TEN MCQ WITH ANSWERS ON PEACE: PRESERVATION OF THE PEACE 698. Watching for developments: (1) In so for as the causes of unrest are usually of a general, religious, political or economic character, it may be difficult for local officers of the Government to do anything effective in isolation towards their removal. When, however, they are of a local character (though perhaps general tension tends to accentuate the situation), local officers may often be able to effect their removal or at least, mitigate their effects. To this end, it is very essential for the local officers to keep c ontinuous watch over developments from the very early stages, even though the circumstances may be such as to render it unnecessary or even undesirable for them to intervene in the early stage. The District Collector must make effective arrangements to see that he is fully and continuously kept abreast of the situation as it develops. The responsibility for such liaison rests entirely on the Collector. (2) One of the most important duties of the Police is the collection of information about every movement, state of feeling, dispute or incident, which may lead to a breach of the peace and the communication of such information to the District Collector. Failure in the performance of this duty will be severely noticed. (G.O. Ms. No. 3064, Home, dated 3rd October 1960.) (3) Action in connection with breaches of the Peace – (i) The Station House Officer must always keep in touch with the information contained in his records relating to crime in villages and acquaint himself with the occasions on which a breach of the peace is likely to take place. (ii) When there is likelihood of disturbance, he should visit the place in question and try to gauge the extent of public feeling by getting in touch with important leaders of various groups and non-controversial citizens. 910 (iii) The village police Defence party and beat constables should be instructed to keep a watch on the meetings held, handbills distributed and rumours set afloat by outside agitators. (iv) Precautionary measures for preventing or dealing with such disorders depend on a number of factors, including the cause of friction, the nature of the particular dispute, if any, whether the danger is continuous or associated with a particular festival or occasion and the influence of the leaders of the communities, but experience has shown that adequate precautions taken in proper time tend to inspire confidence among the several communities and check the misguided zeal of the irresponsible elements. (v) It must be carefully watched if feasts or festivals of two different rival sects or communities fall at one and the same time and, if they do, an intelligent and confidential enquiry must be set afoot and the officers must give the subject their very best attention. They must freely consult the chief men of the respective communities and bring about reconciliation, if there is any dispute, but at the same time the best Police preparations must be made for the worst, instead of being befooled by promises and pretensions. The Executive Magistrate must be kept duly informed of all the developments and his presence procured. (vi) It will usually be the safe and sound policy at times of acute feeling to assume that a clash in a large town may develop into a serious trouble and to take prompt precautionary measures on this assumption. These may stop initial clashes in other areas and so prevent spread of the trouble. (vii) At times, however, disorders may obtain a firm foothold before the necessary forces can be secured to stamp them out. Ordinarily, the trouble will then assume the form of (a) gang attacks in localities where one community is weak and the police or troops are inadequate to stop them, or (b) ‗kill and run‘ where the police troops are insufficient to stop gang attacks. Stabbing, Looting and arson will often be features of this stage. (viii) If the circumstances demand such action, steps should be taken to have orders promulgated under Section 144 Cr. P.C., prohibiting the holding of meetings, the assemblage of persons, the carrying of weapons, the taking out of processions, or the doing of other acts from which a breach of the peace can be apprehended. If the dispute regarding which the breach of peace apprehended relates to land or water, or to boundaries of land or water, action should be taken under Section 145 to 148 Cr. P.C. Copies of reports made to Magistrates with a view to take action being taken under Section 144 and 145 Cr. P.C. should be sent to the superior Police Officers concerned. (ix) If the prospects of averting trouble are not encouraging, steps should be taken to concentrate a sufficiently large Police force in the vicinity of the scene where a breach of the peace is anticipated, as a mere show of strength is sometimes sufficient to avoid untoward developments. The Police force should be strong enough to deal promptly and effectively with major or minor incidents. Arrangements must be made for patrols and pickets and for 911 the establishment of communications between various police parties and the Police headquarters. (x) Sub-Divisional Police Officers and Superintendents should invariably be present on the scene of apprehended trouble and should not leave the situation to be handled by subordinates. (xi) A particularly valuable form of patrol in a town or city is in a motor vehicle carrying a Magistrate and a Police party. (xii) Precautionary measures for preventing breaches of the peace should include besides the several measures mentioned above, action under Section 151 Cr. P.C. against rowdies, suspects and bad characters and against persons, likely by their actions, to create trouble. When action under section 106 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against such arrested persons is intended, they should be promptly produced in custody before the nearest Magistrate although he may not have been empowered to deal with them, the latter Magistrate being requested to detain them in custody pending institution of proceedings under Section 107 of the Code. When they are so detained, they will not be entitled to bail under Section 436 of the Code. In case of others, they could be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Section 