POLICE BEAT MCQ

LEASE FORMULATE MCQ AND ANSWERS FOR BEAT AND PATROL DUTY TEXT GIVEN: LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY SHOULD BE MODERATE TO HIGHER FOR POLICE MEN: BEATS AND PATROLS. 365. Village Beats----Principles. The pr incipl es governing the despat ch of cons t abl es on village beats are, firstly, that the village authorities should b e h e l d r e s p o n s i b l e f o r r e p o r t i n g c r ime a n d s u p p l y i n g i n formation about the movements of bad characters, but it should be clearly understood that this does not take away the responsibility of the police for gathering information necessary for the effective prevention and detection of crime, and secondly that constables should not, as a rule, visit villages, except under definite orders, for a definite purpose or unless the village lies in their way to or f r om a n y d u t y. Prevention must necessarily take precedence over detection. Intimate knowledge of the conditions prevailing in the station jurisdiction and of the movements and doings of 498 criminals are conditions precedent to the successful prevention of crime. To gain such knowledge, an efficient beat system is a primary necessity. 366. Purposes for sending beat constables --- Constables shall be sent on beat for the following purposes; (1) To provide police services within easy reach of the community; (2) Policing of a manageable area and households by specified Constables and Head Constables; (3) Promote awareness and thorough understanding of the policing needs of the community and of the law by the community; (4) Promote and build voluntary and participative support through Village Committees/Village Administrative Officers and groups in preventive and detective work of police and protection of lives and properties and honour; (5) help understanding and reconciliation in caste, communal and group hostilities; (6) Gather, record and communicate information on crime, criminals, strangers, factions, organized criminal gangs, terrorists, anti-national and anti-social elements; (7) Provide day and night patrols to keep order, prevent crime, intercede when necessary; (8) maintain effective surveillance on history sheeted persons and ex- convicts; (9) Arrest of persons in terms of section 41 CrPC; (10) Preservation of crime scenes and assistance in investigation. 367. Bad Characters---Enquiry of --- Constables sent on village beat should make enquiry about the presence of bad characters, about their doings, conduct and livelihood from the date of such previous enquiry. They should be specifically instructed that there should be no domiciliary visit except it is the house of Habitual Offender. They should not be sent out as a matter of course to make such enquiry at night. Special arrangements should however be made for such enquiry when circumstances require it.- 368. Selection of villages to be visited ---- (1) All the villages in the jurisdiction of a rural Police Station are not of equal importance nor is it possible, with the limited manpower in a station, to pay full attention to all the villages, for if this is attempted, it will result in important villages not receiving adequate attention. For this purpose, all villages under a Police Station including those under the Outposts, if any, will be first classified into the following three classes:- 499 Class A Important Villages, B Unimportant Villages, C Deserted Villages. (2) The following are the types of villages which should be classified as important or Class A villages:- (i) Villages in which there have recently been frequent outbreak of crime. (ii) Villages in which K.Ds, B.Cs, suspicious strangers, ex-convicts, active and dangerous criminals reside. (iii) Villages in which there are acute factions. (3) Thereafter Class A villages will be conveniently grouped into suitable beats, each beat being described as I, II, III, etc., and a Beat Book in Form No. 54 kept for each beat. These villages will be called ‗Beat Villages‘. (4) The selection and grouping of villages as outlined above will change from time to time. Suppose a village was constituted into a beat, because an active bad character was residing in it and for no other consideration and subsequently, if the bad character dies or is convicted and sentenced to undergo a long-term imprisonment, the village loses its importance. It should then be included in a miscellaneous beat or treated as a route village attached to a regular beat. Again, if a village in a miscellaneous beat gains importance through a sudden outbreak of crime, it should be separated from the miscellaneous beat and added on to an existing beat or itself made into a beat. (5) In the constitution of beats, geographical positions of villages should be the primary criterion. A beat should not normally consist of too many Class A villages and these villages should be situated so close to one another that a constable can visit all of them one after another and return to the station within a reasonable time. (6) If a Class A village is so situated that it cannot be joined to another Class A village to form a beat, then that village alone should be constituted into a beat. (7) A village, Class B or Class C, which is not itself a beat village but which is so situated that constables going on a beat should pass through or near it, will be called a ‗route‘ village. There may be one or more such villages in respect of each beat. They will be shown separately under the heading ‗Route Villages‘ in the Beat Book. (8) Class B and Class C villages, other than ‗Beat‘ and ‗Route‘ villages, will, on the basis of their location, be grouped into a convenient number of ‗Miscellaneous Beats‘, and a Beat Book kept for each such beat. (9) The beats should be organized taking into consideration the crime, the vigilance required, factions prevailing, clandestine activities being organized in the area etc. The 500 frequency of visits and period of stay depends upon the sensitive or hypersensitive nature of the area. The classification keeps changing from time to time. The villages can be classified as sensitive or hypersensitive according to the existing crime and law and order situations and the past history of the concerned village. (10) Each beat will be properly defined and beat constables and beat supervisory officers will be detailed for gust, patrolling and collection of intelligence pertaining to each beat. The category of each village could be changed from time to time in the light of crime and law and order situations of each village. (11) Special attention should be given to villages in which bad characters reside i.e., offenders, criminals, or members of organized crime gangs or syndicates or those who foment or incite caste, communal violence, for which history sheets are maintained and require surveillance, villages in which there have been in the immediate past frequent incidents or outbreaks of crime, either against persons or property, villages in which there are acute factions due to group rivalries, political, communal or caste or other tensions, and villages in which organized criminal or drug related activity or manufacture. Likewise the villages in which trafficking in firearms and movements of explosives exists or where there is possibilities of shelter being given to the terrorists and other organized criminals exist, should also be given special attention by the beat officers of such villages. (12) The beats in an outpost or police station jurisdiction should not be more than 3 or 6 respectively, and not more than 8 in both put together. Each beat should cover approximately 1000 households or 7,500 population. If a police station area has 40,000 or more population, there should normally be six beats, with each beat covering a population of 6000 - 10000 depending on factors mentioned above. Such other factors as most convenient, accessibility, road, rail, network, communication facilities and the number of sensitive or hypersensitive localities of the villages should also be considered. Sensitive and hypersensitive villages should be distributed in all beats and not grouped into one or two. A beat book will be maintained for each general beat. The crime chart should show the areas covered by and the serial number of each beat. (13) The Sub-divisional Officer, during the annual inspections, must particularly ensure whether the beats have been organized conventionally and based on all relevant and realistic factors. He should personally tour in one or two beats along with SHO and the police officers assigned to the beat in the same manner as a beat Constable does, to make sure that it is organized properly and can be served in the manner prescribed. (14) Two Police officers i.e., either two Police Constables or one Constable and one Head Constable should be allotted to each beat. They are responsible to visit and patrol sensitive village. The hyper-sensitive villages should be more frequently