Police-Stations kept in Survey Office. Only corrected maps of Police-Stations should be sent from survey
office every year as per-Note 2 of Appendix 55.

7. Even Police-Station should preserve the sketch maps in which its areas are given with a list of villages
falling within the area of Police-Stations in which revenue thana numbers should also he noted. The list
should be hung up in the form of a Takhti vide Rule 76.

In the office of Superintendent of Police concerned, the above noted sketch maps, lists and notifications of
all police-stations situated in a district should be available.

APPENDIX 6
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRITING DESCRIPTIVE ROLLS.
(RULE 114)
1. The primary object of a descriptive roll is to record in a concise form the facial and general appearance
and physical and other peculiarities of an individual in such a manner that a person who had never seen that individual
might be able to pick him out from among others.

2. It is clearly necessary to exercise care in recording descriptions. Merely to jot down a few common
points which may apply equally well to hundreds of other persons is not only of no use, but a distinct hindrance to police
work. Officers must in the first instance look for unusual or marked peculiarities. If the face or general appearance do not
provide any, it is more than probable that there will be something in a man's speech, gait, disposition, etc. that will be
sufficiently marked to help in his identification. Failing any outstanding feature or peculiarity it is always possible to
put together a useful portrait of the more prominent parts of the face and body that will not apply to a large number of
persons. Such a description as "tall, dark, medium build, age 40 is obviously useless for purposes of identification.

3. It is difficult to lay down any definite directions as to how much or how little is to be recorded.
That depends entirely on the subject. If, for instance, a man has a "hare lip" it is clearly unnecessary to go into detail
about the rest of his appearance. His age, height, build and one or two other points would be sufficient. The "hare lip" is
what would be looked for and if two persons with this peculiarity were found, it is not likely that there would be any difficulty
in deciding, from the one or two other points recorded which the wanted man was.

4. The guiding principle is to give the age,潀 height, build and a brief description of the face and general
appearance, noting any peculiarities, and then to describe any outstanding traits such as of his gait, speech, disposition, dress, etc. that
attracts attention. Special marks and peculiarities are the points that are of the greatest help and importance. If
none are found then the general description can be more detailed.

5. The various points of which particulars should be recorded are given below and these cover the field
of all ordinary requirements and detail the main variations to be looked for. It is not intended that something must be
written under each item. A descriptive roll going into so much detail would be far too cumbrous. Something should be
recorded under all the items of "General appearance" and under one or more of each of the other headings more attention
being given to the face than to other parts of the body, while special marks, gait, speech, disposition, dress are all important
enough to demand attention.

6. In recording descriptions it is very important to look at the individual both full face and in profile, to
watch him walking, and talking and to examine his body for special marks. When recording descriptions of unknown
persons from complainants or witnesses who had seen them at close quarters, it will often repay officers to question them on
the various items of the list. Merely to ask a complainant to describe an accused is not likely to produce anything useful,
whereas if his memory is jogged by a few pertinent questions he may remember something valuable that would otherwise
go unrecorded.

APPENDIX 7
CRIME MAPS.
(RULES 67, 131 AND 879).

1.The object of a crime map is to enable a police-officer to see at a glance the local incidence of a particular form
of crime and their number. I he crime index and the crime graphs, statistical charts prescribed by Rules 879 and 880
enable the Superintendent or Inspector to follow the progress of crime generally but do not enable him to ascertain the
particular localities which are contributing or have contributed to a marked deviation from the normal.
2.A crime map can he opened for any particular class of crime or for a particular area that may have become a
special problem. As a rule, however, by the use of different easily distinguishable symbols and in the ease of the district
maps kept by Superintendents (see below I b\ the use of coloured Hags or by making entries in different coloured inks,
one map will usually suffice for the purpose of showing .ill those forms of crime, the incidence of which it is ordinarily
necessary to know, viz., dacoity, robbery, burglary, house theft and cattle theft.
3.The normal condition of a district is that the incidence of these crimes is not sufficiently localised lo attract attention
over considerable portions of a jurisdiction; but in certain areas, varying from time to time, it is sufficient!)
concentrated to mark out such areas as criminal localities and these criminal localities go to form the crime problem of
the district for the time being. It is important lo watch them in order lo apply preventive measures before the local
incidence develops into a serious outbreak, as neglect in the earlier stages of such developments is a common n man)
troublesome epidemics. Moreover the best prevention is that which begins earliest and is applied before criminals
become habitual. or have had time to form organized gangs.
4. Every Superintendent is supplied annually in December䆐 by the Survey Office, Gulzarbagh. Patna. with three copies

of skeleton maps of every police-station in his district. One sheet is for his own use. one for his circle inspectors and the
third set is lor station-officers. Maps which arc of revenue thana jurisdictions comprising more than one police-station
should be carefully divided into the police-station jurisdictions. Extra copies required for a sub-divisional police officer,
if any, or for any special purpose ma) he obtained on indent. For town areas separate maps should be opened, local maps
prepared b) municipal authorities or other local bodies being purchased for the purpose. All maps which are obtained
shall be treated as confidential and kept safely. Their destruction shall be done by Superintendent in his presence.

5. Only line eases shall he marked on crime maps and the entries shall be made as soon as the final report or charge-sheet
has been submitted or where there is a delay of more than one week in their submission, as soon as the Police arc satisfied
that the case is a true one. When a case entered on a map is subsequent!) Declared false, it can be neatly scored through.
I he fact that a case has been entered on the crime map shall be noted on the station copy of the first Information Report
by station officers and b) other officers in their crime Indices.

6. In order that maps may be correctly entered up it is vet) important that the distances and directions of the scene of
occurrence from the police-station should be very carefully recorded in the First Information Report. Failure to do so
results in inaccurate maps. (Officers who are careless in this respect should be taken to task.

7. The exact position of a case should be marked by a dot and the symbol of that particular crime is to be placed over it.
For this purpose, metal tin plates wit h the required aperture shall be supplied which shall be placed firmly to the map and
the exposed aperture of the map shall be marked with coloured pencil or ink. The number and month of the case will
then be shown on the symbol neatly in black ink, e.g..a burglary by sendh cutting shall

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 37


have 3/4 to indicate case No. 3 of month of April. With regard to such crime which are to be in black ink. the
number and month of the cases will be shown neatly to one side. Cases in which conviction has been obtained
should be subsequently encircled.
There are two sets of symbols on the tin plates, one set being rather larger than the other On Police Station and
Other maps iii which there is not a great deal of crime, the larger symbols should he used while for maps of more
criminal areas, the smaller symbol should he used throughout for any map.

I he following symbols will be adopted for all crime maps:—

11) Burglary by sendh cutting < Red Circle)

(2) Burglary by entrance door or window (Red Square)

(31 Burglary by another methods (Red Triangle)

(4)House theft (Blue Square)

(5)Cattle theft (Blue Circle)

(6)Dacoity (Blackstar in ink) 䆐

(7)Robbery (Black circle in ink)

The residence of all active criminals under surveillance should be marked with a red upright cross + with the
number against each—thus + 7.
The incidence of dacoities should be plotted in the manner prescribed below on the crime maps maintained at
the different Police posts. Dacoity shall be indicated by a four-pointed star. In the cases of an armed dacoity. dots
should be marked in the four angles of the star. The dacoities occurring during the first quarter of the year shall be
marked in black, those occurring during the second quarter shall be marked in brown, and the dacoities occurring
in the third and fourth quarters of the year shall be marked in green and red colours respectively. The four dots in
the corners to be plotted in respect of armed dacoities should also be in the corresponding colours.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 38


8.The boundaries of Chnukiduri unions should be marked with red or other distinctive colour and in town maps the
outpost boundaries and the positions of outpost should be clearly shown.

9.No officer can afford to be ignorant of the position as regards crime in jurisdictions bordering his own. In addition to the
cases occurring in his own jurisdiction, cases occurring in a bordering jurisdiction within 5 miles of the border shall therefore
also be entered. These entries shall be made just outside the boundary without going into too much detail as to the exact
position of each case. In order that up-to-date information may be received every Station officer shall inform officers of
bordering jurisdictions of cases occurring within 5 miles of their borders, as soon as they occur and these shall be
immediately marked on the map. In order to check the situation station officers shall issue enquiry slips in January. April.
Jul) and September to bordering officers requesting them lo supply them with a list of border cases during the previous
quarter.

10. In addition to his set of stations maps, the Superintendent should maintain a crime map of the whole district on a
scale of not less than 8 miles to an inch (4 miles to the inch is the most useful size), upon which the position and boundaries
of every police-station shall be clearly shown In this map the Superintendent shall mark in any of the ways noted in para
7 the incidence of all or any of the forms of crime noted in that para which are sufficient!) rife lo make it necessary for him
to have up-to-date information regarding them. In this map it is ordinarily unnecessary to give details as to the case number
or even the mouth of occurrence, as it is only intended lo show at a glance which are the crime centres. If further information
is at an) time required regarding an) particular centre it is easy to refer to the individual station maps. I he District Crime
Map shall be kept in the Superintendent's own office room, being either hung on the wall or kept pinned to a table.

11. It will rest with Superintendents, when they observe crime prevailing above the normal in any neighbourhood, to
take steps to check it, and at this stage the most important point is to start with an open mind There are grounds for believing

that much of the professional crime that occurs is committed by criminals who have not been convicted before. It may.
Therefore, be both premature and superficial to assume that old convicts are responsible. It is unwise either to adopt such
an assumption, or upon the strength of it to order enquiries to be instituted with a view to seeing whether bad livelihood
proceedings can he instituted forthwith against such persons. The class of bad livelihood proceeding which results from such
an order is apt to turn upon the evidence of witnesses who declare a man to be a criminal because he has been in jail. Starting
always with an open mind the steps for the Superintendent to take or cause to be taken, not necessarily in the order in which
they are here stated. should be to look up the criminal history of the locality and see what clues are afforded by materials
on record at the police-station, especially in the Crime Directory: to scrutinize investigation work by going through case
diaries with the officers concerned, and by testing on the spot to see if there have been faults or omissions in the conduct
of the work, or clues which have been overlooked, and whether suspicions recorded against individuals have been based
upon reasonable grounds : to see if surveillance and picketing has been of a practical character, whether there has been
any effective surveillance of gangs as directed in Rule 380, and what attempt has been made to make the most use of
Chaukidars and to check their work : to examine co-operation with other police-stations, or with the railway police : to seek
information from criminals in jail: and invariably to makes a searching local enquiry directed to the verification of these
details, as well as to-ascertaining whether crime has been full) reported, and whether local residents can give an) clue as to
the criminals responsible. It will then be for decision whether surveillance should be improved or extended, or patrols
established, or proceedings instituted or cases prosecuted, or other measures taken or whether further observation is needed.
No short cut is lo be expected in dealing with professional crime, which affords a problem demanding systematic work and
the patient elimination of error. I he-importance, of full reporting is once more emphasized; not only is information the
necessary basis of action, but

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 39


nothing stamps incapacity so plainly as the discovery of a formed gang of local criminals, whose activities have
been previously unknown, or overlooked.

12.With the returns of crime the Superintendent shall submit brief notes on the crime centres marked down, stating
the nature of the crime, the length of lime for which ii has been prevalent and the attention that has been paid to it.
The notes for the district should not exceed three or four pages in length. Localities may be grouped under one note
where similar conditions apply.
13.These orders apply with such modifications as may be necessary to Superintendents or Deputy/Assistant
Superintendents in charge of certain areas and Inspectors of Railway Police.
In the case of their crime maps, the following details should be shown: police-station, length of line, year, scale
of the map (which should be such that each police-station jurisdiction may be shown on a sheet not exceeding 30 inches
in length), railway stations, level crossings and bridges, gang huts, district, sub divisional and police-station
boundaries touching the line, as well as other important features subject rigidly to the same restriction of not
overloading the map. The occurrence to be noted and symbols to be used should be the same as of District Police but
for special types of Railway crime, the symbols given in P. M. Form No. 75 para 5(b) shall be used.
Maps taken from the railway guide book should be sent wit h the quarterly returns with notes on the lines of those
prescribed for districts.

APPENDIX 8
RULLSIOR PATROLLING
(RULE 138)
A. TOWN PATROL
I. Mr. W. Swain's System

(a) The town patrol staff shall be separate from the investigating Staff, and snail not be employed on investigation
or other work.
(b) In town station or outposts where there is only one havildar, one selected constable shall be appointed lance
havildar for the performance of havildar's duties, so that there may be practically two havildars For each
station or outpost.
(c) One-tenth of the force of each outpost shall be reserved for vacancies, sickness, etc. Two-thirds of the
remainder shall be deputed for patrol duty each night, the remaining one-third being utilized for day
duty.
(d) Town patrol duties shall, when practicable, be so arranged that each havildar and constable ma) get one
night out of every three off duty, and that ever) constable may have at least six hours rest between day duty
and night duty.
(e) Night duty shall be limited to six hours, while day duty shall be limited to three. The table showing the
incidence of day and night duty is appended.
(f) The number of day posts shall be fixed with due regard to the number of men available. Sentries over a
police-station shall be furnished b) the police-station staff and not b) the town police staff.
(g) Even town police-station or outpost area shall be divided into heats. In fixing the size of the beats due
regard shall be given to accessibility, population 䆐and incidence of crime. The total number of beats shall not
exceed four-ninths of the total number of town police constables.
(h) In each beat, suitable sites shall be selected and hooks driven into a wall on which beat constables going on
rounds shall hang the discs referred to below. It may be useful to paint the discs black on one side and red on
its reverse. Thus, for hanging the dise with black side or with red side, two different places should be selected.
The officer-in-charge of a police-station shall decide on e\ cry night as to which discs shall be hung up and
accordingly direct all Town Havildars just before the constables are to be marched to their beats. Sometimes,
a clever combination of black and red discs on the same night for example black discs with one hole and/or
with three holes with an intervening red disc with two holes may be ordered to be hung up to increase the
element of surprise.
However, there shall not be more than eight such hooks in one beat either for black or red disc
N.B. — Instead of hanging discs, another method can be to keep note books hanging at suitable place where
constables/ round officers should give their signatures.
(i) There shall be one fixed post for every two adjoining beats, a point on the common border of two or more
beats and at road crossings being chosen, if possible, for the fixed post.
(j) If variations in the incidence of crime require special attention to be given to a particular beat, it can be
arranged in one of the following ways:—
(i) by moving a neighbouring fixed post into the dangerous beat: this gives an extra man on fixed post duty
always in the beat, while the two patrols attached to the fixed post have a little further to walk to their
respective beats;

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 41


(ii) by amalgamating two fixed posts and placing them in or on the borders of the dangerous beat: of the
six men at the post five patrol: this gives an extra patrol in the dangerous beat, the only inconvenience being
as in (i) above.

( i i i ) by temporarily abolishing one beat, adding its area to two adjoining beats and moving a fixed post
so as to give at) extra patrol in the dangerous area:

(iv) by temporarily, abolishing two beats, adding their area to two adjoining beats and moving the
fixed post into the dangerous beat, thus giving an extra man on fixed post duty and two extra patrols in the
dangerous beat.

(k) Three constables shall be assigned to each pair of beats every, night, viz., one for the fixed post and two for
patrol duly.
(l) Heal constables shall be marched to their fixed posts at 10 p.m. by the havildar or lance havildar. Each party
of three shall be given not more than 16 small t i n discs with one circular hole punched in each. 16 with 2 holes,
and 16 with 3 holes.

Each party of three shall be detailed as follows:—


11 P.M. to 1 A.M. No. 1 shall stand fast at the fixed post keeping in his possession the discs with 2 and 3 holes.
Nos. 2 and 3 shall go round their beats separately and hang their one hole discs on the hooks. They shall return
to the fixed post at 1 A.M. I A.M. to 3 A.M. No. 2 shall stand fast at the fixed post, retaining in his
possession the three-hole discs and
Nos. I and 3 shall go round, hang up the two-hole discs and return to the fixed post at 3 P.M.
3 A.M. to 5 A.M.—No. 3 shall stand fast at the fixed post and Nos. 1 and 2 shall go round, hang up the three-hole
discs and return to the fixed post at 5 A.M.
All three shall then return together to the station or outpost.
(m) When dangerous criminals are likely to be encountered,
䆐 the two constables may he ordered lo patrol
together, in w hi c h case they shall carry one set of not more than eight discs.
(n) Failure on the part of patrolling constables lo return lo their fixed posts within a reasonable lime of the
appointed hours shall be held to he inexcusable unless they can show that they were in pursuit of offenders or
attending lo some oilier important duty.
(o) The constable al the fixed post shall on no account leave his post, except in actual pursuit of an offender, or
an alarm of the fire or other important duty.
(p) The havildar and lance-havildars on night duty shall be responsible that their man proceed on duty punctually. I
hey shall visit every fixed post once in the night and al least one of them twice. 1 hey shall visit the hooks in at least
two beats nightly and sec that the beat constables have actually gone round and hung up the discs and shall
themselves hang on the hooks they visit, the discs with one square hole punched in them. They shall arrange to
collect and bring to the police-station or town outpost every morning all the discs hung up on the previous r:ght by
themselves and their men.
(q) In addition to supervision by tow n havildars patrols should he checked by round officers who should not
endeavour to do too much in one night. They shall be careful to vary the time of Starting the check, sometimes before
and sometimes after midnight.
They shall go to a fixed post at or about the time when the round constable are due to return, they shall see that
the constable on duly at the fixed post is alert and has in his possession the necessary discs, that is to say. between
II P.M. and I A.M. the two and three-hole discs and between 1 A.M. and 3 A.M. the three-hole discs.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 42


They shall await the return of the round constables and see that they have not in their possession discs the) ought to
have hung on the hooks.
They shall sec not only that they are not unreasonably late in returning but that they do not return unreasonably early In
this connection it must be remembered that the constables have no watches and have to guess the time.
They shall then go out with next pair of constables and sec that the requisite discs have actually been hung on
the hooks.
(r) In the morning town havildars. round officers and patrol Sub-Inspectors, where there is any. shall submit round
reports to the officer-in-charge of the police-station, showing what beats they visited and any incident worthy of note,
such as constables found asleep or negligent, constables improperly in possession of discs, or without discs, and am
other important facts relating to round work, crime or bad characters which may have come to notice.
The police-station Sub-Inspector shall take on them such action as is necessary and shall forward their reports without
delay to the Inspector for any action required of him.
(s) A Superintendent, or his Assistant or Deputy at headquarters, shall detail all officers for round duty in turns,
namely. Assistant and Deputy Superintendents. Inspectors. Court and reserve officers, and he shall see that the circle
inspector his assistant sub-inspector, the police-station Sub-Inspectors and writer Havildars Constables do a fair share
of night work: it would not be unreasonable to require an inspector to do two nights a month, a Sub-Inspector four
nights, and a writer Havildar five nights a month on surveillance or patrol duty.
(t) A map of the town drawn to scale shall be kept with all beats, streets and lanes clearly marked on it.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 50


II. CLOCKWISE OR ANTI-CLOCKWISE PATROLLING
Constables may be deputed singly at important places in a beat. One constable shall be posted extra who will relieve a
certain constable at one such place and take up his position there. The relieved constable shall then move to the next post and
relieve the constable there and so on. This type of patrolling may be either clockwise or counter clockwise and one constable is
always on the move.
I I I . BLOCKING
In the system of patrolling noted in AII above in which the exit from or entrance to a beat is sealed by posting a constable,
a section of constables under a Havildar is deputed at each of these places who gradually converges towards a predetermined
central place in the Beat, checking and combing different lanes and bye-lanes and questioning suspicious persons. See Rule
377-A (b).
IV. MOBILE PATROL FROM CONTROL ROOM
See RULE 1225(b)
B. PATROLS OTHER THAN TOWN PATROLS
The rules are divided into three parts, namely:—
I. Genera] rules for patrols.
II. Special rules for gang patrols.
III. Special rules for hat patrols.
The rules are not framed to cover town patrols, but the principles of responsibility and supervision apply equally to
these. All town patrols like the above patrols must be placed in charge of a specified officer, namely, the town inspector, or. if
there be no town inspector, the circle inspector. The officers usually
潀 employed to go round should be placed at the disposal of
the officer-in-charge, but not so as to relieve him in any way of his general responsibility for the working of the patrols. This
responsibility must be enforced through personal diaries, inspections and surprise visits in the same way as for all other patrols,
and an examination of the actual working of the town patrols must form part of every inspection of the sadar police-station.
It must be borne in mind that patrols upon well considered lines, suited to the circumstances of the case, and closely
supervised have proved their value time after lime in the prevention of crime, On the other hand, the casual posting of constables
to look after bad characters in the mufassil, Without anyone to look after the constables themselves, has shown an equally
constant liability to abuse and inefficiency. Constable should not be so employed save in the case of specially selected known
men, and in quite exceptional justifying conditions.
The thana officers while attending block development meetings as per Rule 1276 shall see the co-operation of Gram
Panchayat in patrolling of villages by constables, chaukidars, Dafadars assisted by Village Volunteer Force. Such constables
shall obtain the signatures of Panchayat Officials and/or respectable persons in the village in their command certificates which
may be compared with their specimen signatures, kept at police-stations. The constables shall also report if Half Union wise, batch
patrol of chaukidars and Dafadar is being done according to advance Patrolling chart.
Deputy Inspectors-General should satisfy themselves at their inspections that the rules are observed.
I. GENERAL RULES FOR PATROLS.
The following conditions must be observed in the employment of all road, border and similar patrols :—
(a) Period of employment.—The patrols must be appointed for some definite period not exceeding one year, which
must not be extended or renewed beyond that limit without the sanction of the Inspector-General and obtained
through the Range Deputy Inspector-General.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 51


(b) Duties of the patrol.—The duties of the patrol must be clearly and specifically laid down in district orders.
(c) Control and supervision.-Control and supervision are essential requisites of all patrols. Every patrol must,
therefore, be in some specified officer or officers" charge, whether officers in the police-stations concerned, or
officers specially deputed for the purpose. When an officer is specially deputed for the purpose, he should not
ordinarily be below the rank of Sub-Inspector. One who is young, active and keen should be selected and a
probationer should do well. If a Sub-Inspector cannot be made available, or the patrol is not sufficiently large
to justify his employment an intelligent havildar may be selected who is looking forward to promotion.
(d) Some personal responsibility for supervision must be laid down. This should ordinarily, rest with the circle
Inspector, who must be required to examine the actual working of the patrol on the spot at frequent intervals.
Its working must also be examined at the time of inspection by all inspecting officers, and surprise visits
should be paid periodically by the Superintendent and his Gazetted staff. The Inspector's own responsibility
must be enforced through his personal diaries as well as through inspections.
(e) Employment of armed constables. Armed constables should not be employed as patrols singly or in parties of
less than six men without the special sanction of the Inspector-General. For example in a crime centre, a
section consisting of 1 Havildar. 1 Naik and 1 Lance Naik and 9 constables may conveniently be split up in
three sections of 1—3 of which two sections should go out for effective patrols in different directions under
an assistant Sub-Inspector and one section should be kept as reserve after patrolling on two consecutive nights.
In order to keep their movement’s secret, gummed slips for each date should be given by circle inspectors
which on being opened just before going on patrol should give the names of villages which are to be patrolled
on that night. The remaining slips should not be opened before the due dates.
Very light pistols should also be given to such armed patrols. When prior information about any plan to
commit dacoity is received, each member of the攐patrol party should be briefed beforehand as to how they shall
intercept the dacoits. A close study of the ground should be made to manoeuvre movements of force with
jungle Boots so that there is no noise. The smoking of a biri or a cigarette in a dark night may give out the
location of police party and must not be resorted to. In the alternative the house owner who is to be attacked
should be secretly taken in confidence and police party should be in ambush at a suitable place.
(f) Diaries.—Mufassil diaries must be prescribed for all officers specially deputed to have charge of patrols. Of
these diaries one copy should go to the police station, and one copy to the circle inspector direct.
(g) Checks.—some simple system of check must be prescribed for patrols dispatched on a definite beat, such as
an exchange of tickets, or entries in station diaries or certificates from panchayats or respectable residents of the
arrival and departure of patrols from one station, post or village to another.
(h) Employment of constables.—Constables must not be sent on roving commissions nor upon any duty without a
command certificate or written order defining the same.
(i) Reliefs.—If constables are specially deputed to furnish a patrol, they must be changed at intervals not exceeding
three months to prevent their becoming stale.
(j) Accommodation and pay- When officers or men are specially deputed for patrol duty care must be taken to see
that proper accommodation is provided, and arrangements made for the punctual remittance of their pay.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 52


II. SPECIAL RULES FOR GANG PATROLS.
(a) Object of gang patrols. —A gang patrol must not be regarded as a permanent institution; its justification is that it
takes over temporarily the duties of patrols, enquiry with a view to placing under surveillance, and surveillance
itself which the police in scattered police-stations cannot equally well combine to carry out. It is a special
concentration of force for a temporary purpose, and after it has been a year at work its function should ordinarily
have been performed that is to say. the Superintendent should be in a position to know which members of the
gang need continued surveillance and which are comparatively harmless, having prevented all from relapsing
into crime meanwhile. The gang should then be made over to the normal police-station staff for either gang or
ordinary surveillance.
(b) Force.—The force should be proportioned to the size of the gang. As patrol parties must ordinarily be
accompanied by the officer-in-charge {See below) and may be reinforced within their villages by the chaukidars
concerned, only so many constables need be employed as will suffice to make the patrol respected, as well as
to provide for casualties and miscellaneous duties.
(c) Patrolling.—The officer-in-charge must himself go on rounds with the patrol. He must have no definite programme
which can be anticipated by the members of the gang under surveillance, but should take his party out at irregular
but frequent intervals, so as to visit each member of the gang on an average once a week, and the leaders more
often. He must proceed at different hours of the day and night hut must make as many night rounds as may be
practicable. He should sometimes return on his tracks to ascertain if a gang member found at home has left after
the patrol party has passed. He should constantly change his route and the order in which he visits the member of
the gang. Incidentally he must make it his business to ascertain in each village whether chaukidars are alert and
go on rounds. In order to test this effectually he should give no warning that he is coming, and should go first to
the chaukidar ‘s house.

(d) When a gang member is found absent, the officer-in-charge should leave a constable or chaukidar at his house
to ascertain his movements upon his return for subsequent verification.
(e) Registers and records.—the following registers and records should ordinarily be prescribed for the officer-in-
charge.
(i) Mufassil diaries, of which one copy should be forwarded daily to the police-station concerned and one
to the circle inspector.
(ii) Enquiry note sheets for all members of the gang entered in the register.
(iii) An attendance register for all members of the gang whether under surveillance or not.
(iv) Enquiry slips.
(f) Different gangs under patrol. —It follows from the rule that such patrols should be under an officer of the rank of
Sub-Inspector, whenever practicable, that the number employed at any one time in a district must be limited. A
patrol force once constituted need not, however, be exclusively employed upon one gang. It may divide its time
between two or three gangs needing special surveillance, spending a month or two with each. In the interval, when
the special patrol is absent, the duty of surveillance will rest with the police-station concerned.
(g) General rules applicable.—The general rules regarding the period of employment, orders defining the duties
of patrols, control and supervision, employment of constables, reliefs and accommodation and pay [rules (a) to
(d) (h) to (j). Part I of B] apply also to gang patrols, and must be strictly observed.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 53


(h) Gangs in different jurisdictions.—When the members of a gang reside in more than one circle or district, the patrol
should be placed definitely, under one inspector for purposes of supervision but should be inspected by all the
Superintendents concerned.
(i) Gang supervision may be combined when necessary with road or border patrolling.
III —SPECIAL RULES FOR HAT PATROLS
(a) Ckaukidars. —Robbery on dealers and others attending hats is usually attempted .between the hours of sunset and two
hours after as they return home. Accordingly, on all roads ordinarily traversed by such persons on their way home from
hats, chaukidars should be posted, about half a mile apart, at selected posts, from sundown to two hours after sundown.
Flags should be placed at each spot where a chaukidar is posted, should there be no sufficient number of chaukidars in
the village through which the road passes to post at each flag, the services of the chaukidars of the nearest villages must
be requisitioned for the purpose. Chaukidars wi ll , of course, occupy those posts only on the hat days.
(b) On hearing a cry for help the chaukidars must immediately run up and make every effort to arrest one or more of the
offenders.
(c) Dafadars.-On hat day. the neighbouring dalfadars should be required to assemble in plain clothes at the hats, keeping
a sharp look-out for bad characters in the crowd, and also in liquor and toddy shops. They will also see that the chaukidars
are at their respective posts in good time.
(d) Control and supervision. Officers-in-charge of police-stations must pay surprise visits and must frequently depute
their staff to see that dafadars and chaukidars carry out their instructions. The officer-in-charge should be held
responsible for any slackness in the execution of hat patrol orders in his jurisdiction, and the inspector in his circle.
(e) It should be clearly and repeatedly impressed upon dafadars and chaukidars that neglect of duty in respect of hat patrols

w i l l be considered a serious offence for which suitable punishments will be inflicted, such as tine of Re 1 for the first
offence, a tine of a month's pay for the second, dismissal for the third. On the other hand, any dafadar or chaukidar who
succeeds in arresting a dacoit or robber, or in inflicting such wound upon him as to be the means of his identification
should be most liberallv rewarded.
(0 Hal patrol register.—At police-stations where hat patrols are prescribed, a hat patrol register should be maintained
showing :—
(i) The hats requiring patrols.
(ii) The roads traversed by dealers and others attending each hat.
(iii) The flag-posts on each of the roads.
(iv) The names of dafadars to be required to attend each hat.
(v) The names and residences of cloth and other dealers of importance, with the names of the hats they respectively
frequent and the distances of their home from such hats.
N.B.— The rules contained in Parts II and II I of B are suggestions adaptable to the varying circumstances of local conditions rather
than hard and fast rules.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 54


APPENDIX 9
PART 1—RULES FOR CONTROL OF TRAFFIC.
(RULES 141 AND 1294)
1. Police on duty at traffic points are to regulate the flow of vehicles, assist pedestrians and generally to carry out such
duties as are necessary to prevent danger, facilitate progress of transport and to enforce the provisions of the law.
2. Traffic duty constables must be thoroughly cognisant of the provision of the Motor Vehicles Act and Rules, Municipal
byelaws. Section 34 of the Police Act, and all Local Orders and Rules relating to public, thoroughfares and places.
3. With a view to assisting and directing the public as far as possible, they must make themselves acquainted with all
roads, layout of the town and all public places, such as railway stations, post and, telegraph offices, law Courts, hotels,
inspection bungalows and the residences of the principal residents of the station.
4. They must, under no circumstances whatever, allow themselves to be provoked into losing control of their temper, and
shall not enter into argument with persons whom they are obliged, in the course of their duty, to hold up for offending the law
or rules made thereunder (see clause 2). They should be made to realise that to the road users, a traffic police man becomes a
representative of Government, particularly to the foreign visitors who are specially entitled to be treated with the utmost
Courtesy and politeness.
5. The\ shall carry out their duty without discrimination of the person or the class of vehicle concerned. Slow-moving
vehicles such as bullock carts must, however, give way to faster traffic and be required to keep close to the side of the road to
allow faster vehicles to pass without violating the speed limit fixed there. At the same time heavily laden vehicles shall not
be stopped unless absolutely necessary, especially if the point is approached by a gradient.
6. When vehicular traffic is held up it must be stopped so that pedestrians wishing to cross the road do so in front of the

constable, and where a marked crossing is provided, across that crossing. When a vehicle, especially a motor vehicle, is to be
stopped, sufficient warning must be given to the driver to prevent his having to stop up suddenly, as this is liable to lead to
accidents.
7. Vehicles stopping for any purpose must do so close to the side of the road and shall be required to move on as soon as
possible. They shall not be allowed to remain or be detained at cross-roads or corners. When it is necessary to detain a vehicle
for an infringement of the law or for taking the name and address of the owner or driver or for u..; other purpose, it should be
taken to a sufficient distance to remove all risk of a block in the flow of traffic.
8. Pedestrians shall be required to keep to the footpaths where these are provided. Where there are no footpaths or pavements
they must keep close to the side of the road and out of the way of vehicular traffic. They shall not be allowed to congregate
unnecessarily at cross-roads or corners.
9. All vehicles, including bicycles, ridden horse, rickshaws, etc.. are required to keep to the left of the road, a vehicle
overtaking another vehicle must pass it on its right hand side and a vehicle wishing to turn about must turn round to the right.
Special attention shall be paid to the rule at corners. Cutting into the right when turning a corner to the right or taking a wide
sweep when turning to the left must be rigorously prevented. Where a white line or other mark exists in the surface of the road,
vehicular traffic must be made to keep to the left of it whether there is other traffic on the road or not.
10. (a) Fast moving vehicles shall be required to slow down when passing elephants or restive horses or other
animals.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 55


(b) Constables must not seize the bridles of horses, except to prevent an accident or arrest an offender.
11. Traffic police shall arrange for the removal of all obstructions, stray animals, etc. on the roads, which are likely to
interfere with traffic.
In no circumstance, traffic constables, at the time of duty shall talk to anyone else except that concerning duty (see Rule
1061). At suitable places, arrangements should be made for providing them shelter from sun. Wind and rain.
12. Constables on traffic control duty shall stand in those places from which they can most efficiently control the traffic,
and from which they can be seen by drivers from all roads converging on the point. Diagrams 1 to 3 show the places at which
they should ordinarily take their stand at tri-junction and cross-roads.
Diagram No. 1 (a)


13. Diagram 1(a) shows a road leading into a main road, but not crossing it. The junction of both the roads is called *T
junction. In such a case the position of traffic constable on point duty shall be the centre of "T" junction which is marked "A*
in the diagram. The face of the constable shall be towards the main road. If one extra constable is provided he shall take his
position just behind the traffic constable facing opposite direction.
Diagram No. 1(b)

In some special circumstances the point duty constable may take his position as shown in diagram 1(b). In such case if
one extra constable is posted he may take his position on the opposite side of the road at the left hand corner.
If two or more extra constables are posted in addition to traffic constable on point duty, their positions will be determined
according to the needs of the situation and they will only help in enforcing the signals of traffic constable on point duty.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 56


Diagram No. 2

14. (a) Diagram 2 shows ordinary cross-roads where traffic is not heavy, controlled by a single constable. His position
must invariably be in the middle of the cross-roads (Point A). It is not possible for him to control traffic efficiently or to be
seen by drivers approaching from along all four roads, if he stands, for instance, at point B in the diagram.
(b) In the diagram traffic crossing towards the junction along roads X. XI, has been held up. This is done by means of
signal in diagram 6. Traffic is open in both direction along roads Y Yl and as described in paragraph 16, infiltration to the left,
along X Y and XI Yl is permitted Infiltration should not be allowed except when the width of the street or rounded corners
enable vehicles to join the passing stream of traffic without difficulty.
Diagram No. 3

15. (a) If one extra constable is posted in addition to point duty constable he shall take his position just behind the point
duty constable facing towards opposite direction as is shown in diagram No. 3.
(b) If two extra constables are posted to help the constable on point duty, one w i l l take his position as described in sub-
clause (a, and the other will move forward and help in carrying on the vehicles approaching on the signal in a systematic order.
(c) At very wide cross-roads or where the traffic is very heavy or when special conditions require it, four constables may
be posted to control traffic. In such a case their position will be determined according to the needs of the situation.

