***

In Continuation of the decission arrived at the Conference cited, the Government have approved the Manual of Office Procedure for the DPOs and other Unit Offices. A copy of the Government Order No. GAD. 41 OOM 1964 dated 26/27-07-1965 approving the Manual with certain amendments is enclosed for reference.

2. The Government of Mysore have issued a Common Manual of Office Procedure applicable for all the Departments in the Mysore State and stressed that this Manual should be followed in all offices, subject to suitable variations depending on the special situation of a particular Department.

3. The Police Department being a specialised Department and distinctive in its day-to-day administration requires an Office Procedure well suited to its needs to conduct its business smoothly, effectively and efficiently. Accordingly a detailed system of Office Procedure for the District Police Officers and other Unit Offices has been drafted within the ambit of the principles laid down by the Government of Mysore in their Manual of Office Procedure.

4. The Manual of Office Procedure now issued is compiled mainly with particular reference to the conditions prevailing in and the requirements of the District Police Offices. The other Unit Offices should adopt the Procedure and follow it with such suitable adjustments as may be necessary in view of their staff position.

5. The Superintendents of Police of Districts should after carefully studying the Procedure, re-organise the whole set up of their offices as detailed in the Manual and draw up detailed allocation of duties among the staff of the Office. It may be mentioned here, that in some of the Districts it may be difficult to re-organise the offices as detailed in the Procedure for want of sufficient staff. Quite recently the Government have sanctioned an increase of certain number of Ministerial Posts of the District Police Offices temporarily for a period of one year. These temporary posts have been distributed to the under-staffed Districts, in Chief Office memo No. 155/RA-1/58, dated 05-11-1963. It is, therefore, felt that there may be some difficulties the Superintendents of Police should allocate the existing staff to suit the convenience of the office and ensure that the new procedure is effectively implemented.

6. The forms proposed in the Manual are, those prescribed by the Government in their office procedure. Hence, the required number of registers forms etc., may be obtained from the Government press on indent directly.

7. It should be noted that the reference in para 26 of the Manual is only to the office system and as such all Registers etc., Pertaining to the Accounts, Stores, etc., will continue to be maintained as at present.

8. A few stenciled copies of the Manual as amended by Government are sent herewith for your reference. This may be acknowledged. Further copies required will be printed and supplied after obtaining the sanction of Government.

|Reference: |Chief Office S.O. No. 587, Communicated in |

| |Chief Office No. 2/MPM/1963, dated 11-01-1963. |

***

In Chief Office Standing Order No. 587 a common Drill Manual in two parts viz. Part I and II was issued with instructions to follow the procedure laid down therein in conducting drill and parade.

It has been found that the procedure now adopted in holding the ceremonial parade is not only unsatisfactory but also differs from district to district. While Chapter XXI of the common Drill Manual describes the movements for each words of command, if does not lay down what items should constitute a Police Ceremonial Parade. It has, therefore, become necessary to issue a set of instructions to be followed in every district in holding ceremonial parade.

A set of instructions is accordingly drafted and enclosed to this Standing Order. The procedure now suggested is mostly according to the existing practice involving simple movements, easy to practice and execute efficiently and smartly. All the Superintendents of Police of districts and the Unit Officers will please see that the procedure and words of command for ceremonial parade detailed in the enclosed instructions are studied well and practiced thoroughly by the officers and men of the district/units.

|The Mysore Police Benevolent Fund-Growing of vegetables, fruits etc., in the vacant plots of land in Police|

|Compounds |

***

Encouraged by the success of the cultivation of vacant plots of land in the Police Lines in Dharwar, Raichur and at Audugodi in Bangalore and having regard to the need for our active participation in the ‘Vanamahotasava’ and grow more food schemes which are of National importance, leading to eventual augmentation of income for the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund, a proposal was sent to the Government for sanction to utilize all the available vacant lands in the compound of the Police Lines and other Police buildings for growing food grains, vegetables and fruits, etc., and to credit the proceeds of the produce to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund of the District/Unit Committee concerned. The Government has accorded sanction to our proposals in their Order No. HD 240 PEG 67 dated 31-07-1968 a copy of which is annexed here to.

For the effective and profitable implementation of the scheme, the following instructions are issued.

1) Intensive and extensive efforts should be made to utilize all the vacant space in the compounds of the Police Lines and in the compounds of other Police building for growing food grains, vegetables, fruits etc., instead of allowing them to lie fallow.