visited. It is not necessary that all villages in a beat should be covered every time the constables go to that beat. They should cover the villages in the beats at least once a week not only in the day time 501 but also at nights. They shall proceed on beat duty at least 4 times in a month, each visit being spread over at least two days and one night. The SHO should ensure that they are not allotted any other duty in the PS when the Constables/HCs in charge of a beat proceed on beat duty once a week. The SHO may, however, earmark any two days or more if necessary to the Constables in charge of the beat to proceed to their respective beat areas to discharge their responsibilities and duties enumerated herein. The SHO should obtain prior permission for any deviation from this from Inspector/SDPO. The Inspector shall surprise at least one beat in a PS in a month in addition to regular inspections. (15) Visiting villages and staying there is essential for efficient policing in a beat area. The smaller villages attached to larger village, should also be treated as a separate village for the purpose of village visiting or patrols either by day or night. All those areas constituted into Municipalities may be called Towns. Major Municipalities and Municipal Corporations should be identified as cities. (16) The duration of the visit by the Constables and Head Constables during the beat in a village depends upon the purpose. Visits should include all hamlets and settlements or colonies. The SHO should visit villages as prescribed. The beat area constables and HC before leaving the PS for duty on their beats should make relevant entries as to the purpose and duration in the General Diary. Visits include patrol by day or night, besides other duties, should be for a specific purpose. They should neither be hurried nor- unduly prolonged. All visits and work accomplished should be reflected in the relevant records. (17) (a) Villages to be regularly visited should be conveniently gr o u p e d a n d a b e a t b o o k (Fo rm 54 ) k e p t f o r e a c h gr o u p . Every beat including a miscellaneous beat should have a Beat Book. Constables going on a beat should take the Beat Book along with them and note in them, under appropriate columns, the information they gather. Separate beat books wi l l be kept for use when constables are deputed upon the occasional duties already specified. (b) Beat Constables are required to bring the signature of a village officer or of a respectable inhabitant of the village in proof of their visit to a village. If the signature of any of the persons could not be obtained the reasons there for should be mentioned in the column. The Beat Book should be carried by the constable while on beat duty. For the purpose of checking beat books, a Book in Form No 55 shall be kept in the station, in which shall be entered the usual signatures of the village officers and of any respectable villagers selected to sign in beat books. (c) Point books in Form No. 56 shall be supplied to village officers and/or selected respectable inhabitants of the respective village for ensuring cross checking of the visit made by the beat constable. It shall be the duty of beat constables and officers checking beats to sign and date their names in the point books whenever they visit the villages. Beat constables shall obtain the signature of the point book holder in 502 the beat ticket. Checking Officers, Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors shall also see whether constables who have visited the village subsequent to the previous check have signed the point books. (d) The Constables assigned to a beat should perform the following duties: (i) Gather information about movement of bad characters, suspicious strangers and wandering gangs in the village; (ii) Watch specially dangerous criminals or gangs which require surveillance; (iii) pick up information from or about travellers at camping grounds, choultries, rest houses, railway premises, ferries and places of public resort ; (iv) ascertain any definite piece of information and serve processes; (v) find out whether any crime has occurred in the village after the last visit of a member of the Police Station staff to the village; (vi) gather information about the visit of any bad characters, suspicious strangers and wandering gangs in the village; (vii) make enquiries about the movements and doings of ex-convicts including K.Ds., and suspects and whether any ex-convict or other person has been spending money lavishly or incurring expenses beyond his normal means; (viii) find out whether there are any receivers of stolen properties in the village and whether any known receiver has been contacted by any bad character or strangers; (ix) make enquiries about liquor shops, illicit distillation of liquor, vice dens, gambling houses, drug peddlers, unlicensed weapons, gatherings and panchayats, activities of political parties, factions or ill-feelings in respect of lands, temples, processions, festivals, religious or communal disputes, stone throwing likely to give rise to riots and other matters affecting the public peace ; (x) to gather information about the delivering of lectures, holding of meeting of political nature or otherwise; Collect intelligence about agitational activities of political parties or other organizations and clandestine activity of any organization or their associates, or members or supporters. (xi) to make enquiries in particular villages whether bad characters have been, or are, in the neighbourhood; (xii) to gather information in villages the authorities of which cannot, it is believed, be trusted to report information. (xiii) Identify through discreet enquiry, observation and verification about habitual offenders, especially dangerous criminals, the nature of crime they are addicted to, or gangs, 503 including members of organized crime syndicates requiring surveillance irrespective of their area of operation; (xiv) Ascertain or verify any definite piece of information concerning crime or criminals; Service of summons and execution of warrants. (xv) To notice and ascertain any fresh settlers in the village or visitors and the places from where they have arrived and their friends and relatives in the village with whom they are staying or providing support to them. (e) The Station House Officer should decide the intervals at which he should send men on the different beats in his jurisdiction according to the importance of the beats. Constables should be deputed to beats as often as possible, visits to more important beats being more frequent than to others. It is not necessary that all villages in a beat should be covered every time a constable is sent to that beat. This is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Station House Officer. It should, however, be ensured by the Station House Officer that every village whether of Class A or B or C in the jurisdiction of the station is visited by a Beat Constable at least once a month. (f) Every constable in the station should be fully acquainted with every beat and he should know about suspicious characters and undetected crimes of each beat. Whenever a constable is sent out on duty either on beat duty or any other duty, the Station House Officer should give specific instructions to the constable regarding such matters as the nature of the work he has to perform, the manner in which it should be performed and the time by which he should return to the Police Station. (g) Constables going on beat duty will proceed to the beat direct from the Police Station. Likewise, on return they should report at the Police Station before going home. The departure of a constable on beat duty and the instructions given to him by the Station House Officer should be entered in the Station House Diary as well as in the Beat Book. Beats should be served not only in the daytime but also at nights. (h) Beat constables should be instructed to visit Railway Stations and Bus Stands in their beat and ascertain from the Platform Constables or Bus Stand Duty Constables or from others any information regarding the arrival or departure of suspicious foreigners and bad characters and obtain the signature of the Platform Constable or Bus Stand Duty Constable, where one is posted, in their Beat Books. (i) It is incumbent upon the police to ensure the safety of the road and strict attention must, therefore, be paid to road patrolling. Unduly severe work should not be demanded from night patrol men. They should be sent out with definite orders which may be varied, as circumstances permit. It should always be possible to arrange for a patrol to take some rest at a named place. If possible, two constables should patrol together. To secure the due performance of road patrolling, constant checking is absolutely essential, and superior 504 officers must see that a sub- ordinate officer, from Inspector downwards, perform their fair share of this duty.