16. When one stream of traffic at a cross-road has been halted, constables should as far as may be safe and practicable
permit drivers who wish to do so. to turn to the left and so filter into the cross stream of moving traffic.
17. Constables on traffic control will perform duty without any fire-arm. If necessary, detachment of constable or
constables armed with pistol, bhala and other arms can be kept for his assistance.
18. When the road is straight and traffic is heavy the detachment of two constables should be on patrolling duty and for
them, boundaries should be fixed so that they can keep control on movements, etc.
19. Traffic constables need not blow their whistles uselessly. A whistle should be blown only when a vehicle is to be
ordered to stop.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3)


PART II.—TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND SIGNS

20. Signals to be used by constables in regulating traffic shall be as follows:-


"STOP" SIGNALS
Diagram No. 4
No. (i) To stop vehicle approaching from the front, extend the right hand in
full length, with the palm of the hand towards the driver of the vehicle.
Where two vehicles are approaching by converging roads, and only one is to
be halted, the constable should face towards the driver of the vehicle to be halted to
show clearly that the signal is intended for him.
Diagram No. 5

No. (ii) To halt a vehicle approaching from behind, extend the left arm and hand
horizontally from the shoulder with the back of the hand towards the driver of the
vehicle as given in Diagrams No. 5.
Note.—(a) Signal No. (i)may be given with the left hand, and signal No. (ii) with the right
hand, if circumstances so require; but the method described should be
adhered to as far as possible.
Note— (b) When halting a vehicle approaching from behind the constable must see
that the signal is observed and obeyed by the driver before turning his back to
the traffic or a serious accident may result.
Diagram No. 6

No. (iii) To halt vehicles approaching simultaneously from front and behind,
extend both arms as described in signal Nos. (i) and (ii). Such vehicles
should stop behind the fixed line. Generally such lines should be drawn
on the road otherwise danger of collision of vehicles can remain.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 58


Diagram No. 7
No. (iv) On giving such a signal by swinging arms, those vehicles
which had earlier the permission to go on the road, will have to stop. After
that, the constable would turn towards another side of the cross-road and
give stop signal which is diagram No. 6 so that the flow of traffic would
begin on the other road.

"RELEASE" SIGNALS

No. (v) To bring on a vehicle carry the arm forward with a circular sweep across the body until it almost
touches the opposite shoulder. The signal should be made with the arm extended and not merely with the forearm
or hand; and arm should be on a level with the shoulder throughout the motion. This signal should be used in all
cases except where No. (vi) applies.
Diagram No. 10

No. (vi) To bring on vehicle which has been halted by signal in diagram No. 4,
beckon the driver with the hand nearest to the vehicle. In this sequence the palm
of the hand will turn towards back and calling signal will be given by
swinging the hand. The arm will be extended in full length. If necessary, turn
slightly towards the driver to show clearly that the signal is intended for him.

21. Signals to be used by drivers of vehicles are given by the lights in motor vehicles. If these are given by hand by
drivers their forms would be as follows :—
Diagram No. 11 (a) Diagram No. 11 (b)

"I am going to stop". In this sequence the elbow of right "I am going to turn to the right". In this sequence the
hand is to be taken out straight upwards and the palm will be signal is to be given after taking out the right hand and this
towards front. sequence will start from 25 to 30 feet before the cross-roads.

Diagram No. 11 (c) Diagram No. 11 (d)

"*I am going to slow down". In this sequence, the right "Come past me on my right". In this sequence, after taking
hand is to be taken out and the palm being lowered. will be out the right hand and keeping the palm in front, signal is to be
swinging three-four times up and down. given for going ahead and at the time of doing this, the speed
of own vehicle is to be lessened and kept close towards left
until the following vehicle is passed.

Diagram No. 11(e)

"I am going to turn to the left." rotated in In this sequence, the palm of hand is to be
the anti-clockwise direction.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 60


22.Generally, vehicle going on straight road can be allowed to turn towards its left at the cross-roads at the _ where
marks for it are given on the road. This signal will he located only on that place where the road is sufficiently wide
and for this purpose, separate lanes can be marked on the surface of the road. See Diagram No. 12.
Diagram No. 12.

23. Where there is a broken line marked on the road, one vehicle can go ahead of another after crossing that line.
Where the line is not broken, this cannot be done. This has been made explicit with Diagram Nos. 13 (a) and 1 3 (b). In
Diagram No. 13 (a), the line is not broken and therefore, as is shown in the diagram "'going ahead is prohibited", but where
there is a broken line, as is shown in Diagram No. 13(b). "it is not prohibited to go ahead".

24. As a matter of fact, automatic electric signals are more convenient than hand signals. In that case, .police will be
required only on the sides of roads who will with the help of electric signals, keep control on stopped vehicles. But if there
is only one constable on the cross-road, he will after standing in the centre, keep control on those who violate the electric
signals. There will be no need to post a constable in addition to this.
Such signals will give green, yellow and red lights. If there is any indication for direction in green lights. vehicles will
be allowed to go only in that direction. If there is no such indication in green lights, vehicles will be allowed to go on all
directions. By this method, the number of constables can be reduced in Traffic control.

Diagram No. 14.

25. Signals should be given with the help of lights provided in the vehicles. Where "left hand drive' has been provided in
the vehicles, their drivers should not give signals with hands and the words "Left Hand Drive" should be noted on the back of
the vehicles also so that there is no confusion.
PARI" III. - PARKING OF VEHICLES.
26. With regard to parking of vehicles, no special rule can be laid down because it relates to number of local vehicles and
availability of parking ground. However the arrangements to park vehicles should be done on important roads at fixed places which
should be marked. This place should be such that there is no obstruction in How of traffic and vehicles can be parked
conveniently.
As far as possible there should be arrangements for parking vehicles of the same sort at one place. As marked in the
Diagram No. 1 5 below, there should be provision for parking vehicles on both sides of the road and/or in the centre where space
is available. There should be so much of road that vehicles can cross each other. In this way there should be wide mark between
every two traffic lines.
In parking lane, permission should be given take vehicles away from one side only. There should be one passage for
entrance and another for exit.
At every place where vehicles are parked, additional Police Force should be provided and there should be sign posts which
should be fixed at a proper place.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 63


APPENDIX 11

NOTE REGARDING THE NATURE OF EVIDENCE REQUIRED IN CASES UNDER SECTION 110,
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE
(RULES 185 AND 404)
1. Admissibility of evidence.—Enquiries under Chapter VIII of the Cr.P.C, are governed by the ordinary rules of
evidence. The evidence which is inadmissible under the Evidence Act cannot be admitted in proceedings under Section 117.
Cr.P.C. [12 A.L.G. 937 (1914)].
2. Residence.—(a) Section 110 does not require that the person proceeded against should reside or live within the
local limits of Magistrate's jurisdiction. Mere voluntary or temporary presence within the Magistrate's jurisdiction at the
time of initiation of proceeding is sufficient for this purpose [36 Madras 96, 44 Cr.L.J. 82 Nagpur].
(b) Conversely, if a resident within the limits of the Magistrate's jurisdiction is, in fact, not present within such
jurisdiction at the time of initiation of proceedings the Magistrate cannot proceed against him merely on the ground that he
has a residence in his jurisdiction or had been present in his jurisdiction in the past [A.I.R. 1943 Nagpur 88(90)].
3. Joint trial.—(a) The names of two or more persons can be included in a single report for initiating proceedings against
them provided the evidence against each of them, either oral or documentary, is similar for which a joint
trial can be held.
(b) A joint trial of two or more persons is permissible only when there is a prima facie accusation of joint activity,
concert or association for the purpose of committing the offences mentioned in Section 110, Cr. PC. [Jharna Mian versus
State, 1959 Cr.L.J. 639 (Pat.)]. Unless this circumstance is proved by clear evidence, a joint trial is illegal [Slate versus
Banwari, 52 Cr. L.J. 889 All].

(c) In a joint trial confessions made by any of the accused can be taken into consideration along with other evidence
against other accused mentioned in the confession under clause 5 of Section 117, Cr.P.C. (1934 All. 927).
4. Method of proving habit.—(a) Under the first six clauses of Section 110, Cr. PC. it is necessary to show that the
person against whom proceedings are instituted is a habitual offender in regard to specified crimes.
(b) Habit is made up of an aggregate of acts. The word "habit" means persistence in doing an act, a fact which is capable
of proof by adducing evidence of the commission of a number of similar acts. One case may not be sufficient, perhaps not
even two but a number of similar incidents with some interval of time interposed between them cease to be isolated facts
[A.I.R. 1933 Patna 189].
(c) "Habitually" must be taken to mean repeatedly or persistently (25 Cr.L.J. 60 and Bhubaneshwar, 6 Patna). When the
question is whether a man is a habitual cheat, the fact that he belongs to an organisation formed for the purpose of habitually
cheating in concert is relevant under Section 11 of Evidence Act [14 C.W.N. 49 (1909)]. The most obvious method of proving
habit is therefore by citing specific instances of the acts of robber}', housebreaking, theft, mischief, extortion, cheating, etc.
and proving these by direct proof or by the testimony of the persons against whom such acts were committed, or by the
testimony of persons who witnessed these acts, or, if the person proceeded against has been convicted for those acts, by
proof of such convictions.
(d) Evidence of acts of misconduct committed years before the proceeding is admissible as indicating the formation of
habit in such case but such evidence, unless supplemented by evidence of renewed misconduct committed by such person
within a year or before the institution of the proceedings cannot justify an order for security for good behaviour. The man
might have genuinely been suspected at a remote date but that does not necessarily mean that he is behaving in the same
fashion at the present moment. It is prudent, therefore, to collect evidence of recent suspicion in cases under Section 110,

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 64


Cr.P.C. whenever possible (38 Cal. 156).
5. General Repute.—(a) Habit may also be proved by evidence of general repute. "Reputation" means what is thought
of a person by others that is the general credit which a man has obtained in the community (Woodroffe's Law of Evidence, 11th
Edn., Page 1184).
(b) Evidence that there are rumours to the effect that the person proceeded against has committed various crimes, or is
a man of bad character, is not evidence of bad repute under this section but is hearsay evidence of particular facts [Rai Isri
Prasad, 23 Cal. 621.28 Cr. L.J. 502 (All)], which no doubt go to form the basis of a general reputation, but at the same time tend
to show that the reputation is. as it were, in a fluid state and has not yet crystallised into a settled reputation either good or
bad.
(c) There is well-marked distinction between reputation and rumour though it may be difficult to say generally where a
rumour ends and reputation begins. How many instances of rumour build up a reputation and how long it takes for rumours to
ripen into reputation cannot be laid down by any hard and fast rule (1933 Pat. 189). Mere suspicion of complicity in this or
that case is not evidence of general repute; but when independent evidence of the accused's reputation has been given, evidence
that he has been suspected in a number of instances may be admissible as corroboration of evidence of general repute against
him [24 Cr. L.J. 608 (1923)].
(d) It is possible for a man to have a fair reputation but he may not really have a good character, although men of really
good character are not likely to have bad reputation. Hearsay evidence amounts to evidence of repute and is admissible to prove
a charge under Section 110, Cr.P.C. It should be evidence of respectable persons who are acquainted with the accused and
live, in the neighbourhood and are aware of his reputation. It is not necessary that the witnesses who speak to the general
reputation of a person must be residents of the same place and that they should have personal knowledge about it. Even a
stranger could find out what the general repute of a person is and he is competent to testify to that effect (43 Cr.L.J. 398).

(e) The test of the admissibility of evidence of general最


opinion is whether it shows the general reputation of the accused
and is the opinion of a considerable number of persons. It must not merely be the repetition of what certain persons have said
to the witnesses [43 Mad 450; 38 M.L.J. 97 (1920) Cr. L.J. XXV and 985-986 of 1924]. When the only evidence against a
person sought to be hound down is evidence of general repute, that repute must be proved to be universal and beyond all doubt
(Masti Khan, 32 P.R., Cr.J. 2 of 1897).
(f) The grounds upon which a bad reputation is based should be carefully examined, as it is open to the defence in cross-
examination to assail these. Thus, if numerous witnesses affirm that the person proceeded against is universally suspected of
being a thief, this is good evidence against him under the section. If in cross-examination they say that the reason for his being
universally suspected is because he lives above his means or absents himself under suspicious circumstances, or was seen in the
vicinity of the commission of crimes, the evidence is strengthened; but if they give as the only reason the fact that the Police were
seen to search his house on several occasions, or that the Police frequently made enquiries about his character, then the evidence
of general bad repute is worth very little.
(g) Where, in consequence of a series of dakaitis having taken place in certain villages, a proceeding under this section
was instituted against a person for being a dakait by habit, it was held that the evidence of general reputation coming from the
people of the villages where dakaitis had taken place might be treated as evidence of general repute against him although he
did not live amongst those people (Chintaman Singh, 35 Cal. 243).
6. Evidence of association.—Evidence of association with proved bad characters is evidence of reputation, but evidence
of association with reputed bad characters is not (Nepal Shikari, 13 C.W.N. 318). The reputation of one man is formed on the
basis of his association with another bad man. If the reputation of other man be not established first as a bad man. it becomes
difficult to draw any inference with regard to the reputation of the man associating with that other man.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 65


Thus evidence of association with bad characters who were always suspected of being concerned in dakaitis and many
of whom were, during the period of association, bound down under this section or convicted of dakaiti or theft at various
time, such association being for the most part, shortly before and near the place of occurrence of a dakaiti. was held to be
sufficient basis for an order under this section (Chintaman Singh, 35 Cal.. 243).
7. Previous conviction.—A previous conviction is relevant evidence of bad character under Section 54 of the Evidence
Act, but it has been held (Nepal Shikari. 13 CW.N. 318) that previous convictions are not substantive evidence in proceedings
under this section although they may have an effect in deciding for what length or time the person is to be bound down. This
ruling is based on the analogy of the rule contained in Section 236 of the Code of Criminal Procedure according to which the
consideration is that the person sought to be bound down having already suffered previous conviction for certain acts should
not be liable for them. The general presumption is that his punishment had a reformatory effect on his character and therefore,
previous conviction is no proof of subse quent bad character and accordingly unless there are indications to prove the indulgence
of the habit, subsequent to the last term of imprisonment, the presumption is rather in favour of the reformation of the character
thereby.
Whenever proof of previous conviction is required, whether under Section 75 Indian Penal Code or Chapter VIII of
Criminal Procedure Code such previous convictions must be proved strictly in accordance with law [Rule 319 (f)] and unless
so proved, no Court can take them into consideration [43 Cal. 1128 (1916)].
8. 'Locus poenitentioe'.—(a) Proceedings should not be taken against a person under this section shortly after his
release from jail or shortly after the termination of a period for which he was previously bound down (Ranjit. 28 All 306;
Hossain Ahmed Khan, 9. C.W.N.. 34). for. in so much as the object of Penal law is reformative as well as punitive, a criminal
is entitled to a 'locus poenitentioe'. The same principle was held to apply in a case where contemplated proceedings were
dropped on the basis of a guarantee, given by the party as to his future
conduct (Case of Rajendra Narayan Singh).
(b) Cases in which proceedings should not he instituted.—When
쩀 a person has been tried for a definite charge under the
Penal Code and acquitted—the evidence against him being disbelieved—he ought not to be proceeded against under tins
section on the same materials (Ismat Akender. 11 C.W.N. 29; Alap Pramanik. 11 C.W.N.. 413).
(c) When previous proceedings ended in an order of discharge the accused must be regarded as starting with a clean
sheet from the date of his discharge and fresh proceedings should only be initiated in respect of acts or conduct subsequent
to that date (22 C.W.N. 60 N., 1918).
9. Report for proceedings.—(a) Proceedings may be instituted on information from any source and the Magistrate
who institutes the proceedings is not bound to reveal the source of his information; it is sufficient if the substance of the
information is stated. The prosecution also is not bound at the initial stage to name the witnesses who will support the case by
their evidence. These principles were definitely laid down by Mukharji. J, in the case of Rajendra Narayan Singh. The result of
that case, however, shows the danger of omitting from the report particulars of the specific evidence of the species of habitual
misconduct in consequence of which security is demanded.
(b) The terms conviction and acquittal are inapplicable to orders under Section 110, Criminal Procedure Code. An
order setting aside an order to furnish security for good behaviour is not appealable under Section 370, Criminal Procedure
Code (Cr.L.J. Vol. 29, page 92 of Jan. 1928).
10. Desperate character.—A man held to be of desperate and dangerous character must be shown to have had such a
reckless disregard of the safety of the person and the property of his neighbours that his being at large would be detrimenta
to the community [16 A.L.J. 1776 (1918)].

APPENDIX 11 A
INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING ACCIDENTS TO STEAM VESSELS AND COUNTRY BOATS.
(RULE 103 AND CLAUSE 64 OF APPENDIX 101)
The following instructions have been approved by the Government of Bihar for the investigation of casualties to inland
steam vessels and country boats, and Magistrates and Police Officers of Government of Bihar should take action according to
these rules :—
1. When a report is made by the master of an inland steam vessel under Section 32 of the Inland Steam Vessels Act, 1917.
to the officer-in-charge of a police-station—

(a) such officer shall reduce the report to writing and shall at the same time record the statement of the injured
party (if any), if available;
(b) if the place of occurrence be within the local limits of any other police-station, such officer shall forthwith
inform the officer-in-charge of that police-station;
(c) a copy of the report and the statement ( i f any) shall forthwith be submitted to the Sub-divisional Magistrate.
2. When the officer-in-charge of a police-station receives information relating to the commission of an offence under
Sections 280. 302, 304, 336, 337 or 338 of the Indian Penal Code by the master of an inland steam vessel,—
(a) if he has reason to believe, either on information received under instruction 1 (b) or on other grounds, that a report
has been made by the master of the inland steam vessel concerned to the officer-in- charge of some ether
police-station under Section 32 of the Inland Steam Vessels Act, 1917—

(i) he shall reduce the information to writing and shall take steps to secure the names and addresses of witnesses
and to safeguard any property produced; and shall send a copy of such information and of any evidence
collected to the officer-in-charge of such police-station;
(ii) he shall also submit a copy of the information forthwith to the Sub-divisional Magistrate;

(b) if he has not reason to believe that such a report has been made, he shall proceed to investigate the case under
Chapter 14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
3. Where (a) a report of a shipping casualty, whether- falling under Section 32 of the Inland Steam Vessels Act or under
Sections 280. 302, 304, 336, 337 or 338 of the Indian Penal Code, or (b) a complaint with respect to a shipping casualty under
any of the aforesaid sections is made, the Magistrate to whom such a report is submitted or before whom such complaint is made
should submit the case to Government through the District Magistrate, who should record his recommendation and opinion as
to the necessity or desirability of directing that an enquiry be made under Section 53 of the Inland Steam Vessels Act.
If the reports received from the master of the vessel or the police or the examination of the complainant are not sufficient
to establish the facts of the case, the Magistrate should make a preliminary inquiry, /which should be of such a searching
character as to make the report drawn up thereon a sufficiently full and clear statement to enable Government to determine
whether it is necessary or expedient to order a formal investigation under Section 33 of the Inland Steam Vessels Act. This inquiry
is purely informal and for the purpose only of enabling Government to decide whether action under Section 33 of the Inland
Steam Vessels Act should be taken; proceedings under the

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 67


Code of Criminal Procedure for the prosecution of any offence which may come to light are not affected by the
inquiry or by the orders issued by Government on the report submitted.

All reports, submitted under these instructions should be accompanied by copies of any evidence that has been
recorded.

4. Under Section 34 of the Act, such an investigating Court can hold enquiry on the allegations against any
Master. Engineer or an engineer driver regarding his inefficiency or misconduct.

5. Copies of all reports of official enquiries into shipping casualties on inland water received from the local
officers will be submitted by the Local Government to the Government of India, Department of Commerce, for
inclusion in the Register of Wrecks maintained by the Government of India.

APPENDIX 12
RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS WITH REGARD TO GANG CASES
(RULES 189 AND 198)
I. POLICE REPORTS
In drawing up reports in gang cases special attention should be paid to the following points:—
(a) How the case originated.
(b) Names of members of the gang throwing light on the doings of the gang in the shape of confessions or
admissions, with a brief account of the cases thus brought to light.
(c) Brief accounts of cases which ended in conviction of members of the gang.
(d) Brief notes of all cases traced to the gang.
(e) Specific instances of association and simultaneous absence from home of members of the gang
coincident with occurrence of theft, robbery or dacoity traced to the gang.
(f) All instances of conviction in a body.
(g) The place of general association.
(h) The period during which the gang worked.
(i) Fluctuation of crime with the presence or disappearance of members of the gang.
II.POINTS TO BE PROVED
Though no exact rules can be prescribed for the investigation of gang cases, as each case has its peculiar
features, the following general instructions are laid down for the guidance of police officers in such cases.
Evidence on the following points must always be obtained if possible:—
(i) Evidence of the existence of a gang for the purpose of committing dacoity, robbery or theft during the
time specified in the charges (established by proof of facts as contemplated in Section 10 of the Indian
Evidence Act).
(ii) Evidence of the association of the suspected persons for the purpose of committing dacoities or thefts.
(iii) Evidence of relationship by blood or marriage amongst the members of the gang and also if working
together, l i vi n g together at one place.
(iv) Evidence in corroboration of the approver's statement on material points as contemplated in Section
114(b) of the Indian Evidence Act and verified by a Magistrate.
(v) Evidence of confession of co-accused previously recorded at different times and places (vide Sections
30 and 114 of the Evidence Act). These should be verified by a Magistrate under the rules in force for the
purpose.
(vi) Evidence of specific cases of dacoities and thefts committed by the gang.
( vi i ) Evidence of the recovery of property stolen in dacoities and thefts or suspicious property found in
possession of the accused.
( vi i i ) Evidence of simultaneous absence from their homes in batches or singly of known members of the gang
coincident with the occurrences of dacoities and thefts in the neighbourhood.
(ix) Evidence of any increase or decrease in the number of dacoities or thefts coincident with the presence
or absence of the members of the gang.
(x) Evidence of the cessation of dacoities and thefts in the affected area after the arrest of the members.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 69


(xi) Evidence of the habitual commission of dacoities or thefts to be proved by an aggregate of acts.
(xii) Evidence of changes of residence to avoid suspicion.
(xiii) Proof of previous convictions for dacoities and thefts (the former alone can be proved in a case under Section 400.
I.P.C. but convictions under Sections 379, 380, 457, etc., I.P.C, can be proved on a charge under Section 400 or 401, I.P.C.
to establish the habits of individuals or the association of the members).
(xiv) Proof of orders under Section 110(a). (b), (c), Cr.P.C requiring any of the accused persons to give security for
his good behaviour, to prove that the person is a habitual thief.
(xv) Proof of orders for security for good behaviour when two or more of the accused have been bound over in one
proceeding under Sections 110(a), (b) and (c), Cr.P.C, as evidence of association [Vide Section 116(4). Cr.P.C].
(xvi) Documentary evidence in the shape of relevant entries in enquiry slips, in the surveillance register, the
domiciliary visit report and other registers which are required by order of the Inspector-General to be maintained at a
Police-station or outs-post. This evidence would probably be admissible, under Section 35 of the Evidence Act, but if not.
might be used under Section 159 of that Act to refresh memory.
(xvii)Evidence of arrests in batches of the members for any offence, will prove their association.
III.EVIDENCE OF CONSPIRACY
Persons who agree to join together to commit dacoities, robbery and theft are, since the parsing of Act VIII of 1913,
guilty of criminal conspiracy under the new Sections 120-A and 120-B, I.P.C, so that the provisions of Section 10 of
the Evidence Act can be applied to cases under Sections 400 and 401, I.P.C. Previous convictions of dacoity are
admissible in a case under Section 400 and of theft under Section 401, I.P.C, under explanation 2, Section 14 of the
Evidence Act. (Emperor versus Nam Kumar Patnaik, I.C.W.N., page 146), and according to certain authorities
evidence, of bad character under Section 54 is relevant in cases under Sections 400, 401 and 412, I.P.C. (Mayne's
Criminal Law of India, third edition, page 1016). Much of the evidence enumerated above under the different heads

will be admissible under Section 11 of the Evidence Act.
IV. NAMING OF GANG CASES
Gang cases shall be named after the chief approver, if there be one, and if there is not after the principal leader of the gang
in the case. If the gang consists entirely of a recognised caste, the name of the caste should be added in brackets. Each
case will be allotted a consecutive number by the Criminal Investigation Department on receipt of the police report, and
the name of the district in brackets will follow the number and thereafter the calendar year will also be noted e.g.
Khairdin gang case No. 4 (Dhanbad) 1955. Gang cases shall be described by this system in all correspondence, notes
and reports.
V. REGISTRATION OF THE CASE
It should be noted that before submission of Final Forms in different oases, the gang case should be instituted so that the
accused persons are remanded in gang case before they are possibly discharged in these cases.
VI. SAMPLE POLICE REPORT
(a) The gang referred to in this report owes its existence to bordering areas of Dhanbad and Asansol. One Khairdin @
KJiairoo Sah @ Panna Khaira @ Seikh Ilmu, s/o Roshan Lai Sah @ Mia, of Darde, PS. Beas, district Amritsar (Punjab),
who was a veteran criminal of outstanding notoriety having been convicted in a gang case under Section 400. I.P.C.
in 1944 at Asansol, took up his residence under the shelter of one Sufaid Thikedar, who was a petty contractor at
Pariharpore Colliery in Jamuria, P.-S., district Burdwan in West Bengal after his release from jail on the 15th of May.
1950. The position of Sufaid Thikedar made it easy for him to collect money from labourers around him to carry out
his notorious activities which later developed into a full-fledged gang for committing dacoitios. Sufaid. thus, with the
aid of the veteran lieutenant Khairdin formed a gang in 1950. The gang really commenced its operation after the middle

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 70


of June, 1950. Soon after, Fouja lsai. Dalip Singh, Lalchand Khatry, Gumbhir Goala, Puran Singh, Bijli Singh, Mohen
Singh, Nazir Singh and others joined this gang as days rolled by. In the year 1950 this gang committed one burglary
and three dacoities at V. Mijra, P.-S. Baraboni; V. Banbishnupore, P.-S. Asansol; Pariharpore Colliery in P.-S. Jamuria
and V. Faridpore, P.-S. Baraboni respectively, all in West Bengal. These places were selected for the first lap of their
operation presumably because the area was close to the place of the residences of the gang-members. As days went on,
Khairdin by virtue of his experience and sturdiness rose to prominence in the gang and the leadership fell on his
shoulders. This gang, therefore, merits to be styled as KHAIRDIN-S GANG.

(b) The career of this gang in the subsequent years from 1951 to October, 1953 is rather chequered as it has been marked
with unabated vigour and energy. In the year 1951 the gang grew larger in dimensions by further recruitments and launched
its operations in the coalfield areas of Asansol Subdivision and committed five dacoities of which three were in police-
station Baraboni, one in Jamuria in West Bengal, and one in Jamtara in Santhal Parganas -district in Bihar, on the borders
of West Bengal. The year 1952 really assumed a menacing position when the gang committed as many as seven dacoities
and one burglary, scattered within the police-stations of Asansol and Jamuria in Asansol Subdivision in West Bengal,
Naturia in Manbhum district and Madbupore in Santhal Parganas district in Bihar. The dacoity of Madhupore P.-S. Vide
case No. 20 dated the 20th May, 1952 under Section 395, I.P.C. (Santhal Parganas SR No. 138/52) gave an inkling about
this gang to the police, who succeeded in arresting Khairdin, who falsely gave out his names as Khairoo Shah,
Pannakhaira and Seikh Ilmu. Laldin and Jan Mohamud had figured as leaders in a previous gang formed by them in
Asansol Subdivision and had been granted pardon, being approvers in a Gang Case under Section 400, I.P.C. at Asansol
in 1950. Their presence and participation, after they were released from jail in 1952, enriched this gang considerably. In
the case of Madhupore P.-S., the gang suffered its temporary setback as three of its members (Gajwa, Jugla and Chutia)
were convicted, but the leaders Khairdin, Laldin, Gama. Taro Khan, Sadagi and Tara Singh, who remained in custody
for about nine months, were either discharged or acquitted 栀
in March, 1953. During the period when these stalwarts were
in jail, their able lieutenant Nazir Singh assumed temporary leadership of the gang, and resumed activities, but kept it
confined exclusively to Asansol Subdivision in West Bengal. With the rejoining of Khairdin and others in the gang after
their release from the jail, it became revitalised and worked with renewed vigour and energy in 1953 when the gang
committed no less than 16 dacoities within police-stations Ondal, Hirapore, Kulti, Jamuria, Baraboni and Asansol in West
Bengal, and Neturia in Manbhuin district, Chirkunda in Dhanbad Subdivision, Narainpur and Madhupore in Santhal
Parganas District, and Giridih and Bengabad in Hazaribagh District in Bihar. The last case of the year 1953, which is
Bengabad P.S. case No. 10, dated the 15th October 1953 under Section 395 I.P.C. (Hazaribagh SR No. 176/53) brought
nemesis to the gang when its leader Khairdin and the stalwarts like Jan Mohamad @ Gama, and Abdul Rashid Bari,
were caught almost redhanded by the villagers after a hot chase, and considerable portion of the stolen properties were
also recovered from them. Their arrests were followed by those of several other members also. Enquiries held into this
case unfolded the true picture of the gang, as Khairdin made a confession relating to 24 cases of dacoity and 2 cases of
burglary, committed within the districts of Burdwan in West Bengal and Manbhum, Santhal Parganas, Hazaribagh and
Dhanbad Subdivision in Bihar. His confession was followed by one more confession made by Nazir Singh, which related
to 13 cases of dacoity and 1 of burglary, all committed in West Bengal in the district of Burdwan, of which 6 are common
to those confessed to by Khairdin. Both these confessions, indeed, have revealed the whole organisation and are of vital
importance from the point of view of criminal administration, as these have disclosed the existence of the Gang which
was responsible for as many as 31 dacoities and two burglaries, of which 11 cases of dacoities are of Bihar, and the
remaining 22 of West Bengal. A chart of criminality showing the cases confessed to and persons concerned in them together
with recovery of properties is appended herewith.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 71


(c) Location of the gang. —Although the gang had no permanent fixed location, they temporarily selected
Sripore in Jamuria police-station and Mithani in Kulti police-station (both in Asansol Subdivision) whenever occasion
demanded the same. Frequent change of headquarters was all the more necessary with a view to avoiding suspicion, for
instance when their activities reached serious proportions in Jamuria Police-Station, they shifted their headquarters
to Mithani to escape attention from Police in 1951. As a course of expediency they created several sub-stations at
Lachhipore. Pariharpore. Giridih and other places from which they operated in different areas.
(d) Watching the incidence, it is noticed that whenever there has been an outbreak in a specific area the Gang
departed from that place with a view to avoiding suspicions and arrest, as there has always been a temporary lull in that
area. "Evidences of most independent and disinterested witnesses are forthcoming in support of this fact. Besides
this, voluminous evidence is available to prove both general and specific association of the different members at
different places, both before and after the commission of each crime. The batch arrest of three persons in connection
with Bengabad P.S. case No. 10, dated the 15th October. 1953, and further batch arrests of 2 more members in that
very case and of 4 in Giridih Mofussil P.S. case Nos. 9 and 10, dated the 6th October. 1953 under Section 395.I.P.C,
are glaring instances of such criminal association.
The following members were arrested in batches:—
(1) Leader Khairdin, (2) Jan Mohamad @ Gama and (3) Abdul Rashid Bari. on the night of 13th/14th October, 1953
in Bengabad P.S. case No. 10, dated the 15th October, 1953 under Section 395 I.P.C. redhanded on being chased; (4)
Bijli Singh and (5) Ramkhelawan Goala, on17th February. 1954 at Narsmunda in Asansol in Bengabad P.S. case No.
10, dated the 15th October. 1953 under Section 395; (6) Bikrama Gossain aud (7) Ramchandra Singh @ Polo Singh,

(i) Modus Operandi.—Breaking open the doors or scaling over the wallfor effecting entrance,
threat of use of fire-arms and actually using; the same in some cases, selecting midnight for the
dacoities, using improvised handles for their weapons by cutting bamboos from the
neighbourhood, were the characteristic features amongst others in the methods adopted by this
gang for committing the dacoities.
(j) This is an Inter-State gang consisting of men from Punjab. U.P.. Bihar and West Bengal and mostly
they are homeless people of different castes and communities. They were taking shelter as labourers
in this industrial belt on the borders of the two States of West Bengal and Bihar.
(k) As the organisation of this gang could not be broken by their prosecution in specific cases, and as
there are sufficient materials for the prosecution of 29 members mentioned in the chart under
Section 400,1.PC, I strongly urge that sanction for the institution of a case under this Section against
the members named in column 1 of the chart attached may kindly be accorded.
(1) The draft FIR, and the opinion of the Public Prosecutor, Dhanbad are also enclosed.