2) While small sized fruit trees like fig tree, papaya, pomegranate can be grown anywhere, fruit trees which grow in to big size such as tamarind, mango, sapota, jack fruit etc., should not be planted too close to the walls of the existing buildings as they are likely to damage the foundation of the buildings. Such trees should not be planted in the middle of the vacant plots of land either as they would come in the way of future constructions in the area. As far as possible, such trees should be grown all along the boundary of the compound wall and on both sides of the roads and cross roads in the premises of the Police Lines and the non-residential Police buildings.

3) Whenever fruit trees and other trees such as cocoanut, are grown, care should be taken to place only such trees, which flourish on the soil and the climatic conditions of the area in consultation with the Horticultural Department.

4) A detailed plan should be, worked out in consultation with the Executive Engineer and the officers of the Horticultural Department with a view not only to selecting the species of plant to be grown in the area but also to selecting the places where each species of plants should be planted so that when the plants come of age the entire area becomes a miniature park and presents aesthetic beauty to the area and there would be no necessity for clearance of trees at a later date.

5) Similarly, such trees should be grown all along the perimeter of the parade grounds and the play grounds of the Police Department.

6) Where there are large tracts of land in the possession of the Department which are earmark for purposes like construction of residential quarters and there is likely to be delay in the execution of the project, the land should be brought under cultivation for growing crops suited to the soil and climatic conditions of consulting the Executive Engineer and the officers of the Agricultural Department. If there is adequate supply of water, vegetables and fruits could be grown with advantage. Otherwise, dry crops like Hybride Maize, Ragi, puls and such other crops could be raised.

7) Initial expenditure on seeds, seedings saplings manure etc. may be met from the resources of Benevolent Fund. Utmost economy should be exercised in this behalf. Regular accounts should be maintained as to the number of trees of different species planted food grains and vegetables grown and the expenditure incurred then.

8) Manual labour required for cultivation including the growing and regular maintenance of trees should be provided as far as possible from the police personnel on off-duty who should be allotted a few plants/trees each far regular watering etc.,

9) The produce should, as far as possible, be so as the personnel at concessional rates and the proceeds credited to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund. Where it is not possible to do so, he produce may be leased out to the higher tenderer/bidder and the lease amount credited to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund. The Progress of the scheme should be incorporated in the annual statement of receipts and expenditure under the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund.

10) There is no doubt that if sustained efforts are put into successfully implement this scheme. It will turn out to be a good reservoir of resources to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund

11) These instructions do not apply to the kitchen gardens which every occupant of police quarters should be encouraged to maintain and reap the benefit of produce to himself and the members of his family.

12) The inspecting Officers should. During the course of their inspection tour, study the implementation of the scheme and give suggestions for their improvement.

13) Please acknowledge receipt..

Attention is drawn to SO. No. 611 issued in this office memo No. FDS-2C-97/66, dated 12-09-1968. It was directed inter-alia that the produce should, as far possible. Be sold to the personnel at concessional rates and the proceeds credited to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund and that where it is not possible to do so, the produce should be leased out to the highest tenderer/bidder and the lease amount credited to the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund. It was also directed that the progress of the scheme should be incorporated in the Annual Statement of receipts and expenditure under the Mysore State Police Benevolent Fund.

The Annual statements of Income and expenditure relating to the Benevolent Fund so far received from the Superintendents of Police for the year 1968 do not indicate the number of trees of different kinds planted in the police lines and police compounds the details of food grains and vegetables grown and the income derived from the produce. In short, there is no indication to show whether and to what extent, the scheme has been implemented during the year. These details should be incorporated in the Annual statements for the period from 1968 and onwards. If the statement has already been sent. A brief report on the progress of the scheme should be sent by way of supplement to the statement.

Now that the rainy season is approaching, immediate action should be taken to plan the planting of suitable types of trees during the ensuing VANAMAHOTSAVA, dig up sufficient number of pits and fill them with manure etc. Where it is desired to bring vacant lands under cultivation, necessary steps should be planned from now on.

Details showing the number of trees of different species planted from time to time should be entered in a register kept for the purpose.

|Prevention of braches of Radio Communication security instructions regarding |

***

Radio Communication Security is concerned with the prevention against enemy interception of our Radio Communications for collection of intelligence. Every communications has three users viz., the Sender, Receiver Interceptor. It is the responsibility of both the Sender and Receiver to ensure that the Interceptor gets the least possible Information from the circuit which is detrimental to National Security. Therefore, while originating messages for transmission over the Police Wireless Grids, it is necessary to consider.

a) the necessity for originating carefully worded messages which do not give vital information to the enemy and,

b) the need for strict screening of Radio messages from security point of view.