59 read with Section 167 of the Code. In proper cases, those who incite class hatred should be proceeded against under Section 153-A-IPC. It is essential that any tendency towards disorder should be nipped in the bud and that actual outbreaks are handled effectively with the least possible delay and the minimum loss of or damage to life and property. (xiii) Section 149 Cr. P.C. confers power on every Police Officer to interpose for the purpose of preventing the commission of any cognizable offence. The section also casts a duty on every Police Officer to prevent to the best of his ability, the commission of any cognizable offence. Superior officers should interpose by enlisting the assistance of influential persons in the communities concerned and encouraging all attempts to mitigate the effects of communal animosity. When communal tension is apprehended, Sub-Divisional Officer and other officers should endeavour to secure the assistance of gentlemen of repute who can be depended upon to exert their influence in the interest of law and order, and local conciliation boards should be formed where they are likely to be of use. (xiv) Local officers charged with the maintenance of law and order should take prompt measures to deal with communal agitation from the beginning and on no account allow the situation to deteriorate. They should keep the District Magistrate and the Superintendent informed of the developments by Police Wireless, telephone or fax, from time to time and seek instructions when necessary. 912 (xv) During the periods of both tension and actual outbreaks of disorders, it is essential that an efficient system of intelligence should be available so that officers responsible for the maintenance of law and order are able to obtain timely information of incidents and developments. It is most important that Police Officers should be in close touch with the magistracy. [As per relevant provisions of Cr.P.C.] 699. Preventive Action (1) When a breach of the peace is anticipated, the Police should take timely action under the preventive sections of Chapters XI and XII of the Criminal Procedure Code, and under the provisions of sections 30 and 30A of the Police Act, 1861 (Act V of 1861). First report made to Magistrates with a view to action being taken under sections 144 and 145 of the Criminal Procedure Code should be made on the First Information Report form and subsequent reports on case diary forms, as in ordinary cases under the Indian Penal Code and copies sent to the superior Police Officers concerned. (2) In a serious emergency relating to the disturbance of the peace recourse should be had to the appointment of Special Police Officers under section 16 of the Madras District Police Act, 1859 (Act XXI of 1859) instructions to regulate the enrolment and employment of Special Police Officers are contained in Police Standing Orders, Volume II. (3) (a) All public officers shall consider it their duty to do everything that is possible for the removal of causes of friction, communal or otherwise, to foster good relations and friendly feelings between different sections of the public, to take all possible precautions to prevent disorders and to spare no efforts in bringing disorders under control with the least possible delay. There should be no hesitation in taking disciplinary action against any Government servant who is guilty of any wilful neglect of duty or who contributed openly or covertly to the origin or the continuance of the tension. (b) Police Officers should, whenever a suitable opportunity presents itself, impress on the people that it is the primary duty of each citizen to keep the peace and do everything in their power for the removal of coining and other ill-feelings that disturb public peace. (c) Pol ice Of f icers should keep the concerned Execut ive Magistrates informed of the course of any agitation or dispute that is likely to lead to a breach of the peace. The following items should be emphasized in their reports, (i)area affected, (ii) cause of dispute, (iii) number of persons involved in the dispute, (iv) 913 leaders of the dispute and the action, if any, suggested against them and (v) precautionary arrangements, if any, necessary. (d) The Superintendent of Police will be held responsible for promptly communicating all information to the Collector of his district, the Range Deputy Inspector-General of Police, the Additional Director General/Inspector General/Deputy Inspector General of Police, C.I.D. (Intelligence) and the Director-General of Police, Chennai. ( 4 ) ( a ) Wh e n , i t i s a q u e s t i o n o f d e a l i n g c ommu n a l disturbances, the only prescriptions of general applications that can be made in regard to precautionary measures are, in the first place, that where there are persistent or recurrent local grounds for disputes, such as music or processions in particular localities or at particular times, every endeavour should be made to have these settled on a permanent basis by agreement . Such set t lements, usual ly on the basis of an ascertainment of old customs in such matters have frequently proved of great value and secondly continuous vigilance should be observed when communal feeling is running high, since any trivial incident may serve to start conflagration. This is particularly true of large towns. (b) The authorities entrusted with the task of maintaining law and order should note that it is a right recognized by law that an assembly l awful ly engaged in the per formance of rel igious wor ship or religious ceremonies shall not be disturbed and also that persons may for a lawful purpose, whether civil or religious, use a common highway by parading it attended by music, provided that they do not obstruct the use of it by other persons. The attention of Police officials is, in this connection invited to section 30(4) of the Police Act of 1861, which empowers a Superintendent of Police or Assistant Superintendent of Police to regulate the extent to which music may be used in public places on the occasions of festivals and ceremonies. Other Precautionary measures: (5) Other precautionary measures must depend on a number of factors including the cause of friction, the nature of the particular dispute if any, the question whether the danger is continuous or associated, with a special festival or occasion, the influence of Local leaders, etc. Premature action may increase rather than reduce the danger and excessive precautions may have the effect of creating a feeling of panic. But, generally speaking, when tension is really acute, experience is very definitely in favour of taking excessive rather than inadequate precautions, since these tend to inspire confidence in the weaker party and caution in the stronger one. They also tend to check the ardour of the inflammatory elements on both sides. 