FORMULATE TEN MCQ BASED ON TEXT FOR RAILWAY POLICE CRIME DUTY: (iv) The bulk of the crime on railways consists of:- (a) theft in running passenger trains; (b) theft on platforms, in passengers‘ waiting rooms and stationary trains; 589 (c) theft on running goods trains; (d) theft from goods sheds and stationary wagons; and (e) theft of railway materials. (v) Thefts in running passenger trains are generally committed by persons who board the train at one station and escape at another, having committed one or more thefts in between. Such offences are mostly committed at night. If constables on platform and train beat duties are alert, it should not be difficult to prevent and detect such offences, particularly by old offenders known to the police. It is the primary duty of the constables on beat duty to keep a keen look-out for suspicious strangers and known registered criminals visiting railway stations and travelling by trains. It is, of course, important that beat constables should be able to identify by sight all old offenders addicted to railway offences. When they come across old offenders or suspicious strangers in trains or station premises, they should interrogate them as to the purpose of their journey or visits, as the case may be, and if they are not able to give satisfactory account of their movements or articles in their possession, they should be arrested under Section 41 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and sent up for remand. This will help to combat thefts not only in running trains but also on platform and in passengers‘ waiting rooms and stationary trains. (vi) In order to prevent thefts on platforms, in passengers‘ waiting rooms and stationary trains, there should be beats covering station premises for about half an hour before the arrival and half an hour after the departure of every passenger train. At stations where there are night or early morning trains, there should be patrols throughout the night, as passengers may come to the station in the early hours of the night and sleep there. It is not, however, the intention that there should be a beat in every station. Thefts in passenger sheds, stationary trains and on platforms generally occur only at certain important stations. A study of the past crime will show which are the stations that require platform and passengers‘ waiting room beats. Platform beats should not be served throughout the day and night as a general rule, as this obviously involves avoidable waste of man-power. (vii) The only effective method of preventing thefts from running goods trains is by the provision of armed guards to goods trains at night in sectors where such offences are common. But, the provision of armed guards on such trains is the responsibility of the Railway Protection Force, and the Railway Police will undertake this work only under exceptional circumstances. (viii) Thefts from goods sheds and stationary wagons can be prevented by efficient police patrols. At important stations where there will be wagons stabled in large numbers, there should be such patrols throughout the day and night. But, in other places, constables on platform duty should be able to look after goods sheds and stationary wagons also. 590 (ix) Police should maintain a general vigilance in regard to railway materials. But, if train, yard and platform beats are efficiently performed, thefts of railway materials can be automatically controlled. Procedure. 442. Telegraphic Reports -- (1) All cognizable cases, serious losses of prop e r t y , a l l o f f e n c e s f a l l i n g u n d e r S e c t i o n 1 2 6 o f t h e Indian Railways Act, 1890 (Act IX of 1890) and other important occurrences reported at outside railway station shall be telegraphed at once to the Station House Officer of the Railway Police Station of the Section and also to the nearest District Police Station House Officer and to the Superintendent, Railway Police, by the senior member of the platform staff or the Beat Constables.

(2) Sometimes in rural parts and more often in towns, complaints of cognizable offences are made directly at the Police Stations. In such a case, the Officer-in-charge of the Station should reduce the complaint to writing, read it over to the complainant or informant and obtain his signature, or his thumb impression. The thumb-impression of the informant will usually be taken only in the case of illiterate persons. This should be done on the First Information Report form itself. 733 (3) In the case of complaints a copy of the First Information Report should be furnished free of charge to the complainant or informant under proper acknowledgement immediately after the complaint is registered. [G.O.Ms.No.865 Home (Polic.1) Department Dated: 09.06.2007] (4) Information of the commission of a cognizable crime that shall first reach the police, whether oral or written, shall be treated as the First Information. It may be given by a person acquainted with the facts directly or on hearsay, but in either case it constitutes the First Information required by law, upon which the investigation under Section 157, Criminal Procedure Code, shall be taken up. When hearsay information of a crime is given the Station House Officer shall not wait to record as the first information the statement of the actual complainant or an eye-witness. (5) A vague rumour should be distinguished from an oral report and should not be reduced to writing or signed by the informant but merely entered in the Station House Diary and should it, on subsequent information, prove well founded, such subsequent information shall constitute the First Information. If the rumour is in regard to the occurrence of a serious crime, the Station House Officer must embark upon an immediate enquiry to verify its authenticity and, if found true, obtain a complaint and register and investigate it. (6) Police Officers shall not defer drawing up the First Information Report until they have tested the truth of the complaint. They shall not await the result of medical examination before recording the First Information when a complaint is made of grievous hurt or other cognizable crime. (7) While recording the complaint, the Station House Officer has to carefully question the complainant and record a detailed and full account of the incident, lest the want of essential particulars in the complaint should affect the case adversely at a later stage. It is of utmost importance to secure all particulars regarding the occurrence in the first instance and to record them in detail. Care should also be taken to see if the complainant is trying to exaggerate an actual occurrence or trying to give the colour of a cognizable case to an incident of a non-cognizable nature. (8) Any person who refuses without reasonable cause to sign the copies of the first information is liable to punishment under Section 180 of the Indian Penal Code. (9) The provisions of sections 182, 183 and 184 Cr.P.C. as regards the jurisdiction of the courts to inquire into criminal offences should be borne in mind while registering cases on the basis of the First Information received by the Police Officers. (10) Every report of a cognizable offence should be registered in the First Information Report book, even if it appears to be untrue, exaggerated or of civil nature. 734 (11) If the Officer-in-charge of a Police Station receives an oral report of a cognizable offence during his tour, he should take down the report in writing and have it signed or marked by the person who made it. He should then send it, with an endorsement duly signed by him, to the Police Station, where it will be treated as a written report and registered in the First Information Report book. In the meantime, he will himself commence the investigation. (12) Every effort must be made to secure the most precise description of the stolen property from the complainant at the time when the first information is recorded. If the complainant is unable to furnish a list of property when he gives the first information, he shall be required to supply the list in writing as soon as possible after the arrival of the investigating officer at the spot. (13) A First Information Report once recorded, shall in no circumstances be withheld or cancelled by the Station House Officer. (14) As soon as the report has been entered in the First Information Report book, the substance of the report must be briefly recorded in the Station House Diary. (15) The First Information Report is a very important document. It is the earliest record made of an alleged offence before there is time for its particulars to be forgotten or embellished. It can be used to corroborate or impeach the testimony of the person lodging it under Sections 145, 157 and 158 of the Indian Evidence Act. It can also be used under Clause (1) of Section 32 and illustrations (j) and (k) under Section 8 of the Indian Evidence Act. The necessity of drawing up this document with the utmost care and accuracy and with all available details cannot, therefore, be overemphasized. (16) A copy of FIR should be furnished to the complainant immediately.