In view of the great harm that Breach of Radio Security can cause, every User should rate the Security valve of the contents of Radio Messages and award appropriate security classification viz. TOP SECRET, SECRET AND CONFIDENTIAL. Although it is not possible to prepare a comprehensive list of the types of information which cannot be sent enclair by Wireless, the types of information detailed in the Annexure should not be transmitted in plain language over wireless.

The Superintendents of Police, as Screening Officers, should ensure that messages containing any information which would be useful to the subversive elements are rejected.

STANDING ORDER NO. 615

No. CRM/5/Misc/1972, Dated: 22-03-1972

|M.O.B at Police Station, DCRB and State CID levels |

|Reference: |Chapter XXI, XXII, and XLIV, MPM, Vol-II |

***

I. Object:-

I need hardly emphasise that one of the principal functions of the police is the prevention and detection of crime. Prevention must necessarily take precedence over detection. For that purpose upto-date classified record of really active criminals is a condition precedent for successful prevention of crime. The MOB system is recommended as upto-date and readily available reference of who is who of all really active criminal-whether local or non-local and whether convicted, acquitted or suspected-as long as they are considered active by the local police Officers, under the guidance of their Supervisory Officers.

II. Existing method of maintaining record of criminal and exercising vigilance on them.

Order No. 1030, MPM, Vol. II prescribes the following Crime Histories to be maintained at Police Station for continuous history of the criminals and crimes by locality in order to facilitate the study of crimes and to deal with them effectively.

Part-I-VII includes Station, Crime, and History

Part-I-Village statistics

Part-II Village crime Register of cognizable offences.

Part-III-Persons of village concerned in crime whether convicted or suspected.

Part-III(a)-Outside criminals and suspects visiting the village.

Part-IV-Important notes on factions, disputes and communalism.

Part-V-General Conviction Register:

Part-Vi-History Sheets.

Part-VII- Station Crime Chart.

Order No. 1059 defines a rowdy for whom Rowdy Sheets should be opened.

Order Nos. 1062 and 1063 prescribe the classification of criminals according to their modus operandi and the method of maintaining vigilance on them.

III. Check Register of know depredators:

According to Order No. 1078. Check Register of all KDs. Notorious rowdies, habitual offenders and suspects has to be maintained in each Police Station and Out Post.

Iv. Agency for exercising vigilance on the active criminals:

Normally the Beat Police is the agency for exercising constant vigilance on the active criminals, supplemented by the Crime staff of Police Stations in certain urban areas.

V. Inadequacy of existing records of active criminals.

The Police Station records of General Conviction Register, know Criminals Register, Surveillance Register, Absconders Register, History Sheets, SCH Part-III regarding convicted criminals and Check Register of know Depredators and Suspect, normally include convicted criminals. But these records generally suffer from omission of acquitted accused. Suspects, receivers and associates. Further from the voluminous and complex nature of the records, the local Police Officers do not have up-to-date and ready reference to the active criminals of particular M.O. for search and interrogation for the purpose of checking complicity in the reported property crime. The MOB system with Main Index Cards of all the really active criminals maintained in labeled pigeon holes overcomes these handicaps and serves as the modern scientific aid to the detection of property crime.

The KDCR in practice served as a mini MOB. But with the inclusion of inactive criminals and exclusion of active criminals, it does not serve the purpose of being the Muster Roll of active criminals, as originally intended.

The above records should be continued and maintained up to date because they are prescribed as the permanent records.

vi. Continued legacy of MOB.

At present with transfers of local Police officers from time to time, valuable information about the active criminals gained by them is lost to the Police Officers succeeding them simply because it is not classified and maintained in MOB. The now Police officers have to start a fresh to collect the information.

We maintain voluminous and complex records for far too many criminals, most of them being inactive and quite often active ones being omitted. Vigilance on the few active criminals included in the KDCR becomes a futile exercise by the Beat & Crime Police.

VII. M.O.B. Principle:

The Principle of the Mob System is identification of offenders by certain peculiarities observed in commission of property crime such as means of entry into a house, story told and transport used. This principle is based on the established theory that the criminals habituated to such peculiarities persist in committing crimes normally by a particular M.O The MOB system with Main Index Cards of active criminals maintained in pigeon holed cabinet will serve as the up to date and readily available modern scientific aid in the detection of property crime.

Each Police Station and DCRB should maintain MOB with Main Index Cards of really active criminals whether convicted. Acquitted or suspected or whether local or non-local. The Best Police should know and be able to identify the active criminals whether local or non-local.