914 Precautions in towns: (6) In the case of towns, the following precautions have prove d of value during periods of sustained tension, some of them with suitable modifications may usefully be followed in any large-scale dispute outside towns also. (a) Intelligence --The Police in charge of Law and Order and of Intelligence should set up independent sources and get information of any portents of communal trouble or other disturbances and effec tive measures should be taken to nip in the bud any trouble that is likely to develop. (b) Increase in the number of Police Pickets, strengthening of local Pol ice, stat ioning of uni ts of Armed Reserve at s t rategic and vital places; the institution of Armed Police Patrols in vehicles fitted with wireless sets and the establishment of a Police Control Room with the necessary striking force, ambulance and fire brigade. If vital places are not connected by telephone, a wireless Station should be established and a few despatch riders on motor cycles may be kept ready for communicating orders promptly. (c) Efficient and prompt system of communicat ion between Police Headquarters, Police posts and the Executive officers concerned. (d) Security proceedings against persons on both sides, who engage in exciting ill-feeling or who are known bad characters likely to take an active part in the disorder if it occurs. Such of the unruly elements as are suspected to be responsible for the tension, hooligans and urchins likely to cause breach of peace should be rounded up under Section 151 Cr. P.C. (e) Prosecut ion under Sect ion 153-A, Indian Penal Code or act ion unde r Sect ion 108, Cr iminal Proc edur e Code, agains t those who promote enmity or ill-feeling. (f) Formation of Block Vigilance Squads in Towns (g) Action under Section 144, Criminal Procedure Code, where the danger of a clash appears to be imminent, e.g., prohibiting carrying arms or lathis, assembly of more than five persons in the public streets, etc. (h) Action under the Police Act or other provisions of the law to control or prohibi t processions, etc. (i) Watching for Strangers. A sharp look-out should be kept for strangers who not only inflame the feelings of the people but distribute objectionable posters and offensive weapons. Railway stations, Ferry Ghats, Bus-stands, Choultries, Hotels, Mosques, Temples and houses of leaders of both the parties involved in the riots are places to be watched 915 for such persons. If their movements are found to be suspicious, free use of Sections 41, 42, 107, 109 and 151, Criminal Procedure Code, should be made. (j) Careful watch over the movement of dangerous goods. Whenever there is reason to suspect that a railway parcel contains dangerous or of fensive goods such as ammuni t ion, the Rai lway authorities should be moved to open the package under Section 59(4) of the Railway Act. (k) Distribution of leaflets in the affected and surrounding areas warning the inhabitants against creating disturbances and appealing for the maintenance of peace. The citizens should also be assured that their legitimate rights will be protected. This, especially in hartal, will enable them to pursue their normal vocations without fear of attack or of victimization. (G.O. Ms. 3064, Home, dated 3rd October 1960.) 700. Measures to prevent breaches of the peace (1) It is the duty of the Police to watch the state of feelings, disputes or incidents among the communities and to take adequate me a s u r e s t o p r e v e n t b r e a c h e s o f t h e p e a c e wh i c h i f t h e y occur, must be handled immediately and effectively. Precautionary measures for preventing such disorders should include, beside the several measures mentioned in Order No. 698, action under section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code, against rowdies or persons likely by their actions to create trouble. In proper cases those who incite ‗class hatred‘ should be proceeded against under Section 153-A of the Indian Penal Code. (2) Use of non-official: It is very desirable that the services of non-officials should be utilized when these are likely to be of value in such situations. For this purpose it is essential that Superintendents of Police should not keep themselves aloof from non-officials. They should endeavour in the course of their tours to meet leading non-officials of the place so that they can get to know them well and enlist their help in an emergency. (3) Prior to anticipated out-breaks of disorders, the Police Force in the locality must be strengthened or mobilized as circumstances permit, so as to deal promptly and effectively with major or minor incidents. Arrangements must be made for mobile patrols and pickets and for the establishment of communications between various Police parties and the Police Headquarters. (4) During both periods of tension and actual out-breaks of disorders, it is essential that an efficient system of intelligence should be available so that officers responsible for the maintenance of law and order are able to obtain timely 916 information of incidents and developments. It is most important that Police officers should be in close touch with the Magistracy. (5) Vigorous precautionary measures, frequent patrolling, visit by superior officers to places of trouble and, above all, a sense of preparedness and determination on the part of the Police to prevent or deal effectively with any disorder will go a long way towards inspiring confidence in the public and preventing or checking activities of irresponsible elements. (6) In places where communal disorders are usually associated with particular occasions such as festivals, a proper riot scheme should be drawn up in consultation with District Collector.