TEN MCQ ON INVESTIGATION : TEXT GIVEN: Investigation to be impartial – (1) Inves t igat ing of f icers are warned agains t prematurely commi tting themselves to any view of the facts for, or against a person. The aim of an investigating officer should be to find out the truth, and, to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to preserve an open mind throughout the Inquiry. 741 (2) Charge-sheets in cases and counter cases.—In a complaint and counter complaint obviously arising out of the same transaction, the investigating officer should enquire into both of them and adopt one or the other of the two courses viz., (1) to charge the case where the accused were the aggressors or (2) to refer both the cases if he should find them untrue. He should place before the cour t a def ini t e case whi ch he asks i t to accept . The in - vestigating officer in such cases should not accept into one complaint and examine only witnesses who support it and give no explanat ion at al l for the injuries caused to the other side. It is his duty to exhibit the counter -complaint in the court and also to prove medical certificates of persons wounded on the opposite side. The truth in these cases is invariably not in strict conformity with either complaint and it is quite necessary that all the facts are placed b e f o r e t h e c o u r t t o e n a b l e i t t o a r r i v e a t t h e t r u t h a n d a just decision. (3) If the Investigating Officer finds that the choice of either course is difficult, viz., to charge one of the two cases or to throw out both, he should seek the opinion of the Public Prosecutor of the district and act accordingly. A final report should be sent in respect of the case refer red as mistake of law and the complainant or the counter -complainant , as the case may be, should be advised about the disposal by a not ice in Form No. 90 and to seek remedy before the specified Magistrate, if he is aggrieved by the disposal of the case by the Police. (G. O. Ms. No. 182, Home, dated 23rd January I958.) (4) General instructions to Investigation – (a) Section 173 of the Code of Criminals Procedure lays down that every investigation, under Chapter XII of the Code, shall be completed without unnecessary delay. The provisions of the section are mandatory and any avoidable delay in the submission of charge-sheets, therefore, militates against these basic principles of law. In cases where the accused are caught red-handed with property, there should be no delay at all in the submission of charge-sheets. As a rule in such cases, the accused should be forwarded in custody to the Magistrate having jurisdiction, along with the charge-sheet, except in cases where the accused is a stranger and his antecedents have to be verified. In offences against person, including cases of murder, there should normally be no difficulty in completing the investigation and filing the charge-sheet before the expiry of the initial remand period of 15 days granted under section 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Though the Magistrate has powers to authorize detention of the accused person in custody under this section for a period of 90 days where the investigation relates to an offence punishable with death, imprisonment for life or imprisonment for term not less than 10 years and for a period of 60 days in any other offence, the investigating officers should not delay the filing of the charge 742 sheet. It should be noted that on expiry of sixty days the accused person shall have to be released on bail if he furnished bail. (b) According to section 167 (5) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, if in any case triable by a Magistrate as a summons case, the investigation is not concluded within a period of six months from the date on which the accused was arrested, the Magistrate shall have to make an order stopping further investigation into the offence unless the officer making the investigation satisfies the Magistrate that for special reasons and in the interests of justice continuation of the investigation beyond the period of six months is necessary. Therefore, the supervisory officers should ensure that the investigation of cases is completed within a period of six months and a report to the jurisdictional court is sent as required under section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Even after submission of this report, the investigation officer may continue further investigation and if he obtains further evidence, oral or documentary, during such investigation, he should forward to the Magistrate a further report or reports regarding such evidence in the prescribed form. (c) The investigating officers should also bear in mind the bar imposed by section 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation. (d) It is the duty of the Superintendents, Sub-Divisional Police officers and Inspectors to see that investigations are promptly and vigorously carried out and that the provisions of Section 173, 167 and 468 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are strictly adhered to. (e) The investigation in ordinary cases should normally be completed within one month and in heinous crimes within two months. Where the investigation is required to be carried on beyond these periods, the investigation officer should obtain extension of time by adducing reasons. (f) In ordinary cases, extension up to three months may be granted month by month by the Sub-Divisional Police officer and beyond three months by the Superintendent of Police. In heinous cases, extension up to four months may be granted by the Superintendent of Police and if the period exceeds four months, by the Range Deputy Inspector General of Police.

(8) Guideline for dealing with disputes relating to land and money matters:- 1. In disputes relating to land and money matters, where prima-facie a cognizable offence is made out on the basis of evidence/documents accompanying a complaint, the police should register a case by drawing a FIR and proceed with the investigation. 746 2. Where on the face of the complaint it is not clear to the police officer whether the wrong committed is civil or criminal, he should make a preliminary enquiry, which includes referring the matter to his superiors or law officers and seek guidance. The complainant should be informed about this and an endorsement for enquiry given to him. Such an enquiry should be completed within fifteen days and if it discloses a cognizable offence, action should be taken as mentioned in Para 1. 3. While conduction such an enquiry, it should be borne in mind that the Cr.PC does not provide the Police to summon a person to the Police Station till a criminal case has been registered. 4. It is also incumbent upon the Police to ensure that the delay in lodging the FIR does not damage the case of the complainant in any manner. 5. Law gives the power of arrest of any suspect/accused to the police officer during the investigation of such a case. However, the arrest of the accused should not be resorted to unless it is either required for furthering the cause of investigation or preventing a continuance of the offence. Even then such arrest should ordinarily be cleared in writing by officer not below the rank of SDPO in districts and DC in Commissionerates. 6. The Commissioner /Superintendent of police should closely monitor and ensure that the power of arrest is not misused. 7. Where an office of criminal trespass is made out, it is incumbent upon the police not only to prosecute the offender but to ensure that the offence of criminal trespass is not continued. The trespasser should be asked to move out of the concerned property and if he refuses, police my arrest and remove him physically. 8. The Police should not assist or abet any person in causing changes in the property such as demolition of boundary walls, breaking of doors and locks etc. 9. If at any time during the investigation the complainant and accused want to compromise it should be done in accordance with section 320 Cr.P.C. 10. At times, reference is made to police in disputes, which are already under the scrutiny of a civil court. The court may have granted interim injunction against any party or person involved in the dispute. This should not prevent the police from taking action as a transaction may involve both a civil wrong and a criminal offence. However, police action should be restricted to the criminal part only. 11. When police protection is sought for the implementation of a civil court order, it should be given readily. Police should not insist on a specific court direction to give police protection. 12. Where the dispute prima-facie appears to be of a civil nature, the police officer should not enter into any enquiry or cause settlements. 13. Where there are special agencies to look after certain economic offences such as EOW & CCIW, the station house officer should not entertain or enquire into such complaints but direct the complainant to these agencies. 747 14.