The basis for including an active criminal in the MOB should be:-

a) Previous convocations.

b) No ostensible or meager means of subsistence.

c) Associates in crime.

d) Vices.

The MOB should be regarded as the who is who of all the really active property criminals.

Absconders, illicit distillers/bootleggers, professional gamblers, rowdies, hoarders and profitears, adulterators of essential commodities, manufacturers and dealers of spurious drugs, adulterators of toddy with chloral hydrate, smugglers of gold and other contraband goods, illicit dealers in arms and explosives should also be included in MOB. The above apparently non-property criminals are included in the MOB because it is possible for them to become property criminals when pressed too hard by the Police in preventing them from committing the non-property crime.

VIII. Categories of active criminals and others in the MOB of Rural Police Stations:

Main Index Cards with photographs will be maintained in the MOB of the Rural Police Stations for the following categories of criminals (individual cards being maintained wherever applicable under each of the minor classifications):

Class-I Murder for gain, Dacoit, Robbery and Professional Poisoning.

(The cards under each one of the classifications will be kept in separate covers or pads, in the same pigeon hole i.e. pigeon hole No. I)

Class II House breaking and Theft

Class III House theft.

Class IV Ordinary theft

Class V Cattle Theft

Class VI Receiving stolen property

Class VII Cheating

Criminal Brach of Trust

Class VIII Counterfeiting coins and currency notes

Class IX Absconders

Class X licit Distillers/Bootleggers

Class XI Professional Gamblers

Class XII Rowdies

Class XIII Hoarders, Profiteers and Adulterators of essential commodities.

IX. Categories of active criminals I others in the MOB of Urban P. Stns.

In the City/Town Stations, Main Index Cards will be maintained for criminals failing under the following categories.

Class-I Murder for gain,

Dcoity,

Robbery and Professional Poisoning.

Class-II House breaking & Theft

Lock breaking including using false key.

Window bar wrenching.

Inserting hand or stick

Through the window to remove articles,

Boring hole near the bolt,

Making auger hole near the key hole,

Lifting shutter of shop to permit young person to

Squeeze in and removing tiles.

Class-III House Theft-Theft in house shop, boat or bank

Class-IV Ordinary Theft-

Pocket picking, enticing children for purpose of removing their

Ornaments u/s 369-379 IPC, Cycle theft, copperwire theft

(Telephone, telegraph, electric wire), car theft, scooter theft

Batteries etc from parked cars.

Class-V Cattle theft

Class-VI Receiving stolen property

Receivers of Cycles

Copper wire

Cars,

Scooters,

Idols and antiques,

Radios and transistors.

Class-VII Cheating-

Duplicate currency trick passing of base metal as gold Bank

Fraud Campering with cheques and drafts by erasing entries by chemical process and superscribing or altering the amount.

Class-VIII Counterfeiting India coins and currency and counterfeiting foreign currency and Travelers Cheques.

Class-IX Absconders.

Class-X lllicit Distillers/Bootleggers

Class-XI Hoarders. Profiteers and adulterators of essential commodities.

Class-XII Manufactures of spurious drugs and dealers in spurious, time-barred and sub-standard drugs.

Class-XIII Adulteration of Toddy with Chloral Hydrate.

Class-XIV Smugglers of gold and other contra band goods.

Class-XV lllicit dealers in Arms and Explosives.

Class-XVI Rowdies.

X. K D C R Muster Roll of active criminals and others.

The corresponding Register of KDs and Suspects should be regarded as the muster roll of the active criminals and other included in the MOB and therefore should tally with the MOB.

For the purpose of enabling the local police officers to check the frequency of vigilance exercised on the active criminals by the Beat and Crime staff, the KDCR should be maintained and it should tally with the MOB. The names of active criminals who are non-local and absconders should be included in red ink for enabling the Local Police Officers to issue “A” Rolls to other Police Stations in the case of the former and to take legal Gazette notification and pursuit actions in the case of the latter.

XI. Later sub-Classifications:-

In the first stage, the Police Stations should have the MOB with Main Index Cards of the active criminals and others. Once this stage has developed satisfactory sub-classification of the active criminals should be done in future.

XII. Success of MOB:

Success of the MOB as the modern scientific aid to detection of property crime depends on the inclusion of really active criminals and others by the local Police Officers, under guidance of their supervisory officers. The latter should ensure that correct entries are made in the Main Index Cards and they are brought uptodate from time to time. The local Police Officer should append his dated signature after completing each Main Index Card. The Supervisory Officer should scrutinise the Main Index Card and append his date signature to his remarks.