APPENDIX 13
SOME SALIENT POINTS FROM CHAPTER VIII OF THE CONSULAR MANUAL OF MINISTRY
OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS REGARDING PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED IN OBTAINING
THE ARREST OF AN OFFENDER WHO HAS ESCAPED TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
(RULE 229)
1. The return of a fugitive criminal to India may ordinarily be obtained from a foreign country only under an
extradition treaty/arrangement with that country and only if that treaty/arrangement recognises the offence, with
which the fugitive criminal is charged or which he is convicted as an extradition offence. The authorities of a
foreign country with which India has no such extradition treaty/arrangement may surrender a criminal as an act of
international comity according to the laws of its own country.
2. Extradition from India and foreign countries is done under the Extradition Act (34 of 1962) whose extracts
are given in clause 26 of Appendix 101. A list of extradition treaties between India and foreign countries is available
with Government, However a list of notification issued in this regard is given in the Annexure. Information about
persons whose extradition is sought may also be sent.to National Crime Bureaux in Criminal Bureau of Investigation
in the form meant for an "International Criminal Wanted" for taking up with "INTER POL" as indicated in Appendix
95.
3. Definition of an Extradition Crime, - ( a ) The extradition of criminals from or to foreign countries is done
only in offences given in the second Schedule of the Extradition Act subject to any special treaty or local law of
that country. Offences of a political character are however specially excluded from Extradition Acts. Whether a crime is
of political character or not has to be decided by the authorities of the country from which extradition is sought.
(b) The first step is to obtain an ordinary warrant of arrest from a Magistrate of the first class issued under
Sections 70 and 72, Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 bearing the seal of the Court and full designation of the
Magistrate. Extradition can only be claimed for the offence mentioned in the warrant. If it is granted, the accused
on being surrendered to India, can be tried only on that charge. He cannot be tried for any other offence, not
included in Extradition Crime and committed before surrender unless he is first sent back, or is given the opportunity
of returning to the country from which he has been extradited.
(c) Surrender by a country of its own nationals.- In many countries. Governments are precluded by the terms
of their own laws and the relevant treaty from granting the extradition of their own nationals; in other countries.
Governments have an option of surrendering at discretion their own nationals. Some countries however extradite
their nationals as well as nationals of a third country. The Indian Law does not put any restriction on the extradition
of its own nationals.
(d) Evidence must be carefully recorded without delay by a Magistrate of the first class of proof that the
offender whose description should be given has actually absconded. Thereafter, the evidence in regard to the
commission of the offence should be recorded. All documents received in evidence including photograph, if any,
must be put in as exhibit and each exhibit should be numbered. The Magistrate should also record his opinion that
(a) the offence falls within Extradition Crime, (b) a prima facie case of such an offence has been committed, the
Act and the section being cited.
4. (a) The form in which evidence should be presented to Foreign Government is usually indicated in the rules
to be made under the Extradition Act subject to special treaty, if any. However, a complete certified copy of the
record of evidence and exhibits must be prepared and sealed and sent to Government of India for sending to
Foreign Service Officers at Mission/Post abroad with the address of the criminal in the country where his/her

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 77


extradition is sought. If the exhibits are length), copies of only the material portions need be prepared. Official
certificates of, or judicial documents stating the fact, of. a conviction, or any other fact must be in original, and the
purport must be signed by the proper officer.
(b) Where there is a risk that before a formal demand can be lodged, the fugitive criminal will escape from the
place where he is thought to be. instructions will be sent by the Government of India by telegram to Foreign Service
Officers to apply to the appropriate authorities in the foreign country for the arrest of the Fugitive Criminal on a
provisional basis. Usually a period varying from 14 to 60 days from the date of arrest within which the formal demand
must be lodged is fixed in treaties providing for provisional arrest. In that case at least the description of absconder
for identification, his nationality, details of warrant issued, his supposed whereabouts for purposes of tracing him,
description, date and place of offence and the probable date by which the papers required for extradition are supposed
to be ready should be given.
(c) When it is desired that a fugitive criminal should be watched. Foreign Service Officers may be instructed
to apply to the authorities concerned to have the fugitive criminal watched by the Police pending further instructions.
5. (a) Whenever extradition of an offender is agreed to by the Foreign Court, the Mission concerned should
intimate telegraphically the decision of the Court direct to the State Government concerned in India under intimation
to the Ministry of External Affairs and an escort has to be sent at once to bring the offender, if no appeal is filed.
The following detailed information is usually required by the Foreign authorities regarding escort beforehand:—
(1) Full name(s) of the party comprising the escort.
(2) Parentage.
(3) Date and place of birth.
(4) Rank(s).
(5) Marks of identification.
(6) Passport number (s).

PART T

The Army/Navy/Air Force
Civil offences committed by persons subject to Military Law.

Civil offences which a Court-martial is debarred from trying under the provision of Section 70, Army Act,
section 78(2), Navy Act and Section 72, Air Force Act of 1950.
2. The following should preferably be tried by Civil Court (except on active service, etc):—
(a) Civil offences (which may also lie military offences, e.g. thefts, frauds), committed in conjunction
with persons not subject to military law;
(b) Civil offences not suitable for trial by Court-martial on account of the special nature of the case (e.g.
complicated frauds) or on account of difficult legal technicalities being involved; and
(c) Civil offences in which military interests are not directly involved (e.g. burglary in a civil establishment).

PART II
INITIATION OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN CIVIL COURTS
(a) Criminal proceedings against persons Subject to military law may be initiated by—
(i) The police on the complaint of private individual or on arrest by them for a cognisable offence.
(ii) The military authorities on a report to the police, or to a Magistrate that a civil offence has been
committed.
(iii) A Magistrate taking cognizance suo motu, or on the complaint of a private individual.—
In cases falling under (i) and (iii) the military authorities may decline to interfere with the course of the civil
law; may claim the licensed for trial, or, if the offender is already in custody, order trial, by Court-
martial, if the accused is legally liable thereto.
In cases falling under (ii), it will be open to the military authorities to bring the accused before a Court-
martial if the complaint is wrongly dismissed or the accused is wrongly discharged by the Civil Court
and if such dismissal or discharge does not amount to an acquittal; or the accused is acquitted by the
Civil Court but is liable on the same alleged facts to be tried for a purely military offence for which he
could not have been tried by the Civil Court.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 79


During the investigation stage, the military authorities may intervene with the concurrence of the police
and Magistrate, and claim the accused for trial by Court-martiai. See also Government of India,
Ministry of Home Affairs notification No. SRO 709, dated the 17th April, 1952.
If the case is one that must or should be tried by Civil Court, it should be handed over to the civil authorities
at the earliest possible stage.
(b) Criminal proceedings against persons not subject to military law must be initiated in accordance with the
provision of the Code of Criminal Procedure; by a report to the police or a complaint to a Magistrate.
This rule must not be interpreted as forbidding or discouraging close and personal cooperation between
military and civil officials which is essential in matters involving the discipline and welfare of the Army.

APPENDIX 15
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING AN INDEX IN HINDI
(RULE 320)
1. In making an index, the name proper should be placed first instead of the surname. For example, in Ram Krishna Sharma
it should not be written as Sharma. Ram Krishna but only as Ram Krishna Sharma. Similarly, prevalent titles Sheikh. Chaudhary.
etc. Shall also be written at the end of a name, e.g., ""Maulvi Fakruddin" shall be entered as "Fakruddin Maulvi" in the Index.

2. There are multiple methods of spelling names in Hindi, for example जनदन is sometimes written as बज ृ नदन,
ब रजनदन etc. but there is no difference in the procedure for making entry in the Index on account of this multiplicity. Therefore,
the name should be entered in that very form in which it is narrated by the person whose name is to be entered, for example,
वसुनी राम should be written as वसुनी राम and not as वणु राम in this way. if some writes आशष as आशीश, his name shall be
entered as आशीश.

3. When any person has been convicted in two or more different pseudonym or aliases, its entry shall be done in the page
for pseudonym and alias apart from the entry in the index of main name. For example if a criminal commits crime in the name
of Mohan Singh, Habib Mian. Bahadur Lai, etc... His name shall be entered in the pages meant for entry of each name. Mohan.
Habib and Bahadur and their cross reference shall be indicated as such. It means that each name shall be written with all names
and aliases at all the places.

4. At the time of making an entry, the first two letters (वण) shall be taken up for consideration and not the whole word or
the part of a word or its initials. For example, in the name of राम कृण शमा, the group formation shall be based on 'र’ and ‘म’ and
not on रा and कृ.While determining these two letters if the first letter is a vowel, it shall be considered as one, but the vowel
attached with a consonant shall always be ignored, for example in अकबर the first two letters shall be ‘अ’ and ‘क’, but in मानवे",.
it shall be 'म’ and ‘न’ and not 'म’ and the vowel आ attached with it. In this way in 'उमे$वर’, the first two letters shall be ‘उ’ and ‘म’
and in ‘रामे$वर’. it shall be 'र’ and 'म’ and in आनीता, it shall be 'अ’ and न’.

At the time of making entry of a name, first of all the first letter shall be taken and no consideration shall be
made of vowel sign attached with it, for example कबीर, &कशोर, कुणाल, केशव,कौशक shall all be entered in only
........ group. In this way XXIV main groups are formed, which are shown in the vertical columns in the chart.

After this, the second letter of a name shall be taken for consideration, for example in अ*नल after the first letter ‘अ’ the
second letter ‘न’ shall be taken, and in ‘मोहन’ after the first letter ‘म’, the second letter ‘अ’ shall be taken up. This second letter
shall form sub-group. In this way. (xv) Sub-groups have been formed which are shown in the horizontal col. in the chart.

Now on the basis of these first two letters, the group formation of any name shall be determined and entries shall be made
in the pages allotted in a register containing 330 pages, for example the group formation of मानवे" कुमार shall be 'म’ [XX] and
‘न’ [(viii)] and its entry shall be in the page allotted in serials 226-227 in the chart. In this way. at the time of making entry of अशोक
नारायण मेहता. the first two letters ‘अ-श’ [I., (xiv)] will determine the formation of group and entry will be made on page Nos. 22-23
allotted for it. The group formation of गणेश गोप shall be ’ग-ण’ [IV (viii)] and entry shall be made on page serials 53-54.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 84


5. (a) If in the beginning of a name, there arc joint consonants, the group shall be determined
by taking each consonant separately, for example :—

in 0यो*त कुमार ... by ‘ज-य’


in 2वारका नाथ वमा ...
by ‘द-व’
in 0वाला साहू ...

by ‘ज-व’
in 5यारे लाल ....
by ‘प-य’
in 6ेम कुमार ...
in 6ी*त कुमार7 ... by ‘प-र’

In names like, कृपानाथ and म8ृ यज


ुं य also, the consonant is joined with 'ऋ' by and these shall ‘प-र’
be entered in ‘ह-ऋ’ ’क-ऋ’ and ‘म-ऋ’, etc., groups, i.e., on page 317, 37 and. 231
respectively.

(b) Where the second letter is a joint consonant, the only first consonant of joint letter shall
determine the subgroup, for example the group of वैघनाथ shall be 'व—द, and not ‘व—य'. In this way,
'र—त' shall be in र8नाकर, ‘अ—ख' in अ>तर, and 'व-ष’ in वणु and 'ध-र’ in धमनाथ.

6. All the nasals (i.e.,ङ, ञ, ण, न, and म) irrespective of their written form, when joint with a
consonant shall be considered अनB
ु वार, and shall not he counted. For example मCडन मE, whether
written as मंडन मE or मCडन मE shall be entered in group 'म-ड' and not ‘म-न’. In this way शंकर
संह, मंजर7 6साद, नदन महतो, शFभु शरण shall be entered respectively in ‘श-क’, ‘म-ज’, ‘न-द’,
‘श-भ’ sub-groups. In this way, च" बद ु shall not be taken for consideration.

7.In Hindi, the letters of alphabet are grouped in the following, sequence :—
(1) Vowels— अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ए ऐ ओ औ
(2) क group— क ख ग घ ङ
(3) च group— च छ ज झ ञ
(4) ट group— ट ठ ड ढ ण
(5) त group— तथदधन
(6) प group— पफबभम
(7) अतBथ- यर लव
(8) ऊम- श ष स

In addition to this, there are following sounds- Z, [, \, ड़, ढ़

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 85


For the sake of convenience, the above letters have been divided in the following XXIV main groups which
are also called initial letter groups, with the serial number of vertical columns indicated against them :—
I. All vowels (excluding .ऋ.)
II. क
III. ख
IV. ग\
v. घ
VI. च
VII. छ Z
VIII. ज य
IX. झ
X. टठडढ
XI. त
XII. थ
XIII. द
XIV. ध
XV. न
XVI. प
XVII. फ
XVIII. ब व
XIX. भ 馐

XX. म
XXI. रऋ
XXII. ल
XXIII. शषस
XXIV. ह

All vowels have been kept in one group excluding ऋ. The pronunciation of ऋ being similar to ‘ र’ in Hindi, this
has been placed in ’र’ group. Hence, ऋ ष कुमार shall be placed in 'ऋ.-ष’ group [XXI, (xiv)] and its entry shall be done on
page 268.
In the same way, 'Z' has been grouped with ‘छ' and '\' has been grouped with ‘ग’ due to similarity in sound although
these are respectively derivatives of क् +ष and ज ्+ञ ्.
In this way, though there is difference in pronunciation in Hindi between य and ज and between व and ब, these
have been kept in one group on account of practical convenience because someone writes यमुना ठाकुर and some
जमुना ठाकुर. Many write वैघनाथ for वैघनाथ. Therefore, there will be increase in number of groups and dislocation of
virtually identical names if these are kept in separate groups. On account of similarity in sound, ‘श’, ‘ष’ arid, ‘स’
have been kept in the same group.
No name begins with ङ, ञ, ण, ड़, ढ़ in Hindi. Hence, these are not enumerated in any group. As only a few names
begin with ट ठ ड ढ, all the four letters have been in the same group.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 86


8. By the same method, fifteen (xv) sub-groups have been formed as noted below:—
(i) क ख
(ii) ग \ घ
(iii) च छ
(iv) ज झ
(v) ट ठ ड ढ ढ़
(vi) त थ
(vii) द ध
(viii) न ण
(ix) प फ
(x) ब व भ
(xi) म
(xii) य र ऋ ड़
(xiii) ल
(xiv) श ष स
(xv) ह
In determining the groups, vowels find place only in the initial group, and are absent in sub-group. Bui if in any name,
there is a full vowel after the initial letter then the next consonant will determine the sub-group. For example सादत is sometimes
written as सआदत, but the sub-group shall be 'स-द’ and not ‘स-आ’.
But if in any name there is no consonant after the initial letter group, it will be entered in sub-group 'य' Yet the name will
be written as given by the person concerned. For example ‘झ-य’ will be the group of झउआ, but it shall be written as ' झउआ’.
9. ङ and ञ are not found in combination with a vowel in any name. It has therefore been considered as
अनB
ु वार, and as अनB
ु वार is not counted in group-formation, theseᘐtwo letters are not kept in sub-group.
Due to similarity in sound, ढ़ has been grouped with ढ, but in Bihar, the pronunciation of ड़ being similar to र, this has
been grouped with र, though the sound of ड़ has been developed from ड़ Similarly here, there being not much difference in
pronunciation of ‘न’ and ,’ण’, these have been kept together in the same group.
10. In this way. the index to names has been prepared on the basis of the above rules and in a register of 330 pages,
allotment of pages has been made for each Group. A detailed survey was made as to how many pages should be allotted for each
group. In the chart attached herewith, pages have been allotted for the different groups on the basis of survey of Vedic and
Mahabharat proper names, telephone directory, dictionary and many Crime Directories (Part 2) of Police-Stations. This is why on
the one hand, due to paucity of names beginning with letters like ‘ध’, ‘झ’ ‘घ’ only two pages have been allotted for entire
groups, on the other hand 20 pages have been allotted for initial letter group ‘र’ and sub-group 'म' because during course of
survey it was found that a large number of names begin with राम.
11. Where more than one page have been allotted to any group, entries shall begin from the first page and the next page
will be taken up only when that page is exhausted, for example two pages 224-225 have been allotted for sub-group म-द, but
entries will begin from page number 224 and when that page is filled up, then page 225 will begin. When the allotted pages are
exhausted, further entries of the group will be carried over to any of the 10 blank pages at the end.
12. In this way, the key to a book of 330 pages in brief is as follows :—
In the name which is to be entered, take first two letters for determining the group. The first letter in vertical column
shall be the main group and the second consonant shall be the sub-group, and then from the chart given, find out the pages
and make entry.

covered and the room closed.
(c) Foot-prints on walls should be covered with paper but the paper should not come in contact with the
foot-print.
(d) If the chance prints are at such a place where it is exposed to be destroyed by wind or rain, they should
be covered with such a pot that water does not enter into it. To protect the rain water from entering
into the covering, a drain should be made around it. A diagram of the foot-print should also be prepared
indicating the directions and other details and signatures of two independent witnesses should also be
taken. A guard should be deputed to see that the chance prints are not disturbed till they are recorded.
5. Methods of recording foot-prints.—The methods of recording foot-prints should be determined according
to their nature and location. Generally, there are following three methods of recording them :—
(a) Photography.
(b) Tracing.
(c) Casting.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 109


6. All kinds of foot-prints should he photographed first of all because these may be destroyed while preparing
casts. While taking photography, the plane of the lens of the camera should lie parallel to the plane of the surface
of the foot-prints so that a distorted view may not appear in the photograph. It is also necessary to keep a graduated
inch tape by the side of the chance print. This measurement is necessary with a view to preparing photo enlargements
of actual size. The informations required in para. 17(a), should be noted on a piece of paper and placed by the
side
of the foot-print before taking -photograph.
7. Tracing.—It is necessary to be cautious in copying the outlines by tracing. A glass or cellulloid plate of
11"
x 6" should be mounted on a small frame and placed above the foot-print in such a way that neither the frame nor
the glass may come in contact with it. The outlines of the foot-print should be drawn with a tracing coloured pencil
on the glass. The eyes should be just above the point of the pencil and at perpendicular because it is the eyes which
draw the outlines of the foot-print. After tracing the outlines on the glass, it should be traced on paper and the
informations required in para 17 should he noted thereon. If a glass or cellulloid plate is not available, transparent
paper may be used.
8. Procedure for preparing casts.—Casts should be prepared to record sunken footprints. The following
things may be used for preparing casts : —
(1) Plaster of Paris.
(2) Wax.
(3) Resin.
(4) Sulphur.
传◌֓
(5) Polters clay.
Preparing casts with Plaster of Paris is the best and simplest method.
9. The materials required for an average cast are a Kilogram of fresh Plaster of Paris, some thin flat strips
about 3 or 4 inches wide of tin, wood or cardboard, a metal vessel capable of holding a kilogram and a half of water
and some grease such as ghee or thick oil. Earthenware vessels must be avoided unless the inner surface is enamelled
or strongly glazed. Plaster of Paris is a fine powder which is easily affected by the atmosphere and must he kept
in the airtight tins in which it is supplied and these should never be opened except at the place where a cast is to
be taken and then only foi the few seconds necessary for extracting the amount of the powder required.
10. Before detailing the actual procedure, it is necessary to point out at once the prepared plaster is poured
over a print the print is completely destroyed, and so unless the officer is confident that he can obtain a good cast,
he should not attempt the operation, but send a telegram or wireless for someone who can do so or who can take
a good drawing of the print. It is in fact always advisable to have a tracing made. It is also an advisable preliminary
to prepare a small quantity of the plaster to see if it sets properly as it is not as a rule possible to say whether the
plaster has deteriorated or not by any other means.
11. Having brought the material to the spot of foot-print and secured the attendance of witnesses to the
operation, who if possible should be those who had signed the map vide para. 4 (d), the covering and barrier
erected as detailed in para 4(d) should be carefully removed A fresh barrier of the strips of tin, wood or cardboard
should be placed round the foot-print forming a rectangular container for the plaster. The container should be
banked up outside with wet earth; clay for preference, in such a way that water would not easily escape through
it. The barrier should leave about half an inch margin round the two sides and the toe end of the print at about two

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 110


inches at the heel end. The inner surface of the strips should be well greased with ghee or oil before being put in
position.

12. Sometimes it is necessary to prepare the ground, before a cast is prepared, specially when the foot-print is
on fine dry sand, dust or on any soft surface. For this, spreading a thin film of shellac may be useful because shellac
hardens quickly and it enables very soft surface to take the load "of the plaster. A flit sprayer may be used to spray
the shellac. Shellac should be dissolved in spirit and the mixture should be sprayed over the surface of the foot
print by flit pump or a good sprayer at such a distance that the shellac mixture falls on the surface of the foot-punt
like a soft-cloud and may not damage the foot-print by spoiling its characteristics. When the shellac layer dries and
hardens after a few minutes, taicum powder should be lightly sprayed over it. After that a thin mixture of the plaster
of pans in small quantity should be poured over it so that a thin layer may be formed on the foot-print. After this the
container should be filled with the thicker mixture of the plaster of paris.
Sometimes it may be useful to spread a small quantity of oil over the shellac layer. After giving the treatment
noted above, cast should be prepared.
13. Casts of foot-prints on sand may be prepared from melted paraffin wax. Water may be sprayed over the
sand in such a way that it becomes fully wet. A trough should be prepared around the foot-print, the lowest level of
which should he higher at least by an inch from the highest level of the foot-print. After that, a drain should be
prepared leading to the foot-print from which the melted paraffin wax may enter into the foot-print evenly in such
a way that no characteristics are destroyed. Before pouring the paraffin, the trough and the drain should also be
made wet by spraying water. A barrier of card-board should be erected around the foot-print so that paraffin does
not leak out. Paraffin should be cooled in a container after melting it. While cooling, it should be continuously
stirred till one can bear the temperature by putting his finger
传◌in
֓ it. The thickness of the cast should be about one and
half inch.
14. Having fixed up the container as detailed in para 11, the plaster will be prepared. The quantity required
will depend on the size and depth of the print of the barrier. A print in dust or a cement or hard floor will obviously
require very much less than one in loose mud. For the average print with a barrier 13" x 6", a kilogram (nett weight)
of powder will be required. For deep prints as much as two kilograms will be necessary. It is always, however,
better to have too much than too little as a thick cast is less liable to break. The solution should be prepared in a
vessel made of metal or enamel in the proportion of 3 parts of water to 4 parts of the powder. The powder should
be poured from the top after keeping water in the vessel, stirring the mixture briskly and continuously until it
shows signs of thickening. This is the most critical stage of the operation. The consistency required is that of
cream. If it is used too thin, the excess moisture will be absorbed by the ground and the eventual cast will be brittle.
When the foot-print is in clay soil or on a hard substance the mixture may and as a rule should be poured in before
it thickens, as there is little chance of the water in it being absorbed and a thin mixture gives better definition. If it
is allowed to get too thick, the plaster will stick to the vessel and will not run over the print. Immediately it reaches
the correct consistency the mixture must be carefully poured into the mould at the heel end, at which two inches
space has been allowed, taking care that the actual spot where the mixture meets the ground is outside the print.
The mixture will run evenly over the print and in about fifteen minutes will have set. It must be left to harden for
at least half an hour, much longer if the atmosphere is humid. When the cast is felt warm it ma}' be considered
proper to lift it.
15. While pouring the plaster, it should he seen that the cast has been moulded uniformly of thickness of about
l/3rd of an inch and then three or four reinforcement rods, the length of which should be slightly less than that of the

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 111


print, should be placed carefully so that these may not touch the bottom of surface due to pressure. After that the
plaster should again be poured and left to harden.
16. The barrier will be removed after following the procedure given in para 14 and the cast carefully lifted off
the ground and placed with all the earth, etc. adhering to it upside down on a flat board so as to allow the under
surface to dry. Great care is essential in lifting casts. If the impression is in wand or loose stony or gravelly soil the
cast will, as a rule, come away easily, with a fair number of stones sticking to it. These can be very carefully
removed, except where these are actually embedded in the cast, in which case they must on no account be
removed. If the cast is in dry dusty soil the excess moisture will generally cake the spill all round, and it will stick
to the cast to a depth of 2 or 3 inches. In such cases, and also when the impression is in clay soil, it will be
necessary to dig up the cast carefully with all the earth sticking to it. It can then be turned upside down and the
extraneous matter carefully slowly removed. In the case of a cast taken on hard smooth surface covered with a
thin layer of fine dust as for instance on a pucca a or stone floor, the cast should be made fairly thick and left for
at least an hour. When the cast is completely dried and hardened, it should be carefully cleaned with brush or kept
under running water.
17. (a) Before the cast is completely hardened and lifted from the ground, the following particulars should
be carefully written on it:—
(1) Name of the police-station, case number, date arid section of law.
(2) Nature of the surface of the print.
(3) Location of the foot-print and its directions.
(4) Distance of the foot-print from two fixed points with directions.
(5) Signature of the officer preparing the cast.
(6) Signatures of two independent witnesses. 传◌֓
(b) The particulars required in para 11 (a) above should also be noted on tracings described in para 7, in
addition to the medium of the print, e.g., blood, colour, ink, dried dust, etc.
18. When plaster of paris is not available, casts may be prepared with wax. Wax may be melted in a pot and
poured in appropriate quantity for sufficient thickness. The wax will harden after about 15 minutes and cast will
be
ready. Before the wax completely hardens particulars given in para 17(a) should be noted on it.
19. Potter's clay may also be used for preparing casts. First of all some potter's clay should he taken and
cleaned, i.e., it should be made free from stone pieces, grass or straw. Rome water and some thick oil like mustard
oil, grease, etc. should be mixed with it to make the clay a fine paste. About 2 oz. of oil will be sufficient for one
foot-print. The paste should be slightly thicker than the consistency of the plaster of paris. When the paste is ready
some dry powder like flour, fine ash or finely powdered bricks should be sprayed over the foot-print. The clay of
the cast will not unnecessarily stick to the surface of the print due to the above treatment and the cast should not
be moved until it is completely dried. The oil in the paste prevents the possibilities of cracks in-casts.
20. When the foot-print is on flour or sand, cast may also be prepared with stearine powder. The powder
should be put in sufficient quantity into the print up to about 1 '/2 inch height. After that some metal or tin plate
should be placed above the powder so that it does not actually touch the powder. Burning coal should be placed
over the plate. After sometime the powder below the plate will melt and start entering into the sand. When the
process of melting is over, the fire and the plate should be removed and the surface should be allowed to cool. After
being cooled, the cast will be ready. Such casts are very tender and require extra care in handling.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 112


21. If the foot-print is on snow, cast will be prepared in the following manner. First some talcum powder
should be sprayed lightly over the foot-print and after that shellac should be sprayed over it. When the shellac is
still wet, talcum powder should again be sprayed over it. After repeating this process for three times, a thin skin
like layer will be formed which protects it. After the above procedure, plaster of paris cast should be prepared.
22. Casts may also be prepared after melting sulphur. This should be grinded and then melted by heating
process and while melting, it should be continuously stirred. This process should not be done quickly because in
113 that way, it attains such a consistency that it cannot be used. Sulphur melts like water at 115°C. It should be seen that
sulphur does not burn while melting because sulphur may be destroyed due to this. When all the sulphur melts, it should be
cooled after continuously stirring it until small pieces appear on the surface. It should be poured into the foot-print after stirring
finally. The sulphur which comes in contact with snow immediately hardens and therefore, it is possible to directly pour the
sulphur over the last layer of the foot-print. The cast should be above 3/4 inch thick and it should be lifted as soon as
possible.
23. If the foot-print is under water as it may be on the sea shores, plaster of paris should be directly sprayed
over the water with a gauge or sieve in order to prepare a cast. The plaster, in this way, will reach the bottom of the
foot-print and a hard layer will be formed.
24. When a foot-print is left with wet foot or foot be smeared with blood, it can be lifted on a photo film also,
the procedure of which is laid down below :—
An undeveloped circuit film of 8"x 12" size may be emerged in "hypo" and dried. When required, its sensitive
side should he made wet and waited for till it becomes sticky. Then, this photo film should be placed over the
foot-print and pressed uniformly. Lift the film after a few minutes and it will be found that the foot-print has
been printed over it. This may be used as negative传and
◌֓ as many copies as required, may be prepared out of it.
25. Identity of criminals may also be established by walking pictures when two or more impressions of both the left and
right feet are found consecutively.
26. Walking pictures are highly individual and one can identify the person who makes them in walking
because the weight of the body exerts greater pressure on the outer and rear portion of the heel and sole. The
pressure is strongest against the heel and the foremost part of the foot.
"Walking picture" means the whole ensemble of foot-prints left by the walker. A detailed description of measuring
the walking picture is given in Finger and Foot-Print Manual and in the book "Foot Prints" by Mr. G.W. Gayer,
I.P.

APPENDIX 24
HINTS ON DETECTING COUNTERFEIT COINS
(RULE 167)
1. Counterfeit coins are divided into three classes :—
(a) Cast
(b) Struck
(c) Cast and struck mixed.

CAST COINS
2. The cast counterfeit coins are most numerous and easiest to detect. For preparing such coins, it is essential to have a
mould in which the molten metal is poured. The mould is made o\' fine clay and other ingredients such as finely powdered
charcoal, slate, chalk, sand, plaster of paris. porcelain and sulphur, molasses, shellac, resin, cement, gum, etc. and consists of two
halves, contained in collars made of wood, iron and clay. Into one of these the genuine coin used for the impression is usually
embedded t i l l its upper face is level with the mould, and contains therefore, one side of the impression and the milling. The
other half has the other face of the coin impressed on it but contains no portion of the milling. The two are carefully joined
together and a clay or tin funnel is attached, through which the metal is poured into grooves, one for the purpose of admitting
the metal and the other for the escape of the contained air having been cut in the collars previous to joining. When cool the coin
is extracted bybreaking up the mould and is then thoroughly cleaned., usually with tamarind juice, and the imperfections in
the milling and on the coin are touched up with a file or other instrument. From this it is clear that where there is suspicion of
preparation of counterfeit cast coins, what materials should be there.

3. Defects in a cast coin.—(1) Pitted marks or pin-holes scattered over one or both faces of the coin. These pin-holes
◌֓
are due to coarse grains in the composition of the moulds and传also due to the contraction of the metal when cooling.
(2) Minute '"beads" of metal running along the inner rim of the coin, round the lettering and interspersed through the
floral design on the reverse. These are the results of other imperfections in the mould.
(3) Marks or scratches on the coin, due to an attempt to remove defects with a sharp pointed instrument.
(4) The milling or serrations round the periphery of a genuine silver coin is invariably at right angles to the perimeter
and all the serrations are equidistant from each other and the "nits" cut right through the edge of the perimeter. In a cast coin
the serrations have to be made by hand at the point where the funnel is attached to the mould and often through failure of the
mould to give clear enough detail, along the entire perimeter of the coin. These are invariably oblique and at irregular intervals.

The "milling" is also rendered defective by the two halves of the mould not being kept closely and exactly together,
leaving a slight aperture l round the edge, which causes the metal to flow over and solidify on the periphery, defacing the serrations
by a continuous or broken ribbon of metal canning a double milling as the case may be. These defects can be readily
distinguished when the coin is turned slowly round between two genuine coins with the edge facing the examiner.

(5) The loops of letters such as in English O R P D A and in Hindi क, ग, प, and म and of figures such as 6, 8,
9 and in the legend or denomination are often completely filled in by metal.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 114


(6) A cast coin may also be irregular in thickness. This can be seen when the coin is turned round with the edge
facing the examiner.
(7) Accidental cracks in a mould will cause a line of metal to appear in relief, across the casting.
(8) Portions of the design and lettering may appear doubled due to an inadvertend lateral pressure of the
genuine coin when preparing the mould, resulting in a doubling of the design in places.

STRUCK COINS
4. To produce a "struck coin" metal dies are required. There are two ways in which dies can be prepared :—
(a) By engraving the design by hand. (If such dies are discovered the engraving instruments should be
searched for.)
(b) Two round blocks of "Kansa" metal are thoroughly faced on one side, and are put into a slow charcoal
fire. When both the blocks are red hot they are extracted and a genuine coin is placed between the two
blocks with their "faced" sides touching the coin. A smart heavy blow or pressure in a press will cause
the design to be impressed on the hot blocks of "Kansa" metal.
Having obtained the impressions of both sides of the coin the rims of the blocks are cut off till the correct
diameter of the coin is obtained. A ring of brass or steel is then prepared to fit the neck of the dies perfectly, and on
the inside of the ring "serrations" are cut with the aid of a saw or some other instrument.
To strike a coin from these dies it is necessary first传to
◌֓
make a "disc" or "blank" of the metal of which the coin
is to be struck. The disc is placed between the two dies and within the collar and is subjected to heavy pressure in
a press or given several hard blows with a heavy instrument,
5. Defects in a struck coin.—( i ) If the struck coins have been prepared from dies which have been hand
engraved the defects are numerous and often very palpable.
(a) The "pearls" (or the string of dots closely knitted together round the perimeter of a coin) are not
equidistant and regular in shape or size.
(b) The lettering in the legend is sometimes irregularly placed and not symmetrical in size.
(c) The effigy is defective.
(d) The details of the picture are crudely executed.
(e) The relief of the design is faulty.
(ii) The letterings and designs may be doubled as the result of the shifting of the dies between the blows
required to strike up the discs into a coin.
(iii) The milling is invariably defective. The ruts are either not equidistant or arc obliquely executed.
6. Other defects applicable to both struck and cast coins.—(i) The majority of counterfeit coins are
considerably lighter than genuine coins.
(ii) When rung on a stone slab or similar hard surface counterfeit coins give a dull defective ring.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 115


(iii) A dull leaden appearance would generally point to the coins being counterfeit. Some counterfeits have a
peculiar glazed appearance. Coins which feel greasy to the touch should be carefully examined.
(iv) Counterfeits made from tin or a mixture of tin and lead can be bent and if held close to the ear they will often
emit a cracking noise when bent between the fingers.
(v) Sometimes the obverse and reverse of a coin arc anachronistic. For this purpose, informations regarding the
changes in the designs of different coins should be obtained from Mint Master. Alipore from time to time. Some of
these changes are noted below : —
(a) The replica of "Lion capital of the Ashoka pillar" head" on coins in 1950. replaced the "King's
(b) From April, 1957, the metric system was introduced and Vi rupee and lA rupee coins were replaced by
"50 Naye Paise" and "25 Naye Paise" coins. In 1964. the words "Naya" and "Naye" were dropped
from the coin designs, leaving the words "Paisa" and "Paise" as the case may be. Thus, if a coin bears
the words "Naya or Naye Paise" and the calendar year is after 1964 say 1966, it is clearly counterfeit.
(c) A list of some of the legal tender coins issued since 1957 bearing the year of manufacture and main
features stamped on the coins, is given below in order of value :—

MATERIALS TO BE SEARCHED FOR.
7. During a house search the Investigating Officer may expect to find and should seize in addition to the
moulds, dies and materials from which they are made as described in paras 2 and 4, any of the following materials
and accessories :—
(a) Pieces of zinc, Kansa, tin. lead, copper and silver.
(b) Alum, saltpetre and borax used for melting the metals.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 117


MISCELLANEOUS
8. (a) A suspected coin should be compared with more than one genuine coins of the same description and should be
examined in good light preferably with a magnifying glass. It should also be weighed against genuine coins showing a similar
amount of wear, as most of the counterfeit coins are lighter than the genuine ones.
(b) The rim of a genuine coin is regularly milled with straight lines at right angles to the face. In counterfeit coins the
lines of milling are generally at a slant, the spaces between the teeth are irregular, and the lines themselves are uneven and broken.
The milling can be examined by placing the suspected coin between two good ones of the same description so that the rims of
all three are close together and can be seen at the same time. Defects can be easily found by this process.