TEN MCQ ON BLOOD GROUP WITH HIGHER LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY ON SCIENTIFIC LINES: SCIENTIFIC AIDS TO DETECTION. (v) The blood group test in stain cases. When the blood cells of one human individual are brought into contact with the blood serum of another human individual of differing group clotting or adhering together of the red blood cells is frequently caused. This phenomenon is known as agglutination. This agglutination is brought about by agglutinable substances or agglutinogen present in the red blood cells and agglutinating agents or agglutining present in the serum. By testing the red blood cells and the serum of the bloods of many individuals against one another, it has been establ ished that there are only two agglut inogens. A and B only two agglutinins (a) and (b) in human bloods. The blood groups, which are four in number are governed by the disposition of these agglutinogens and agglutinins present in the red blood cells and serum respectively. These four groups are O, A, B and AB named after the agglutinogens present in the red blood cells, O being zero. (G. O. No. 1836, P.H. 3rd August 1943). The blood groups are as follows – Group O -- The red blood cells of this group contain no agglutinogen but the serum contains agglutinins (a) and (b). The serum of this group agglut inates the red blood cel ls of groups A, B and AB. The red blood cells are inagglutinable. Group A --- The red blood cel l s contain agglut inogen A and the serum contains agglut inin B. The serum of this group agglut inates the red blood cells of groups B and AB. The red blood cells of this group are agglutinated by the serum of groups O and B. Group B --- The red blood cel ls contain agglut inogen B and the serum contains agglut inin A. The serum of this group agglut inates th e blood cells of groups A and AB. The red blood cells of this group are agglutinated by the serum of groups 0 and A. Group AB -- Th e r ed bl oo d c e l l s c on t a in a ggl u t in oge n s A a nd B b ut the serum contains no agglutinin. The serum of this group has no agglutinating effect on the red blood cells of any group. The red blood cells of this group are agglutinated by the serum of groups O, A and B. 775 The agglutinogens and the agglutinins present in the blood of human being persist throughout life without changing the group and this basic fact constitutes the value of this test, about 42 per cent of human being belonging to group O, about 41 per cent to Group A, about 12 per cent of group B and about 5 per cent to group AB. The determination of blood groups of an unknown specimen of blood or blood-stain is made by testing it against sera of blood of known groups stocked in the laboratory. To medico-legal significance of the blood group test in stain cases ---- Since about 83 per cent of human beings belong to groups O and A, the value of the test frequently lies in suggesting the innocence rather than the guilt of an accused. The blood group test is valuable for the purpose of exclusion and is not of definite affirmative value. If the group of a blood-stain is not the same as that of the blood of an individual it can be stated with certainty that the stain was not produced from that individual ‘s blood. For example, if the blood-stains on a suspected person‘s clothing belongs to the same group as the blood of the victim but to a different group from that of the suspect, the suspect cannot claim that the stains on the clothing have been caused by his own blood. If the groups of a blood-stain is the same as that of the blood of an individual, the utmost that could be stated is that the blood-stain could have been derived from that individual. The grouping reaction narrows down the individuals from whom a given sample of blood may have been derived. The similarity of blood group between a blood-stain and the blood of an individual should not be taken to mean that the blood-stain is derived from that particular individual but that it could have been derived from the individual as well as from any other person of that group. Requirements for the blood group test — In addition to the bloodstained articles in stain cases, specimens of blood from the victim and from the accused are necessary. The following conditions are required for a satisfactory determination of the blood group;— (1) Stain on clothing (a) A cloth free from stain should always be available, as control. (b) There should be available about one grain of well stained material stiff with blood or about half a grain of dried blood. Exhibits not yielding these quantities need not be sent for blood group test. (2) Blood from living persons (victim or accused) ---- The following specimens should be sent with the help of a Medical Officer: 776 (a) About 0.25 cubic centimeter of blood dried on a 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. (b) About 0.25 cubic centimeter of clear serum. This is taken from a test tube in which blood (about 3 cubic centimeters) has been allowed to clot under sterile conditions without disturbing the content much. (c) About 0.5 cubic centimeters of serums turbid with red blood cells. This is taken after shaking the contents of the tube, the clear seal in having been removed. If for any reason the whole of the above procedure is not practic able, a thick drop of blood taken on a chemically pure filter paper as in (a) and dried in the shade would be sufficient, an unstained piece of the filter paper also being sent as Control. (3) Blood from dead bodies -- It should be a general rule that at the t ime of post -mor tem examination of all bodies, in cases of violent crime, the Medical Officers should preserve specimens of blood from the bodies for the determinat ion of the blood group, if later found necessary. The procedure described above under (2) should be followed. In all cases where the blood group test is required, the articles should be sent through a Government Medical Officer who will satisfy himself that the above conditions are satisfied. This test should be asked for only in special cases and not as a matter of routine. N.B.—: It should be noted that the taking of the blood f rom a living person can be made only with the consent of the person c o n c e rn ed . I f ma d e wi t ho ut h i s o r h e r c on s ent i t i s t e ch ni c a l l y an assault. It is beyond the powers of a Police Officer, Coroner, Lawyer, Magistrate, Judge or Bench of Judges to issue such an order. Consent must not be obtained by fraud or any undue normal pressure or duress. It must be given freely after full explanation of the reasons for which the examination is required and of the consequences that may result. Silence or complacence should not be taken as consent. In all cases of doubt, consent should be taken in writing, in the presence of disinterested witnesses. If the person does not consent then the examination must not be made. ( 8 ) S u s p e c t e d s emi n a l s t a i n s — Clothes requi r ing examinat ion or seminal s tain should be sent as wh ol e , c a r e b e in g t a k en t o co v e r th e s us p e c t ed stains with cotton wool to prevent the stains from being damaged during transit. For information regarding packing and despatch of letter of advice, see instruction (7) above.

If the device has taken fire, the remains without removing the ash or soot will have to be sent to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai. 779 (e) Incendiary device coupled with an explosive device -- These devices have a fairly elaborate mechanical arrangement and may look like bombs. The Inspector of Explosives, South Circle, Chennai, will have to be informed by telegram and his arrival awaited. If any piece of yellow phosphorous is found, it should be removed immediately. If the arrangement has already fired or exploded, the remains together with the ash or soot, will have to be sent to the Inspector of Explosives South Circle, Chennai, for his opinion, along with the report of the circumstances. In forwarding articles suspected to be of an explosive nature, special precautions should be taken to avoid the risk of their exploding in transit while being unpacked. The usual type of bomb used in Chennai is quite safe to handle, if thoroughly wetted, but very dangerous if dry. Anything of the nature of a live bomb should therefore be thoroughly wetted with water, packed in such a way that it will not dry in transit and be sent through a messenger and not by railway or post, to the Inspector of Explosives, South Circle, Chennai. (10) Fire arms -- The ex aminat ion of ma rkings on bul l et s and c a r t r idge ca s es wi th a vi ew to e s t abl i sh the ident i t y of the we apon from which they were fired, is sometimes necessary and the opinion of an expert is a vital factor in such cases. The Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai is in a position to give such expert opinion. (G. O. No. 3257, Home, 14th June, 1939). (11) Miscellaneous examinations -- In forwarding coins to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai, Magistrates and Police Officers s h o u l d f o l l ow t h e d i r e c t i o n s l a i d d own i n c l a u s e ( i i ) o f Instruction (7) of this Part and in Part II instruction (1) so far as the case may be applicable and should be careful to include in their letter of advice to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai information as to the nature and object of the examination required, and to furnish any other information likely to assist the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai in making the required examination. (12) Return of Articles -- When ar t i cl es are wanted back af t er examinat ion, a note to thi s ef fect should be included in the l et ter of advi ce and unless they are ent i rely used up in the examinat ion, they wi l l be returned. In the absence of 780 such a note, the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department will assume that the return of the articles is not required and they will be destroyed.