TEN MCQ ON RIOT: HIGH LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY WITH ANSWERS: Preparation of Riot Schemes: There is a riot scheme drawn up for every important town in the State. Similar schemes should also be drawn up for places where, or occasions when, communal or other disorders are, from past experience, expected to occur. These schemes should be practiced every half year. The object of the practice is to ensure that all officers of the above rank of Sub-Inspector are conversant with the details of the scheme and their duties under it. It is not necessary for this purpose to make large-scale movements of men or mobilise Armed Reserves, involving additional expenditure to the Government by way of travelling allowance or feeding charges. The preparation of Riot Schemes, which can be brought into prompt operat ion, has proved of real value in the case of larg e towns. Internal security and alarm schemes presuppose a set of conditions quite different from these which obtain in the case of communal and other localized riots and are generally ill-suited for the latter purposes. The character and details of Riot schemes will necessarily vary from town to town and following items are merely illustrate of matters which may require consideration and inclusion in the scheme – (a) Choice of headquarters of the Police and Chief Executive Officers (and of Military Liaison Officers, if provision is made for Military aid). (b) Adequate arrangements for telephonic communication and periodical testing of them. If a serious riot occurs, extra connections are of great value. (c) Arrangement for transport of Police reinforcements. (d) Initial disposition of Police Force, including schemes of patrols and pickets with mobile reserve. This part of the Scheme should be fluid and admit of rapid change as the situation develops, (e) Division of the area likely to be affected into patrol areas and in particular, into areas capable of patrol by motor vehicles. The latter part of this scheme involves actual tests before hand, of the streets, end lanes down which motor vehicles can pass. Patrol areas should be as small as the Forces available and local 917 conditions will permit, since the more intensive patrolling can be made, the more useful it will prove. (f) The allocation of duties and stations to particular Magistrate, (g) Plans for the requisition of Motor Lorries and Motor Car, (h) Allocation to a particular officer of the duty of requisitioning sufficient number of towneries, who may prove invaluable in the early stages of riot for the purpose of proclaiming by beat of drum the orders of the executive authorities. (i) Public Address System. Use of Public Address System mounted on Police Vehicles for publishing official announcement countering mischievous rumours, etc., (j) Keeping Photographers at hand. Photographing situations has a deterrent effect on trouble makers and for pursuing investigation and prosecution. (k) Positioning T.V. Camera has the effect of drawing people to the desired Place and thereby releasing crowd pressure where control becomes difficult. (1) If military aid is locally available, the scheme should include provision for this, framed by or in consultation with the Military authorities. Among other matters provision should be made for (i) strength and composition of (a) initial force, and (b) reinforcements (ii) the initial dispositions. (iii) liaison with the civil authorities (iv) Warning message to stand by and subsequent message (if proves necessary) to proceed in aid of the civil power; and (v) Deputation of Magistrates for duty with various detachments. (m) Medical relief for the injured (n) Provision of wireless sets (o) Periodical revision of each Riot Scheme. NOTE: -- (1) During periods of tension the civil authorities should keep the military closely informed of the situation. (2) Instructions regarding use of military in aid of civil power are given in G.O. Ms. No. 1985, Public (General-A), dated 4th June 1955 (8) Police Officers engaged in dealing with such situations or investigating offences arising from them, must show themselves to be strictly impartial. 918 (9) When clashes occur --- If a clash occurs, immediate and vigorous action may nip the t r o u b l e i n t h e b u d a n d p r e v e n t i t f r om s p r e a d i n g. I f i t i s possible to make arrests, these will have a good effect. Where the clash takes the form of mob fighting, there should be no hesitation to disperse by force or to resort to firing, if life is seriously endangered, the provisions of the law in their respects being, of course, observed. Procrastinating and feeble parleying for long periods often lead to the heightening of tension and worsening of the situation. This is frequently so because lack of prompt firmness and decision is interpreted as weakness and vacillation on the part of the authorities, which it frequently actually is. (10) It will usually be the safe and sound policy at times of acute feeling to assume that a clash in a large town may develop into serious trouble and to take prompt precautionary measures on this assumption. These will stop initial clashes in other areas and so prevent spread of the trouble. NOTE.—Instructions regarding dispersal of unlawful assemblies are given in Police standing Order No. 703. (11) (a) Measures to put down disturbance Whatever measures may be taken, disorder may obtain a fi rm f oothold before necessary forces can be obtained to stamp it out. Ordinarily, the trouble will then assume the form of gang attacks in localities where one party is weak and the Police or troops are inadequate to stop them or (b) Kill and run when the Police or troops are sufficient to stop gang attacks. Looting and arson will often be features of this stage. (b) The measures which have proved of value at this and subsequent stages are:- (i) Orders under Section 144, Criminal Procedure Code, in so far as it is possible to enforce them, e.g., curfew orders, prohibition on carrying of lathies, etc. (ii) Early instructions to Magistrate to give orders to fire, if the circumstances justify such Orders under the law of self-defence or under Chapter IX of the Criminal Procedure Code. The proclamation by beat of drum or through loud speakers of the fact that such instructions have been issued often has a deterrent