(c) As genuine coins may be used in making ornament for which the edges are required to be touched up, no coin should
be classed as counterfeit only on account of bad milling. However, a coin with a good milling is generally not counterfeit.
9. As genuine coins are not cast, all cast coins can be considered as counterfeit.
10. A counterfeit coin will generally be found to exhibit at least two of the faults indicated earlier. Therefore, merely for
one fault a coin should not be straightway condemned as counterfeit.
11. Standard silver coins (counterfeit) are generally found either struck or cast but in quaternary Alloy and pure Nickel
coins, they are also found to have been prepared by a combination of both the processes
12. Ring Test.—(a) As stated in para 6(2) above, counterfeits, as a rule, do not produce a clear ring if made of base metal
but ring test is not a conclusive test as counterfeits occasionally ring well. Their genuine equivalent coins are sometimes
"dumb" due to small cracks or flaws in the- metal. The presence of cracks, if visible, on the edge of the coin would indicate
that the coin is genuine. 슠

Another example of failure of ring test is that of genuine coins of pure nickel which have no ring at all. Even among
other genuine coins, there is a variation in the tone of ringing as for example, in pure silver coins or those with high touch of
silver, there is clear ringing but quaternary genuine alloy coins with 50 per cent silver give higher ring.
(b) In such cases of pure nickel coins, the "dumbness" is however compensated for by their magnetic properties and a cheap
magnet can easily distinguish a counterfeit from a genuine coin.
Howeverr cupro-nickel coins (and also bronze coins) of the year 1946 and onwards, are non magnetic.

APPENDIX 25
POLICE LABORATORY
[RULES 167 AND 410 II(f)(2)]
1. The Police Laboratory is attached with the Criminal Investigation Department. Bihar. Patna. The examiners
of questioned Documents of this Laboratory undertake examination of Documents, Forged Notes, etc.. as mentioned
in detail in item (3) and furnish their expert opinion thereon which are valid in a Court of law.
2. Definitions.—
(a) 'Request writings’ mean writings or signatures written to dictation by the suspect for the purposes of
comparison with the questioned writings.
(b) 'Existing Writings’ mean the writings or signatures written in ordinary coarse of business by the
suspect when he did not know that their writings will be used for comparison with the questioned
writings.
(c) 'Standard writings' mean the, request or existing specimen writings.
3. The following are few examples of examination done in the laboratory :—
(i)(a) Restoration of effaced, obliterated and altered writings on documents.
(b) Determination of the sequence of strokes and also examination of ink lines which were drawn on the
paper either before it was folded or after it to cause fraudulent alteration.
(c) Restoration of writings effaced with chemical erasures.
(d) Detection of interpolations or overwritings on any writing and deciding whether there have been any
substitution of paper. 䱀◌֘

(ii) Typed writings are examined with a view to—


(a) Ascertaining their source.
(b) Determining their time (date) to ascertain whether or not they contain fraudulent alterations or
substituted pages.
(iii) Printed matters are examined and compared with printed script's to determine whether these have been
printed from the same matter.
(iv) Wax seals and its seal impressions and forged notes/drafts/cheques are examined by various methods
including radiation by ultraviolet light to know whether these are forged or genuine or chemically erased
:—
4. The Police-Station Officer should pay attention to following points :—
Care of documents.—Any document which is to be the subject of a Laboratory examination should be handled
with extreme care because these have to be used as exhibits at the time of evidence. In this respect it is
necessary for the thana officer to take following precautions :—
(i) Documents should be subjected to the minimum of handling and these should be saved from
exposure to damp or strong sunlight.
(ii) Documents should not be folded and unfolded unnecessarily. New folds should also not be
introduced.
P.M.-III—9

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 119


(iii) Documents should never be cut, torn or trimmed nor should adhesive be applied.
(iv) Except for round circular marks which should be applied with coloured pencils for identification, no
other mark is to be given to documents and these marks should be as limited as practicable. Any marked
change or addition which appears significant should never be made.
(v) Documents should not be punched or pinned but paper clips should be used where necessary.
(vi) Documents should never be carried in pockets where they might be affected by bodily heat or moisture
or become worn and wrinkled or soiled.
(vii) Tracings should never be made. If necessary, for record purposes, it, is better to get these .photographed
and keep their photos.
5. Submission of documents.—
(i) Documents intended for examination should be sent to the Director. Police Laboratory, Bihar, Patna, after
being properly packed and sealed in any one of the following ways :—
(a) The first method is through special messenger. This course should be adopted except when it is
going to be expensive or cause undue consumption of official time.
(b) The second method is "to send by registered post. In order that post offices may remain very
careful for the registered packet, it should be insured at least for Rs. 100 only.
(ii) Documents should never be sent by ordinary post.
(iii) Documents submitted for examination should be accompanied by a forwarding report which should clearly
局◌֘
indicate as to which of the writings are "DISPUTED" and which are "STANDARDS". The disputed writings
should be marked with coloured pencils, with clear identifying marks such as X, X1, X2, or Y, Y1, Y2, etc.
The standard writings should bear similar identifying marks such as A, Ai, Aii, B, Bi, Bii, etc. The standard
writings of one person should be marked in series of only one letter of the alphabet. If proper and necessary,
the disputed and sample documents should each be marked circular with red pencil.
(iv) The nature of the examination of the documents must clearly be indicated preferably in the form of
question.
(v) The history of the case can be narrated in brief in the report.
6. Standards for comparison.—
(i) For comparison with disputed manuscripts or typed writings, proper standards or samples must be sent.
Without suitable standards the Handwriting expert of questioned documents may be unable to express and
justify any worthwhile opinion.
(ii) As to what constitutes the most satisfactory standard, the answer is very simple. In every case the aim should
be to provide an opportunity for the Expert to compare "LIKE with LIKE". "For example, when the
'signature of a person is in dispute, the best standards consist of his genuine signature written before the
date of the disputed signature on similar documents.
The above rule is imperative when pen printing is in dispute. In such circumstances, comparison can be possible
only with sample specimens of pen printing. Generally, it is impossible to compare cursive writing with pen
printing.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 120


(iii) With regard to the amount of standards of writings or typed writings to be submitted, it must be borne
in mind that whilst no examination of documents has ever been prejudiced by too much of standard
material, the reverse has been the case if the standard writing has been less, that is there is less
possibility of getting expert opinion, if the standards are less. The reason for not giving definite
opinion by expert is either that the amount of standard materials is too less or the standard writings
are not useful. With an abundance of standard writings, an effective comparison can be possible with
disputed writing or typed writing by expert.
(iv) Generally, the Investigating Officers can submit two types of standard writings as detailed below:—
(a) Request writings.
(b) Existing writings.
(v) If the accused is willing to give specimens of his handwriting, the following procedure should be
adopted:—
(a) Examine the document and note whether the. Disputed manuscript has been written in a cursive
way, i.e., in ordinary handwriting or pen printing tip block lettering or it is a mixture of all. It
should then be made clear to the accused that he is to give specimen of the type required.
(b) Obtain specimens on paper similar to that of questioned documents and try to match the paper
with all its characteristics. If the disputed writing is not on a big sized paper then big sized paper
is never to be used. Similarly if the disputed writing is on a ruled paper, the sample writing is to
be obtained on a ruled paper. If the questioned document is on an envelop, the sample writing is
to be dictated on such envelops. If the suspected writing is on a cheque, the blank cheques are to
be supplied and accused is to be asked to write himself on it and it is to be seen as to where and
how he writes. If the questioned document is in the nature of an official form, most strenuous
efforts are to be made to obtain similar blank forms on which the accused is to be asked to write.
If blank forms cannot be obtained, endeavour should be made to get its copy prepared on a
typewriter on the paper of same size.
(c) The suspect is to be provided with writing instrument, i.e., pen/pencil similar to that used for
writing the questioned document. Where ink writing is concerned, try to match the nib width.
The ink used need not be matched as this has very little influence on the writing.
(d) Dictate the document to the suspect at a reasonable speed. On account of this, the accused shall
have to slow down his speed of writing in order to disguise his own writing. The time taken, in
writing must be carefully noted. At the time of writing, the writer is never to be shown the
subject matter of dictation.
(e) When the first dictation has been completed the writing should be removed from the sight of the
accused who should be asked to give a second specimen. The second dictation should be given
as fast as possible because if the speed is kept up and he has disguised his first specimen, he will
have difficulty in remembering the details of the disguise previously used.
(f) The procedure detailed in aforesaid paragraphs (d) and (e) should be repeated with two different
pens, preferably on two different dates. If it is to be done on the same day, the dictations should
be given at three different times in a day, each after an interval of two hours. In this way,
specimens of the writing of the suspect on six different sheets are T be obtained.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 121


(g) The age of the writer and any of his physical conditions likely to affect the writing should
be noted on each sheet. The officer, who receives the sample writing, is to attest it on each
page.
6. The following procedure should be adopted in preparing a standard specimen of typed writing:—
(a) Examine the questioned document and note—
(i) The nature of the paper, whether thin paper or thick card,
(ii) Whether the typewriter ribbon used was old or new.
(iii) Whether the typing has been done heavily or lightly.
(b) The paper similar in thickness to that of the questioned document is to be obtained, i.e., thin paper
for standards is not to be used if the questioned writings are on thick postcards.
(c) If the ribbon of the machine differs appreciably from that used for typing the questioned writing,
efforts are to be made to replace it with a ribbon similar to the one used.
(d) The copy of questioned document is to be prepared with approximately the same typing pressure
with which the questioned document has been typed.
(e) If the machine is in bad condition, several copies are to be prepared especially if the amount of
typed writing involved is not very great. This is to give the examiner an opportunity of determining
how the characters of the machine vary,
(f) If the questioned document is a carbon copy, a carbon copy of the standard together with the
original sheet is to be submitted.

7. It is found that a request writing written to dictation by a suspect is often disguised by him. Sometimes
an, innocent person also attempts to disguise his writing or makes it pictorially different from that of the
disputed writing due to false belief that the Expert will be misled. Such a standard is usually not suitable for
comparison. Therefore, the necessity of obtaining existing writings arises. These writings are found to be the
usual writing of the suspect without any attempt of disguise as the writer did not know while writing that these
writings will he used as standards for comparison with the disputed writing. It is of the utmost importance that
such writings should be capable of being proved in g Court of Law as the standard it purports to be. The usual
method of proving the existing writing of an accused is by the evidence of a person such as relation, friend,
employer and by those who are acquainted with his writings and can prove them in Court as witnesses. The
existing writings, of those persons who are witnesses in the Court can be proved by their own admissions in the
Court.

8. In obtaining existing writings, the guiding principle 'LIKE' to be compared with 'LIKE' should be borne
in mind.

(a) In case of disputed signatures on cheques, existing signature on previous cheques issued on the
same Bank and of the same period should be obtained.

(b) In case of disputed writings on rent receipts, etc., the writings on the rent receipts of the same period
should he obtained.

(c) In case of disputed writings or signatures on Money Order Vouchers existing writings or signatures on
previous similar vouchers or acknowledgements should be obtained.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 122


Only the papers bearing the existing writings should be sent and not the whole lot of attached papers.
9. The question which generally confronts Investigating Officers is as to how and from where to obtain
genuine existing writings. To a painstaking Investigating Officer this should present no difficulty.
10. The methods to obtain documents from different departments are given in Appendix 79, clause (9).
11. At present only State Criminal cases registered at Police Stations are undertaken tot examination in the
Police Laboratory but with the special permission of Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department,
examination of the following cases can also be done :—
(a) Non-State cases referred by Civil Courts in which the State is not a party.
(b) Documents connected with registration cases referred by private agencies or by persons who want
enquiry in cases even though the matter is not likely to be presented to Court.
(c) Papers connected with all these rases in (a) to (b) will be examined by the Examiners of Questioned
Documents of Police Laboratory of Bihar State on payment of fees, which shall generally be at par
with the rate given in clause 13. Half of the examination fee will go to Government and the remaining
half shall be distributed in the following way :—
Its 80 per cent shall be distributed equally among the Examiners of Questioned Documents, remaining
15 per cent among photographers and the rest 5 per cent among dl the clerks, technical officers
and store-keeper, etc., of the laboratory.
The T.A. of expert as per Bihar T.A. Rules, 1951 shall be deposited by the party concerned in Court.
12. The Chief State Examiner of Questioned Documents-cuw-Director works under the overall guidance of
the Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department and Government Examiners of Questioned
Documents should be placed under him. Besides this there will be assistants, photographers, Liaison Officer and
other staff also in the required number. The rules for appointment of Director and other staff will be similar to those
of F. P. Bureau given in clauee 2 of Appendix 22.

13. Only those questioned documents which are in English, Hindi (either in Deranagri or Kaithi script), Urdu
and Bengali are examined in the Police Laboratory. The services of the Government Examiner of Questioned
Documents, Government of India, 30, Gorachand Road, Calcutta-14 can be utilize -or examination of documents
in other languages and related scripts, but for this, a fee of Rs. 220 per case is payale I in advance through Demand

APPENDIX 26
TREATMENT OF SUSPECTED INFERNAL MACHINES
(RULE 167)
1. Legal and Procedural.—(a) The Indian Explosives Act, 1884 and the rules framed thereunder vide
Explosives Rules, 1940. Gas Cylinder Rules, 1940, the Explosive Substances Act. 1908, the Petroleum Act, 1934
and the rules framed thereunder i.e. the Petroleum Rules, 1937 and Carbide of Calcium Rules, 1937 are important
connected enactments.
(b) The restrictions on sending of explosives by post are given in clause 45(b) of Appendix 101 and for
railways, these are given in Section 59(2) of the Indian Railways Act, 1890.
(c) On the occurrence of any incident of the nature referred to in Section 8 of the Indian Explosives Act or
Section 27 of the Petroleum Act, 1934, the officer-in-charge of the police-station should immediately report full
facts to his superiors and to the Explosives Department. The Superintendent of Police should, if possible, proceed
at once to the place of occurrence. Regarding special reports, Appendix 3 is relevant and action should be taken
accordingly. A reference to the Intelligence Department Manual would also be useful. If the circumstances warrant
an examination by the Explosives Department, the place of occurrence should he guarded and kept undisturbed
except for removal of dead and injured person, etc. For identification of explosives, exploded or unexploded at a
scene of crime in which no risk is involved in their handling Forensic Science Laboratory expert may also be
consulted.
(d) According to Section 6 of Indian Explosives Act, 1884. a person is permitted to keep those explosives
which are authorised by the Central Government. A list of "authorised' explosives" was published in Government
of India notification, Part III, Section 1, dated the 5th June, 1954. vide circular of Department of Explosives, dated
the 28th May. 1954, and also published in the Annual Report of the Department of Explosives. The manufacture of
'"Crackers" i.e. any Chlorate mixture with Sulphur etc. is prohibited, vide Government of India notification No. 3/
12/65-P, Part II (IX). dated the 1st April. 1966.
(e) Detailed instructions would be found in Bureau of Police Research and Development, M.H.A., New
Delhi.,
2. Types.—Explosive substances or objects which may cause explosion are found in the following three
forms :—
(i) Liquids like Nitro-Glyceride.
(ii) Pasty Substances like Gelignite, Geletine-Dynamite, etc.
(iii) Solids like Grenades, Bombs, "Packed Bottles, Tubes, Gas Cylinders, etc.
3. Explosives and allied items are more commonly found in the following forms:—
(a) Gun Powder which is ignited easily by a flame or spark.
(b) Nitro-Glycerine explosive cartridges which are set off by detonators.
(c) Detonators.—These are small tubes made of copper or Aluminium (usually l!/2" long and l/4”n in
diameter) containing a small charge of very sensitive explosive (e.g. Mercury, Fulminate, Lead Azide).
(d) Safety fuse.—It is a slow burning gun powder wrapped up to form a flexible and water proof cable. It is
usually received in coils and is used for firing detonators or for igniting explosives like gnn powder.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 124


(e) Crackers.—A sensitive explosive mixture of Potassium Chlorate, Sulphur, Arsenic Sulphide, etc.
(f) Fire Works.—Sparklers and such items which usually contain - gun powder. These sometimes c ontain
chlorate mixture which is prohibited.
(g) Bombs.—These are made by putting chlorate mixture or gun powder inside metal shells, bottles, tins,
etc. mixed with glass pieces, iron nails, etc. and exploded by percussion caps. The appearance, materials
of construction, shape, size, explosive charge, finish and workmanship vary widely, depending on the
time and skill of the maker. A home-made bomb may look like anything from a ball of jute yarn to a
well finished service type ammunition. Bamboo tubes, cigarette tins, coconut shells, earthen shells,
metal pipes and shells of various types are used in making home-made bombs. Generally, these are
about a kilogram in weight so that these can be conveniently carried and thrown by hand. These may
be set off by the following mechanisms :—
(i) Concussion, dropping or throwing against a hard surface,
(ii) Lighting a fuse which is attached.
(iii) Chemical timing-process in which an ampule of sulphuric acid or other acid kept inside the metal shell is
crushed due to impact and the spilling of acid over the chlorate mixture which results in immediate explosion.
(iv) An electric detonator is set off by closing an Electric Circuit or an> form of current clock work timing
mechanism. Instead of an electric circuit, a safety pin may be pulled out causing explosion after a few
seconds like the hand grenades used in armed forces.

(v) The bomb is exploded by turning it on one side. It has an open phial inside kept over chlorate mixture. When the
position is disturbed, the Acid is split over the mixture causing explosion.
Service bombs have a good finish and bear markings in the form of letters, figures or monograms on the base or on
any part of the bomb.
4. The less common forms in which explosives are found are given below :—
(a) Picric Acid.—These are in forms of crystalline yellow needles made from phenol, sulphuric acid and
nitric acid. Picric acid when mixed with not less than one half of its own weight of water shall not be deemed to
be an explosive.
(b) Gun Cotton.—White in colour, and available in form of slabs or cylinders or loose like ordinary cotton
wool. These are very sensitive and easily ignited,
(c) Fulminates.—These are white grey powders used in percussion caps and detonators. These are very
highly sensitive and explode with the slightest blow, shock or friction.
(d) T.N. T—Light yellow solid, used in shell fillings, bombs and other Military ammunitions.
(e) Letter Bombs, Book Bombs.—Envelopes above 3 mm. in thickness, weighing 40 grams or more contain
charge of about 25 grams of plasticised high explosives or sheet explosives or a wad soaked in mixture of
sugar and potassium chlorate, etc.
Book bombs have sizeable holes cut into the pages, the holes being filled with explosive or a small bomb etc. There
is mechanical spring or other spring so as to cause explosion as soon as the lettter or book is opened.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 125


(f) Booby traps.—Some examples are (i) a gift parcel containing bomb with electrical firing arrangement by a
battery. This may be a cigar-box which explodes on opening, (ii) a cigarette with charged explosive topped up
with tobacco.
5. A list of equipments meant for police-station useful for testing and handling dangerous substances at site
are given below :—
(a) For suspected bombs—
(i) Strong, smooth string of well-twisted cotton yarn or plastic yarn, etc. which is approximately 3 mm. in
diameter and 30 meters long.
(ii) 2 metres long pole of bamboo or wood.
(iii) A bucket or tin can with its top open.
(iv) A sharp knife or a pair of scissors.
(b) For other explosives substances—
(i) a clean glass phial (capacity approximately 150 ml.).
(ii) a tea cup or a glass tumbler;
(iii) a stainless steel teaspoon;
(iv) an anvil (standard weight of 2 kilograms or more would do) and flat, headed hammer;
(v) a candle stick, box of safety match;
(vi) a sharp knife:
(vii) a long needle (needle for sewing office files);
(viii) strip of clean blotting paper, a post card or similar card, a sheet of newspaper.

13. Miscellaneous.—(a) Iron containers are not to be used for keeping explosives. If the suspected substance is in any
quantity, or the. floor is dusty; or if any of the substances appears to have been spilt, the boots or shoes are to be removed so that
there are no chances of explosion being caused even if anyone tramples over any explosive substance by chance. The Police
should be careful in cleaning debris as another explosion may occur in this process.
(b) In case of explosives such as Detonators or Safety fuses, these should be separately by two different
messengers on two different dates so that they do not meet together on the journey and the' packages must not get
together.
(c) When a case is instituted and examination is necessary, the sample should be sent through by special
messenger and not by Dak or any other means to the Controller of Explosives. Similar precaution is necessary
when sending exhibits to Court.
(d) Bombs when soaked in water must not be packed in glass containers but in small enamel vessels or clean
earthen pots with cotton wads inside. Soaked bombs may also be sent packed in wet straw, cotton wool or similar
packaging material. Glass stoppers need not be given in bottles as these cause friction in opening.
(e) Cinema films are; Nitrocellulose. Not more than 20 lbs. of such films can be stored without license.

examination.
18. Detailed investigation of the cause of accident.—(i)Afterthe relief and rescue work has been organised,
the senior railway officer (preferably the Divisional Superintendent himself or in his absence, the seniormost
officer present assisted by other railway officer) in conjunction with the seniormost police officer should proceed
to investigate the cause of the accident. At this stage nothing should be disturbed but a detailed examination should
be made and copious notes carefully and precisely worded should be taken down specifying all the various features
that come to notice. No attempt should be made to rush through this examination. Not such examination be left to
a junior officer.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 143


(ii) Arrangements must be made for an adequate police force to form an effective cordon round the site for controlling
the crowd and keeping all staff and outsiders away from the site who are not concerned with this examination.
19. Points to be carefully noted during detailed investigation.—The following points should be carefully
examined during detailed investigation apart from those given in clause 7 of Appendix 79 :—
(i) Wheel-marks on sleeper, rails and fittings, these should be noted on both ends of sleepers. Distance between the
corresponding marks on the opposite ends should also be noted. Where the marks are on the rail seat, speciffic
mention should be made. Thus, a complete note or wheel-marks, sleeper by sleeper in serial order, should be
made.
(ii) Damage to sleepers and fittings, etc. should be noted.
(iii) The place or places where loose fittings or parts of damaged fittings were found.
(iv) Whether coach-screws or spikes were found missing, if so, from where and what was the condition of holes on
the sleeper or sleeper from which these fittings are missing. Each sleeper involved in the accident must be
carefully examined for this purpose and a note maintained.
(v) Whether the fishing-holes in the displaced rail end or ends show any mark of violence. Some examination should
be made of loose fish-plates and bolts found at the site.
(vi) Whether any fish-plate has been found broken or bent. .
20. Special scrutiny of the first point of derailment and the first pair of derailed wheels.—(i) Apart from
the general record of derailment marks right through at the site of derailment, it is of utmost importance to lay
emphasis on the first point of derailment, that is, the point where the first pair of wheels went off the rails. This
should be specially observed and a careful record kept of derailment marks at this particular point either on the
sleepers and track or, on the top of the rail, etc. The derailment marks at the first point of derailment give valuable
clues regarding the possible cause of derailment. Hence, the ᦰemphasis
◌֮
on this point.
(ii) Similarly, the first pair of engine wheels, which derailed, would be specially examined with a view to find out if there
are any dent marks on the wheel tyre and to what extent they compare with the mark on the rail-end at the point of derailment
or wheel-marks on any other object placed on the rails to cause derailment.
21. Statement of staff and public.—Statements of running staff and any of the public who witnessed the site
in conjunction with the railway staff or otherwise, should be recorded by a responsible officer.
22. Preparation of sketches and plans.—(i) Arrangements should be made jointly with the police
representative for the preparation of sketches and rough sketches should be drawn up on the spot showing all the
measurements. These sketches should be jointly signed by the Police representative and the Railway representative
deputed by the Divisional Superintendent and an endorsement should be made by the Police representative that
'"all measurements personally checked." Before these sketches are finalised or countersigned, the Divisional
Superintendent or in his absence, the seniormost engineering officer on the spot, should personally check it up and
make sure that there is no mistake. Very good care should be taken to ensure that all the details required have been
correctly shown.
(ii) When the dimensioned plans are prepared for the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety or for judicial enquiry,
again sufficient care should be taken that everything shown in the original sketch plan has been correctly reproduced, items
which are not to scale should be noted on the plan.
(iii) Copies of notes-and the sketches given to the police should form an appendix to the statement of the Divisional
Superintendent given to the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety at his enquiry.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 144


(iv) All notes and sketches should be carefully preserved for future use in subsequent investigation, enquiries and Court
trials.
23. Arrangements for photographs.—(i) Photographs of essential features must be taken. On receipt of
advice of a serious accident, the Emergency Officer will advise the Public Relations Officer to send the Publicity Photographer
by the earliest possible train. Divisional authorities should also wire for him whenever required. If a
Photographer is not likely to arrive from Calcutta within 24 hours, local arrangements from the nearest place may
re made for taking photographs.
(ii) While photographs are being taken, a responsible railway and a police officer should accompany him and give him
the necessary directions as to the angles from which the photographs are to be taken.
(iii) In case photographers from railway as well as police are available, double photographs should be taken of the same
feature in the presence of the railway and police officers. Should the police desire to take independent photographs, this may
be done.
24. Preservation of exhibits.—All sleepers and fittings of the particular rail which are supposed to have been
displaced together with the two rails affected must not be used. The sleepers and fittings must be serially marked,
the ends of both rails at the fractured joint should be properly marked, encased and sealed under the joint-seal of
the police and the railway, and all exhibits preserved in a room under the joint seal of both parties. The Divisional
Superintendent should, in this matter, exercise his judgment and other fittings which might affect the decision with
regard to the cause of the accident might also be collected as exhibits. What has been stated above is the bare
minimum of fittings which should invariably be preserved. Wooden sleepers and other fittings must not be left
lying about lest they might suffer further damage.
25. Restoration of communications.—(i) The question of restoration of communication should be taken up
only after complete examination has been made and the joint ᦰ◌
֮ note and sketches have been prepared and the police
including Gazetted Officers of the C.I.D. and civil authorities have given out in writing that they have completed
the inspection of site and that no further check is required by them.
(ii) Restoration, however, may not be started if it is expected that the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety or the
General Manager or the Chief Engineer or the Chief Operating Superintendent is likely to reach the site within 24 hours of
the time when restoration work can be commenced.
(iii) Should it, however, be necessary in the emergency to expedite restoration without waiting for any of these officers,
telephonic instructions should be obtained from the Chief Operating Superintendent or, in his absence the Chief Engineer. In short,
Divisional Superintendent, must not undertake restoration of track in such cases unless—
(a) he has obtained permission in writing from the Senior Civil and Police authorities present, and
(b) Permission has been given by the General Manager at site or the Chief Operating Superintendent or
the Chief Engineer either at site or on phone.
Note.— This permission, however, must not be assumed. It will be realised that under those arrangements some delay is inevitable,
but. this is better than facing subsequent awkward questions and consequences.
(iv) None of the above restrictions would apply when it becomes necessary to act otherwise in order to save life.
26. Attention to the injured.—It is the primary duty of all railway servants to render prompt assistance to the
injured and arrange immediate medical aid at the site of the accident and most effective medical treatment after
their admission into hospital.
All first-aid boxes, equipments, and emergency tool-boxes in trains or at stations shall at once be rushed to the site of
accident for rendering relief to the injured and extricating passengers from the debris. In order to convey medical help to the
site of the accident, trollies may be sent out, trains may be detained and train-engines utilised.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 145


The load of a goods train may be reduced and the train ordered to run at a high speed consistent with safety or outside
conveyance may be requisitioned if necessary, through local police and Magistrate. In cases where the site of an accident is
approachable by road, medical aid may be rushed more quickly and conveniently by road than by train. Detailed road maps
should, therefore, be kept in all control offices and in railway hospitals which should also be equipped with ambulance vans in
order to rush, whenever possible, medical aid by road.
The Guard or the Station Master should ascertain if there are doctors and first aid workers amongst passengers, and they
should be requested to assist.
In cases of serious injuries, the nearest civil or military medical officials or private practitioners and ambulances must be
summoned if the Railway Medical Officer is not available earlier or unable to cope with the situation alone.
Note. — In an electrified section before sending out an electric locomotive in the affected section, full precautions must be
taken.
27. Precautions to be observed in handling injured persons.—(i) every effort must be made to extricate
injured persons from the debris. They should then be carried to the nearest open space convenient for rendering
first-aid.
(ii) It should be noted by all concerned that injured persons are not to be shifted long distances until such time as a qualified
person has rendered first-aid and immobilized the injured parts. Ordinarily injured persons should be helped to the nearest open
space away from the wreckage as removal to long distances is likely to aggravate injuries and inflict further shocks.
28. Speedy transport of injured persons to hospital stations.—After rendering first-aid, all the injured
passengers must be transported as speedily as possible to the hospital station or stations decided upon by the
District Medical Officer, preference being given to seriously injured passengers. Whenever possible, the injured
person must be accompanied by a police constable and the latter’s number and name must be noted.
29. Care and identification of dead bodies.—In the case of a serious accident, the senior most railway
officer on the spot should discuss the question of disposalᦰ◌
֮ of dead bodies with the senior most police officer at the
scene of the accident and they should jointly determine the place for keeping the dead bodies under the control of
a responsible officer. The police have to take charge of the dead bodies and they should be given the requisite
facilities for their transport to well protected places where they could be kept pending completion of formalities or
until claimed by the next of kin. It may be stressed that respect for the dead should be the primary consideration,
and. in any case, no dead body should be kept exposed to the weather.
Identification and disposal of the dead bodies should normally be the responsibility of the police authorities. Photographs
of the unidentified dead bodies may be taken by police authorities and displayed at stations and other conspicuous places.
30. Prosecution of staff.—(i) In case where it is proposed to prosecute an employee or where his prosecution
is demanded by the police or a criminal case is pending against him in a Court of law on the same charges, it is not
necessary to stay the departmental proceedings of the railways. Each case can be considered individually on its
facts and circumstances to see whether it is really necessary to stay departmental proceedings till the conclusion of
the criminal trial.
(ii) When prosecutions are initiated by the police, the Divisional Superintendent should see that all necessary assistance
is given to the police. He should, however, carefully examine the proceedings of the Enquiry Committee and also go through
the section of the Indian Railways Act under which it is proposed to institute the prosecution to see that there is a definite order
or rule which is or should be known to the accused and that the breaking of this rule or order falls under the aforesaid section
of the Indian Railways Act. A responsible official may, if necessary, be deputed to be present at the trial.
31. Magisterial and Police enquiries.—The rules regarding the conduct of magisterial and police enquiries
into railway accidents have been embodied in Annexure, which is a copy of the Railway Board's notification No.
G.S.R.-575, dated the 19th April, 1973.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 146


ANNEXURE
MAGISTERIAL, JUDICIAL AND POLICE ENQUIRIES
Extract from Railways (Notices of and Inquiries into Accidents) Rules, 1973 given in Railway Board's notification No. G.S.R.
575, dated the 19th April, 1973 and published in the Gazette of India No. 22, dated June 2,
1973, Part II, Section 3, sub-section (i).
17. Whenever an accident, such as is described in Section 83 of the Act, has occurred in the course of working
a railway, the District Magistrate, or any other Magistrate, who may be appointed in this behalf by the State
Government, may, either—
(a) himself make an inquiry into the cause which led to the accident; or
(b) Depute a subordinate Magistrate, who. if possible, should be a Magistrate of the first class, to make
such an inquiry; or
(c) direct an investigation into the causes which led to the accident, to be made by the police :
Provided that where, having regard to the nature of the accident, the Central Government has appointed a Commission
of Inquiry to inquire into it under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 (60 of 1952), or has appointed any other
authority to inquire into it and for that purpose has made all or any of the provisions of the said Act applicable
to that authority, a Magistrate or a police officer shall not make his inquiry or investigation under this rule and,
where he has already commenced his inquiry or investigation, shall not proceed further with it; and such
Magistrate or police officer shall hand over the evidence, records or other documents in his possession relating
to the inquiry or investigation to such authority as may be specified by the Central Government in this behalf.
18. Whenever it is decided to make an inquiry under clause (a) or clause (b) of Rule 17, the District Magistrate
or other Magistrate appointed as aforesaid or the Magistrate ᦰ◌
֮ deputed under clause (b) of Rule 17, as the case may
be, shall at once inform the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety, the Head of the Railway Administration
concerned and the Divisional Superintendent by telegraph, of the date and hour at which the inquiry will commerce,
so as to enable the railway administration to summon the requisite expert evidence. After sending such information,
he shall proceed to the scene of the accident and conduct the inquiry there.

19. A Magistrate, making an inquiry under Rule 17, may summon any railway servant, and any other persons
whose presence he may think necessary, and, after taking the evidence and completing the inquiry, shall, if he
considers there are sufficient grounds for a judicial inquiry, take the requisite steps for bringing to trial any person
whom he may consider to be criminally liable for the accident. Whenever technical points are involved, the Magistrate
should call for the opinion of the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety or other professional persons.