With development of the MOB in Bangalore City and Districts it is expected that in the not-too distant future the MOB which is who’s who of the active criminals, will have developed to such an extent that detection of property crime is assured.

By development of MOB the local Police will be able to exercise more effective vigilance on the really active criminals thus ensuring prevention of property crime and if such crime is committed, detection will not be difficult.

The Superintendents of Police, Sub-Divisional Police Officers and Circle Police inspectors should constantly check the Main Index Cards and take their remarks with dated signatures to ensure that really active Criminals are included, that all entries in them are correct and upto date and that photographs are affixed.

Main Index Cards (specimen enclosed) will also be supplied shortly.

|Mysore Civil Service (conduct) Rules 1966 Acquisition, Disposal of Immovable and Movable Property |

|Instructions Issued |

***

Rule 23 (2) Mysore Civil Services (Conduct) Rules 1966 lays down that:

“No. Government servant shall, except with the previous knowledge of the prescribed authority, acquire or dispose of any immovable property by lease, mortgage, purchase sale gift or otherwise either in his own name or in the name of any member of his family.

Provided that the previous sanction of the prescribed authority shall be obtained by the Government servant if any such transactions is (i) with a person having official dealings with the Government servant or (ii) otherwise than through a regular or reputed dealer”.

2. Consequently, the Government servant is bound to obtain prior sanction of the prescribed authority, if any transaction relating to immovable property including construction of a House is entered into with a person with whom he has official dealings or if such transaction is carried on other than through a regular or reputed dealer. In other cases, he is bound to keep the prescribed authority informed of the transaction before it is entered into.

3. Instances have come to notice where the Government servants apply for House Building Advance or House Purchase Advance and construct or purchase houses from out of the advance without either obtaining prior sanction or without giving prior intimation as required by rules. They are probably under the wrong notion that if they apply for an advance for construction or purchase of a house, it amounts to giving prior intimation or applying for prior sanction, as the case may be.

4. Obtaining sanction of the competent authority for construction or purchase of a house is one aspect of the matter which is governed by the provisions of the Mysore Financial Code. This does not dispense with the requirement of Rule 23(2) Mysore Civil services (Conduct) Rule. 1966 which is different matter and has to be fulfilled. If a house is proposed to be built through a regular contractor with whom the Government servant has no official dealings, he should give prior intimation and in other cases, he should obtain the prior sanction of the prescribed authority. Failure to do so amounts to breach of conduct Rule.

1. Rule 23 (3) Mysore Civil Service (Conduct) Rules Requires that every Government servant shall report to the prescribed authority every transaction concerning movable property acquired or held by him in his own name or in the name of any member of his family if the value of the property exceeds Rs. 1,000/-in the case of a Government Servant holding Class-I or Class-Ii post of RS. 500/- in the case of a Government servant holding Class-III or IV post and that prior sanction will have to be obtained if the transaction is with a person with whom he has official dealings or otherwise than through a regular dealer.

2. Instances have also come to notice where Government. Servants applying for advance for the purchase of Motor Car/Motor Cycle have failed to apply for prior sanction or report the purchase of the Motor Car/Motor Cycle as required by rules. As in the case of acquisition of immovable property, it is the duty of every Government servant to apply for prior sanction whenever he intends buying a motor car/motor cycle otherwise than through a regular or reputed dealer or from a person with whom he has official dealings. If the purchase or sale is affected through a regular or reputed dealer or a person with whom he has no official dealings, it will be sufficient if he sends a report of the transaction. Failure to comply with this requirement Constitutes an infringement of the conduct Rules warranting disciplinary action.

3. The attention of all the Officers in State Police and other Government servants of the Department may be drawn to the above provisions and they may be warned that failure top comply with the provision of Rule 23 Mysore Civil Service Rule (Conduct) Rules. 1966 entails disciplinary action.

Order No. HD 229 PEG 1972, Bangalore dated 15-04-1974

***

The Government have had under consideration for sometime past the question of establishing a Corps of Detectives in the Criminal Investigation Department for investigating cases involving economic and financial offences and major crimes which would require special knowledge of both law and investigation. In order to achieve maximum results in the detection of crimes and with a view also to inspiring public confidence in the Police administration, it has been decided to build up a Corps of Detectives in the State CID.