effect, even though the occasions or opportunities for resort to firing may be very few. (iii) Intensive patrols and pickets in areas affected – A par t icularly valuable mode of patrol is by Jeep, a Magistrate si tting in the front seat , with two constables behind with loaded muskets. The fact that the Magistrate will give the order to fire, if necessary, soon becomes known and 919 the frequency and unexpectedness of his visits are effective in checking, sporadic assaults and murders. (iv) The arrest of suspects and bad characters on a big scale as soon as circumstances permit. (v) Censor ship of loc a l newspape r s tha t spr e ad al a rming reports or contain inflammatory news. This can be done by an order under Section 144 Criminal Procedure Code, in extreme cases of real urgency. (vi) The utilization of reliable non-officials of influence specially for the purpose of restoring confidence. (vii) Restrictions by arrangement with the Railway authorities on passenger traffic when there is a real danger of persons coming from outside to join in the rioting. (viii) Despatch of small police parties to comb the disturbed areas for rioters whenever disturbances are interspersed. (ix) Confiscation of the arms of undesirable licensees so that they do not fall into the hands of undesirable persons. (x) Formation of Central and Local Peace Committees with influential residents of the locality in an extreme emergency when it is felt that the emergency situation cannot be controlled otherwise. These residents may also be appointed Special Police Officers under Section 17 of the Madras City Police Act, 1888, or Section 16 of the Madras District Police Act, 1859, as the case may be, for the purpose of assisting the Police in the maintenance of Law and order. (12) Aftermath When the situation has been brought under reasonable control, new probl ems come into being among whi ch the fol lowing may be mentioned:-- (a) The withdrawal of Police or troops -- The instructions in paragraph 27 of G.O. Ms. No. 1985, Publ ic (General- A) dated 4th June 1956, should be followed. (b) Police precautions should ordinarily continue though on a decreasing scale until confidence is restored. (c) Similarly, it is often desirable to keep in force for some days or even weeks particular orders passed under Section 144, Criminal Procedure Code, since these assist in preventing panic. (d) There are almost invariable complaints regarding the investigation of offences committed during the disorders, and it is desirable to ensure as strict impartiality as possible, in the investigating staff and also careful supervision. 920 (e) The question of prosecution is a difficult one. Both sides usually press for them at the outset and later ask for their withdrawal. The deterrent effect of adequate sentences has to be set off against the intrigue and bitterness which prosecutions encourage; but experience would seem to show that, in the absence of very strong consideration to the contrary, the balance of advantage is very definitely in favour of offenders being brought to justice. (f) The assistance of non-officials is probably of greater value during the conciliation stage than at any other and the fullest use should be made of their cooperation. (g) Whenever, during the course of a disturbance, a person is shot by any member of the Police Force or other Government officials, the Collector in accordance with the instructions in G.O. No. 3488 Public (General-A.) dated 17th November 1955, should order a Magisterial enquiry, unless the Government themselves order an enquiry into the incidents by a Special Officer or a Tribunal. (G.0. Ms. No. 3064, Home, 3rd October 1960) (h) There is a tendency on the part of superior Police Officers and Magistrates to withdraw and assume that all is quiet as soon as an unruly assembly disperses at the first show of force. Police Officers and Magistrates should not leave the scene of a disturbance before ensuing themselves beyond all reasonable doubt that tranquillity has been permanently restored and that there is no longer any risk of a recrudescence of the disturbance. Hook-swinging and other allied practices—Prohibition.

TEN MCQ ON COMMUAL DISTURBANCE: Instructions for the guidance of officers in regard to communal disputes about processions on public roads and places - (a) Every citizen has a right to pass on the highway in front of a mosque or a temple, as the case may be in a procession attended with or without music subject to the restriction that the procession should not cause any obstruction to the traffic and should not affect public order, morality and health. No such procession can be stopped on the ground that the religious sentiments of the other community are offended, so long as that procession is in 922 order and does not infringe any reasonable restrictions imposed by any laws made in exercise of the constitutionally permissible legislative action of the State defined by the Constitution and in force at the time. (b) In processions of a religious character, if religious sentiment is to be considered, it would be no less a hardship on the adherents of a creed that they should be compelled to intermit their worship at particular point than it is on the adherents of another creed that they should be compelled to allow the passage of such a procession past the places of worship they revere. There is a right in every community to take out a religious procession with its appropriate observance along a highway and that is an inherent right and does not depend on the proof of any custom or long established practice. Even if such procession be an innovation, it would be in the exercise of legal rights and the right is independent of any longstanding tradition and is not lost by mere abstention or non-exercise of it for a number of years. Worshippers in a mosque or temple which abuts highway, have no right to compel the processionists to stop their music completely while passing such mosque or temple on the ground that there was continuous worship inside it. Even if music, whether religious or not, offends against the religious sentiments of another community, it cannot be objected to on that ground. The stopping of the music would offend the religious sentiments of the processionists just as much as its continuance may offend the religious sentiments of the