20. The result of every Inquiry or investigation made under Rule 17 shall be communicated by the Magistrate,
who has held such inquiry or investigation, to the head of the Railway Administration concerned and to the Additional
Commissioner of Railway Safety.
21. (1) If, in the course of any judicial inquiry into an accident occurring in the course of working a railway,
the Magistrate holding such inquiry desires the assistance of the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety or of
the Head of the Railway Administration concerned for the attendance of any officer of the railway, to explain any
matter relating to railway supervision, management or working, he shall issue a requisition to the Commissioner of
Railway Safety or the Head of the Railway Administration concerned, as the case may be, for the attendance in the
Court of the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety or other railway officer competent to explain such matter,

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 147


Stating at the same time the nature of the assistance required. In summoning railway servants, the Magistrate shall take care not
to summon on the same day so large a number of the employees, especially of one class, as to cause inconvenience" to the
working of the railway. In the case of very serious accidents it will generally be advisable for the Magistrate to obtain reports
from both the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety and the Head of the Railway Administration concerned in regard to
the accident, before finally concluding the judicial inquiry'.
(2) The Magistrate conducting the judicial inquiry shall, as far as possible, avoid summoning the Additional Commissioner
of Railway Safety, if in the report submitted under Rule 4 of the Statutory Investigation into Railway Accidents Rules, 1973, the
opinion of the said Additional Commissioner on technical matters which required explanation has already been expressed.
22. On the conclusion of the judicial inquiry the Magistrate shall send a copy of his decision to the Head of the
Railway Administration concerned and to the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety, and shall, unless in any
case he thinks it unnecessary to do so, report the result of the inquiry to the State Government.
23. (1) The Railway Police may make an investigation into the causes which led to any accident occurring in
the course of working a railway and shall do so—
(a) whenever any such accident is attended with loss of human life, or with grievous hurt, or with serious
damage to railway property of the value exceeding Rs. 1.00.000 or has prima facie been due to any
criminal act or omission; or
(b) whenever the District Magistrate or the Magistrate appointed under Rule 17 has given a direction
under clause (c) of that rule :
* Provided that no such investigation shall be made when an inquiry has been commenced or ordered under clause (a)
or clause (b) of Rule 17:
Provided further that where, having regard to the nature of the accident, the Central Government has appointed a
ᦰ◌
֮
Commission of Inquiry to inquire into it under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, 1952 (60 of 1952). or has appointed
any other authority to inquire into it and for that purpose has made all or any of the •' provisions of the said Act
applicable to that authority, the Railway Police shall not make an investigation under this rule, and, where they have
already commenced their investigation, shall not proceed further with it; and shall hand over the records or other
documents in their possession relating to the investigation to such authority, as may be specified by the Central
Government in this behalf.
(2) The Railway Police shall report, with as little delay as possible, to the nearest Station Master or, where there is no
station master, to the railway servant in charge of the section of the railway on which the accident has occurred, every accident
which may come to their notice occurring in the course of working a railway attended with loss of human life, or with grievous
hurt, or with serious damage to railway property of the value exceeding Rs. 1,00,000 or which has prima facie been due to any
criminal act or omission.
*It has been further clarified in memo No. 59-TTV/42/1, New Delhi, dated 16th February 1967 from Railway Board to
Under-Secretary to the Government of Bihar, Political (Police) Department, Patna as below :—
x x x x x

Therefore, the basis of action under this Chapter of the Criminal Procedure Code is information regarding commission
of an offence or suspicion as to the commission of such offence. The investigation under this Chapter is, therefore, different
from the limited investigation referred to under the Railway rules. It is, however, possible that while conducting such a
limited investigation into an accident under those rules, the police may come into possession of information or may suspect
the commission of some offence and nothing prevents them from starting an investigation under the Criminal Procedure
Code and proceeding with it.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL (VOL-3) 148


24. (1) Whenever an investigation is to be made by the Railway Police—
(a) in a case in which an accident is attended with loss of human life or with grievous hurt or with serious
damage to railway properly of the value exceeding Rs. 1.00,000; or
(b) in pursuance of direction given under clause (c) of Rule 17, the investigation shall be conducted by
the Head of the Railway Police of the area in which the accident has occurred, or if that officer should
be unable to conduct the investigation himself, then by an officer to be deputed by him.
(2) The officer deputed under sub-rule (1) shall ordinarily be the senior officer available and shall, whenever possible,
be a Gazetted Officer, and shall in no case be of rank lower than that of Inspector :
Provided that the investigation may be carried out by an officer in charge of a police-station—
(i) in a case such as is referred to in clause (a) of sub-rule (1), if no loss of life or grievous hurt has been caused to
more persons than one or no damage to railway property of value exceeding Rs. 1, 00,000 has been caused, or
there is reason to suspect that any servant of the railway has been guilty of neglect of any rule relating to the
working of the railway; or
(ii) In the case referred to in clause (b) of sub-rule (1) if the District Magistrate so directs.
25. The officer who is to conduct an investigation in pursuance of Rule 21 shall at once inform the Head of the
Railway Administration concerned and the Divisional Superintendent by telegraph of the date and hour at which
the investigation will commence so that, if possible, the presence of a railway official may be arranged to wateh the
proceedings and to aid the officer making the investigation. After sending such advice, he shall proceed without
delay to the scene of the accident and conduct the investigation
ᦰ◌
֮ there. The absence of a railway official shall .not,
however, be allowed to delay the investigation, which should be conducted as soon as possible after the accident
has taken place.
26. (1) In every case to which Rule 24 applies, immediate information shall be given by the railway police of
the area to the District Police, who, if so required, shall afford all necessary assistance and shall If occasion arises,
carry the investigation beyond the limits of the railway premises. But the railway police of the area shall primarily
be responsible for carrying on the investigation within such limits.

(2) Subject to any provisions elsewhere contained in these rules, the further prosecution of the case, on the conclusion
of the police investigation, shall rest with the railway police.

27. The result of every police investigation shall be reported at once to the District Magistrate or other officer
appointed in this behalf by the State Government, to the Head of the Railway Administration concerned or other
officer appointed by him and to the Additional Commissioner of Railway Safety.
28. Where there are no railway police, the duties imposed by Rules 23, 24,25 and sub-rule (2) of Rule 26 and
Rule 27 on the Railway Police of the area, not on the Head of such Railway Police, shall be discharged by the
district police or by the District Superintendent of Police, as the case may be.

In P.M. Rule 508 (b) in the first line, for clause 10 of Appendix 29, read clause 28 of ANNEXURE to Appendix 29.

PRINCIPLES OF POLICE CONDUCT.
[RULES 666, 704(c)]

1. The Police must bear faithful allegiance to the Constitution of India and respect and uphold the rights of the
citizens as guaranteed by it.
2. The Police are essentially a law enforcing agency. They should not question the propriety or necessity of
any duly enacted law. They should enforce the law firmly and impartially, without fear or favour, malice or
vindictiveness and observe the law themselves.
3. The Police should recognise and respect the limitations of their powers and functions. They should not
usurp or even seem to usurp the functions of the judiciary. Nor should they avenge individual crime or seek to
punish the guilty.
4. In securing the observance-of law or in maintaining order, the Police should use the methods of persuasion,
advice and warning. Should these fail and the application of force becomes inevitable only, the absolute minimum
required in the circumstances should be used.
5. The primary duty of the Police is to prevent crime and disorder and the Police must recognise that the test
of their efficiency is the absence of both and not the visible evidence of Police action in dealing with them.
6. The Police must recognise that they are members of the public, with the only difference that in the interest
of the community and on its behalf they are employed to give full-time attention to the duties which are normally
incumbent on every citizen to perform.
7. The Police should realise that the efficient performance of their duties will be dependent on the extent of
ready co-operation they receive from the public. This, in ℀℀
turn, will depend on their honesty and sincerity in hearing
their grievances, their sense of security he has been able to regenerate and the confidence he has been able to
inspire and keenness and ability he has shown in investigation.
8. The Police should be sympathetic and considerate to all people and should be constantly mindful of their
welfare. They should always be ready to offer individual service and friendship and render necessary assistance to
all, without regard to their wealth or social standing.
9. The Police shall always place duty before self, should remain calm and good-humoured whatever be the
danger or provocation and should be ready even to sacrifice their lives in protecting those of others.
10. The Police should always be Courteous and well mannered: they should be dependable and detached: they
should possess dignity and courage: and should cultivate character and the trust of the people.
11. Integrity of the highest order is the fundamental basis of the prestige of the police, Recognising this, the
Police must keep their private lives scrupulously clean, develop self-restraint and be truthful and honest in thought
and deed, in both personal and official life, so that the public may regard them as exemplary citizens.
12. The Police should recognise that they can enhance their u t i li t y to the Administration and the country only
by maintaining a high standard of discipline, unstinted obedience to superiors and loyalty to the force and by
keeping themselves in a state of constant training and preparedness.
13. The Police force shall provide safety and give help specially to women, children, handicapped persons
and very aged persons. In this work, no discrimination is ever to be made for religion, caste, etc.
14. The Police force shall always behave with kindness to dumb animals.

District Police— Other charges". The period of training at the Institute shall last for 8 months at the end of which a
speed of 70 words a minute in shorthand and 30 words a minute in typewriting is expected from each assistant Sub-
Inspector. If necessary, the period of training may be extended with the special sanction of the Inspector-General.
11. Steno Sub-Inspectors and assistant Sub-Inspectors will be allotted to the ranges by the Inspector-General.
The Deputy Inspector-General will then distribute them among districts within their ranges as may be necessary.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 190


12. In order to secure efficient reporters, a monthly allowance of Rs. 50 shall be given to steno assistant Sub-
Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors and Rs. 75 when they pass class II stenographer course. Those who pass class I
stenographer course shall be eligible to get increased allowance according to government orders. The eligibility of
the stenographers to draw the allowance shall be determined by the Inspector-General on the result of an examination
to be hold once a year by the Principal at the Police Training College. The date of examination in consultation with
the Principal shall be published in the Police Gazette.
Those who fail in shorthand but have requisite speed of typing may be required as typist assistant Sub-
Inspector. Those who do not pass in any test shall be reverted to their original ranks.
13. In order that shorthand writers may maintain and improve their skill, constant practice is necessary. Officers
who have been trained in shorthand should, therefore, be employed at the headquarters station of districts and have
daily practice—
(a) in reporting evidence and speeches in Court;
(b) in reporting speeches made at political and other meetings;
(c) in recording drafts, etc., dictated by the Superintendent,
14. The primary object to be aimed at is the provision of a body of trained stenographers capable of reporting
verbatim a speech delivered in Hindi, for which a speed varying from 120 to 160 words in a minute is necessary.
Superintendents should bear this in mind and see that work is arranged with a view to attain that object. They
should also ensure that stenographers are made to do regular daily practice by having passages dictated to them on
days on which they have not, in the course of their duties, had to take down sufficient to keep them up to the mark.
15. The appointment of steno Sub-inspector/assistant Sub-Inspector and typist assistant Sub-Inspector shall
be done by Deputy Inspector-General under Police Act. They shall wear Police uniform but shall not use any of the
裂‫؍‬
powers of police so long as they work as stenographers and typist.

APPENDIX 49
RULES FOR PROCEEDINGS FOR DEPARTMENTAL PUNISHMENT
(RULE 828)
1. In drawing up proceedings, the grounds on which it is proposed to take action shall be reduced to the form
of a definite charge or charges, which shall be communicated to the person charged quickly together with a statement
of the allegations on which each charge is based. Any other circumstances which is proposed to be taken into
consideration in drawing up proceeding shall also be communicated. It should be ensured that several miscellaneous
charges should not be lumped into one proceeding and only connected or coherent charges should be included in it.
The delinquent shall be required, within a reasonable time, not exceeding four weeks (unless extended for some
definite reasons) to put in a written statement of his defence and to state whether he desires to be heard in person.
If he so desires, or if the authority concerned so directs, an oral enquiry shall be held. At that enquiry, evidence shall
be heard as to such of the allegations as are not admitted, and the person charged shall he entitled to cross-examine
the witnesses, to give evidence in person and to have such witnesses called as he may wish, provided that the
officer conducting the enquiry may, for special and sufficient reasons to be recorded in writing, refuse to call a
witness. Except in very special circumstances, no pleader or agent should be allowed to appear either on behalf of
the Government or the accused either before the officer who conducts the enquiry or any officer to whom appeal
may be made.
Note. — This rule shall not apply where the person concerned has absconded or where it is for other reasons impracticable
to communicate with him. But the order sheet and annexures to the proceeding file must record that attempts
had been made to communicate with the accused at the address given in his service book through the
Superintendent of his home district. The tendency of officers to run away on medical leave often occurs and
the attention of Health Department should be drawn if any civil surgeon is not circumspect in granting medical
certificates. However even such an officer on medical leave is not immune from disciplinary action. See Rule
798 (b).
2. On receipt of the explanation and after enquiry, if any, when it is decided to keep or modify the charges
against an officer, a record should he at once opened in the prescribed P.M. Form No. 178 and an order recorded on
the order sheet, giving a reference to the papers of the preliminary enquiry, or other materials upon which the
charges are framed. It is specially important that al 1 orders of any short passed in connection with the proceedings
after the record is opened with the framing of the charges should appear on the order sheet, so that the whole course
of the proceedings from the outset may be evident from a perusal of the sheet as laid down in the instructions in
P.M. Form No. 178. The State Government have in their letter No. 3/R1-102/78 Personnel Department No. 13046,
dated the 7th July 1978 decided that the question of full departmental proceeding shall arise only when it appears
after seeing the gravity of charges that if these are proved, punishments like removal from service, reversion are
required to be given under Rule 55 of Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules. In other cases,
simpler procedure as given in clause 1 may be adopted.
3. The proceedings shall contain a sufficient record of the evidence, and the original findings which should be
based on adequate grounds. These shall also include a recital of the previous character of the accused as recorded
in his service-book or office records in case past bad record is already included in the charges. In that case a
complete copy of the finding and of order on all the charges relating to particular item(s) of previous bad record to
be taken into account shall be kept with the character sheet.
4. The papers of the preliminary enquiry, when they can be spared, should be attached to the order sheet as
part of the record. All other papers should follow in chronological order within the divisions specified in P.M.
Form No. 178, that is to say, the charges shall be attached to the charge-sheet, the evidences attached to the
evidence-sheet, and so on, each section being distinguished upon the record by the appropriate sheet prefixed; and
at the top of this sheet the pages belonging to the section should be noted. Care must be taken that the chronological

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 214


order is observed, that each separate paper is paged as the record proceeds, and that it is not filed loosely but
attached to the record. An index shall be written on inside of the front cover after numbering all the pages when the
proceeding is concluded.
5. In case s preliminary enquiry has been held according to cl. 1, it is not enough to examine witnesses at the
preliminary enquiry only before charges are framed, and to give the officer concerned an opportunity of examining
them only at that stage, because in order to direct his questions to best purpose he must know first what charges he
has to meet. Moreover, until the charges are defined, the officer conducting the enquiry is not in a position to
disallow irrelevant questioning. Whilst, therefore, it must often be necessary to examine witnesses upon questions
of fact before framing charges, in order to make sure that grounds for the same exist, the actual examination for the
purpose of determining the guilt or innocence of the officer proceeded against must take place at uie proceeding
itself. When, however, witnesses' statements are already on record, as part of the preliminary enquiry, it is not
necessary to record them over again when the hearing takes place. It is sufficient to ascertain whether the witnesses
confirm their previous statements, and to communicate these statements to the officers charged in order that he
may be able to direct his questions. If the witnesses are Government officers of a rank superior to the officer
charged, it is in the interest of discipline that the questions should be put by the officer conducting the proceeding,
at the request of the officer charged, rather than by the officer charged-himself. A date should be fixed for the
examination of witnesses and reasonable notice given to the officer charged.
List of witnesses should be given in advance and several witnesses either on behalf of prosecution or defence
need not be called to testify to a certain fact and only a few should be enough unless after examining them, there is
doubt about the fact in issue. Some witnesses may he tendered. If any witness is rejected, a note in the order sheet
should be made. Formal witnesses for proving exhibits on record should be cut out unless these are challenged and
there is doubt about its genuineness. However, reasonable facilities for a proper presentation of evidence during
the enquiry must be given to defence. His defence should ‫؃‬ be taken alter the witnesses have been examined. He
should be encouraged to give it verbally, to be reduced to writing by the officer conducting the proceedings; but if
he wishes to give his defence in writing and asks for time, a reasonable time should be allowed according to the
complexity of the case, as also for the production of witnesses for the defence, if these are not produced when the
witnesses in support of the charge are heard. The memorandum of the evidence of witnesses examined must be
recorded by the officer conducting the proceedings in his own handwriting as the examination of each witness
proceeds. Memoranda made by a shorthand writer or based upon, shorthand notes will not be accepted unless the
dictated statements are transcribed forthwith and the signature of delinquents obtained. If the Presiding Officer
should be temporarily incapacitated from writing, some responsible officer must be deputed to record the
memorandum in his presence and under his supervision.
6. When the orders for punishment are passed by an authority other than the person conducting the enquiry
into the conduct of the Government officer concerned, it will be sufficient if the authority passing orders of
punishment definitely records his agreement or disagreement with the person by whom the enquiry was conducted.
This intended to meet the case in which a Superintendent or other responsible officer delegates a proceeding to a
competent subordinate to conduct. In such a case it is the duty of the officer to whom the proceeding is delegated to
conduct it throughout upon the lines prescribed, to see that the record is properly compiled, and to record his finding
upon the charges framed after which the record should be submitted to the delegating officer who should, if the
proceeding is in order, record his acceptance or otherwise of the finding, and pass order of punishment; or if the
proceeding be not in order, take any action necessary.
7. The record is to be prepared as the case is gone into; that is for each date, there should be a clear note on the
under sheet of the action taken as the depositions are recorded and made available to the delinquent, etc. In no case,
the order sheet is to be written by a clerk after the case has been decided.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 215


8. (i) In all cases in which the record is likely to be of considerable length, duplicate copies in type shall be
made of the documents mentioned in clause 2 above, excepting the record of the previous character of the accused.
(ii) The copies shall be made at each stage of the proceedings. One copy shall be filed with the record, in its
appropriate place, and the other, duly certified by a responsible officer, shall be made over to the accused and a
receipt obtained.
(iii) The accused shall not he required to pay for copies unless he demands further copies, as, for instance, in
cases of loss, or copies of documents other than those filed with the record.
(iv) A copy of the findings of the conducting officer should be given to the delinquent without delay. It is not
necessary to give to him an opportunity of second 'show cause' on the penalty proposed as laid down in the 44th
amendment in 1976 of the Article 311 of Indian Constitution.
9. The, special attention of all officers is drawn to the rule reproduced on the margin, which is prescribed
under the authority of the Government of India. In accordance therewith they should base their findings and orders
of punishment upon facts and inferences appearing in or deduced from the records, and judgment should not
contain confidential matters or deal with persons or topics not directly concerned with or at issue in' the proceedings.
As a rule only the substance of decision should be communicated to the officer concerned, with such statement
of the grounds upon which it is based as may be necessary for information of the officer and may be considered
expedient having regard to the circumstances of the case. Despatches from or to the Government of India and
correspondence indicating a difference of opinion between the State Government and the Government of India should
only be communicated with the express permission of the Government of India.
10. The above instructions will not apply (i) in the case of public servants (a) who are judicially convicted of
a criminal offence and are dismissed or otherwise punished solely with regard to the finding of the Court, or (b)
who abscond with an accusation pending against them; 結 (ii) when from facts elicited in a criminal case brought

against a public servant, in which the latter has not been convicted, or in a civil suit instituted against him, it is
apparent that his retention in the public service is prima facie no longer desirable. These facts may he used as the
basis of an order calling on him to show cause why he should not be punished by dismissal or otherwise. In such a
case, the officer concerned should have an opportunity of submitting his defence, and he should not be precluded
from tendering such further evidence in support of his case as he may see fit to produce.
11. An appellate authority should ordinarily deal, as is customary, with those points only that are raised or
pressed in the appeal.
12. These orders must receive careful compliance and Deputy Inspectors-General should see that they are
properly observed in proceedings coming before them. Non-compliance with the instructions render proceedings
liable to be set aside on appeal or revision and Government have expressly declared that the above rules must be
observed in the most literal manner as they constitute the least safeguard against improper punishment that officers
in superior service can reasonably demand. The Government has likewise laid down that in n case in which the
dismissal of an officer of the status of Sub-Inspector is involved the proceedings should usually be conducted by
the Superintendent in person, unless for good reason, such as the remoteness of the place, it is really necessary to
depute some other responsible officer to examine the witnesses on the spot or to make personal investigations in
the locality. In such cases that officer must observe all the provisions of Rule 828 of the Police Manual and come
to a clear finding on each charge.

Delays in the submission of case diaries, charge-sheets or final reports, in dealing with correspondence or in
returning acquittance rolls and advice slips (all of which an officer should explain when submitting late and before

the entry to which it relates shall be deleted.

of the entry in the register shall be noted on the explanation.
5. (a) At the close of the year the Defect Register shall be examined by the Superintendent of Police. If there

(b) In deciding whether a note is to be made in the service book or not all instances of good work of the officer
during the year shall be considered.

up. The charge shall be "you are charged with unsatisfactory work (or conduct) in that (here note the entries in the
Defect Register)".
7. Proceedings instituted under this rule are distinct from proceedings under Police Manual Rule 832(c)
calling on an officer to show cause why his next increment should not be withheld. The items of bad work with
which he is charged in these proceedings are not "res judicata".
8. Entries of a previous year shall on no account be considered.
9. The Defect Register shall also be examined and entries taken into consideration when the question of an
officer's increment or promotion arises.
10. When an officer is transferred to another district the connected papers and a copy of all entries in the
Defect Register for the current year only shall be sent to his new district.

supplementary instructions should be carefully noted :—
(a) Part 1.—Information concerned with different headings in Part 1 shall be consolidated in Criminal

unidentified dead bodies and missing persons are available, they will also be published with physical
descriptions and special marks of identification.
(b) Part 2.—With regard to suspicious persons arrested it is necessary to send in names only of those
whose identity has not been established by their finger prints or enquiries at their homes, and when
possible photographs of such individuals should be sent with the notices.
Notorious and dangerous criminals.—It is necessary to publish in the Gazette details regarding only such
criminals as arc dangerous and professional, and the facts of those being at large and free from police
surveillance are menace to the public, and those who have convictions in several districts.
Superintendents will avoid submitting reports regarding the absence of ordinary time-expired convicts
from their homes. Exception will occasionally be made in cases of criminals who are known to have
gone in a particular direction and who have some physical peculiarities which make their identification

the character of the gang during the previous week, whether suspected of any crime or whether there has been
in increase of crime in the neighbourhood, etc. From these, such information as is of general interest or in any
way important will be published in the Gazette.

correct the meagre, badly worded and unintelligible notices sent in by station officers and absurd phrases go in.
Superintendents will be held responsible for seeing that these notices are .properly drawn up and scrutinised in
their offices. Descriptive rolls shall invariably be given according to the instructions given in Appendix 6.

assessment or collection work;
(ii) Travelling allowance of officers, who in addition to their ordinary duties do the assessment and
collection work, for special journeys to the affected areas for the purpose of supervising or making
collections and assessment.
The travelling allowance of superior officers such as District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police should
not be included in the cost of the additional police.

allowances, fees, contingencies and other charges, if any, actually incurred by the disbursing officer) should be
drawn by the Superintendent of Police or the District Magistrate as the case may be in the usual bill forms, but
separately from those on account of the ordinary force of the district. With a view to maintain this distinction in the
accounts of the Treasury as well as of the State, the challans and the bills should cite the sanctioning orders and
bear distinct headings in red ink at the top as appertaining to the General Police Fund. All indents and invoices for
articles obtained from the jail, the Military or any other Government Departments should also be similarly marked.

officers named in Rule 5 above, in which the recoveries or the charges or both, as the cause may be, should be shown
quoting the challans and the treasury vouchers or the invoices. On the first of each month, the Superintendent of
Police or the District Magistrate, as the case may be, will report to the Inspector-General of police the total recovery
made and the total expenditure incurred by him during the previous month for each force as also the receipts and
charges mentioned in Rule 3-A. He will at the same time forward copies of 1 he detailed accounts arriving at these
totals to the Accountant-General, Bihar for verification and transmission not later than the 20th of the month to the
Inspector-General. On receipt of the verified accounts the Inspector-General will verify the totals already reported
to him and take steps in consultation with the disbursing and the recovering officers for the reconciliation of any
discrepancies that may be pointed out by the Accountant-General. When the discrepancies are settled he should
either correct his ledger figure (vide Rule 7) or, if necessary, intimate to the Accountant-General the corrections to
be made in his accounts. The adjustments on account of maintenance and depreciation charges of fire-arms and
supply of uniforms and accoutrements from the Police Department (vide Rules 10 and 11 below) and of the indirect
charges for leave salary and pension will be made by the Accountant-General and the amounts to be added to the

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 237


expenditure on these accounts will be intimated by him to the Inspector-General from time to time for incorporation
in the accounts referred to in Rule 7 below.
Notes.—(1) In all accounts the gross expenditure incurred should be shown. Recoveries of every payments already
charged to Additional Police should however be taken in reduction of the gross expenditure.
(2) Refunds of recoveries of cost should be taken in reduction of receipts.
(3) Receipts under Section 15-Aof the Act should be kept in criminal deposits till the
compensations are paid to the injured persons [B. T. Code Vol. I—Rule 536 (ii)].
7. The Inspector-General of Police will act as the administrator of the Fund and maintain from the figures
reported to him by the disbursing and the recovering officers (vide Rule 6 above) a ledger account for each force
separately. He will watch the progress of the expenditure and the realisation of the cost and issue warnings to the
officers responsible for effecting the recoveries. As soon as he' finds that the total expenditure of the fund is likely
to exceed the amount at its credit he will, take steps to obtain a supplementary grant under "255-Police—Welfare
of Police personnel—Contribution payable to Police Welfare Fund" to cover the excess.
A separate ledger account shall also be opened in respect of the receipts and charges mentioned in Rule 3 A.
8. To effect a verification of the balance at the credit of the fund the Accountant-General will intimate to the
Inspector-General of Police half-yearly the total balance of the fund and the Inspector-General will after verifying
this within the total of the ledger balances communicate his acceptance to the Accountant-General.
9. The Inspector-General is empowered to transfer savings of one force to another entertained under Section
15. He cannot, except with the approval of the State Government, transfer any surplus in the accounts of the forces
entertained under Sections 13 and 14 to the account of the forces entertained under Section 15, or vice-versa. The
total saving of the fund at the end of the year will, unless otherwise directed by the State Government be carried
forward as the opening balance of the next year.
10. For fire-arms lent by the Police Department, a fixed charge of Re. 1 per mensem per carbine, subject to the
maximum of Rs. 12 should be charged to the fund as maintenance and depreciation charges. As soon as each force
is disbanded the Superintendent of Police should intimate to the Accountant-General the number of carbines and
the period for which these were actually lent, so that the necessary adjustment by debit to the fund account may be
made by him (vide Rule 6 above). No charge should, however, be made for the ammunition so lent by the Police
Department. If arms and ammunitions are obtained, from the arsenal and returned when the force is disbanded, the
necessary charges and refunds will be made in the accounts according to the actual cost charged and the amount
allowed for by the Military Department on return to the arsenal.
11. As regards uniforms and accoutrements, other than fire-arms supplied by the Police Department, the
charges will be at the rate sanctioned for first kits and no refunds should be demanded when the force is disbanded.
The Superintendent of Police will after deputing the additional force, furnish the Accountant-General with a statement
showing the number and designation of the men deputed with their kits, and the Accountant-General will make the
necessary adjustment under Rule 6 above. For uniforms and accoutrements purchased direct for the additional
force. the actual cost as paid for should be charged to the fund, the bill or the invoice concerned being distinctly
marked as so chargeable. As charges on account of the latter will not be adjusted by the Accountant-General they
should not be included in the statement referred to above.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 238


SPECIAL NOTES
1. According to para 14.4 under Chapter 14—Exhibition of Recoveries of Expenditure in accounts of the
"Second Report of the Team on reforms in the structure of Budget and accounts", Volume I. the recoveries of
expenditure of the department for its functions and activities and also the recoveries of expenditure incurred by the
department of Government for a private party, another department of Government or another Government should
in all cases be treated as revenue receipts of the Government rendering such services or supplies. As per aforesaid
Report of the Team in the revised classification of Government Transactions effective from 1st April, 1974 all the

recoveries made by Police Department on account of services rendered and supplies made to private individuals,
party, departments of Government of India (Civil) and to Railways, Post and Telegraph and Defense are required
to be classified under revenue head viz.,—
"055-Police-Sector B-Non-Tax Revenue (c) other Non-Tax-Revenue (i) General Services-Police Supplied
to other Governments or Police Supplied to other parties", and that money cannot directly be credited
to the General Police Fund.
2. As no money can he directly transferred from the consolidated Fund to Public Account without the vote of
Legislature, provision for contribution to 'Police Welfare Fund' is to be made in every year in the civil Budget
Estimates under the head "255-Police—Welfare of Police Personnel—Contributions to Police Welfare Fund". The
existing provisions have, accordingly, been modified which will come into force with effect from 1st April 1980.
3. With effect from 1st October, 1976 the principles and procedures followed for the settlement of inter-
Governmental transactions on account of supplies made or service rendered by one Government to another [including
a State Government on one hand and another State Government or Government of India (Civil/Railway/Post and
Telegraph/Defence on the other hand] have been set out in the Government of India, Ministry of Finance (Department
of Economic Affairs) letter No. FI(57)-B/74, dated the 12th October, 1976) addressed to the Finance Secretaries of

APPENDIX 73
PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN A GOVERNMENT SERVANT IS
SUMMONED BY A COURT TO PRODUCE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS FOR
THE PURPOSE OF GIVING EVIDENCE
(RULES 355 AND 374)

The law relating to the production of unpublished official records as evidence in Courts is contained in Sections 123, 324
and 162 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Act I of 1872) which are reproduced below :—

"123.No one shall be permitted to give any evidence derived from unpublished official records relating to any affairs of
State except with the permission of the officer at the head of the department concerned, who shall give or
withhold such permission as he thinks fit."

"124.No public officer shall be compelled to disclose communications made to him in official confidence when he
considers that the public interests would suffer by the disclosure."

" 162. A witness summoned to produce a document shall, if it is in his possession or power, bring it to Court,
notwithstanding any objection which there may be to its production, or to its admissibility. The validity of any
such objection shall be decided on by the Court."

The Court, if it sees fit, may inspect the document, unless it refers to matters of State, or take other evidence to enable it
to determine on its admissibility.

If for such a purpose it is necessary to cause any document to be translated, the Court may, if it thinks fit, direct the
translator to keep the contents secret, unless the document is to be given in evidence; and, if the interpreter disobeys such
direction; he shall be held to have committed an offence under Section 166 of the Indian Penal Code.

2. For the purpose of Section 123 above, the expression "officer at the head of the department" may be held to mean the
head of the office in whose custody the document required by the Court is, and vis-a-vis the Court which demands its
production, that officer should be treated as the authority to withhold or give the necessary permission.

3. In respect of documents emanating (1) from a higher authority, of the Government of India, or the State Government,
or which have formed the subject of correspondence with such higher authority, or (2) from a foreign Government, the head of
the department should obtain the consent of the State/Central or Foreign Government concerned through the usual official
channels before agreeing to produce the documents in Court, or allowing evidence based on them, unless the papers are
intended for publication, or are of a purely formal or routing nature, when a reference to higher authority may be dispensed
with.

4. In the case of papers other than those specified in clause 3 above, the head of the department they claim privilege in
respect of production of document and make a request to the Court accordingly if it relates to matters which are generally
regarded as confidential, or disclosure of which would in his opinion be detrimental to public interest, or to matters which are in
dispute in some other connection, or have given rise to a controversy between Government and some other party (See clause
7).

5. In a case of doubt the head of the department should invariably refer to higher authority for orders.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 310


6. These instructions apply as well to cases in which Government is a party to the suit. In such cases, much will depend
on the legal advice as to the value of the documents, but before they are produced in Court, the considerations stated above
must be borne in mind, and reference to higher authority made, when necessary.
7. The Government servant who is to attend a Court as a witness with official documents should, where permission
under Section 123 has been withheld be given an order duly signed by the head of the department in the accompanying form. He
should produce it when he is called upon to give his evidence, and should explain that he is not at liberty to produce the
documents before the Court, or to give any evidence derived from them. He should, however, take with him the papers which
he has been summoned to produce.
8. The head of the department should abstain from entering into correspondence with the Presiding Officer of the Court
concerned in regard to the grounds on which the documents have been called for. He should obey the Court's orders and should
appear personally, or arrange for the appearance of another officer in the Court concerned, with the documents, and act as
indicated in paragraph 7 above, and produce the necessary certificate if he claims privilege.

APPENDIX 74
RULES FOR THE DEFENCE OF POLICE OFFICERS IN CIVIL SUITS AND
CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS
(RULE 716)

1. Superintendent to be informed.—All police officers against whom any criminal prosecution or civil suit is instituted
shall at once inform the Superintendent or corresponding superior officer.

2. Prosecution by a public servant.—When a prosecution against a police officer is instituted by a public servant, the officer
charged will be left to defend himself but Government will defray his reasonable costs in the event of his being acquitted, and it being
shown that his conduct throughout has been free from all blame. If though acquitted of the offence charged, his conduct would not be found
to be free from blame, he shall receive only, such portion, if any, of the costs incurred by him as may seem fit to Government (See Rules
844-849).

3. Prosecution by private persons.—Police officers will always be protected when it appears to Government that they have acted in
good faith but Government does not bind itself to undertake their defence when this is not the case.

When Government declines to defend, it rests with the police officer concerned to take such measures as he considers necessary at his
own expense, but if the verdict of the Court is in favour of the police officer, Government will ordinarily reimburse his expenses. It is to be
distinctly understood, however, that Government do not undertake to pay any except reasonable expenses.

4. Civil suits or criminal prosecutions instituted against police officers by private persons.—In the case of a civil suit or a criminal
prosecution against a police officer in connection with the discharge of his official functions, the following course shall be adopted :—

(a) Procedure in the civil suits.—If any suit is instituted against a police officer for anything purporting to be done in his official
capacity without the notice required by Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, having been duly served on him he
shall as a rule move the Court to dismiss the suit on the ground that it is instituted contrary to the provisions of that section.
If however, such a notice is given he shall immediately report to his superior officer all the circumstances necessary for
forming an opinion of the case. When the report reaches the Superintendent or the corresponding superior officer he will at
once after making any enquiry that may be necessary, report the facts fully with his recommendations to the District
Magistrate who shall forward the report through the Deputy Inspector-General and if time permits to the Inspector-General
who will forward his recommendations to Government. The Government will pass orders after consulting the Legal
Remembrance.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 312


(b) Criminal complaints.—Section 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure lays down a special procedure in regard to
criminal prosecutions against certain classes of officers. In those cases there will always be ample time to obtain
the orders of Government as to undertaking the difference of a police officer to whom that section applies and
the same procedure must be followed as in clause (a) above. In the case of criminal prosecutions against other
classes of police officers, it may frequently be impossible to obtain the orders of Government before the
commencement of the proceedings in Court. In that case it would rest with the District Magistrate after
consulting the Superintendent, to decide whether the difference shall be undertaken by Government or not. In
the event of disagreement between the District Magistrate and the Superintendent concerning the difference of
the accused police officer, the District Magistrate shall instruct the Public Prosecutor to appear for the accused
police officer in the initial proceeding and request the Court to postpone the case pending a decision by
Government as to whether he should be defended at the cost of Government or not. In such cases as in all others,
a full report shall be sent to Government as early as possible in the manner laid down in clause (a) above,
stating the course the District Magistrate has decided to adopt.

Note.— In case of Criminal Prosecution against constables the power of Government to sanction difference at the expense of the State
has been delegated to Commissioners of Divisions. The report of the Superintendent of Police and the District Magistrate
will be forwarded by the Deputy-Inspector-General of Police to the Commissioner in such cases.

(c) In cases against officers of the Criminal Investigation/Intelligence Departments or the Railway Police, the
Superintendent concerned will be competent to sanction expenditure in place of District Magistrate if the officer
proceeded against is of the rank of Sub-Inspector or below. Similarly Deputy Inspector- General shall be the
sanctioning authority for officers of the rank of Deputy/Assistant Superintendent
and Government above that rank.

Note.— Attention is invited also to the provisions of Section 42 of the Police Act (5 of 1861).