TEN MCQ ON INSTRUCTIONS TO MEDICAL OFFICER : LEVEL OF DOCTORS AND PROFESSIONALS: TEXT GIVEN: Instructions for the guidance of Medical Officers (1) Medical Officers in charge of hospitals and dispensaries are required to maintain a supply of methylated spirit supplies by the Government Medical Stores and suitable bottles, etc, in readiness for the transmission of viscera and other matters to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai when occasion may arise. In cases of suspected poisoning, it is exceedingly important that viscera and other suspected matters liable to rapid decomposition should be placed in spirit as soon as practicable, and every care should be taken lest doubt may be raised in court as to the identification of the articles likely to require examination or as to possibility of their having been accidentally contaminated or improperly interfered with. HUMAN CASES. (2) On making a post mortem examination, whenever there is any suspicion of poisoning, the stomach should be tied at both ends (a double ligature being applied at the pyloric extremity, so that the contents of the intestines may not escape) and removed from the body in such a manner that its contents may be retained; after removal, it should be opened and the contents received into a perfectly clean bottle and the mucous surface of the stomach carefully examined, its appearance noted, and any suspicious particles found adhering thereto, should be picked off with a pair of forceps and placed in a separate small phial for transmission. And the mucous membrane of the mouth, pharynx and oesophagus should be examined and any unusual appearance or marks of corrosion thereon carefully noted. (3) The nature of Viscera or Clinical material to be sent for analysis and their preservation is dependent on the history of the case. In all cases of death from presumed poisoning, the following articles should be forwarded for analys is , each i n a s e p a r a t e b o t t l e , u n l e s s o t h e rwi s e i n d i c a t e d . Ot h e r wise, viscera or tissue should not be forwarded unless, in the opinion of the Medical Officer, the special circumstances of the case, which should be clearly stated in the letter of advice, tender such a proceeding advisable: (a) Stomach. (b) Contents of the stomach, which may, if it be convenient, be put in the same bottle with the stomach. 781 (c) Suspicious particles (if any have been found) removed from the mucous membrane of the stomach. (d) A portion of the liver, not less than 500 grams in weight, or the whole liver, if it weighs less than 500 grams and one kidney. (e) The vomited matter, if any. The earlier and the later vomits should when practicable, be sent up in different bottles, and the labels should state at what period the matters were vomited. Special directions are given in instruction (5) for the disposal of vomited matters mixed with earth, etc. (f) A specimen of the spirit used. Four ounces are sufficient. (g) The contents of the small intestines. (h) Any urine which may have been separately collected after the commencement of symptoms, or found in the bladder after death. (i) Human cases -- In cases of poisoning by gases like carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, etc. , the lungs and blood should be sent in addi t ion to the above. In cases of poisoning by the barbiturate group of drugs, the brain also should be sent. The ordinary preservat ive that should be used for preserving viscera, etc., is rectified spirit (90 per cent alcohol) supplied by the Medical Stores Department. But in cases of suspected poisoning by votile poisons like alcohol, kerosene, etc., the preservative should be saturated sodium chloride and not rectified or other spirit. Formal deyhde is not a preservative for medico- legal purposes and should not be used. A concentration of one percent weight volume of Sodium fluoric for blood and Phenyl mercuric nitrate for preserving urine samples suspected of containing alcohol. In cases involving drug & analysis the use of .01 per cent sodium acid is recommended. (4) Strong methylated spirit supplied by the Government Medi cal Stores should in all cases be added as laid down in the rules for the transmission of articles for analysis detailed in instruction (10) to the contents of bottles (a), (d), (g), (h) and also the contents of bottles (b) and (e) unless it is suspected that alcoholic poisoning has been the cause of death. No spirit need be added to the contents of bottle (c). Contents of bottle (i) should be overlaid with a layer of liquid paraffin. Care should be taken that no vessel containing fluid matters is quite filled, and that bottles containing viscera with methylated spirit should not be more than three quarters filled so that the viscera may be well shaken with the spirit on the journey. No methyated spirit other than that supplied by the Government Medical Stores should be used, and methylated spirit must never be obtained for this purpose from the bazaar. 782 (5) Vomited and purged matters are frequently received by Medical officer mixed with the earth, etc. If the admixture of earth is sufficient to render the evacuated matters dry and inoffensive, they may be packed wi thout spiri t in a convenient manner, otherwise they must be packed with spirit. Vomited and purged matters if they have, most frequently happens, been allowed to fall on the ground, should be carefully scraped not taking more earth than is necessary. The superficial scraping should be packed separately. It is rarely necessary to remove the dearth of a depth greater than half inch, even in cases of suspected metallic poisonings, unless the soil be of a much loosened character. Except when a metallic poison is suspected, it is very rarely necessary to forward purged matters. (6) If articles of food, medicine, etc. suspected to have been the vehicle by which poison has been administered, require examination, they should each be packed up separately and spirit invariably added, as in the case of viscera, as such articles are liable to decomposition. Fruits such as the plantain and custard apple, if suspected to contain poison, should be carefully inspected, and if it should appear that some foreign substance has been inserted, this should be picked out and sent up for examination. If no suspicious substance can be discovered, the fruit should be forwarded. (7) After having made a post mortem examination in a case of suspected poisoning, and having preserved in spirit all articles liable to rapid decomposition which are likely to require examination, the Medical Officer should report the result of his examination to the Police and on receipt of an order from the Police or the Magistrate, should forward the viscera of the deceased and such other articles as may require analysis to the Tamil Nadu Forensic science Department, Chennai for examination. In cases where no death has occurred, but where it is suspected that poison has been administered, the Medical Officer, having preserved in spirit all articles liable to rapid decomposition, which are likely to require examination, should similarly report the case to the Police and on receipt of an order from the Police or the Magistrate should forward the vomited matters or contents of the stomach, of the affected individual, or other matters requiring analysis by the Tamil Nadu Forensic science Department, Chennai. Though Magistrates, Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents and Deputy Superintendents of Police required to grant an order for analysis, should the Medical Officer consider such an analysis necessary they can, if they consider it advisable, order viscera, etc., to be sent to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai even when, in the opinion of the Medical Officer, such a proceeding may be quite unnecessary. 783 Medical Officers are authorized to forward suspected articles liable to rapid decomposition to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai, in anticipation of the orders of Magistrate or Police Officer. In such cases the Medical Officer should at once communicate the fact of despatch to the Magistrate, Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent or Deputy Superintendent of Police and that Officer should thereupon send by the next post the required order along with the information prescribed in instructions (3) and (4) Part I. (8) When on receipt of the necessary order, a Medical Officer forwards article to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai for examination, he should address at the same time, a letter to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai advising him of their despatch. This letter should contain - (a) an impression of the seal used in closing the bottles and a description thereof. (b) list of the articles forwarded and a statement as to how the articles have been forwarded. (c) the name of the officer from which the order has been received to forward the article and the number and date of such order. (d) a detailed account of the post-mortem appearances observed in Medical Form I 42; and (e) An account of the symptoms observed by himself or others and a statement of the treatment, if any, adopted. (9) All bottles and packets should be carefully sealed by the Medical Officer and closed in such a manner that they cannot be opened without destroying the seals. The seal used should be the same throughout, either private seal or