others. (c) If it is apprehended that taking out any procession will lead to a breach of the peace, it is the duty of the officers concerned to take adequate precautionary measures and also action on the following lines: - (d) The responsibilities of leaders on both sides in matter of the maintenance of law and order should be stressed at a preliminary stage. (e) Any newspaper carrying on communal propaganda should be warned against indulging in any action likely to lead to further disagreements between the communities; if it becomes necessary, orders may be passed against them in this matter under Section 144 of the Cr. P.C. (f) Before the situation becomes serious, persons likely to commit a breach of peace should be arrested if necessary under Section 151 Cr. P.C as suggested in order 698. Care should, however, be taken that leaders of communities or aspirants for leadership are not converted into martyrs by being arrested. (g) If at any time it is found that places of worship are used for harbouring goondas or storing stones or brickbats or weapons a search should be made preferably with the assistance, as far as possible, of policemen of the community, whose place of worship is searched. As per relevant provisions of Cr.P.C. 923 703. Dispersal of Unlawful Assemblies -- (1) (a) It is the bounden duty of the Police to prevent cognizable offences as per Section 139 Cr. P.C. which is as follows:- "Every Police Officer may interpose for the purpose of preventing and shall, to the best of his ability, prevent the commission of any cognizable offence. (b) The police draw its authority to declare and disperse unlawful assemblies from Section 129 Cr. P.C., which is as follows:- "Any Executive Magistrate or Officer in-charge of a Police Station or in the absence of such Officer in-charge, the Police Officer not below the rank of a Subinspector, may command any unlawful assembly, or any assembly of five or more persons likely to cause disturbance of the public peace, to disperse, and it shall thereupon be the duty of the members of such assembly to disperse accordingly. If, upon being so commanded, any such assembly does not disperse, or if, without being so commanded, it conducts itself in such a manner as to show a determination not to disperse, any Executive Magistrate or Police Officer referred to in Sub-section (1), may proceed to disperse such assembly by force, and may require assistance of any male person, not being an officer or member of the armed forces and acting as such, for the purpose of dispersing such assembly, and, if necessary, arresting and confining the persons who form par t of i t , in order to disperse such assembly or that they may be punished according to law." (c) Police Officers superior in rank to an officer in-charge of a Police Station are empowered to exercise all the powers that are given to an Officer in -charge of a Police Station as per Section 36 Cr. P.C. which is as follows---. "Police Officers superior in rank to an Officer in-charge of a Police Station may exercise that same powers, throughout the local area to which they are appointed, as may be exercised by such officer within the limits of his stations'. (d) Police Officers, who are below the rank of Sub-Inspector, are not empowered to declare a mob unlawful. But they can exercise the right of a private defence which is available to every other person as per Section 97 I.P.C., which is as follows:--

(b) If the offence, the committing of which or the attempting to commit which, occasions the exercise of the right of private defence, be theft, mischief or criminal trespass, not of any of the descriptions enumerated above, the right of private defence of property does not, under Section 104 of the I.P.C., extend to the voluntary causing of death, but does extend, subject to the restrictions mentioned in Section 99 of the I.P.C., to the voluntary causing to the wrongdoer of any harm other than death. As per relevant provisions of I.P.C. 925 (c) According to Sect ion 96 I.P.C. , nothing is an offence which is done in the exercise of the right of private defence. The extent and limitation of this right are to be found in Section 98 to Section 106 of the I.P.C. (d) The Executive Magistrate is one who is appointed by the State Government as envisaged in Section 20 of the Cr. P.C. Ac cording to Section 22 of the Cr. P.C. the Government can appoint Special Executive Magistrates for particular areas and for the performance of the particular functions and confer on them such of the powers as are conferrable under the code on Executive Magistrate. (e) The procedure to be fol lowed in deal ing wi th unlawful assemblies is laid down in the "Drill and Training Manual" Section 123—Drill instruction for dealing with crowds. Rioters, mobs etc. and in section 126 — Mob firing small parties of Police. (f) All Police Officers should be fully conversant with the above noted provisions of law which enumerate their rights and responsibilities in dealing with unlawful assemblies and with the drill procedure as laid down in the Drill and Training Manual. (g) In any situation arising, where the Police are compelled to deal with unlawful assemblies in different places of the same village or town, it would be necessary to secure, as far as possible, the presence and permission of a Magistrate before resorting to the use of force for dispersing any or all of such assemblies. (h)The presence of an Execut ive Magist rate in the trouble spot s hould be ensured wherever possible. If trouble is expected in number of places simultaneously, a large number of Magistrates should be made available. (4) (a) When a Magistrate is present, an assembly shall not be called upon to disperse nor shall force be used to disperse it without the order of such Magistrate, provided that if a gazetted Police Officer is present in the absence of the Magistrate, such Police Officer may act independently in ordering an assembly to disperse. (b) If an Executive Magistrate is present at the spot, it shall be his responsibility to declare the mob unlawful and direct them to disperse. If the members of the unlawful assembly do not disperse, he shall direct the Police to use force that is necessary for the purpose. The nature of force to be used, Tear gas, lathi -charge or water Jet and the method and quantum of force to be