5. (a) If Government or any local officer acting on its behalf sanctions the difference of a police officer, it would ordinarily
be sufficient to limit it to engage a Government Pleader or a Public Prosecutor at the expense of Government and the
incidental expenses, e.g., court-fees and diet money of witnesses will also be borne by Government. If in any case private
counsel is engaged, the scale of fees to be paid to him will be fixed by the District Magistrate with the sanction of Government.
In petty cases in which appearance in person or with department aid e.g., of the Assistant Public Prosecutor, Grade I is
sufficient, a pleader should not be engaged.

If the police officer wins the case and the costs or damages, or compensation are awarded to him, the expenditure incurred by
Government up to the limit of such costs, damages or compensation shall be refunded by him.

(b) If in a case in which Government have undertaken the difference of a police officer, the decision of the first Court is
against him, the question whether an appeal should be filed at the cost of Government or whether the damages awarded to the
plaintiff or the fine imposed should be paid by Government shall be decided by Government either on the application of the officer
concerned who should move his immediate superior in the matter or on the representation of his superior officer. The latter
should then follow the procedure laid down in Rule 4(a).

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 313


(c ) As legal proceedings against police officers, particularly civil suits, must interfere with the discharge of their
public duties and are likely to cause harassment to them, the District Magistrate should request the Court to deal with such
proceedings with the utmost possible expedition.

(d) For the preliminary stages of the difference, the Inspector-General is authorized to sanction an advance up to Rs.
500 to a police officer involved in a case whenever the orders of Government cannot be obtained through the usual procedure
in time.

APPENDIX 77
INSPECTION OF PLACE OF OCCURRENCE
(RULE 176, APPX. 78, CH. 42)

1. (a) A scene of crime can be recorded by—


(i) noting its detailed description accurately and precisely in the case diary;
(ii) taking its photographs; and
(iii) drawing a plan or sketch supplemented by explanatory notes appended to it.
(b) Scene of crime should necessarily, be recorded in case diary. But a sketch or photo is useful in giving great details,
where required.
The sketch by itself may not be sufficient as the I.O. may miss certain essential points or may not attach importance to
some which may assume importance later. Therefore a few photographs of the P.O. from different angles and positions can
serve as a better record of the state of things.
(c) A sketch and a photo are each relevant under Section 9, Evidence Act provided in case of Photo, the negatives are
also preserved and in either case, the photographer and plan drawer shall have to depose that all connected processes were
gone through by him. It is, therefore, necessary that they are cited as witnesses.
2. (a) According to "doctrine of exchange" a person committing a crime at a certain place would naturally transfer some
material to the spot or bear them with himself. Thus, a minute observation of scene of crime can trace a criminal from the traces
left by him.
(b) It is important that clues at the spot are not destroyed by the inmates of the house, or by curious onlookers or even by
the I.O. himself. The services of Gram Panchayats and rural ֮ police are to be utilised from time to time to educate the public in
鍐◌
preserving the P.O. Arrangements for properly guarding the P.O. have to be made by the I.O.
3. (a) If the P.O. is indoors, i.e., if the scene of crime is in a specified area like a room or a railway carriage the search is to be
conducted in a definite order, clockwise or anti-clockwise. The door may be taken as a starting point and the I.O. should move
either in a clock 'I i-clockwise manner, revolving round the centre and the roof and the walls to cover the entire space.
(b) If the P.O. is outdoors, that is, when the scene of crime is in an open and wide area, a team, of officers should be
deputed for search work. Such a team may consist of a leader and four members or more. The leader may adopt any of the
following methods of search :—
(i) Strip method.—The whole area to be covered in the search is blocked into a rectangle and the four searchers
proceed along four tracks paralled to one side each of the rectangle.
(ii) Zone method.—The entire area to be searched is blocked into a big square. The big square area is then
conveniently divided into small squares which are then assigned to searchers.
(iii) Spiral method.—The four searchers start from a point just outside the area of the crime scene and move
following each other along the path of a spiral and converging towards the centre of the scene of crime.
(iv) Wheel method.—The entire area is covered by a circle. All the searchers are made to collect at the centre and
proceed along the radius. They will repeat the process depending on the size of the circle.

4. Points to look for.— This will depend largely on the circumstances of each case. Everything that happened during the
commission of crime is to be isolated for incorporating in the description of P.O.

but every effort should be made to reconstruct the scene as it was before the occurrence. The point of ignition should be shown
on the map.
(ii) In case of automobile accident, following points are to be looked for and should be given in the map.:— Braking and
skid marks, broken parts from vehicles, e.g., fragments of glass from headlights, chipped flakes of paints and enamels, hub
cap, door handle, evidence of dragging in clothings of deceased or injured, position of vehicles or of victims after accident and
the dimension of vehicles, width of road, natui of road surface, width and nature of the katcha portion of the road,

if visibility is obscured by hedges, fences, walls, poles, etc.. their measurements, portions of fixed objects, e.g. trees, telegraphs,
telephone and electric poles having bearing on the incident. traffic signs, gradient, i.e., slope of hill road.
(iii) In cases of murder due to rioting over land dispute the position of boundary pillars and the title to land are 10 be noted.
In most cases, the body of the victim will be the starting point for search. From this point, I.O. should work onwards in ever
widening circles, making careful examination of the floor, walls, ceiling, etc.
In cases of hanging and strangulation, the human eye may not be able to perceive the slight mark of redness on the neck
produced by the presence of soft ligature but the photography of neck may quite successfully express it.
In suicidal hanging, it may be possible to find traces of fibre from the ropes in the hands of the victim which will not he the
case of a homicidal hanging i.e., when a dead body is hung up by a rope to give it a colour of suicide. Moreover, if the beam is
examined it may show that the rope has moved up from below as the body has been hauled up after tying it in the neck. In a case
of suicide if the person slides down a rope, the fibres will be directed downwards. Moreover, I.O. is to search for letter(s), etc. in
suicide cases. Again in some homicide cases, scratches will he found in the ground and outer side of arms, on the elbow and the
feet rubbing on the ground on account of violence caused by the assailants. Again, in some cases of suicide, the person inflicts
some injuries on himself or swallows poison to kill himself but failing or finding delay ultimately hangs himself. Generally, one
knot in the ligature indicates suicide, two knots suggest homicide, three or more definitely of homicide. In case of throttling, the
impression of thumb is on one side of the front of the neck and that of four remaining fingers on the opposite side.
In case the right hand of the assailants is used, the mark of the thumb will be placed on the right side of victim and the
marks of the four fingers on the left side. In case the left hand of the assailant is used, the marks shall be opposite to this.
The mark made by the thumb shall be higher than the marks made by the fingers. The marks of different finger may also be
placed higher or lower.
The case of throttling can never be accidental. This can be a case of suicide only in cases of lunatic or in. case of persons
suffering from epilepsy. 쏠◌֯

(iv) For Railway accident cases, details are given in Appendix 79.
(v) In cases of fracture of glass, it should be kept in mind that a blow would break it along the radial lines, starting from the
point of application of force. These radial features originate on the opposite surface of the glass. The glass then begins to bend
and when the limit of elasticity is reached, the glass breaks in concentric lines. The concentric features originate on the side of
the application of the force. It is thus possible to determine whether the glass has been broken from within or without.

When window panes are broken by exposure to heat, its speciality is that characteristic wave-shape fractures are observed.
In such cases, the curved lines are very feebly developed and generally the glass splinters fall in the direction of the source of the
heat. Thus, if pieces of glass are found .on the floor of a room it may be due to fire inside. For lifting and examining it, See
Appendix 78 clause 1(b) (13).
6. A sketch map and/or photo should be prepared before a dog squad and/or a F.P. expert has been pressed into service at the
scene of crime. While making a record of inspection of P.O., I.O. should make a detailed record about time, weather conditions,
etc. In all cases, the following must be observed, i.e. the spot whence the witnesses have seen of could have seen anything and
places where traces or clues were found and where these were not found though these could be expected to be found there. The
noting of purely negative facts are not to be neglected, for on the one hand, these raay lead to positive inferences and on the other,
reassure that these were not altogether forgot-

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 330


ten. Thus, if traces of blood are mentioned as having been found in the room of murdered man; it is not sufficient merely to
enumerate these in case diary or sketch but what has not been, found must also be stated as for example, there is no bloody
water in the wash basin or any imprints of blood stained fingers or hands; or if the report concerns a search for papers of
compromise, which have not been found, it must be stated that no ash of burnt paper has been found in the fire place. In
defalcation cases, negative facts like "absence of mention of defalcated amount in hand in cash book" at the bottom is to be
noted in order that the defalcated amount is not shown in hand by subsequent interpolation.
7. General instructions for all types of sketches.—(a) (i) Give title to the map, i.e. case reference with names of parties,
date, name of the person drawing the sketch with his signature, date and time.
(b) (i) The magnetic north and not Geographical north should be shown by an arrow on the map with the help of (i)
Compass or by (it) setting an existing cadastral map of the area with the ground.
(c) If any graph paper has been used for showing pool of blood separately, it should be indicated on the plan also. For
example, if a certain number of drops of blood have dried upon a plank and these are to be depicted, then a separate graph
paper can he used to show the blood in a magnified form and the overall area can be shown separately also on another graph
paper showing the blood on this sketch map in smaller size. Use of graph paper
makes drawing of sketch map easy as given below :—

If graph paper is not readily available, I.O. can prepare one by drawing equidistant perpendicular and horizontal lines on a
piece of paper. As for the object to be put on the graph, some nails or pegs should be put at equidistant places on all its four sides
in the form of a rectangle or square and then the nails should be connected with strings without disturbing the exhibits to be
plotted. The relative positions of exhibits with the thread will help in plotting on the paper.
(d) A drop of blood striking a surface at right angles gives rise to a symmetrical star-shaped pattern of secondary spatters
completely around the resulting spot. If the drop strikes the surface at an angle other than 90 degrees,the spatter will be
disgeometrical and the spot will assure a spear shape. The effect will be heightened by greater velocity of drop and smaller
angle of incidence.

In a crime of great violence and struggle between the victim and the suspect, the blood may be expected to have a wide
distribution at the scene of offence.
(e) Punctilious accuracy of measurements is to be followed. One distance should not be measured by paces or
conventional bamboo length i.e. laggi and the other in the same sketch by measuring tape. As far as possible, all measurements
should be by proscribed tape and done by the I.O. The scale of measurements used in the map is to be indicated. The man
should not be completed by memory. It should be drawn at spot, care being taken to see that

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 331


not only correct distances are shown but also true angles of cross-roads, junctions and angles between various articles.
Measurements should be done from one or two fixed points like survey pillar, a wall, etc., but where no such fixed point is
available, it can also be done from an imaginary line by "Co-ordinate method".
(f) Anything observed by the I.O. can be shown on the map/plan but points derived from witnesses should not be plotted
therein. These can be mentioned in a separate and different annexure to the map. No plan or map is to be drawn on case diary
form but on a separate sheet of paper. Articles, marks, etc. on the map should be indicated only by alphabets like a, b, c. etc., and
details of these symbols are to be shown in the margin or bottom or in an annexure to the map. The map should be drawn
before detailed examination of all witnesses because consequent delay in such examination may disturb the exhibits, etc., on
the scene of crime. A preliminary examination of a few witnesses may be done before, drawing the map. If necessary, another
map can be drawn after examination of other witnesses also and then both the maps are to be attached with the case diary.
(g) If a photograph has been taken, the position of photographer is to be marked on the sketch
(h) When sketching large outdoor portion of a country the conventional signs used on the maps, printed by Survey of
India (Appendix 7) or those used in the cadastral maps may be used.

(i) If it is necessary to show walls, roofs, etc., i.e., when material exhibits are found on walls, roof, windows, doors, etc.
or when the sketch of interior of a room with details on the ceiling and the walls are to be shown, the "plastic cross-projection"
method is useful.
8. A aeries of photographs may be required to be taken for a full description of scene of crime as noted below:—

(a) A few extra photos giving in general a view depending on the circumstances of each case should be taken.Points of
entry, exit, flight, pursuit, etc. become important in certain cases and should be photographed for a better reconstruction of
crime.

(b) The photos of deceased, either of victim or of a criminal, should be taken showing significant aspects of the body
and its relationship to the surroundings. Additional photos of the body to facilitate identification and character of wounds may
also be necessary in such cases.
(c) Sometimes, high-powered camera and artificial illumination may be necessary in a dark room where occurrence
might have taken place. The whole area may have to be filmed.

(d) To give an accurate idea of distances, a tape may be photographed along with the other items by keeping it at
appropriate places.

APPENDIX 78.

PACKING AND DESPATCH OF EXHIBITS


[RULES 167 (III). 205, 207(c), 217. 219, 272 AND CHAPTER 42.]
1. Packing.—(a) The knowledge of correct method of handling exhibits precedes the knowledge of packing them. If
handling is careless, packing becomes useless. The general rule in handling an article is to do as little as possible and to do it in
such a way as to leave the article as nearly as possible in its original conditions. At first, the I.O. is to decide how best to handle
an article in order that it does not disturb or obliterate any trace left by the person using it previously. Thus, the article should
be held only by such pails as are unlikely to have been touched by the previous user whose finger prints may be on them. Before
handling or touching or altering the position of an exhibit, a minute record in writing and if necessary, a photograph of the exact
spot where it was found h to be made. While arrangements for lifting the exhibits are being made, it is necessary to preserve
them. It may be necessary to cover with broken pitchers, etc., traces of blood/foot prints, etc., specially if they are in the open.
Thereafter, the objects should be handled one by one. The following special precautions are laid down :—

(i) A tumbler should be lifted with one finger on the rim and the thumb under the base.

(ii) A piece of broken glass should be held only by the edges.

(iii) A bottle should be lifted with one hand on the rim of the neck and the other hand under the base.

(iv) A knife or a fire-arm should be lifted with the fingers at the end of the blade and the handle.

(v) Pieces of paper, hairs and fibres should be lifted with forceps.

(vi) Charred/torn papers with still legible writings on them should be fixed on tracing paper or placed flat between two
sheets of glass of similar sizes on which a bed셠of gum can be spread. If necessary, the burnt paper may be made
◌֥

slightly damp so that it spreads easily. Such papers should be picked up with a folded piece of paper.

(vii) In case of fire-arm the packing will depend on the position of "safety catch" and cartridge case whether it was fired
or not. If the cartridge is found loaded or misfired it should be removed with as little manipulation as possible. In
no case, the trigger is to be pressed. In case of cartridge being fired and rendered harmless, the bolt or cartridge
need not be taken out as it may damage the markings on the fired cartridges in the chamber.

(viii) Similarly, tools in breaking locks or safes and pliers used for cutting wires,, must not be utilized for packing of
exhibits.

(b) The exhibits are to be sent to places as noted below :—

(i) Chemical, biological, etc. and Ballistics as per Rule 1257 to Director, Forensic Science Laboratory, Government of
Bihar, Patna-80001

(vi) Adulterated food stuff cases and liquor in Excise Act cases may be sent to Analyst and Excise Chemist respectively
in Public Health Laboratory, Patna-4.
(vii) Adulterated food stuff and liquor concerning police cases shall be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory. Patna.
(viii) For opinion on use of cement, sand, etc. in cases of misappropriation of building materials or evaluation of houses,
these are to be sent to National Test House, 11/1, Judges Court Road, Alipore, CaIcutta-27.
One kilogram of building construction material such as cement, concrete cement mixture, cement plaster, etc. together
with 500 gms. of sand and 500 gms. of cement which have been used to prepare the above mixture shall be sent
after keeping them in a bag. A letter should be kept in it in which full details of required tests should be given.
Scheduled fees for test of materials shall be adjusted by book transfer. For smaller projects, See P.M. Rule 1257,1(9).
(ix) Firearms and Cartridges which are of service pattern can be sent for routine examination to Reserve Armed
Inspector, headquarters unless further expert opinion is necessary from Forensic Science Laboratory, vide Rule
1257 (V)(l).
(x) Explosives.—Substances or objects, suspected of being explosives or potential explosives or unexploded bombs
shall be sent to the Controller of Explosives as per instructions in Appendix 26 after being rendered harmless for
which 1 elp of Forensic Science Laboratory Expert may also be taken. Explosives whether exploded or potential
may be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory if it does not involve risk of life. In case of doubt, the opinion of
Controller of Explosives should be taken. See Rule 1014 and clause 45 (b) of Appendix 101.
(xi) Spurious text books are sent to Text Book Committee, Education Department, New Secretariat, Patna.
(xii) For ordinary opinion on gauge of copper wire whether prohibited or not these are to be sent to S.D.O.. Telephone
or the Engineering Supervisor, P. & T (Electric Engineering Branches) as given in Appendix 79 CI. 20). For rest
See Rule 1263(a).
(xiii) For Nuclear Activation analysis. See Rule 1263(c).
2. Distinctive marks.—(a) Each mark or point on one particular article shall have a distinctive mark like A, B, C, etc.
attached to it by stitching a slip on it to signify those marks [Rule 217 (b)]. In case, stitching is not possible, it should be attached
to the article but no mark should be made on the article itself.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 334


(b) Label.—In addition to distinctive marks mentioned above, an article when kept in a packet or box should have a label,
and the particulars of case reference, etc. should be given on it. The case number and name of the deceased or person alive should
be noted on the label.
(c) These labels do not require the signatures of witnesses. Precautions should be taken to tie the labels in such a way as
not to interfere with the examination of exhibit in the laboratory. The labels can be enclosed in transparent cellotapes. Different
articles of one case may be kept in the same jar or packet separately with separate labels on each. If there are more than one such
packet/jar then these may be sent in one box or a bigger packet unless there is possibility of any special exhibit affecting the
other. Thus, articles belonging to accused and victims in the same case should be packed separately if there is possibility of
transference of any stain from one packet to the other. Exhibits after being packed in a box, should be covered with cloth) the
ends sewed together and sewed and sealed at a distance of every third inch. A carbon copy of the forwarding letter should
invariably be kept in the parcel enabling the exhibit to be connected with the respective case, original copy of which will be gent
through special messenger. Exhibits of the case should never be utilised for covering of other exhibits.
(d) The packets should finally be sealed with the official seal of the I.O. If it is not available, it can be sealed with his private
seal also. Seal of key, button, etc., cannot be placed as per Rule 217 (h).
The seals are to be placed in such a way that the packets cannot be opened without breaking the seal. A facsimile of the
seal is to be given in the forwarding note in P.M. form No. 210 separately as noted in Rule 218 (b) (5) and before folding the
forwarding note for despatch, a small pad of cotton shall be placed over and beneath the seal to avoid its breakage. Such a seal
shall be kept safely.
(e) In case of boxes sent by rail or Registered Postal Parcel, a copy of forwarding note sent by post can be kept inside the
box [Rule 218 (a)]. In case of the latter, the Postal Receipt is to be preserved for production in Court when required.
(f) "Control Sample" should be clearly labelled as such.
偐5
3. Precautions.—(a) The packing is to be done in such a way as to counteract the possibility of the following:—
(i) Loss during transit; (ii) contamination from packing or outside sources; (iii) mechanical damage due to jolting
or crushing; and (iv) risk of damage due to leakage, explosion, ignition, etc.
(b) For liquids, clean, dry glass bottles with narrow necks and glass stoppers should be used. In case of vomit, excrement
and the like, shall be placed in clean, wide mouthed bottles or glazed jars, and after closing them withthe stoppers or some cover,
candle after being melted shall be poured on it and then covered with Plaster of Paris so that air cannot enter in it and there is no
possibility of spirit being blown off. Thereafter, the mouth shall be tied strongly after covering it with leather or rubber piece and
sealing it. A seal of the Court shall be placed on the cloth tying it if a Magistrate can be available. If a liquid substance (or solid
substance also) is seized at the spot, and no seal of the Court is available, a seal of any witness witnesses together with the seal
of the Investigating Officer shall be used. Similarly in hospital it is essential for Police Officer and the Medical Officer examining
dead body that both should give their seals on the knot tying the bottles containing substance (s).
(c) Special care should be taken to avoid the following faults:—
(i) The use of wet or dirty containers or those with distinctive smell or those having dirty or unsuitable stoppers.
(ii) In sufficient protection of glass bottles or fragile containers during transit. The glass jars and bottles/ phials if
not packed with sufficient cushion to absorb jolts and prevent rattling during transit are

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 335


likely to be smashed. It is, therefore, essential that these should be packed with jute, saw dust, etc., in a wooden
box wrapped in cloth cover and sealed.
( iii) The use of thin card-board boxes which cannot be securely closed and which are liable to be crushed in transit.
Thus, the packing material is to be of sufficient strength to withstand rough handling. Different material objects
require different types of packing materials.
(iv) The use of ordinary envelopes for sending powders Unless these are in very small quantity.
(v) The lavish use of sealing wax. If polythene bags are used for volatile substance, which are inflammable materials,
care against fire is to be taken by special messenger carrying it.

Note.— In case samples of petrol, etc. are required to be taken from dealers, two bottles of required amount shall be seized and
sealed with the seal of raiding party as well as of the dealer. One bottle shall be left with the dealer after taking receipt
from hi m and the other is to be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory. The quantity of samples which are sent for
examination of adulteration should be at least 750 mili-litres.

(d) The integrity of exhibits and "Control Samples" must be safeguarded from the moment of seizure up to the completion
of examination in the laboratory. This is best done by packing, sealing and labelling immediately. In case these are sent by
special messenger, it is necessary to prove the continuity of the integrity of the samples and messenger will have to testify in
Court that what he had received was sealed and delivered in the same condition in the laboratory and the latter must certify that
they have compared the seals and found them to be correct.

4. Toxological.—(a) ft) In cases of suspected arsenic poisoning or in cases of persons addicted to arsenic since long
cuttings from nails and hair should be forwarded in dry condition. Traces of arsenic poisoning can be found
even in disinterred bodies after several weeks.

(ii) As (far as possible, the entire stomach washing as per 薐 Rule


◌֭ 1261 (c) should be sent for examination. If this volume is
large, at least 500 mili litres should invariably be sent taking care not to omit any particle or sediment settled at the bottom.

(b) Urine, both anti and post-mortem should be preserved and sent. In veronal poisoning, etc., about 75 per cent of the
poison is excreted in the urine and much of this before death. See Note to Rule 205 (b).

(c) For collection of vomit by scrapping earth See Rule 1260 (a).

5. For cattle poisoning cases, See Rule 205(c) and RM. Form No. 214. Examination of dried cattle dung which should be
sent -without the addition of spirit, may be useful. As a matter of fact, some cattle poisons rarely require the addition of spirit
for their preservation and this should be added only when necessary. A piece of the stomach, about a pound in weight, the
reticulum and a portion of the liver (about two pounds in weight! Should be cut off and placed in a clean glazed jar or bottle
which should be chilled in ice.

Note.— Pure rectified spirit can be obtained on permit from Excise Commissioner, Patna. Care should be taken that no vessel
containing fluid matter is quite filled and that bottles containing viscera with rectified spirit should not be more than
three quarters filled 80 that the viscera may be well shaken with spirit during transit.

6. Chemical.—Where the sample is alkaline liquid such as solution of caustic soda or caustic potash, a glass stopper is
unsuitable and should be replaced by an accurately fitting rubber of plastic stopper. Care must be taken to avoid the use of
stopper fitted with internal discs of metal foil in the case of acids and of stoppers fitted, with rubber, disc in the case of
substances-such as petrol, benzine, chloroform, or paraffin.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 336


. Packing for Biological Examination.—(a..) In case of moist stains of blood, a small portion of it should be cut out from
stained area and placed in a test tube, to which normal saline (0.9 per cent Sodium Chloride Solution)should be added. The
same should be stoppered and sent to the laboratory.
If blood is found in large quantities, transfer the blood with a clean eyedropper to a clean test tube with 1/5th vol. of
normal saline and close with a stopper.
(b) If semen stain is found in a moist condition remove as much seminal fluid as possible milking into a test tube. Add
distilled water just to cover fluid, put a stopper on the tube and send to laboratory. If this is not possible the procedure given in
(c) below is to be followed.
(c) These should be dried thoroughly and as rapidly as possible even by exposing them to sun, not directly but in shade
and by avoiding artificial heating. A note should be made as to the slate when found (e.g. whether blood noticed in fluid stage
or after clotting). Then the garments should be folded so as to place the stains as fiat as possible after covering them and stitching
with sheets of paper or cotton in such a way that unstained portions of clothing do not get contaminated by stained portion. If
the cloth is folded or twisted on the stained portions, the stains being brittle, may fall out or in case of semen, the spermatozoa
may lose their shape. In cases of exhibits that become brittle on drying, these should be carefully packed in cotton wool without
folding before being placed in a wooden box.
When an article is damp at the time of despatch it should be covered with wax cloth. Rule 219(2)(c).

In cases of death from shooting the tissues which require to be examined for traces of lead should be sent in leadfree
containers. A specimen of the unaffected tissues from the same body should also be sent, if possible. Pieces of tissues for
microscopical examination should not be more than V*n thick and be placed in a 10 per cent solution of Formalin in normal
saline (Formal saline) or in Zenker's solution.
8. Stained areas on articles of furniture and permanent fixtures
Ṡ֮◌ like doors and windows should be cut out with the help of
a carpenter if necessary, care being taken not to disturb the stains. These cuttings are to be uniform and of thin shavings and cut
by chisel and each has to be packed separately.
In case of furniture, if the Investigating Officer feels that-he is not able to tell which is a blood stain and which is not, he
should send the entire article.

9. (a) In case of blood stains on plaster or dried mud, all the dried blood crusts and the plaster or soil just, underneath, the
stain lifted in the same way as in Rule 1260 are to be sent after keeping in a clean soft paper or cellophane envelope but care
should be taken to avoid breaking the earth crust by rough handling. Clods of earth can also be packed carefully in cotton wool
or polythene bags. About one pound of well stained earth is ample for examination, An equal quantity of stain free earth is also
to be sent as "Control Sample'', Any worm or insect in the earth must be removed.
(b) As noted in Rule 219(2)(a), blood on hard surfaces should not be rubbed or moistened. [See Rule 1262(a)].

However, a clean scalpel may be used to scrap blood .from the surface and then keep it in a packet or put in a test tube
with distilled water. In case of polished surface like glazed tiles permanently fixed on the floor etc., it can be removed by
moistening a small one inch square of white., unstarched cotton fabric such as an old handkerchief with either distilled water or
physiological saline (0.9 per cent solution of sodium chloride) and slowly rubbing the stain off on to this. This fabric should be
allowed to dry at room temperature before being sent for examination.

(c) In case of dry leaves, it should be embedded in a mass of plasticine with stained side projecting uppermost: It should
be sent packed in a pill box with dry cotton and then in a large box to prevent crumbling off the stains.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 337


(d) If blood is found on a person or animal, moisten a clean piece of blotting paper or white fabric, 2 or 3 inches square
with salt solution (two teaspoonful of common salt in a quarter of water) and allow this to lie on the stain until the paper or
cloth is stained. Dry it in normal atmosphere and pack as before.
10. Clipping of pubic hair, which should be clipped close to skin, having seminal stains may be sent as they are after
drying in air in shade and wrapped in papers and packed in an envelope [See CI. 15(e)]. Swabs are used for lifting semen from
vaginal canal provided the victim agrees to medical examination as per Rule 215(b). These may be sent after proper drying. From
the other parts of body, seminal stains may be either scrapped by means of scalpel or may be lifted with a swab soaked in a saline
solution. These should be dried before sending to laboratory. Slides prepared from vaginal and cervical swab should be dried
and wrapped separately in a paper.
11. Control Sample.—(a) It is the standard material seized at any scene of crime from near the place of find of the physical
cine, for eliminating the matters unassociated and unconnected with the crime and physical clue.
(b) Blood samples may be taken out from the body of victim or accused provided that person has given consent in
writing before a Magistrate (Rule 215).
(c) The control sample can be sent in the manner given below :—
(i) Blood from living persons (victims or accused) (about 0.25 cubic centimeter) should be dried on chemically pure
filter paper. The blood is to be dried quickly but not in the sun. An unstained part of the filter paper should also
be sent.
(ii) About 0.5 cubic centimeter of clear serum is to be taken from a. test-tube in which blood (about 3 cubic
centimeter) has been allowed to clot under sterile conditions without disturbing the contents.
(iii) About 5 cubic centimeters of 5 per cent suspension of red blood cells in saline. In the alternative, 0.5 ex., of
serum turbid with red blood cells is taken after
薐◌֭ shaking the contents of the tube, the clear serum having been
removed.
(iv) Even a thick drop of blood sample taken on chemically pure filter paper as in (i) above and dried in the shade
would be sufficient.
(d) If liquid blood is to be sent, it should be sent in a sterile (auto clave) bottle in the refrigerator and pent to the laboratory
immediately. It must not be kept long at room temperature. If refrigeration is not possible, a piece of cloth soaked in the blood
and dried properly is much more suitable than liquid blood in a bottle.
(e) A separate label is required for "Control Sample" so that it is not confused with exhibits. A stain free portion,
clearly marked as "Control", for each item should also be sent but labelled separately.
12. Physical Examination (Rule 1263).—(a) Dust can be collected directly on a filter paper by means of a vacuum
cleaner and soil can be lifted by a spatula or spoon. Superfluous materials like stone chips, drug leaves, etc. should not be
mixed.
(b) For small samples of dry materials.—Clean labelled envelopes can be used provided these can be sealed in a manner
so that contents dc not spill out and get contaminated. For samples of dust and powder clean test tubes with well fitting stoppers
are suitable.
(c) Bigger objects like glass articles, stone slabs, metal pieces, etc. can be sent safely packed in suitable wooden crates.
(d) Fragments of broken glass should be embedded in plasticine as noted in clause 9(c).
Note.— Other exhibits available in minute quantities can be sent in folded filter papers, i.e. dirt, soil particles, metal fragments,
paint flakes, scrapping under the nails, wood fragments, paste, plaster etc.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 338


13. Ballistics Examination (Rule 1264).- {a) The inside of the fired empty cartridges sent for ascertaining use of suspected
weapon, can be marked by the Investigating Officer for identification as described in Appendix 79,Clause B(i) (g). In addition
to this, card containing signatures of witness/witnesses and of the Investigating Officer should be tagged as noted in clause 3
(b).
(b) Live cartridges (including misfired) should be labelled by tagging a card as described in sub-clause (a) above except
that the inside of the cartridge cannot be marked. These can be marked on the outside of the cartridge. The percussion caps of
both fired and live cartridges must be protected against rust by applying grease to prevent damage of surface and straitions.
The live cartridge can also be sent in envelopes duly marked and sealed using separate envelopes for each cartridge.
(c) The fired bullets if recovered and sent should be marked at the bottom and not on surfaces, and sent duly protected in
cotton wool in marked envelopes. If more than one bullets have been recovered, each should be packed in separate envelope
duly marked. Shots and pellets are too small to permit individual markings and therefore, these should be sent in separate
boxes bearing markings.

(d) While sending muzzle loading guns, the percussion cap, powder, pots and wads should be taken out and packed in
paper with identifying marks.

14. For burnt or charred papers, see clause l(a)(vi). In case of forged notes or documents care should be taken that the
papers are not folded unnecessarily [See Appendix 25, Clause 8 (c)].
15. Medico Legal.—(a) Sprinkling of common salt freely underneath and all over the dead body and not exposing the
body to the sun may help in preventing further rapid decomposition while sending it for post mortem examination. Another
method is to sprinkle with formalin, diluted to 10 per cent and to soak the body with strong solution of chloride of lime in
water. If the distance of mortuary is too long, it should be sprinkled with the dry powder of chloride of lime or with carbolic
powder but care should be taken to see that the body is saved from flies and is sent by a fast conveyance. See also Rule 207(c).
薐◌֭
(b) In the case of parts of a human body, immersion in spirit may be useful except in cases as noted in Rule 219(2)(b)
and instruction No. 23 in P.M. Form No. 40.

(c) For carrying dead bodies by train, instructions are given in paragraph 801,I.R.C.A. Coaching Tariff No. 21, part 1
according to which a corpse will not be conveyed by train unless (a) it is securely kept in airtight coffin and (b) accompanied
by a Registered medical practitioner's certificate showing that death has not been caused by an infectious disease. Some
responsible person on payment of fare must accompany the body. For carrying dead bodies suffering from cholera, etc. a
separate wagon in goods train is to be provided and in no case this is to be kept in a Brake Van or passenger compartment. (RM.
Form No. 226).

16. Bones taken from partly burnt bodies are to be packed without fracturing them. Before packing them, it may be useful
if the M.O. and I.O. jointly see the location of different bones at scene of recovery [Rule 207 (a) (iii)].
17. Finger prints of dead persons.—(a) Skins from the fingers of criminals are to be taken out by doctor as given in Rule
272 and sent in separately numbered envelopes. Before the finger skins are taken out, these should be washed with alcohol and
Benzine or methylated spirit as soon as a dead body is found. In case the fingers are greasy or oily, these are to be washed
with Ether. Where fingers are too dirty they should be gently washed with cloth dipped in warm water.

If there is rigidity in the fingers or wrists, their joints should be bent repeatedly until they become sufficiently flexible. In
case of difficulty, ink may be applied directly to the fingers with a rubber roller and the prints taken by holding a paper fixed on
a stout cardboard. Small pieces of paper 2" x 2" mav also be pressed over the inked fingers

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 339


and pasted over the finger print slip in proper columns. If the fingers cannot be rendered pliable, it may be possib . to take the
prints with the help of the "Curved spoons". See also the book "The Finger Print in Scotland Yard Mr. Cheril.
Taking of finger print with the help of curved spoon.

(Diagram No. 1)
(b) If the finger (and its skin) appear too much distorted and dried up, its partial boiling in hot water will facilitate taking
of finger prints.
If the shrinkage does not disappear, keep the fingers or hands immersed in a dilute solution of Sodium Hydroxide (1
to 3 per cent) for a short time and then dip the hands or fingers in warm water. This is advised when shrinkage is not so
apparent that keeping the fingers for a long time in Sodium Hydroxide may destroy the ridges
(c) Even after this, if the prints are not found adequately clean and decipherable, the medical officer holding post mortem
examination should be requested that the distalmost phalanges of the fingers should be cut as fol
lows:—:
(i) Make an incision across the middle part of the middle phalanx to cut the skin through and through.
薐◌֭
(ii) Dissect out the skin (actually separate it) from the underlying tissue (just as a cap may be taken off the head) either
by averting the skin or by making two or one clean lateral slits. Note that this separation of the skin should be
carried out only upto the distal interphalangeal joints.
(iii) Cut across the distal interphalangeal joint without damaging the skin, i.e., from under the separated skin [as
mentioned in (ii) above] and thus have an intact distal phalanx with its overlying skin undamaged and thus
also have the distal half of the skin of middle phalanx dangling from its base (like a hollow tube plugged
distally by the distal phalanx).