an official seal, which is always in safe keeping and impressions of keys, weights, etc., must never be used. Each bottle or packet should be labelled and each label should bear the number and date of the letter of advice to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department , Chennai relating to the case, as well as short description of the contents, and should be signed by the Medical Officer. (9A) Special suggestion to Medical Officers -- (i) Always try to obtain some information about the case. "Poisons are many and the material available for examination is limited." Some idea of the symptom and relevant history is, therefore, of enormous value to the analyst. (ii) Do not forget to mention if any treatment has been adopted. Washing the stomach with potassium permanganate, for instance, destroys the distinctive tests for opium, and hence negative reports may be received in well-defined cases of opium poisoning. Vomit is always more valuable for analysis than any stomach wash. 784 ( i i i ) Don' t neglect to preserve the ur ine both ante and pos t mortem. Many alkaloids are recoverable from urine which may easily be destroyed in a viscera extraction. In barbiturate poisoning about 75 per cent of the drug is excreted in the urine and this is before death. (iv) It is suggested that, when taking a four ounce sample of the preservation, it is advisable to rinse the inside of the glass vessels to be used for the viscera with this fluid and then bottle and seal the sample. (v) Don't forget that symptoms of acute poisoning may arise from food contamination (bacterial poisons) and if this is suspected the Medical Officer of Health should be informed. (vi) Often, pieces of plant tissue are sent in for identification, this is generally impossible unless the leaves or flowering tops are received. (vii) During post-mortem and preservation of viscera, special care should be taken to read possibility of contamination of dishes, gloves, etc., which might be carried over to the next case. (viii) Use molten paraffin to seal the stoppers of the glass vessels and prevent leaks. Sealing wax or plaster of Paris is not advisable. (ix) Don't forget the reference number on the outside of the exhibit box; remember we deal with hundreds of parcels. (x) In some cases, especially food poisoning, cholera, etc, bacteriological examinations may be required, whereas in some other cases, tissues may have to be subjected to histological examinations. (10) Rules for the transmission of substances for analysis - Suspected substance may be forwarded by post, by passenger train, or in charge of a constable. The latter method is recommended in all cases. Officers forwarding viscera, etc., by post, by rail, or streamer or by constable to the Tami l Nadu Forensic Science Department will be held personally responsible that the following instructions are carefully followed :— A. Transmission by post: When viscera, etc., are forwarded through the post, the following rules are to be observed: - (1) The suspected viscera or other material to be sent for examination should be enclosed in a glass bottle or jar fitted with a stopper or sound cork. 785 (2) If the material sent is liable to decomposition, it should in variably be preserved by one of the following methods:— (i) In cases of suspected poisoning, other than alcohol ic poisoning, by other volatile poisons, such as kerosene, oil, turpentine, eucalyptus oil, chloroform, etc., the materials sent should be immersed in rectified spirit or methylated spirit supplied by the Government Medical Store Dept. The spirit should be sufficient in quantity to cover the material immersed in whatever position the vessel containing it may be held and should not bear a less proportion to the bulk of such material than one-third. Care should be taken that common bazaar spirit is not used. The amount of spirit added to each vessel should be measured and the amounts so added written on the label affixed to the vessel. (ii) In cases of suspected alcoholic poisoning (including methyl alcohol) the viscera should be placed in a bottle with a sufficient quantity of clean table salt to saturate the solution, leaving a little salt undissolved to ensure saturation. A sample of the water and of the table salt used should also be invariably forwarded for examination. (iii) While forwarding blood samples for examination of alcohol content, a minimum of 10 ml. of blood preserved in 100 m.gms. of sodium fluoride should be sent. (3) Great care should be taken that the stopper or cork of the bottle fits tightly. This precaution is especially necessary when alcohol is used as a preservative, in such cases a ring of molten wax should be poured round the lip of the bottle so as to cover the shoulder of the stopper. The stopper should be carefully tied down with polythene paper and carefully sealed. (4) The glass bottle or jar should then be placed in a strong wooden or tin box, which should be large enough to allow of a layer of raw cotton, at least threefourth of an inch thick, being put between the vessel and the box. (5) The box itself should be encased in common gada cloth, which should be securely closed and sealed. The seals should be at interval not exceeding three inches along each line or sewing. All the seals must be of the same kind of wax, and must bear distinct impressions of the same device. The device should ordinarily be the office seal of the officer despatching the parcel. The device must in no case be that of a current coin or merely a series of straight curved or cross lines, or impressions of keys or weights. (6) Despatching Officers will be held personally responsible that these instructions are carefully followed. Whenever practicable, such parcels should be packed under the immediate supervision of the Civil Surgeon. 786 (7) At all stations where there is a Civil Surgeon, the parcels should invariably be sent to the post office by that officer and not by a subordinate officer; but where there is no Civil Surgeon, that may be packed and forwarded direct to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department , Chennai by the subordinate officer in charge of the hospital or dispensary. (8) A declaration of the contents to the officials of the Postal Department is unnecessary and should not be made. B. Transmission by rail – When viscera, etc., are forwarded by rail, it is unnecessary to encase the box in cloth, but with this exception the rules for forwarding articles through the post must be observed in forwarding articles by rail. C. Transmission by Constable – When viscera, etc., are forwarded in charge of a constable, it will not be necessary to pack the bottles, etc., in a strong box in order to protect them from rough handling during transit. But it is desi rable that glass bottles containing viscera, etc., should be wrapped in cloth or paper so that co-passengers do not complain of bad odour. In every other respect, the same rule should be observed as in the transmission of viscera, etc., by rail. (11) Tissues surrounding gun-shot injuries—Instructions for despatch of - Tissues, in cases of death from shooting, require to be examined for the presence of traces of lead, should be sent in lead free containers. Country-made earthen-ware jars have been frequently found to contain lead in their inner wall and should not be used as containers for packing such tissues. A specimen of unaffected tissues from the same body should also be sent in such cases whenever possible. (Surgeon Generals P. No. 79-M 27, April 1938 & P No. 32-M, dated 20th February 1930.) (12) Difference of opinion between the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai and the post-mortem findings of Medical Officers – In al l cases where the opinion of Medical officers based on post-mortem findings differs from that of the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai, the Medical Officers concerned should get into touch with the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Department, Chennai and ascertain reasons for arriving at different findings. (Surgeon Generals P. No. 51-M, 16th February 1939.) 787 594. Post-mortem on animals — (1) Where a veterinary dispensary exists, the body of an y animal whi ch has di ed under suspi cious ci rcums t ances in respect of which an offence is reasonably believed to have been committed, as well as any living animal regarding which a cognizable offence resul t ing in serious injury to such anima l is reasonably believed to have been committed, should be sent to such dispensary for Post-mortem or other examination and not to any other institution, and no fees will be charged by Veterinary Assistants in charge of veterinary dispensaries maintained by Government or by a municipality or by Veterinary Assistants belonging to the Veterinary Department and holding charge of a private dispensaries for a postmortem or other examination performed under lawful requisition from a Police Officer. In places where there are no veterinary dispensaries, such examinations will be conducted without fees by veterinary Assistants or Inspectors of the Veterinary Department. (2) District Collectors have been empowered to sanction a fee not exceeding Rs. 10 each case for post-mortem or other examinations conducted by Veterinary Assistants attached to private Veterinary Institutions where such Assistants are not Government servants borne on the cadre of the Tamil Nadu Veterinary Department.