2. A committee of senior Police Officers was appointed to examine this matter in all its details. The Committee has observed that an expansion of the Criminal Investigation Department along the existing lines will not meet the needs of the situation. With the opening up of the interior and improved communication facilities and with the development of Science and technology, criminals have acquired new and methods were unknown to the criminals of an earlier era. Further, white collar crimes are being committed more and more by intelligent cheats who adopt novel and scientific methods to defy detection. Again, counterfeit currency cases and cases relating to thefts of idols and antiques have also come to notice. Offences relating to persons such as for begging are being committed. With the increase in international tourist’s traffic, various other types of crimes are also likely to be imported into India. In this race, the criminals should not be allowed to get better of the police; the latter must keep themselves adequately equipped and trained to meet the challenge.

3. The study of the crime statistics by the Committee has disclosed the necessity for taking immediate steps to ensure that no important case goes undetected for want of sustained investigation. For this purpose, the C.I.D. would have to be manned by specially chosen officers of outstanding detective abilities.

4. The Corps of Detectives will be divided into the following Squads, each to deal with cases coming under a specific item of specialised crime and manned by the staff noted against each:

| |S.P |Dy. |DETECTIVES |

| | |S.P | |

| | | |PIs |SIs |HCs |PCs |

LEGAL AND EXPERT SERVICES.

5. In view of the complicated nature of the cases to be handled, it is considered necessary to provide the Corps of Detectives with the assistance of one Legal Adviser on a salary of Rs. 1,500/-PM and one Assistant Legal Adviser a salary of Rs. 600/-PM., both of them being appointed on contract basis for a period of 3 years in the first instance.

The Senior Auditor and the Junior Auditor will be drawn from the State Accounts Department on deputation basis.

MINISTERIAL STAFF.

7. For running this organisation, provision of sufficient ministerial staff is indispensable. Taking into account the existing staff available in the State CID, the Committee has recommended the sanction of additional posts of 4 Section Superintendents, 10 First Division Clerks, 16 Second Division Clerks, 12 Stenographers and 10 Typists.

TRANSPORT.

8. For the success of the Scheme, facilities for fast movement to all corners of the State are absolutely necessary. Taking into account the vehicles now available in the State CID, the Committee has recommended the provision of 6 Ambassador Cars 12 Jeeps and two one ton vans.

INCENTIVES.

9. In order to attract the best talent available, the Committee has considered various methods of providing incentives and has come to the conclusion that one of the ways to get the right type of officers is to sanction attractive special pays. Considering the special features of the work such as anonymity, isolation, long hours of work heavy touring and also having regard to the need for economy alround, the Committee has recommended the following scales of Special pay to be attached to the posts.

1. Superintendents of Police Rs. 200/- p.m. each

2. Deputy Superintendents of Police Rs. 175/- p.m. each

3. Circle Inspectors & Auditors Rs. 150/- p.m. each

4. Sub-Inspectors Rs. 150/- p.m. each

5. Head Constables Rs. 75/- p.m. each

6. Police Constables Rs. 50/- p.m. each

HEAD QUARTER

10. The Committee has suggested Bangalore City to be the Head Quarters of the entire staff attached to the Crops of Detectives.

RESIDENTIAL QUARTERS

11. At present, residential quarters cannot be made available to the staff in Bangalore City. The Committee has examined this problem and suggested the outright purchase from the Housing Board of 75 Middle Income Group Houses and 75 Loa Income Group Houses to accommodate 75 detective Circle Inspectors and 75 other detective executive staff or requisitioning of houses through the house Rent Controller for being allotted to the staff the rent being born by the Government. As this would take time, the Committee has recommended the sanction of Special House Rent allowance of Rs. 250/- P.M. to each of those to whom house cannot be provided free of rent.

12. After careful examination, the Government are pleased to accord sanction to the above proposals made by the Committee for the establishment of a Crops of Detectives in the State CID, Bangalore, subject to the following modifications.

|Cells for the assistance to Public |

|Reference: |Government Circular No. GAD 91 OAC 1965, dated: 08-09-1965. |

***

The Government have directed that in all Officers a ‘cell for assistance to the public’ should be set up. A copy of the Government Circular dated 08-09-1965 is enclosed.

Immediate action should be taken to set up Calls for the assistance of Public in all Unit offices of the Police Department. The Cell should be attached to the Gazetted Assistant to the Head of the Office. Where there are no Gazetted Assistants, the Manager of the Office should be in charge of the Cell.