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 340


(iv) Suture the cut ends tightly by close-set, catgut or silk thread to close the hollow tube of skin behind the distal
phalanx.
(d) It would be advisable to take fresh prints of the separate digits just before putting them in preservative solution
(This will be the second set of finger prints).
(e) (i) When the specimen is bottled, the finger tips only should be placed in a separate container properly that is in
labelled containers. None of the containers should have in it any other part of the dead body
preserved.

(ii) The separated part is to be put in preservative solutions which is to be prepared at follows :-

Ten per cent solution of Formaline in normal saline. The latter will consist of sodium chloride, 0.85 grams in distilled
water 100 c.c. The above Formaline will be commercial Formaline (40 per cent) of which 22 c.c. is to be taken
and added to 75 c.c. of normal saline as prepared above.

(f) When body is partially decomposed.—(i) Severe the fingers (through M. O.) and keep them in properly labelled
bottles containing saline solution (strong) Here, use of formal dehyde is not advocated. Then clean the fingers with xylene or
soap and water but the operator should be careful not to destroy the ridges by destroying the upidermal layer of the skin. Then
take the prints. If necessary, continue the process of hardening and softening asadvised earlier.

(ii) If the shrinkage cannot be overcome, damp the fingers pressing hard the roller on them. For plastic regeneration of
digital extremities when skin is shrunk but no; decomposed :—

Inject glycerine or air (between 1 and VA c.c.) with a Hypodermic Syringe in the subcutenous layer of skin. One puncture
should be made on the top of the finger and one below the end of the phalange. When the skin has become fulbons (like a
bulb) seal off then two small punctures with the use of scotch tape otherwise the glycerine or air will escape. Then take the
prints.
셠◌֥
(g) If the body is floating in water, the skin from fingers may be peeled and kept in spirit or alcohol.
(h) As soon as the specimen is received at the Finger Print Bureau, the finger-prints should be again recorded. This will
be the third set of finger prints.

18. Some methods of packing articles containing finger prints are given herewith. If these articles carry blood stains or
contain other substances, these can be packed in the same manner.

When the article on which a finger print is found is portable, it should be securely and carefully packed before despatch
to the Finger Print Bureau. It is most essential to ensure that no damage is caused to the print in packing or transit either through
careless handling or by friction from the packing materials. In deciding on the method of packing, the Investigating Officer
should ask himself the question whether the method chosen is adequate to prevent the obliteration of the print and/or damage
to the article in packing or transit. Each article should be packed separately.

In packing the material objects, always use. if possible, screws instead of nails and make use of instruments given in
Investigation Box.

(a) Candle.—As marks on candles are generally useless unless impressed into the little trouble need be taken in packing.
The candle may be safely wrapped in cotton wool and enclosed in a wooden box. It is however better

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 341


If candle is putbetween two boards horizontally and sent in the
manner given in diagram

(b) Bottle.—There are several ways of packing a bottle. In


every case, there should be no difficulty in securing the
neck-end of the bottle. A screw through the end of the box
into the cork will do this.
Method 1.—The bottom of the bottle is secured by the means
of four corks which are stuck to the bottom of the box by
means of sealing wax. The corks will adhere in a surprising
manner provided the wood is slightly roughened. Two corks
are first fixed to the bottom, the bottle is placed in position
and then the remaining two corks are fixed. All the four
corks must touch the bottle. Tapering corks as shown in
diagram No. 3 should be used, as this ensures that the point 䜀-
of contact between the corks and the bottle is reduced to the
minimum.

Method 2.—The ends of the bottle are inserted into the holes
made in two thick pieces of wood, and a thin piece of wood
is fixed across the outside of each opening to prevent the
article from passing through. The two pieces are then
screwed to a base board which again is screwed to the base of
a wooden box. See diagram No. 5.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 342


(c) Knife : Method 1.—A shallow box, slightly less in length than the knife is all that is required for packing of this article. The
knife is inserted diagonally as shown in diagram No. 6.

Method 2.—The knife is battened down to a piece of wood and held in place by string or cord as shown diagram No. 7. The
cord is passed over such parts of the knife which do not possess latent prints.

(Diagram No. 7)
Method 3.—A knife can also be sent after packing horizontally into two flat perpendicular boards as given in diagram No. 8.

(Diagram No. 8)
(d) Firearms.—A twine is passed over the knurled grip and at the muzzle end near the front sight where no latent prints are
present. See diagram No. 9.

P.M.-III—23

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 343


(e) Tumbler or Drinking Glass.—Four thin nails are driven through a piece of plywood so that the bottom of the glass
or tumbler just fits into the space bounded by the nails. Again four nails are driven through another piece of plywood according
to the diameter of the top portion of the glass or tumbler. The space formed by the four nails thus encloses the top portion of the
glass or tumbler. In order to prevent the glass from falling, the plywood covers are held in place by fine wire or twine from the
top piece to the bottom piece of wood as shown in diagram No. 10.

(f) Electric bulb.—Fix to a base board larger than the diameter of the bulb, an electric lamp holder of the "screw-on"
type. The bulb, can then be fitted into the holder as shown in the figure below. The base board can then be screwed to the inside
of a box of convenient size as shown in diagram No. 11.

19. Method of packing Foot-print.—(a) Different methods of making casts of footprint by Plaster of Paris,
molten wax, etc., are given in P. M. Appendix 23.

(b) A foot-print cast is brittle. The cast should be kept in wooden box on strips of small pieces of soft wood and then
covered with cotton wool and paper cuttings or with saw dust. On the cover of the box, words "top" and "bottom" should be
written so that the box is not overturned unnecessarily.
20. List of important instruments in an investigation box is given below. Where "Iodine fuming gun" is kept
in the box the Iodine Crystals should be kept separately out of the box to prevent damage to other instruments.
These 'items' are useful for packing the exhibits also.—
In the LID Compartment:

1 Powder brushes Two pieces.

2 Clamping boards, 30 x25 cms Two pieces.


3 Ditto, of size 28 x 23 cms. Two pieces.

4 Ditto, of size 25 x 20 cms. Two pieces.

APPENDIX 79
INVESTIGATION
(RULE 167)
GENERAL
A. The foremost principle is to remember that conclusions are to be arrived at different stages of investigation from patent facts as
they are found during investigation and the I.O. is not to form an opinion from accidental statements of almost no significance and often
purely hypothetical from which he may find difficult to get rid of
B. (i) The detection in any case is based on following data :—
(a) Obvious knowledge attributable to the criminals.
(b) Motive.
(c) Opportunity.
(d) Time of Operation.
(e) Dress and Descriptive Roll of the criminals.
(f) Their dialect.
(g) Implements used.
(h) Nature of violence used.
(i) Nature of articles stolen or aimed at.
(j) Mode of arrival and retreat by the criminals.
薐◌֭
(ii) Probable physical causes that may be associated with different forms of crime and instructions for drawing the sketch and
taking of photo of scene of crime are given in Appendix 77. The methods of packing exhibits are given in Appendix 78. The form of
summons for calling a person for evidence is P.M. Form No. 143.
C. Regarding use. of dog squad and identity kit, see Appendix 83 and Appendix 21, clause 10 respectively.
I. MURDER AND UNNATURAL DEATHS.
(Rule 199)
(1) Legal aspect.—(i) Lawful homicide includes cases falling under the General Exceptions (Sections 76 to 92andl00,I.P.C).
(ii) Unlawful homicide includes—
(a) culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Section 299);
(b) murder (Section 300).
Causing the death of a child in mother's womb is not homicide if it is done with the consent of the mother and after taking opinion
of two doctors independently when there had been a failure of contraceptive or ill health of mother and it is then a case of medical
termination of pregnancy. In cases not covered above, causing death of a, :hild in the mother's womb is not homicide but is a case of
criminal abortion or miscarriage.
In case of discovery of the dead body of a new born child which appears to be a case of murder, the medical officer is to be
consulted for opinion on whether the child was still-born or born alive.
(iii) Rash and negligent homicide (Section 304-A). (iv) Abetment
of suicide (Sections 305 and 306,1.P.C.).

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 347


An insane person who might have committed a crime in lucid interval is to be kept under observation for the M.O. to form
a definite opinion.
(2) (a) For recording dying declaration (Rule 169) with a tape recorder if possible, dis-internment of dead bodies
[Section 176(3), Cr.P.C], deaths in Police custody [Rules 203(6)], death of foreigners [Rule 203(a)]. un - dentified dead
bodies (Rule 272 and Appx. 78 clause 17), holding P.M. exam. [Rules 203(h), 207, Section 174(3 Cr.P.C. and P.M. Form
No. 40] and for sending its report (Rule 209), sending viscera (Rule 216), instructions are given already.
In P.M. Form No. 38 (Inquest) Col. 10, where an I.O. cannot come to a correct finding on the face of it as M the cause of
death, it is advisable to leave it to the M.O. for a finding. In dead body challan (P.M. Form No. 39). a brief history of the case
is to be noted but it should be ensured that important data or details are not missed.
(b) A requisition should accompany the Dead Body Challan for preservation of viscera in all suspicious cases and in cases
of victims being unidentified. This would not, of course, be necessary in regard to the victims or" accidents, serious rioting,
fatal assault on the spur of the moment, indisputably accidental deaths due to falls, etc. It has, however, to he borne in mind
that there may be cases where murders have been committed in various way.- and body subjected to look like accidents, e.g.,
thrown on the road to be crushed by passing vehicle, or railway track to be torn to pieces by the running train.
(c) See Rule 203 for unnatural deaths. However, in the event of occurrences like air raids, earthquake, flood, epidemic,
etc., when casualties are heavy, it will be difficult for the police themselves to conduct investigations in all such cases under
Section 174(i), Cr.P.C. In such cases, separate inquest is to be held for each body involved in the catastrophe though one report
is to be submitted for all such dead bodies.
(d) First of all the victim is to be examined to make sure that death has actually occurred. In case of slightest suspicion
of there being life, help from a doctor should be obtained at once.
(3) Wounds.—(a) Fracture of rib or any bone may  beֶ◌ detected on X-ray and where evidence is found of an assault of
that nature and no opinion of doctor has been given, the doctor may be requested for the same.
(b) The difference between incised and lacerated wounds is given in Medical Jurisprudence and police office- should also
know that sometimes wounds on bony prominences with blunt weapons like split bamboo may pro duce an wound similar to
an incised wound. The lacerations are minute and may be seen with a pocket lens carefully.
(c) Injuries to internal organs without any external appearance may be found on liver, spleen, etc. For example passing of
a cart wheel or a motor car wheel over the abdomen may leave no marks of external injury on the abdominal walls on account
of its yielding nature.
(d) Gun shot wounds.—When a bullet is lodged inside the body, there is only one wound of entrance and the other wound
of exit' is absent. When fired from a close range say within 6 feet, the wound of entrance shows charring of skin, singering
of hair and tattooing of the margins. Rifle wounds are much more extensive than shot guns even if a bullet is used in the latter
case. The exit wound of a rifle shot is so big and extensive that it cannot be mistaken.
The distance from which a firearm was fired can be judged as follows :-
(i) Scorching, blackening, tattooing, singering and one single injury known as 'rat hole' are seen in case of shot guns
when the distance is from near contact to about 4 feet. The distance also may be further determined from cone
of dispersal, location of empty cartridge, felt wad, etc., by a ballistics expert

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 348


(ii) If a light revolver is used for suicide, it may be found firmly held in the hand due to cadaveric spasm but in a
case of murder, the weapon is generally not left at the scene of crime unless it has been dropped.
(4) Infanticide.—See P.M. Form No. 40. instructions in clause 22 and Rule 205(f)(iii)-Legally, there is no distinction
between homicide and infanticide. Common methods of latter are (i) Asphyxia-Suffocation, throttling, etc., (ii) immersion
of child's mouth and nostrils in milk or pressing it with the breast (an easy method) or cutting the cord and either not tying
it at all or not tying it properly which causes it to die. If the alleged mother is traced out, she should also be sent to the
medical jurist for finding out if there are signs of recent delivery in her and whether the period of puerperium falls within
ex-trauterine age of the child.
(5)Death from violent asphyxia.—(a) Homicidal hanging vrs. suicidal hanging—See Appendix 77, clause 5 (iii) and
Rule 205 (d)
(b) Suicidal poisonings vrs. Homicidal poisoning.

As given in inspection of P.O., Appendix 78,1.O. has to look for a parting letter, reason for taking the poison and the
nature of the poison to suggest if it is suicide. Previous enmity or other motives for the crime and the nature of the poison
used will suggest; homicide. Opium per mouth or morphia by injection, potassium cyanide and copper sulphate are
commonly used for suicide due to facility of administration and quick death, while Arsenic, Dhatura seeds and Aconite root
are used for homicide. Substances having strong corrosive action or bad taste or smell such as acids, etc., are never used for
homicide. If poison is not administered surreptitiously it will involve force leading to injuries on other parts of body. Pila
Kanail (yellow oleander) is used for criminal abortion by keeping in the genitals and if death has been caused on account of
it, it becomes relevant for enquiry.
(6) Suffocation.—It is a form of violet asphyxial death
◌֥ by closure of mouth or nostrils, depletion of oxygen in
atmosphere or due to inhalation of carbon monoxide, etc. Vomitted food matter may be drawn into air passages during
swallowing and food may get into air passages. It is also caused by inirusion of foreign bodies in the air passage (choking).
The incident may be caused either by accident or by force on victim.

In the latter case, due to resistance of victim, there will be marks of violence, e.g., bruises, abrasions round legs, cheeks
and scratches about nose, fracture of ribs, etc.
(7) Drowning Cases.—See P.M.R. 255(e). A body decomposes half the rate in water than in air but once the body is
taken out of water, its decomposition in 1 day will be equal to 7 to 8 days of decomposition in air. If body remains submerged
for long in. water due to its being tied in bricks and gunny bag, etc., or in damp soil decompo sition is checked and it gets a
waxy looking appearance, greasy feet, etc., called Adipocere. From this change, approximate time of death can be given
even after 2—3 months. The common cause of death in drowning is Asphyxical, i.e., water entering the stomach and lungs
but if death happens by shock, fright, epileptie fit, skull fracture or epilepsy (sudden, paralysis in high blood pressure/among
old people) there may not be any water in the stomach or if present, it may be water drunk by the person before drowning.
Presence of water in stomach, there fore, is not a positive sign of drowning. If water, gravel or certain types of weeds and
vegetation are found in the bronchi near their entrance into the lungs, it is surely a case of death by drowning. Thus, I.O.
should collect the
weeds and vegetation from the water for subsequent comparison with any material found in the lungs and stomach. When
decomposition sets in a, drowned body, gas of decomposition in the intestines pressing from above and those of the stomach
pressing from within squeeze out the stomach content, food water, etc., though the mouth and the stomach may be found
empty on post-mortem. However, by such examination it will be possible to state whether the person was alive before

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 349


entering into water or the person was already dead and dead body was then thrown into water. In a case of drowning, the
presumption is in favour of accident and also suicide. However, in homicidal drowning, the victims are generally children and
infants and. in accidental drowning, victims are mostlty non swimmers but in rare cases, swimmers also die trying to save non-
swimmers.

(8) (a) Death due to arson.-—In a case where body is not completely burnt out, marks of injuries may be found and a
medicolegal expert may possibly ascertain whether death preceded the fire by examining the wind pipe into which soot particles
will not. enter if the person was dead before the fire. It is, an important clue to determine the truth or falsity of a murder case.

(b) Death due to lightning.—The clothings may be burnt or torn off the body. At times, there may be found streaks of
renders which appear arranged like the branches o£ a live called arborescent marks or lightning prints.Ornaments, coins, etc.,
become fused by the action of electric current and produce marks of burns on the skin immediately under them. Steel articles
are magnetised. Shoes, if worn at the time, may burst open.

(c) Domestic Electric Current.—Death is mostly accidental. Electric burns resemble, more closely post-mortem burns than
ante-mortem burns.

(9) Suicide.—In a suicide, there may be cases where an individual made a number of trial cuts at places other than the
one where he made the fatal cut. There is nothing to prevent a murderer who has knowledge of these circumstances from
adding superficial cuts after making the fatal one in order to give the impression of a suicide. However, presence of two or
more serious wounds may be signs of homicide.

When a person is left handed, he commits suicide by cutting his abdomen from right to left. If he is right handed, he
◌֥
commits from left to right.

(10) (a) Rigor mortis.—After death, the body remains supple or soft for about 2 hours (average) and then rigor mortis
(cadaveric rigidity) starts from the head downwards. It takes about 2 hours to develop fully and lasts for about 20 hours. It
then starts disappearing in the same order, viz., from above downwards.

(b) Instantaneous Rigor Mortis (Cadaveric Spasm).—In some cases when the person is in a state of great excitement,
e.g., a person committing suicide by cutting his throat or a soldier in action the state of primary relaxation is absent and rigor
mortis starts instantaneously. This phenomenon is of great medicolegal importance.

(11) Estimating age of blood stains.—This is determined by the amount of coagulation, drying and change in colour that
has taken place. In general, the older the blood stains are the blacker they become.

(a) Age is determined by the number of teeth and sockets. Height is determined by multiplying the length of a bone
recovered, if any, with a certain multiple. "Superimposition of skull" can also be done in Forensic Laboratories with the help
of photographs for helping in identification.

(b) Sex among other things in skeletons is determined most reliably by the two pubic bones and the sacrum.
The latter is short and wide and sharply curved forwards in the lower half in case of female and long and narrow and uniformly
curved forwards along its whole length in case of male.

(12) Action under Section 107, Cr.P.C. against witch doctors (i.e. "Jangurus") may prevent murder of so- called
innocent witch.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 350


2 (I) DACOITY AND ROBBERY

(1) Preventive, measures.—Dacoities. robberies or other professional crimes will recur unless detected and gangs
liquidated.
Real prevention, therefore, lies in detection. Other measures are—

(a) General and also selective patrol—Sometimes armed patrolling is to be done to restore confidence
and intercept dacoits. Normally, half union batch patrol of rural police is the only practicable solution
in dark period and occasionally in bright period, as noted in Appendix 8.

In Datmin and tribal areas in Santhal Parganas etc., patrolling is done in day time on account of obvious difficulty in
case of rains as well as possibility of meeting snakes and other wild animals at night. Moreover, these dacoities
sometimes occur in day time and villagers are forced to pay cash as "fines".
(b) Blocking roads and approaches as given in Rule 377.
(c) Surveillance of active criminals, both local and foreign.

(d) Unobtrusive watch in brothels, drinking shops, river ghats, melas, Bazar, railway stations, hotels and
other likely places or public resort or loose and bad characters specially in dark period. Special powers
are given for this under Section 23, Police Act.

(e) Unobtrusive watch over known or suspected receivers of stolen properties.

(f) Bad livelihood cases in batches or single.

(g) Watch over harbourers of criminals who are liable under Section 216-A, IPC for prosecution.
◌֥
(h) Scrutiny of gun licences and examining stock of ammunitions to prevent supply of arms and ammunitions by
undesirable persons to criminals.
(i) Anti-Dacoity operations.

(j) Setting up Village Resistance groups as given in Rule 1278.

(k) Keeping a set of reliable informers but precautions are to be taken against them who may try to cheat police. For
this it requires some training in handling criminal sources, police officers should not lose temper on "informers"
if the information is found to be false.
(1) Watch on prosecutions pending in Court.

(m) In all cases where convicts of cases under Sections 399/400/401/402,1.P.C. and Arms Act are to he released,
information is to be sent to C.I.D. by P.R. Officers before release so that they are photographed.

(n) Keeping a watch on Akharas where sometimes training is given for committing dacoity.

(o) Watch on manufacturers of country -made arms.

(p) A liberal grant of gun licences in crime affected areas to deserving persons.

(q) Reformatory, factories and institutions are to be set up for rehabilitation of dacoits and their new generation.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 351


(2) Preliminary Investigations.—(a) Thorough knowledge of crime by a study of Modus Operandi [including"war cry""]
and maintaining proper crime maps.
(b) Prompt recording of F.I.R. noting therein important details.
(c) As soon as a dacoity case has been registered, constables should be sent in different directions to inform chaukidars
to make secret enquiries. Those chaukidars should also be asked to inform other bordering chaukidars who in turn will
inform others. These chaukidars should also be told to mobilise at the P.O. where the Investigating Officer by that time might
have also reached. He should ask each chaukidar in loneliness and then give him specific names to keep secret watch. While
doing this, the I.O. must not divulge his theories to complainant or chaukidar.
(3) Examination of the scene.—Efforts should be made to find the places of assembly of the culprits before occurrence
and also to follow through line of approach and retreat as far as possible for clues. Stumps of cut bamboos near the place of
occurrence might indicate that some of the criminals bad assembled there and had not come prepared from their homes.
Informations are to be collected for purchase of abnormal quantity of bidis, betels, drinks, foodstuffs, etc. which indicate
the places of association before the occurrence and may spot out the local contact of the gang.
(4) (a) The M.O. Bureau should be consulted for past cases of similar M.O. The specific points of Modus Operandi are
(i) class of persons attacked/property, (ii) method of entry, (iii) means employed, (iv) object of committing crime, (v) time of
occurrence, (vi) style and (vii) Tale (posing as an agent etc. or as police officers in association with others or alone), (viii)
Transport, (ix) Trade mark i.e. things done after crime has been committed. It must however be understood that cases with
slightly different modus operandi in the same locality may be the work of one and the same gang. Too many gangs will not
work in a single area. Small significant clues in divergent modus operandi will give the identity of gang. A gang may have some
new members always which may cause difference in modus operandi but small clues tallying in every case might give out
which gang is active.
 ֶ◌
(b) Crime maps with particular reference to the movements of wandering gangs in C.I. Gazettes on or about the date of
occurrence are to be studied. Effort is to be made to find out some contact of foreign gang in police- station area such as (i)
relationship, (ii) friendship, etc. Once the contact is located, the detection is solved.
(c) If there is false implication or information the motive behind this is to be found out but at times, there may
not apparently be any motive and due to false notions in mind, the names are given out.
(d) Rewards from "secret service funds" are to be given to informers liberally. It is to be realised however that there cannot
be adequate reward in terms of cash for all informations leading to recovery due to limited Govern ment funds. However,
some criminals volunteer to give information to an Investigating Officer on account of differences over sharing of booty, etc.
(e) Road dacoities, bank dacoity, river dacoity, etc. require special types of investigation and some may occur in broad
day light. In any dacoity, mass arrests without proper grounds are prohibited and unless real culprits, are brought to book,
further crime cannot be prevented.
(f) Prisoners in custody for similar crimes are to be interviewed.
(5) Generally, a gang does not walk more than 10 miles from the place of assembly to the victim's house. If the gang is
suspected to have travelled from a long distance by bus or train, a list of those suspected reasonably in past cases occurring
within a radius of 20 miles from the place of occurrence in last ten years should be made out for enquiries for a local link who
invited the gang.
If the gang is suspected to have come from a short distance, all convicts and suspects of dacoity cases who are residing
within a radius of 10 miles from there should be made out for enquiries.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 352


(II) BURGLARY. THEFT AND OTHER PROPERTY OFFENCES
(i) Peculiar Characteristics of Burglary.—(a) There is an important difference between dacoity and burglary or theft. The
dacoits operate in gangs and it is comparatively easy to detect it as even one suspect if arrested and properly interrogated might
become an approver and give some clues hoping to get pardon under Section 306, Cr.P.C. which is not applicable to burglars
except in limited number of cases triable in the, Court of Sessions. Burglars operate singly or in small groups and the detection
of all gangs is more difficult. The techniques in a dacoity case are few while in burglary and theft cases, these are too many. The
various methods of entering through door, window, etc. without disturbing victims require special skill and efficiency in their
professions which is his modus operandi. There should thus he group study of burglary cases.
(b) Specialisation.—Even in case of same M.O., i.e. sendh cutting, some specialise in cutting big or small holes, some in
rectangular, square or circular holes. If there is a round and small hole, it might indicate that the burglar is a lean and thin person
or a teen-aged boy who goes inside and unbolts all doors or windows for others to enter.
(c) "Bagli" or boring hole in the wall to open the latch of the door is generally resorted to by wandering gangs.(Appendix
12). Opening lock with false keys is done usually by ex-servants, neighbours or those skilled in it but not by aristocrats in this
crime. Breaking the lock is usually done in flat type of houses in day time when inmates are away. Sendh is the usual easy
method in which at least 4 men are required. Roof hole in the premises of a shop requires only two men i.e., one man to go down
and send articles through a rope to another on the top. In case of newly designed decorated grills, cloth rinsed with strong acids
may be used to melt the soldered joints of plates or rods in the same way as slow burning cow dung is kept at the bottom end of
the rods in wooden frames to make the end free. Sometimes a stick is also designed in such a way that when it is pulled, it takes
the shape of a ladder to be placed against the wall of first or higher flats with the help of balcony and costly things arc pulled out
by hand or another stick with a hook. Again, if a burglar has tried to break a window and cut the rods at several places it would
show that the cutter did not have prior knowledge of the particular weak rod in the window. It might also show the burglar is not
a past master in art.
Expert and audacious criminals commit extraordinary acts
◌֥ not associated with the object of crime such as disturbing beds
by resting on them, consuming food, committing nuisances, poisoning dogs. Expert burglars smoke cigarette which does not
glow but gives a smoke which when puffed on the face of victims makes them sleep more deeply.
(d) Method of concealment of stolen property.—The concealment is done : (a) below the floor, (b) inside the walls
(specially in mud built houses), (c) in the thatch of the roof, (d) under flower beds, (e) under dirty and torn rags giving appearance
of a quilt, (f) under or top of some tree, (g) under a stone in a lonely place (usually done by wandering gang), (h) under a nebulous
heap, (i) in shallow ponds etc. A metal detector can help in locating it in some of these places.
(e) Varying M.Os.—Sometimes, a gang of criminals consisting of "experts" on different forms of crime, (example
wandering gangs) commit different types of crime by accident depending on different situations. Thus, if a house of mud is found
on the way. they would cut by a "Sendh Cutter". If in course of thieving expedition for long distances they would find an
impregnable house, they would out window bars or in desperation commit robbery as the gang has to depend on money for
subsistence.
(f) Exceptions.—There are no doubt some apparent exceptions. A criminal might have started as a cycle lifter and after
being convicted in a case, picked up association with others inside the jails and learnt an art of commit ting another crime like
burglary. A burglar might as well adopt a new crime of cheating, an entirely different M.O. than either burglary or theft. This is
done also to defraud police, more so because the new technique of crime employed is easy and convenient to adopt. However,
if a criminal is sufficiently wary to vary his methods, he seldom does so completely.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 353


(g) Property stolen.—It is however important to mention the nature of property stolen as it is to indicate what type of
property was not touched by the culprit. If no theft took place the reason why no property was taken away should be carefully
gone into because the thief was either disturbed or he did not get the property he was after.
(h) Prevention.—If there is an outbreak, note (i) its frequency and time, prevalence in particular season and place, (ii)
peculiarity in the crime, (iii) similarity in modus operandi and in (iv) nature of stolen property (causes may be non-reporting
or suppression of crime), (v) famine conditions, (vi) influx of outside criminals during melas, etc., (vii) sudden dislocation of
labour in industrial areas causing loss of employment or lock-out, etc., (viii) defective preventive patrol apparent from lot of
indiscriminate arrests under Section 109/110, Cr.P.C. and (ix) lack of proper supervision over work of thana staff and their
connivance, if any. A special squad for investigation of burglary cases is to be set-up. False or exaggerated cases are reported:
for making claims on Insurance companies.
(i) Education.—Public are to be educated by crime exhibitions (Rule 1208) leaflets etc. in anti-crime measures and
made aware of safety devices in doors, windows, etc. They should be specially asked not to keep valuables in a room which
is not occupied by inmates but to send them to banks etc.
(ii) THEFTS
(A) Copper wire thefts
(a) Legal aspect.—See Appendix 101, clause 59 and clause 60. For getting expert opinion whether a, recov ered copper
wire is of Standard Gauge or not, a sample of 30 cms. of lengh of wire should be sent to Telegraph Department as given in
Appendix 78, clause l(b)(iii). The help of Forensic Laboratory should be obtained if opinion is required for comparison of
tool marks on cut ends with the recovered instrument as given in Rule 1263
(a). It can also be checked if the circular facial cut ends of recovered copper wires coincide or not. The die marks on the
surface of wire which are caused when the wire is drawn in the form of fine striations or linear marks can prove under a
comparison microscope that the recovered piece came from the same stock. Such an examination can also be done in any
◌֥
Science College in eliminating cases before sending to expert.
(b) Stolen copper wires are used in manufacture of brass utensils. These wires after being cut are sometimes sent by
Railway Parcels with "Self delivery" in fake names to far off places from outlying Railway Stations near the place of
occurrence. Traps should be laid at destinations to catch persons who come to take delivery. Toddy hawkers expert climbers,
vagrants, etc. and dismissed P. & T. employees in neighbourhood of P.O. often indulge in cutting wires at isolated places or in
removing underground Railway Traction Wires or P. and T. cables.
(c) If the cut wires are detected lying at a place, an unobtrusive watch is to be maintained to catch criminals
when they visit the place to collect the same.
(d) In places such as lonely spots where copper wires thefts have repeatedly taken place, the officer should make
arrangements with the co-operation of the staff of Electricity, P. & T. as the case may be, for arranging a concealed vigil
with portable telephone sets. When the portable telephones are connected to the wires and the offenders cut the wire, a
peculiar buzzing sound is heard, indicating the direction when they should rush and apprehend the culprits redhanded.
(B) Pick-pockets
(a) Some notorious pick-pockets come from 'Mediterranean region and I.C. P.O. has a list of veteran crimi nals for
watch at the time of international meetings.
(b) Often the victim's attention is diverted by some act as lightening cigarette, elbowing chin or hitting body and
spectacles, thrusting or pinning umbrellas, trampling foot, posing as a fellow passenger offering smoke or eatables and the
articles are moved by cutting the packets with blade etc. This often happens near counters of Banks or shops or in crowds
watching dancing girls in melas or among people engaged in hearing interesting speeches of salesmen.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 354


(c) Persons arrested redhanded should be interrogated for discovery of the gang. The public is to be educated to form a
'Queue' system at bus stands, cinema counters, milk booths, etc. and photos of pick-pockets should be displayed at such places.
Generally pick-pockets have an offensive appearance and have fine long fingers which they use as a pair of scissors. They
often carry a coat or rag to hide their hands.
(C) Theft of priceless antiques, etc.
(a) Sometimes, stolen bronze images from temple or stone coins from museum, etc, are concealed in nearby ponds or
bushy growth from where these are removed secretly later to "Curio dealers" for being smuggled abroad.
(b) The C.B.I, also maintains microfilms of important art objects in this country for identification. For giving information
to I.C.P.O. after theft [see Rule 410(11) (g)]. The custom authorities at air ports/docks, etc., should also be alerted to be watchful.
(D) CATTLE THEFTS.

Sometimes big sendhs are cut in mud walls in villages to remove several heads of cattle in one night and returned after
taking some money {i.e. panha) or sold in distant cattle markets or butchered overnight. Animals are at times flayed alive at
night near the place where they are kept tied for their skin with/without their tongues having been cut. The gang is composed of
experts in this trade whose lists should be kept at police-stations. As evidence is generally of identification, descriptions of
missing or stolen cattle must be recorded immediately. See Form given in Rule 123(d) for missing cattle.
3. ARSON
(a) The investigation must firstly make sure that the fire was not accidental. The fire, if not accidental, may have been
caused by the victim himself or by some other person. A fire set to his own house maliciously by any person so that it may
spread to other houses in the neighbourhood and, thus, cause damage to them, would also come within the purview of Section
436,1.P.C. A fire which has been set by a mentally deranged person
◌֥
would not bring this person within the mischief of Section
435 or 4361. P.O. But on this point investigation should be clear to show that the accused was in fact, suffering from mental
derangement and had caused fire while so deranged mentally. Enquiries into the previous conduct of the accused are necessary.

(b) The Investigating Officer should invariably try and locate the point of fire. This can be done by a careful examination
of the place of occurrence and in this work the assistance of the local Fire Service Officers or even the experts of the Forensic
Science Laboratory may be enlisted. These enquiries can be useful only if preliminary information regarding the person who
first saw the fire and the action that he took to extinguish it, is known. Other persons, who came to the spot of fire at the early
stages, should be examined carefully to obtain as far as possible, an accurate account of the nature and descriptions of the fire.

(c) If the fire was caused accidentally, it may be due to dropping of cigarette ends or even match sticks half lit in a careless
manner. The fire may also be a resultant of electric short circuit. Therefore, the power line should be carefully checked.
(d) In case of an intentional fire, the reason may be to obtain benefit of fire insurance or to cover a crime or malicious act.
Therefore, the motive for the arson should be investigated fully.
(e) In arson cases, generally the culprit wishes to establish an alibi and, therefore, "delayed action" method for setting fire
may be used. This should be investigated fully. The fire may be caused by planting phosphorous, or using liquids such as
gasolene or Ether with low flash point, which do not require open flame for ignition, or applying gases which mixed with air
possess excellent ignition properties or setting of mechanical devices such as

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 355


clock mechanism or using ropes or toilet papers, etc. soaked with alcohol or similar fluid to spread the fire after mild
ignition. Enquiry on these points would, therefore, be very important.

(f) Some other important points of investigation are given below :—

(i) The fire incident should be worked out backwards and, in particular, traces of smoke and charring should be
observed bearing in mind that fire generally travels vertically rather than horizontally unless fairly cumbustible
material is available in the neighbourhood, in a lateral position. In the case of wood, the burning of any one
side of the wooden material would indicate the direction from which the fire came. In this matter, the presence
of varnish on the wood would also be helpful in indicating the direction from which the fire started.

(ii) Doors and windows should be examined carefully to determine whether they were locked before the fire started
or they had been forced open to cause arson.

(Hi) Whether fire extinguishing equipment, if available, was functioning or was deliberately put out of order?

(iv) Whether there was any possibility of spontaneous combustion?

(v) What was the behaviour of the persons in the neighbourhood and if there have been previous fires of that nature
in the neighbourhood?

(vi) Whether any valuables were also burnt or were removed before the arson?

(vii) Whether gas lamps and such other fittings were in order and if there was any smell in the neighbourhood after the fire
e. g. of gasolene, phosphorous, kerosene, terpentine, or other cumbustible material?
◌֥
(viii) Whether items of little value were burnt and the more valuable items were saved ?

(ix) Whether there is any indication of the burning of Cash Books, Ledgers, and records specially on the eve of audit
when there is suspicion of defalcation having taken placer?

(x) Whether any person is taking special interest in the Police enquiries and the reasons for the same?

(xi) Were there any time fuses in the area?