TEN MCQ ON PUBLIC SERVANT DOCUMENTS: TEXT GIVEN: Public Servants -- Evidence before Courts -- Procedure to be followed when summoned to produce official documents. (2) (a) The Central Government have issued the following revised instructions regarding the procedure to be adopted when a Government servant is summoned by a Court to produce official documents for the purpose of giving evidence: - (b) The law relating to the production of unpublished official records as evidence in Courts is contained in sections 123, 124 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 evidences to enable it to determine on its admissibility. (1) 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. 798 (G.O. Ms. No. 2670, Home dated, 6th September 1954.) (2) For the purpose of section 123 above, the expression ―officer at the head of the department concerned‖ may be held to mean, the officer who is in control of the department, in whose charge records of the department remain, ordinarily. Such an officer would be the Secretary to the State Government in the case of State Governments and the Secretary, Additional Secretary or Joint Secretary in-charge of the Ministry in the case of Government of India. But in case of attached officers like Directorates, the Director-General may be regarded as the head of the department for the purposes of this section. Only such officer should be treated as the authority to withhold or give the necessary permission for the production of official documents in evidence. In case of Part C States, the Chief Commissioner or the Lieutenant Governor as the case may be, regarded as the head of the Department and not his Secretaries. (3) In respect of documents (a) emanating from a higher authority, i.e. the Government of India, or the State Government or which have formed the subject of correspondence with such higher authority, or (b) emanating from other Government whether foreign or members of the Commonwealth, the heads of departments should obtain the consent of the Government of India or of the State Government, as the case may be, through the usual official channels before giving permission to produce the documents in Court, or giving evidence based on them unless the papers are intended for publication or are of a purely formal or routine nature, when a reference to higher authority may be dispensed with. (4) In the case of documents other than those specified in paragraph 3 above, production of documents should be withheld only when the public interest would by their disclosure be injured as where disclosure would be injurious to national defence, or to good diplomatic relations or, where the practice of keeping a class of documents secret is necessary for the proper .functioning of the public service. Some High Courts have pointed. out the circumstances under which no such privilege should be claimed, e.g. privilege is not to be claimed on the mere ground that the documents are State documents or are official or are marked confidential or if produced, would result in parliamentary discussion or Public criticism or would expose want of efficiency in the administration or tend to lay a particular department of Government open to a claim for compensation. The mere fact that, the head of the department does not wish the documents to be produced is not an adequate justification for objection to their production. The High Courts have also observed that refusal to produce document relating to affairs of State implies that their production will be prejudicial to public interest. Consequently the reasons therefor should be given in an affidavit in Form No. 1 at the appropriate place. 799 (5) In a case of doubt the head of the department should invariably refer to higher authority for orders. (6) These instructions apply equally 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 a 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 124 has been withheld, be given an affidavit in Form No. I 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 Government servant who is summoned to produce official documents in respect of which privilege under sector 124 has to be claimed, will make an affidavit in the accompanying Form No.II. When he is not attending the court himself to give evidence, he shall have it sent to the court along with the documents. The person through whom the documents are sent to the courts should submit the affidavit to the court when called upon to produce the documents. He should take with him the documents which he has been called upon to produce but should not hand them over to the court unless the court directs him to do so. They should not be shown to the opposite party. (9) 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 ar range 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 affidavit, if he claims privilege.

This book should be put up to the perusal of the Superintendent of Police in district and to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) in Chennai City once a month". (G.O. Ms. No. 505, Home dated 10th March 1983.) (3) In addition to giving advice and suggestions to Investigating Officers, it should also supply classified information to superior officers for the purpose of directing investigation and controlling crime. (4) In order that the Bureau may serve its purpose fully and well, it is important that officers who obtain information which may be useful to others must promptly communicate it to the Bureau. 803 (5) The District Crime Record Bureau should send information asked for in the prescribed form to the State Crime Record Bureau headquartered at Chennai. In the case of computerised information, the floppies containing the information should be sent to the State Crime Record Bureau.

(b) Records relating to computerization of crimes and criminals and manpower utilization performance are also maintained in the Crime Records Bureau of the district concerned including the Railway Police. (c) Register of Crime Reports Received A register will be maintained in the Bureau to note the receipt and disposal of crime reports received from the Police Stations. Separate sheets will be allotted to each Police Station in the district, one for each district within the State and one for each outside the State. (d) Register of Undetected Cases It helps in grouping and tracing of cases and in finding out trends and concentration of particular forms of offences in various parts of the district. Where the modus operandi is similar, the person or property attacked is similar, the sphere of operation is the same and the 804 criminal arrested was out of the jail at the relevant time, he could with advantage be interrogated on the information furnished from this register. An undetected case on being detected should be scored out in red ink. Separate set of sheets should be earmarked for each of the following major classes of crime: --- (i) Dacoity, robbery and poisoning. (ii) House breaking and theft. (iii) House theft. (iv) Ordinary theft. (v) Cattle theft. (vi) Receiving or possession of stolen property. (vii) Cheating (viii) Counterfeiting. (ix) Criminal breach of trust or misappropriation. (e) Register Showing the Probable Dates of Release of All History-sheeted Persons including Dossier Criminals -- The Bureau will maintain a register showing the probable dates of release from jail of all history-sheeted persons including dossier criminals. This register must be prepared with the help of the jail release lists furnished by the jail authorities and checked with the reports submitted by the Station House Officers. Such particulars as the modus operandi details and sphere of operation which will not be found in the jail release lists can be obtained from the monthly reports submitted by the Station House Officers. A page or more in the register should be set apart for each month.

The book should be maintained in chronological order of this memoranda and each memorandum issued by the Bureau should be given a separate number. The Bureau should see that the reply to each memorandum is promptly received and filed along with the office copy of the memorandum. (b) As soon as the Bureau receives information regarding the occurrence of a property crime, it should study the indices maintained by it with a view to seeing whether any criminal of the same modus operandi has operated in the area previously or has any relations or associates in the station limits or the neighbouring station limits and whether dossier criminal or history-sheeted criminal who is out of view from that station or at neighbouring station or any criminal who has returned from jail recently is likely to have committed the offence. This information can be picked up by the Bureau very easily from the records in the District Crime Record Bureau. It should, however, be noted that the modus operandi is not the sole criterion for the determination of the probable complicity of a criminal, because many active criminals adopt more than one modus operandi. (c) The Bureau should make a careful study of crime on receipt of crime reports and other reports, weekly station reports, crime and occurrence sheets of border districts and information regarding the probable dates of release of history-sheeted persons and issue warnings direct to the Station House Officers and Circle Inspectors, with copies to Sub- Divisional Police Officers, on the indication or possibility of an outbreak of crime and about the release of any dangerous criminals. (d) Cordial and mutual co-operation between the Bureau and the local Police Officers is of primary importance if the Bureau is to fulfil its purpose as a central organisation and a fountain of information for controlling the crime and the criminals of the district. 609.