used should be decided by the senior - most Police officer present on the spot. Thereupon the Executive Magist rate shall not interfere with the Physical operation of mob dispersal. (c) In the absence of an Executive Magistrate, the senior most Police Officer not below the rank of Sub-Inspector will carry out the functions of the Executive Magistrate in addition to his own. 926 (d) If any Police Officer below the rank of a Sub-Inspector is faced with a mob, he shall exercise his right of private defence, taking particular care not to exceed his rights. (e) All commands to the Police are to be given by the Officer -in-Command of the party. (f) The main principle to be observed is that the minimum necessary force to achieve the desired object should be used regulating it according to the circumstances of each case. The object of the use of force is to prevent disturbance of the peace or to disperse an assembly which threatens such disturbances and has either refused to disperse or shows a determination not to disperse; no punitive or repressive considerations being permitted to become operative while this is being done. (g) Having decided on the kind of force to be used, the Officer in-charge of the Police will be responsible for deciding as to the each amount of the force to be used, the manner of using it and for setting the details of the operations connected with the use of force the Police Officer should, of course, bear in mind the principle, that no force more than is necessary should be used. (h) If the members of the unlawful assembly do not disperse, the Executive Magistrate or the senior most Police Officer present in the absence of the Executive Magistrate shall direct the Police to use force, that is necessary for the purpose. The nature of force to be used, tear Gas, Lathi/cane charge, or water jet and the method or quantum of force to be used should be decided by the senior most Police Officer present on the spot. (i) If the crowd refuses to follow the lawful instructions to disperse, the riot flag should be raised, the attention of the mob drawn through a bugle call with long blast and a clear warning that force would be used to disperse them, will be given through megaphone. The operation will commence if the mob refuses to heed to the warning. (j) Officers commanding police parties will, on every occasion, when employed in the suppression of a riot or enforcement of the law, ensure that the fullest warning is given to the mob in a clear and distinct manner before any order is given to use tear gas or lathi/cane or fire arms and to use the most effortful means to explain before hand to the people opposed to them, in the event of the Police Party ordering to fire that the fire will be effective. (k) If any or all these methods fail to disperse the mob and if in his opinion nothing short of firing can disperse the mob, the Executive Magistrate will order fire to be opened. Again, the manner in which firing is to be directed against the mob, 927 type of ammunition to be used and the method of firing are the individual responsibilities of the senior most Police Officer. (l) The Police used for dispersing mobs should wear uniform including boots, putties and steel/ fibre glass helmets. The Police party should be provided with riot shields. The tear gas sections and the armed body protecting the tear gas section should wear anti-gas respirators. (5) If the crowd becomes defiant, tear gas should be used effectively. If this becomes infructuous then lathi/cane charge can be made. If the crowd is still defiant, resort may be had to the use of fire arms. (6) (a) It is not necessary that on every occasion tear gas should be used. Use of tear gas will depend on the availability of a sufficient stock of gas ammunition, wind direction, nature of the neighbourhood and availability of escape routes for the mob. On no account should gas be used in poor visibility especially between sun-set and sun-rise, and inside buildings or when the wind direction is such that the smoke will affect the Police party or innocent people in the vicinity or when the mob is too close to the Police party. (b) Use of fire engines to spray water-jets at the mob also depends on the existing circumstances. This method of dispersal is possible when the mob is not armed and is not very violent. It can be tried either before or after the use of tear gas. Fast colours added to the water will enable the identification of the members of the unlawful assembly for the purpose of subsequent arrest and prosecution. The decision to use fire engines should be taken before hand by the Commissioner of Police or the Superintendent of Police in consultation with the official of the Fire Service. (c) Fire units and their crew requisitioned for dispersing crowd should be given adequate Police protection to ensure the safety of their person and equipment in the event of the crowd becoming violent. (d) A fire Officer not below the rank of Sub Officer should personally be in charge of the fire unit and should ensure that only spray nozzles are used or directing water on crowds. He should ensure that the ordinary type of nozzles which gives a solid jet of water is never used in such cases. Note. — It should be clearly understood that the above method of dispersal will have the desired effect only on an unarmed crowd which is not violent. (e) If water jet or tear gas fails to disperse the mob, lathi/cane charge should be ordered. Lathi/Cane charges should not be attempted if the strength of the Police force is not adequate to create an effect on the crowd and the crowd is likely to overwhelm the Police party easily. The personnel engaged in the lathi/cane charge should be under the proper control and the charging should cease as soon as the 928 desired objective is achieved. The procedure laid down in the Drill and Training Manual, will be followed. Care should be taken to prevent the lathi/ cane sections getting separated from the main party and the Commander. (7) (a) If lathi charge also fails and when it is certain that nothing short of firing can disperse the mob, a distinct and clear warning that firing would be resorted to resulting in loss of life should be given. Bugles will be used to draw the attention of the crowd. Riot flag will be raised and the warning administered through megaphones.