4. RIOT CASES.

(a) Legal aspect.—The ingredients of the offence are indicated in Section 146,1.P.C. If force or violence is used by a
member of the unlawful assembly which is not in conformity with the common object of the assembly, the responsibility for
the act will rest specifically on the individual concerned. It is necessary that the common object of the unlawful assembly is
fully investigated. It would be explicit to show whether by use of language, slogans, exhortations, signs, placards, pamphlets,
etc. or even by general conduct and conversation, it can be reasonably inferred that the assembly was acting conjointly for
committing the unlawful act. A mere show of force is also not adequate but violence should be resorted to If the assemly splits
into two parties with different common object, they cannot be tried together as each has a separate common intention.

(b) It is necessary to get from each complainant an exhaustive list of witnesses and if there are common witnesses relied
by both the parties, they may give a faithful account of what happened.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 356


The Investigating Officer should decide which version of the two recorded cases appears to be true and what material
evidence is available to prove the case or disprove the counter case. Then only charge-sheet should go in one case. But if it is
found that both the parties acted in a premeditated manner and exceeded the right of private defence when there was time to
take recourse to public authorities, then charge-sheet may go in both the cases. Unless there is clear evidence to this effect,
charge-sheeting of only one case may be advisable depending on facts of the case and it indicate that the police have gone into
the matter in depth and drawn conclusions based on solid evidence. The decision in this matter should be taken carefully in
consultation with superior officers. The statement of each witness should be recorded carefully and the position of the witnesses
named should be recorded so that it may be determined if they should be reasonably expected to know all facts. This is
conveniently done on a sketch map.
(c) Where counter cases are investigated, the evidence of the witnesses need not bb recorded in detail in both the case
diaries. A reference to the statements in one diary could be made giving details in the other diary.
(d) An attempt should be made to seize the relevant weapons of assault. This would give a clue to the injuries found on
the wounded persons.
(e) As identification chart is very important, the statements of witnesses indicating identification and weap ons of assault
carried should be entered into a chart to enable assessment of the evidence to be made. That some identification is uncorroborated
or there is contradiction on the point in the prosecution evidence would be very-valuable for evaluating the evidence of
witnesses.
(f) The best way is to prepare a memo of evidence and judge its quality against each accused so that unimpor tant accused
are not sent up in C.S. In the chart, it should be shown specially against each accused whether he (1) was arrested red-handed,
(2) was identified by name or on T.I. parade by any of the injured P.W. (3) had injuries on his person, (4) was found with any
incriminating evidence, such as weapon, blood marks and other medico legal
evidence or other objects, etc.  ֶ◌

(g) In regard to the injuries, if the use of fire-arms is in the evidence, the wads of the gun cartridges recovered should he
preserved as these give clue to the origin of the weapon, viz. whether it was a breach loader or muzzle loader. See Rule 1264
and Appendix 78, clause l(vii). So far the necessity of identification of suspects is required, see Appendix 77, clause 5(iii).
(h) Whenever theft is also involved, the matter should be carefully proved if the removal of property was the principal
motive as that would bring the incident under the category of Docoity. The I. O. must not give any indication wf an attempt to
treat a dacoity case as a case of rioting with theft. To this end the types of persons involved in the crime are important points
viz. whether they are lathials or of rioting type of criminals who operate for committing theft. Any confusion in the line of
thinking on the points u likely to result in complete misdirection of investigation.
5. RAPE AND UNNATURAL OFFENCES.
(RULE 205.)
(a) Legal aspect.—It should be noted that an offence under Section 376 is also made out in case of an intercourse by a
married man with his wife if she has not attained the age of consent (15 years). Therefore, the age of the victim is of considerable
importance and evidence must be collected to establish the same. In this matter, mere medical opinion (ossification test) is not
adequate. The other items should also be investigated, e.g., registration of birth, school certificate, etc. Consent given for sexual
intercourse' as t result of immaturity or misunderstanding cannot be construed as a valid evidence of permission and in such a
case, the provisions of Section 376 will be attracted.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 357


(b) Check of body.—Marks of violence, if any, on the body of the victim and the culprit should be specially noted and.
in particular evidence should be recorded on the capacity of the victim or the culprit to cause such injuries. These injuries
will mainly be found in the region of the face or the mouth and possibly on the neck, elbows, back and abdomen. See P. M.
Form No. 41-A.
(c) Attention must also be paid to the likelihood of bringing false charges after making self-inflicted injuries with foreign
bodies on the genitals of the female concerned and also by creating scratches on arms, breasts anc abdomen.
(d) The report about the character of the female would be important that is, whether she is habituated to sexual intercourse
with or without payment of money or for any other consideration.
(e) Unnatural offence.—Both participants if human are liable for prosecution, the passive agent for abetting the offence
if it has been done with mutual consent. There are a few eunuchs who are found appearing in woman's costume, and ostensibly
live by singing, but habitually trade in sodomy as passive agents.
(f) Neither the victim nor the accused can be compelled to submit to a medical examination against his/her consent. The
complainant should be clearly made to understand that his unwillingness to submit to medical exami nation may cause evidence
to suffer considerably in absence of suitable corroboration.
(g) Previous conduct.—Enquiries should also be made if the accused has previous conviction for similar offences or
any complaint had been earlier made and recorded in the Station Diary or any other record on the basis of which the habit of
the accused may be proved in the matter.
(h) Miscellaneous.—Enquiries must be made to find out whether the victim was rendered unconcious or put under the
influence of intoxicants or was overpowered by other means to submit to the intercourse. The examination of the place of
occurrence would indicate the possibility or otherwise of offence being committed at the place of occurrence
6. POISONING CASES.
◌֥
[RULE 205 (b)]
(a) Law on the subject.—Offences fall under Sections 328, I.P.C. and 319, I.P.C. and under Acts noted in Appendix 101,
clause 47. Mere administration of any poison or drug either through food or by injection or by inhalation such as through
chloroform. Ether etc. is punishable although no hurt may be actually caused. Cases of drugging by Professional Criminals are
Special Reports (Appendix 3, clause II). If it occurs at railway premises information is to be sent to C.I.D. as given in Rule
488(d) (2).
(b) Symptoms.—These are generally—
(i) Vomitting, purging and abdominal pain;
(ii) Coma;
(iii) Tingling of the skin, tongue and throat; and
(iv) delirium and clutching at imaginary objects.
There may be such other symptoms as general or partial paralysis, dilation or contraction of the pupils of the eyes,
difficulty of breathing and blue colour in the face and in finger tips. The I.O. must try to render first-aid treatment where
possible and send the patient to the nearest doctor. Some of the first-aid treatments are given below:—
(1) Acid.—As an antedote a saturated solution of magnesium sulphate can be given to drink. No effort is to be made
to produce vomiting as the Acid in its return passage through mouth might cause further burning.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 358


(2) Alkali.—Potassium Permanganate solution should be given to drink,
(3) Opium.—Vomitting should be induced by giving salt solution with plenty of potassium permanganate solution
to drink.
(c) It must he remembered that there are diseases Which, may produce symptoms similar to those of poisoning but in cases
of poisoning, the symptoms appear suddenly and generally, make their appearance after food, and if several persons have taken
the same food or drink, they show similar symptoms with certain exceptions.
(d) The mode of collection and preservation of exhibits is given in Appendix 78 and Form No. 40. The Investigating
Officer should not use vague terms like '"Suspicious death" or "Death by poisoning" etc. in the column "History of the case"
but must give probable poison that might have been used so that the doctor performing the post-mortem examination can
preserve viscera or that part of the body which is required for such an examination. Moreover I.O. should give requisition to
send viscera to chemical examiner quickly even if the Medical Officer does not think that such an examination necessary.
(e) Cattle poisoning.—See Appendix 78 and Rule 205 (c).

7. RAILWAY CRIMES.
(a) Railway crimes may be broadly divided into two major heads:—
(i) Collisions, Derailments etc. including sabotage cases.
(ii) Offences relating the railway property and in particular those dealing with the booking of miscellaneous goods on
the railways and their delivery.
(b) For (a) (i). Police Officers should be conversant with rules in clauses (c) to (e). For a (ii) it is also necessary I that the
general method of working of Railway Stations and administrative officers is understood by G.R.P. officers I so as to appreciate
the points on which investigation is to be made in cases involving misuse of railway tickets, I wrongful release or diversion of
wagons, defalcations by railway employees, etc.
◌֥
Collisions, derailments, etc.
(c) The "General Rules", "Subsidiary Rules", and "Station Working Rules" cover the operations of trains. They are issued
respectively under the authority of the Railway Board, the Railway administration concerned, and the Divisional
Superintendent. Investigating Officers should be conversant with these rules so as to appreciate the items on which
investigations are called for in accident or sabotage cases. The Station Working Rules are of special significance as these are
framed separately for each Station and indicate the rules and procedures to be observed in operations of all trains, locomotive
and rolling stock within the station limits. The station-map gives at a glance thetracks, fixtures of signals, and points within the
railway limits. This should be carefully studied while investigating each case occurring within the station-yard limits. A register
in P.M. Form No. 240 of railway accidents kept at all railway police posts may also give useful informations. Additionally, hand-
books for (1) Switchmen and Cabinmen, (2) Guards and (3) Station Inspectors are available and reference to these would also be
necessary. Accident Manual whose extracts are in Appendix 29 should also be studied, (d) Officers posted to the G.R.P. and to
the Special Railway crimes Squad of the C.I.D. should be fully conversant with the special features of railway operations and,
in particular, they must understand the implication of the following :—
(i) The Block system,
(ii) Warner, M.A.U.Q. (i.e. Multiple Aspect Upper Quadrant) signal and other signals

P.M.-lII—24

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 359


(iii) Facing, Trailing and Fouling points.
(iv) Treadle, Catch trap, and other safety devices.
(v) Buckling of Hails, kinks in Rails, Fracture point of Rails.

(vi) "Hunting" etc. of engines


(vii) Tokens and their exchange.
(viii) Rail sleepers, Fish-plates, Dog spikes, and other track-fitments.

(e) The "Permanent Way Department", which deals with laying and maintenance of tracks, culverts andbridges, the
"Power Department" which deals with Locomotives and their maintenance, the "Traffic Department"which concerns the
operations of the rolling stock, and the "Commercial Department" which deals with the booking of goods etc. are the four
important wings of railway operations with which Investigating Officers are concerned and they should, therefore, be fully
alive to the implications of the working of these departments on theinvestigation of railway cases.
(f) In regard to derailments etc. including accidents in the Stations yard-limits, the investigation should clarify if the
shunting operations were performed according to the rules. It should be checked if "private numbers" were properly exchanged
before the reception of a train and whether "Block forward" and "'Block Back" messages were exchanged. The "private
numbers" have ,to be entered in a separate book called "Private Number Book", which should be consulted. In case of setting
of points it should be checked whether the Points-man had exchanged "Tokens" with the A.S.M. In particular, it has to be
checked whether the Fouling point was locked before permis sion was given for the train to approach the Station. It is necessary
that the line is kept clear for about 440 metres from the Home Signal.
(g) In case of accidents, etc., outside the station limits, the following points deserve special note :—
璠َ
(i) Whether there was "hot axle"? In this contingency, there is a sharp whistling sound emanating from the axle which
should attract the attention of the driver and the Guard. The train should be stopped forthwith and should not
be hauled to the next station for detaching the wagon or compartment concerned.
(ii) If the coupling of the Units was defective?

(iii) Whether the track including its banks appears to be in sound condition and the ballast was properly packed? The
depth of the ballast should be 18, 12 and 6 inches in Broad Gauge, Metre Gauge and Narrow Gauge Lines
respectively.
(iv) Whether the sleepers were defective, that is, burnt out or rotten?
(v) Whether Fish-plates were correctly fixed and fitted?

(vi) Whether the Rail Gauge was in order? The measurement of the gauge from the point of derailment backward for
about 500 metres is necessary. If the gauge is not in order, derailment automatically takes place.
(vii) Whether there was a buckling of rails and kinks were observed in the rails?
(viii) Whether springs of coaches are defective? The existence of thumping or streak marks on the surface of rails is
indication of loose springs, which results in derailment. Height of Buffers above rail top must be within 3' 4'/2"
and 3' 7/2". If it is more, derailment may occur.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 360


(ix) The Engine-Repair Book (available in the engine) and the History Record of the Engine (kept in the Loco-shed)
have to be scrutinized to determine the defects, if any. Also the service-sheet of the driver kept by the Loco-
Foreman has to be checked about the "technical" antecedents of the driver.

(x) Trains Signal Register giving record of arrival and departure of trains at stations, the station diary of the A.S.M.
on duty at the Railway Station, and the Guards' Journal should be checked and seized, if necessary These give
indication of speed of travel. Very often over speeding can be the cause of an accident.

(h) The vital decision, which is to be taken, is whether the accident was due to sabotage (internal or external) or merely
due to negligence in performance of duty by the railway staff. In most cases this decision can only be taken after the advice
of the experts is available, whether of the Directorate General of Railway Safety or the State C.I.D. The Investigating Officer
"must realise that a careful examination of the P.O. and its observation is of extreme importance. Suspicious or connected
items at or near the RO. have to be taken charge of and apart from preparing a plan of the RO. with the available resources,
photographing of the same from the appropriate angles including close-ups is of prime importance. It has to be remembered
that sabotage generally occurs due to interference with the track and specially the fish-plates. In an accident, the "'point of
fracture" is of prime importance and should be carefully observed and recorded. If the rail was dislocated before the arrival
of the train (i.e. sabotage) there should be sloping dents at the end of the top table of the rear rail (i.e. the rail which is left
intact at the point of fracture). The rail head(s) there becomes rounded at the ending(s) and there is crushing of sleepers below
the rail seat. This rounding can be examined under a microscope, therefore, its preservation is of prime importance, so that this
may be possible. If the ridge at the end of the rail-head (Burrs) remains intact, it is indicative of no prior interference with the
track, i.e., this is not a case of sabotage. It should also be noted that any marks on the rail in the neighbourhood of the point of
fracture also leave corresponding marks on the locomotive wheels. These should therefore be carefully observed and examined.
The plan of the RO., which may be drawn, should indicate all measurements from the point of fracture and should show the
sleepers and the rails in consecutive serials. Railway officers should
汐 ַ◌ prepare plans of the scene of occurrence and the Police
Investigating Officers may be requested to sign them, which should be done only after these have been checked, with the plans
prepared by the Investigating Officer himself so that there are no discrepancies. The distance from the point of fracture to the
point where the engine got down the track should also be specially noted.

(i) Sleepers should be carefully observed for crushing marks of engine wheels. If there was a rail seat at the point of
fracture and if it contains wheel marks, it is a strong indication of sabotage. The fishplate and dog spikes have to be carefully
examined. If it is found that there is no elongation or tearing of holes on the sleepers, there is possibility of sabotage. The find
offish-bolts with nuts fixed on them is generally an indication of tampering by the gang man.

(j) Investigation must clarify the motive if any, involved. This is of special importance; in particular, disgruntled
Railwaymen, difference between. Labour Unions, professional gangs of looters, or political groups may be involved. It should
be noted if the train was carrying V.I.P. or other valuables which could be the target of attack.

(k) The previous trains, which had passed shortly before the mishap at the place of occurrence should be located and
their drivers and Guards should be questioned. Their records should be examined to see if there are any notes about any unusual
items. The engine-tools and gangman's tools (which can be used for tampering with machinery' and fitments) should be
carefully checked. The proximity of the place of occurrence to Jungles etc. should be considered. It may be noted that most
sabotage cases have been reported from places, near a culvert or in an area where there is no habitation, or from a gradient.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 361


Other offences.
(1) In regard to other types of offences which concern the functioning of the railways, e.g., theft from the railway wagons
or passengers trains or diversion of goods wagons with a view to making wrongful gain, the lb 1 lowing points should be
kept in view :—
(i) The locking system adopted for the wagons (E.P. lock) should be examined. Only special types criminals
can deal with the special locks or even railway staff may be involved.
(ii) Bleeding of wagons by introducing specially designed instruments or use of the "hot-knife" for the wagon
seals to effect their removal is possible and should be proved.
(iii) Culprits depredating in passenger trains take shelter on the storage battery box or the under-carriage of
compartment bath-rooms, which should be checked.
(iv) Forging of railway tickets requires special skills and examination of exhibits in the Forensic Scienc
Laboratory is essential. Interpolations, which are likely, should be carefully screened,
8. MOTOR VEHICLES ACCIDENTS.
(1) For examination of the P.O. see Appendix 77 CI. 5(b). The legal aspect is given in Appendix 101, clause35. In
particular the skid marks should be measured as a whole and if there are breaks in the same, only the measurement of the last
skid mark should be taken to indicate the distance covered before the vehicle came to a stop after application of brakes. This
is called Braking Distance. If skid marks of more than one wheel are found, it should be added and divided by the number
of wheels to calculate the average skid mark.
(2) Reaction time.—It is the time taken from the moment danger is seen by the driver, his mind acting about it. the physical
movement in taking his foot off the accelerator to take it to the brake, the actual pressing of the brake pedal and the time taken
for the brakes to start acting, etc. Although it is a very small time less than a second and
in an average driver f of second, the distance travelled during this time is not inconsiderable and increased with the
speed of the vehicle. It is also termed as'thinking distance'.

(3) Vehicles cannot stop dead atonce. A correlation be tween


Thinking Distance and Braking Distance is given in front

N.B.— If there is a good driver and a vehicle in perfect condition


together with good weather-broad daylight, good dry
roads, a vehicle cannot stop in distances less than those
shown and vehicles other than private cars or small vans
may need twice these distance to stop on dry roads.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 362


Similarly, on wet roads, for all vehicles, these distances may be doubled.
(4) Thus the speed may be calculated by the following formula :—
(a) In Hit and Run cases
1. Where 'V? is the speed in miles per hour. "M" is the co-efficient of friction of the road surface, and 'S" is
the length of the skid mark in the feet.
The co-efficient of friction "NT is a variable factor depending on the gradient of the road, nature of its surface,
weather, etc., and has got to be determined by an expert of the Forensic Laboratory.
(b) In cases where the offending vehicle is available:

V = Test speed x

(5) The Motor Vehicle Inspector should be able to report whether the Brakes or Tierod failed suddenly and the accident
was due to defective machinery over which the driver had no control. Sometimes, such damages are done intentionally after
accident to give a defence for the driver.
(6) The Investigating Officer must refer to the driver's records maintained in the Regional Transport Office so as to find
out his antecedents.
(7) Provided the driver In question is available in good time, it is also necessary to have a test made to determine if the
driver was under the influence of liquor or any other intoxicant
9. DEFALCATION CASES.
(a) The Police Officers on informations being given to them from Postal or Railway or concerned departmen tal authority
should start investigation without raising any dispute of jurisdiction. Arrangements can be made to transfer the cases to proper
places according to necessity. In no circumstances there should be delay in investigation.
(b) The investigation should bring out the nature and the extent of boss on account of error in working or neglect of rules
etc. It is, however, for the department concerned to take up the question of realisation of loss from the defaulters.
(c) When cases are registered under Sections 405 to 409,1.P.C. the investigation is prolonged sometimes for the scrutiny
of records or for obtaining of documents from the office of A.G. or other offices. These have been dealt with in the paras below.
In order to expedite investigation, three items of defatcalion limited within a space of 12 months can be selected from an audit
report for inclusion in a chargesheet according to Section 219. Cr.P.C. In other items, supplementary case diaries can be
submitted according to the necessity. There is no need for covering all the irregularities that might have been noted in an audit
report. The Police need not also assume the role of a departmental head in trying to assess fully the gaps found in an audit
report. See Sections 219-221(1) of Cr.P.C.
(d) Scrutiny of records should be done expeditiously. If necessary the assistance of specialist accountants or auditors
should be taken.
(e) How to obtain records in the custody of some other departments :—
(I) Post and Telegraph Offices
The law regarding production of the documents or things in the custody of the Post and Telegraph department is contained
in Section 92, Cr.P.C. The instructions issued by the Director General of Post Offices (Para. 152 Volume V of Posts and
Telegraphs Manual) regarding production of records in the custody of the Post Office are riven in P.M. Rule 168.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 363


This rule does apply to the production of telegraph message drafts which can only be produced under the rules on the
subject given in Posts and Telegraphs Manual, Volume XI, page 83, Chapter II, Rule 152(1).
(II) Audit Departments
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has issued the following instructions :—
(i) In cases where the Investigating Officer considers that it is not possible to proceed with the investigation without
securing the original documents which are in the possession of Audit Offices, the matter should be reported
by him to the Inspector-General of Police. The latter after carefully satisfying himself that there is sufficient
justification for obtaining the original documents should refer the matter to the Accountant-General concerned
with the request that the required documents be handed over to the Investigating Officer in original. He should
expressly mention that copies including photostat copies would not serve the purpose of the Investigating Officer.
The Accountant-General will then arrange for the required documents being handed over to the police, as early
as possible after retaining photostat copies.
(ii) The responsibility for preparing photostat copies will be that of the Audit Offices.

(iii) In cases where it is considered that documents need not be seized immediately, the Investigating Officer should
make a list of the documents and submit a request in writing to the Treasury Officer, etc. to forward the
documents mentioned in the list in a sealed cover to the Head of the Audit Office (by name). The police officer
should obtain a written acknowledgment from the Treasury Officer, etc. for receipt of the requisition and list.
The documents would thereafter be obtained according to the procedure prescribed in sub-para. 1 above.

(iv) In cases where it is considered that the documents should be seized immediately, the Investigating Officer should
submit a written requisition together with a list of documents and obtain delivery thereof from the Treasury
Officer, etc. The Treasury Officer, etc. should send an immediate report to the Head of the Audit Office. In such
cases the police is to take immediate steps to furnish photostat copies to the Treasury Officer, etc., for being
submitted to the Audit Officer in lieu of the original vouchers for facility of work in the Audit Office.

(Letter No. 17/23/61 -AVD, dated the 29th April, 1961, from the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India,
to all State Governments).

(v) A police officer requisitioning documents through Inspector-General of Police is to keep the following points in
view :—

(a) There must be a certificate to the effect whether or not from the photostat copy of the document or other copies
be;ng requisitioned, the purpose of investigation will be served.
(b) The brief facts of the case leading to the requisition of particular document should be given.

(c) The head of account and the name of Treasury, and voucher Nos. and dates under which the amounts have been
drawn should be indicated. This is necessary to enable the Accountant-General to trace the relevant documents.

(d) After a reference has been made by the Inspector-General of Police to the Audit Office with an endorsement
to the Superintendent of Police concerned, it is for the latter to pursue the matter to get the documents.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 364


(III) Banks

The State/Reserve Banks are reluctant sometime to part with cheques/drafts, etc. which might have been forged out of
fear of being lost. However, in case of this not being available they should be asked to furnish photostat copies and produce
the originals in Courts during trial.

(f) Regarding recovery of defalcated amount from accused, see clause 42-C of Appendix 101. Steps should be taken to
freeze the accounts of accused in different banks/post offices so that the accused may not withdraw the amounts. This can be
done by getting an order served from the District Magistrate on them. Thereafter, an inventory of things in the house, deposits
in bank and landed properties is to be made, Under Section 3, Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 1944 (Ordinance No.
38 of 1944), an application supported by affidavit is to be made before the District Judge for attachment of money and other
properties by the State as the accused appears to have acquired these from money procured by commission of the offences,
i.e. those under Sections 161,406, 409,411, 414, 417 and 420,1.P.C.

10. FORGED CURRENCY NOTES CASES.

(RULE 146)

(a) On receipt of information at the police-station about the appearance of a forged note, FIR should be started only if it
appears that there is any possibility in the near future of the identity of the utterer being known. In other case, a Station Diary
Entry followed by General Enquiry should be adequate.

(b) Generally speaking, the following types of equipments should be available where note forgery takes
place:—

(1) Inks of different colours, (2) Paper similar in texture


汐 ַ◌ and thickness to genuine ones, (3) Type figures for
numbering, (4) Powder and washing soda for cleansing, (5) Glass slabs, (6) Wooden blocks., (7) Wax candles,
oil, glycerine, (8) Sand papers, brush, scales, knives, scissors, screw drivers, (9) Photo camera and negatives.

There would be, in addition, perhaps, a treadle machine for printing.

(c) The common defects in forged notes are : (1) difference in quality of paper, (2) water mark, (3) poor printing, (4)
difference in colour and (5) the numbers printed which are generally the same in various notes forged.

(d) On receipt of the forged notes at the police-station, these would invariably be sent to the Superintendent of Police of
the district who would forward them to the C.I.D. for a preliminary examination in the Police Laboratory (See Appendix 25).
The C.I.D. will arrange to send the notes to the Manager, Currency Note Press, Nasik for further examination. These notes
would be received back in C.I.D. after examination where arrangements should be made to send them to the Currency Officer
Reserve Bank of India, Patna, for retention for a period of one year before destruction. However, in the instances in which an
FIR has been started and there is a likelihood of detec tion, the notes with the reports will be sent to the police-station concerned
for keeping with the case diaries.

(e) In each case where the currency notes are retained in C.I.D. for being forwarded to the Currency Officer, Reserve
Bank of India, Patna the concerned Investigating Officer will be required to obtain orders of a Magistrate under Section 457,
Cr.P.C. for their disposal. However, in cases in which the notes are retained by the police- station, these would be dealt with
by the Investigating Officer in the manner laid down for the disposal of exhibits in all cases.

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 365


(f) In each case, where F.I.R. has been drawn up and chargesheet is not likely, final form should not be kept pending
for the final expert opinion to be received from the Currency Notes Press, Nasik. This can be sent without waiting for it.
However, whenever there is possibility of chargesheet being submitted, the expert opinion must be first obtained and this
should be kept at the Police-Station along with the case record in which the currency note in question should also be
available.

(g) In investigating these cases a study of the previous incidence and appearance of similar currency notes is important
and this should be done by consulting the C.I.G. in which a monthly statement of the appearance of forged currency notes
is published. Immediate information must be sent to the Office of the Superintendent of Police along with the currency note
in question, which is not required to be retained at the police-station, so that the District Crime Bureau would also study their
records and give indicators. It should be clearly understood that only an expert can declare a particular currency note as forged
and the opinion of an Investigating Officer is not adequate by itself to prove this.

(h) A monthly statement about the appearance of forged currency notes has to be sent to the Superintendent of Police by
the 7th of each month for onward transmission by him to the D.I.G., C.I.D., by the 15th of every month. The Investigating
Officer must study Rule 146 (b) in this connection which lays down the pro forma in which the report is submitted so that
during the investigation the relevant information is duly collected.

11. CHEATING CASES

The Investigating Officer should make himself conversant with the modus operandi adopted by some of the professional
criminals and which are well known (See Appendix 18). Some of these are mentioned below :—

(1) Topka or Bala trick.—- This crime is committed by a gang of three or four persons, who by planting a genuine
piece of ornament persuades the victim in believing
燐 ַ◌ that the item has been found by accident and can be sold to
him at a cheap rate. When the deal is made, the dupe is induced to accept the ornament on payment of the
price but the ornament is changed in the process of being handed over and only spurious piece is given to the
person cheated. There are minor variations also in this trick.

(2) Treasure Trove trick.—The dupe is persuaded to believe that a quantity of gold coins has been found while
digging a tank or foundation, etc. These are offered for sale much below the market value and when the exchange
takes place generally after dark, a pot filled with earth showing some coins on the top is made over.

(3) Note doubling.—In this trick, the victim is persuaded to believe that the currency note can be doubled. At first, a
currency note is soaked in solution of iodine and starch and when it becomes black, it is placed along with
another currency note of equal value, already blackened in the same way from before. Thereafter, both the
notes are kept covering a bundle of equal size blank papers which are tied in between within two glass plates. The
cheat recites Mantra, opens the bundle and washes the currency notes in hypo solution restoring the note which
was given by the victim and also the other one which was introduced by the culprit. The victim is given both
the notes and once he is convinced of the process, he is persuaded to bring more notes which are intended to be
treated in a similar manner. A fake police raid is organised in which the culprits decamp with all the notes and
the victim also runs away out of fear for arrest.

(4) Mystic Healers.—The swindlers in the garb of mendicants persuade the victim to bury ornaments near the
place of worship, and it is reported that the quantity and the number of ornaments would

JHARKHAND POLICE MANUAL(VOL-3) 366


increase by this worship. This is in fact done also to create confidence. After this, when this process is repeated,
the swindlers decamp with the entire lot of ornaments. In some other cases of this type. the ornaments are
returned, but in this process, they are replaced by base metal ornaments.
(5) (a) Bauriya tricks.—By sleight of hands, genuine coins are changed by base ones and shopkeepers are cheated in
making purchases. Variations in these tricks are used. In some cases, brass beads are replaced in place of gold
beads.

(b) 'Snow Ball' swindle.—Bogus loan banks are started particularly with no capital and on the principle of mutual
help. It consists essentially of enlisting clients who have to deposit small sums of money as entrance fee and also
to pay subscription p vliminary to get loan from the bank. They have to get more clients enlisted. A larger sum of
money is paid to the original client either as loan or as an outright advance. At some stage payment is stopped
on some plea or other. This swindle is practised in various other forms in giving watch as a prize, etc.

(c) In Post Offices (1) frauds are done by getting fake telegraphic money orders sent in connivance with the postal
employees, (2) fraud is also done in extracting items from V.P.P. Parcels by manipulating the seals used on
covers with the help of postal employees handling them, (3) bogus money orders are also introduced in
connivance with postal employees, (4) Saving Banks Accounts are manipulated and money is withdrawn from
certain accounts which appear not to have been operated for some time.
(d) Railway Frauds.—(\) An used railway ticket for a long journey and a new short journey ticket are soaked in
water. The portions of ticket giving the particulars of long journey are planted on the short journey ticket; to be
used as a long journey ticket.
璠َ
(2) The railway receipts are manipulated in connivance with the railway employees and wagons of material are
taken delivery without any payment.
(e) Bogus Public Servant.—This is also resorted to by impersonation. The culprit poses as a Police Officer or Excise
Officer or an Income-tax Officer, etc. and swindles the clients.
(f) In cheating cases, it is necessary to consult the M.O. index carefully to select the names of likely criminals for
enquiry. It has to be borne in mind that cheats would generally adopt several aliases. Therefore, when consulting
alphabetical index, all possible aliases should also be searched for.

recording information.

4. When a requisition has been received at a Police-Station for search in respect of a missing person from another Police-
Station within State or outside either directly or through Missing Persons Bureau at CID/DCB. particulars of such requisition
should be immediately entered in a separate Missing Persons Register
牰 ַ◌ in P.M. Form No. 223 and an officer detailed to look for
him at probable places as noted in clause 2. If the information gives precise particulars which make immediate search essential,
the place should be watched and searched in the man ner given in Section 100. Cr.P.C. Where no such precise particulars are
furnished, it will suffice if the available details are only indexed for future reference. If at any stage, any information is
received that the missing person may be found at any other place, information should be sent there which may be even outside
the State, for example, necessary intimation may be sent to Rail Police-Station, Howrah, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime

APPENDIX 82

JUVENILE AID BUREAU


[RULES 415 AND 1318(b)]
1. Aims and Objects.—Juvenile Aid Bureau has been set up with the following principal functions :—

(a) An assessment of the extent of juvenile delinquency by collection of relevant statistics and other data including
material to be collected by sample survey in the areas of operation.

(b) Organisation of preventive measures and co-operation with Social Organisations, for example Child Guidance
Centre at Mandiri in Kotwali P.S. in Patna or at Hazaribagh which have been set up by the Education department.
Similarly co-operation may be kept with Institute of Social Sciences in St. Xaviers in Hazaribagh.

(c) Investigation of important cases involving juveniles in which their interrogation, etc. assumes special
significance. Control of important cases may be assumed by C.I.D. under P.M. Rule 410.

(d) Providing a counselling service in likely cases of delinquency or anti-social behaviour.

(e) Supervision of the enforcement of the Children's Act and the connected statutes.

2. Staff.—(a) Each Bureau will generally consist of one Inspector, two Sub-Inspectors and two Assistant Sub-Inspectors.
Constables, where needed, will be provided from the available staff at the headquarter reserve of the District by the S.P.

(b) The functions of the bureau in the districts will be co-ordinated by the Central Unit at the headquarters of the State
狀 ַ◌unit and will, therefore, form a part of the general staff of the
C.I.D. The District units will function as a fraction of the C.I.D.
C.I.D., in the State.

3. Location.—(a) The Juvenile Aid Bureau is located near the offices of the Superintendents of Police and may even

INTERNATIONAL CRIME POUCH ORGANISATION.
(RULE410)
1. The I.C.P.O. with headquarters in Paris (Telegraphic address : INTERPOL. PARIS) is operating with a
view to collecting, collating and disseminating information about crimes and criminals with an international com-
plexion. Finger-print slips, photographs, and detailed indices are also maintained here. The I.C.P.O. mainly main
tains information connected w i t h the following crimes :—
(a) murder, (b) burglary, (c) assault, (d) theft (including pick-pocketing) and thefts of cars, air-crafts, etc.,
(e) swindling. (0 breach of trust, (g) Banking fraud including fraudulent cheques, (h) trafficking in
women. (i) counterfeiting coin, (j) forged currency, (k) white slavetraffic, (1) planting of letter bombs
and (m) publication of pornographic literature and other materials. The I.C.P.O. also publishes a
review indicating the materials received by them and also maintains a Sub-Office at Hague (Holland)
which specially compiles information about counterfeit currency notes and coins.
2. The I.C.P.O. functions in its affiliated countries through the National Crime Bureau. In India, the C.B.I, is
the National Crime Bureau. The Interpol Division of C.B.I, covers all such correspondence. Therefore, whenever
assistance from a country affiliated to the I.C.P.O. is required, the Police force in India will have to address the
Interpol Division of the C.B.I. However, for non-affiliated countries, correspondence has to be channelised through
the Ministry of External Affairs who will have to be addressed through the State Government.
3. All matters including procedural difficulties affecting crimes in which foreigners are involved or about
criminals, who are foreigners, should be referred to the Interpol Division of the C.B.I, so that the matter may be
discussed at the annual Interpol Convention, if necessary, for evolving appropriate procedures.
㼀0
4. The list of countries affiliated to the I.C.P.O. are available with Government.
5. Whenever finger-prints of foreigners arrested in India are required to be sent to the International Crime
Police Organisation for search, etc., this should be done through the Central Finger Print Bureau, Calcutta which is
a part of C.B.I. In case a foreigner is convicted in this country an extra copy of the finger print slip (and a copy of
the photograph) should be sent to the C. F. P. B. for onward transmission. Whenever an Indian is convicted abroad
and his/her finger-print slips are to be kept in a State Bureau for future reference, these will be received from the
National Criminal Bureau of the country of conviction by the Central Finger Print Bureau and the latter are respon-
sible for transmitting them to the State Bureau for record [See Rule 445(e)].