Whenever any member of the Public appears with a representation, he should be heard in person by the Officer in charge of the cell and connected files, if looked into and a suitable endorsement given to the party indicating the stage at which the matter stands or the result of the action taken. No information, however, should be furnished on any classified matter,

If the petition is being forwarded to any subordinate office, or is being examined, the petitioner should be so informed. Where the petition requires immediate examination by higher authorities, it should be put up to the higher authorities and endorsement given to the party as per directions. Wherever the Head of office directs the Cell to watch the progress or disposal of the petition, the Cell should pursue the matter and report the result to the Superior. All heads of offices should inspect the Cell once in a month.

A board bearing inscription, both in English and Kannada ‘Cell for the assistance of the Public’, should be put up at each Cell.

In Chief Office, the assistant Inspector General will receive all visitors and receive their complaints. If any matter requires orders of the Inspector General of Police and all material relating thereto are readily available to enable the Inspector General of Police to taka a decision, the file should be put up to the Inspector General of Police and his orders obtained thereon.

Every efforts should be made to hear grievances of the members of public and attend to them promptly to make the Administration more effective, realistic and prompt.

Copy of General Administration Department’s (Bangalore) Circular No. GAD. 91. OAC. 65, dated 08-09-1965, addressed to all Heads of Departments and others.

The Government of India in the Ministry of Home Affairs have issued instructions to all the Ministries of the Government of India regarding setting up of ‘Complaint Cells’ in the Departments of the Central Governments as there has been a growing demand in parliament and out side for suitable machinery for looking into public grievances and to make the administration more effective, realistic and prompt.

The fact that there has been a growing demand for a special machinery to look into public grievances indicated that the present arrangements are not quite adequate. Hence it is considered necessary to devise measures that will give substantial satisfaction to the public in the matter of grievances against the administration and formalize some definite procedure which could be adopted uniformally throughout the State.

The subject was discussed at the meeting of the Divisional Commissioner held on 29-06-1965. A decision has been taken that at the Divisional Commissioner’s Office a Cell for assistance to the Public’ should be created to be placed in charge of one of the existing Gazetted Assistants. Similarly in the Officers of the Deputy Commissioners also, a suitable cell will be created and will be placed in charge of an officer of the status of a Thasildar working as General Assistant or Revenue Assistant to the Deputy Commissioner. Even the Officers of the Thasildars working as General Assistant or Revenue Assistant to the Deputy Commissioner. Even in the Offices of the Thasildars suitable machinery will be devised similar action will be taken in all the Unit offices both at the District level and at the Divisional level. The duties and functions of the ‘Cell for Assistance to Public’ will be to receive petitions and representations, to arrange to hear the petitioners and to see that suitable and prompt replies are given to the petitioners, where any particular problem is not likely to be of easy solution, the matter will be referred to superior officers. It should also be laid down that the Deputy Commissioners and the Assistant Commissioners will inspect periodically these cells and review the work done by them. It was agreed that there was no need for the creation of additional staff for these Cells and that Unit Offices themselves will reallocate the work amongst the staff in such a way that the incumbents at clerical levels are relieved of other duties to attend to this work. Officers to be placed incharge of these Cell, however, need not be divested of their normal work.

The Head of Departments are requested to take action on the lines indicated above to create ‘Cell for the Assistance to public’ in the Departments under their control.

STANDING ORDER NO. 636

No. KPM-14/1974 Dated: 21-10-1974

|Office Order Book - proper maintenance of |

***

During my inspections of the District Police Offices I noticed that in some District Police Offices the Office Order Book is maintained in bound book from, where the gists of the order passed and entered therein and than entries made in the Service Registers and Long Rolls wherever necessary. In some other District Police Offices, however, the Office Order Book is maintained in chicket book where copies of the orders have been pasted.

2. It is necessary to adopt a uniform procedure in the maintenance of Office Order Book in the District Police Offices and other Unit Offices. In this connection, the attention of the Superintendents of Police and other Unit Officers is drawn to the Note to sub-rule (K) of Rule 24 in Chapter-II of the Office Procedure for the District Police Offices under the heading ‘Matters relating to the Establishment Section’. These instructions should be followed strictly. It is stated in the Note as follows:

“Separate District Office Order Book should be maintained for the Ministerial and Executive staff. In this book all departmental orders issued in regard to appointments, promotions, leave (Other than casual leave) punishment etc., of any member of the staff ministerial or executive, should be recorded. The number in the order book will run serially from the commencement of the financial year and fresh book will be opened each year. The Order Book and copies or orders will be submitted to the Superintendent of Police or in his absence to the P.A. for check and signature together with the concerned files.

3. From this it is clear that all departmental orders relating to appointments, promotions, reductions, grant of increments, grant of leave other than casual leave, suspension, punishment etc., should be recorded in the Office Order Book than and there and each entry got attested by the Superintendent of Police/Unit Officer or his P.A The pasting of the copies of the orders, in the book, instead of recording the orders, is therefore, incorrect.