TEN MCQ ON MOB CONTROL: The cardinal principles in mob firing are:– (i) firing should be resorted to only when all other means of mob dispersal fail. (ii) firing should be selective and control led. The senior most officer will watch the reaction of the crowd after each round or set of rounds is fired. As soon as the mob shows signs of dispersal he should order cease fire. (iii) Under no circumstances should blank rounds be used or rounds fired in the air as warning shots. Once firing is decided upon it should be effective. (iv) Aim should be kept low preferably well below the waist level and directed against the most threatening part of the mob, and (v) The Police force should exercise strict restraint and self control even under the gravest provocation and it must, under no circumstances, take action in a retaliatory or revengeful spirit. (c) The Officer in charge over the Arms Squad should get the squad ready for mob firing. But, it is the senior most officer who should give all the commands relating to firing. (d) If the senior-most officer is of opinion that it will suffice, he will give the fire order to one or two individuals only. If, however, he considers that this will be insufficient and the mob will over power the Police party, he will give the word of command to one or two files, the other files being held in reserve. Normally, firing will commence with buckshots, the fire of each person or file will be given by the regular word of command by the officer in charge of the party, (e) If the crowd does not disperse after buckshots are fired, ball ammunition (.410 or .303) will be used. But if the crowd is in a very violent mood and has come too close to the Police party, buckshots with their limited stopping power will be useless. In such circumstances, ball ammunition will be used straightaway. 929 (f) An armed force should never be brought so close to a large and dangerous mob as to risk its either being over whelmed by number or being forced to inflict heavy causalities. (8) (a) After making sure that the mob will not be unreasonable the operation will be closed. But sufficient strength will be left behind till normalcy returns. (b)(i) Immediate steps should be taken to give First Aid to the injured and rush them to the hospital. Armed guards should be posted to watch the dead bodies till inquest is completed. (ii) Relatives or close friends of the dead, injured or affected persons shall be notified at the earliest possible moment. (c) It should be the endeavour of the Police to arrest as many rioters as feasible from the spot itself. Special parties should be kept in reserve for this purpose. (d) Police photographers should cover every incident of mob dispersal. They should, wherever, available, carry movie or video cameras to capture the sequence of events and to record the identification of the rioters. (e) Soon after the operation is over, the senior most Police Officer will flash message and prepare situation reports wi th details of the operation, time and sequence of events, details of force used, ammunition spent, causalities on either side, etc. (f) The Police do not have a right to take away the life of a person. Under the scheme of criminal law prevailing in India, it would be an offence, if the death is caused in exercise of right of private defence. Another provision under which a Police Officer can justify causing death of a person is section 46 of Cr.P.C. This provision authorizes the Police to use force, even extending to the causing of death, if found necessary to arrest the person accused of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life. Thus it is evident that death caused in an encounter, if not justified, would amount to an offence of culpable homicide. In such cases and in cases where a complaint is made against the Police, alleging commission of a criminal act on their part, which makes out a cognizable case of culpable homicide, an FIR to this effect must be registered under appropriate sections of the IPC. Such case shall invariably by investigated by the State CBCID.

TEN MCQ ON FPB: Method of taking finger prints: Appliances-- The appl iances required for taking finger prints comprise a g l a s s o r me t a l s l a b , a r u b b e r r o l l e r a n d a p o t o r t u b e o f p r i n t e r ' s i n k . These must be kept scrupulously clean and free from dust, grit, and hairs. The slab should be freshly cleaned before use each day, all particles of old ink being rubbed off. The roller, when not in use, should be kept wrapped up in a piece of clean oiled paper. Both slab and roller should periodically be cleaned with soap, benzene or kerosene. The p o t o r tu b e o f i nk s ho uld b e k ep t t i ght l y c l o s e d wh e n no t i n us e . (b) Preparat ion of appl iances. The slab must be per fect ly smooth and should be wiped f r e e o f d u s t b e f o r e u s e . A sma l l q u a n t i t y o f t h e i n k then should be put on the s lab wi th the point of a kni fe and the rol ler used to br ing i t down to the f inest possible f i lm so that the glass is dimly visible through the ink. Experience has shown that it is easier to start with a very small quantity of ink and to increase it as necessary. If too much ink has been put on the slab, a sheet of paper laid on i t and rol led over 1064 with the roller will generally reduce it sufficiently. If the ink is dry and thick, it wil l be found that with a li ttle perseverance it can be worked up smooth on the slab. (c) Inking the fingers. Before inking the fingers they should be thoroughly washed with soap, if necessary, and rubbed clean and dry, a s t h e presence of s l i g h t e s t moisture o n t h e f i n g e r wi l l c a u s e blotches and blur the finger impressions. Some persons perspire heavily and the presence of the sweat on the bulbs of the fingers may prevent the oily ink from adhering to the fingers resulting in the impressions being smudged. Under such circumstances denatured spirit or alcohol can be used with much advantage for drying the fingers. Only the inner por t ion of the upper phalanges of the f ingers should be inked. To take rol led' impres s ions , place the f inger on the inked s lab, the plane of the nail being at right angles to the slab, and turn over till the bulb surface which originally faced to the left, now faces to the right.

When the r ight hand has been finished the operator should proceed to take the prints rol led' and plain' of the left hand in a similar manner. The plain impressions of the right and the left thumbs should be taken simultaneously in the spaces provided. (g) Ent r y of det ai l s on s l ips – When the finger prints of both hands have been taken, the slip should be turned over and the subjects name, residence details and convictions filled in. 1065 The subject should then sign the form or make his mark if unable to wri te and immediately afterwards, plain' print of his left thumb should be taken in the space provided for the purpose.