4. The Office Order Book should contain the following headings:

i) Serial number:

ii) Number and date of the order and designation of the authority

passing the order;

iii) Nature of the order in brief; and

|Computerisation of pay Bills in the Police Department instructions regarding. |

***

1. At present the monthly pay bills of Police personnel (both executive and ministerial) are prepared by copying out all the names and other particulars from the previous month’s pay bill incorporating changes that have occurred in the emoluments and deductions during the month. This process involves lot of copying work consuming much time and energy sometimes resulting in delay in receipt of salary up to 4th or 5th of subsequent month. The possibility of human errors like omissions, quoting wrong numbers of insurance policies, provident fund account etc., cannot be ruled out.

2. In order to obviate the aforementioned difficulties and to save time and labour of the employees engaged in the job so that they can be more usefully employed on the jobs, it has been decided to computerize the pay bills in the Police Department under the “Employee Pay Roll System.” The Scheme has already been introduced in the Chief Office and partly in the Offices of the Deputy Inspectors General of Police, Intelligence, C.I.D. and Commandant, Ist Battalion, KSRP and it is proposed to extend the same to other Police Offices in Bangalore City and to the District Offices in due course.

3. The pay bill computerisation scheme covers the preparation of :

i) Monthly Pay Bills

ii) All deduction statements to be enclosed to the pay bills.

iii) Statement showing the names of employees to whom increments are due in a particular month

iv) Statement showing the names of employees who are due to retire from service in a particular year on attaining the age of superannuation.

4. The system has the following advantages:

i) Every employee will get a neatly printed pay slips every month which he can keep as a permanent record.

ii) The pay slip will enable the employee to have full particulars of his pay and allowances and if anything is short-paid he can putforth his claim without any delay.

iii) By reporting the increments due atleast 2 months ahead, action can be taken to draw the same in time.

iv) Tedious calculations of average pay are saved any delay in payment of leave salary avoided.

v) The attendance statement furnished to the computer Centre every month forms the basis for building leave account & personal file of each employee. This enables quicker settlement of pension cases, collection of information about each employee etc.

vi) Tedious calculation of interest on House Building/Motor Car/Cycle etc. advance is saved.

vii) Recoveries from employees will be watched automatically once the particulars are furnished.

viii) Deduction statements will be prepared accurately, which correct numbers of provident fund account, insurance policies etc.

5. Detailed instructions regarding the pay bill computerisation scheme are contained in the book-let “Employee Pay Roll System” issued by the Karnataka Govt. Computer Centre, Vidhana Veedhi, Bangalore. Following instructions are issued for the guidance of all the Unit Offices in this behalf.

1) It is of utmost importance that the particulars in the Multiple Master Card Layout format in the proforma prescribed in Annexure-3 are furnished very accurately as any error in the format may result in recording of wrong information on the tape and wrong calculation of pay allowances month after month.

2) The Check List should be scrutinised carefully and any error rectified before the final pay bill is printed.

3) The variable information should be furnished to the Computer Centre on or before the 15th of the month in the monthly changes Multiple Card format (Annexure-4) so that there may be sufficient time for the programmers to bring the Master Pay Tape up-to-date and give the check list well in time for verification and correction, if any.

4) The Pay bill are printed in triplicate. The original along with deduction statement should be sent to the Treasury. The second copy along with the schedules should be got stitched securely with a wrapper and the third copy handed over to the individuals as the Pay Slip along with salary at the time of disbursement. The deduction statement of the third copy may be neatly stitched and maintained separately for future reference.

5) Once in a year the paid acquittance rolls in which stamped acknowledgements of individuals have been obtained should be got bound and maintained as a permanent record in the Office.

6) The above instructions should be followed meticulously by all the concerned Unit Officers whose Unit Pay Bills have already been computerized.

7) The dates from which computerisation will be extended to other Districts/Units will be intimated in due course. It is proposed to gradually extend the system taking into account the capacity of the Computer Centre.

STANDING ORDER NO. 644

No. STS-II-2/174/1974, Dated: 17-12-1974

|Maintenance of Police Motor Vehicles |

***

During my inspections I observed that maintenance of Departmental vehicles is neglected by the M.T. Section of the concerned Units. Several damages both minor and major caused to the vehicles during their run on duty are not set right immediately on their return, with the result the conditions of the vehicles deteriorates further.

2. Instructions regarding maintenance of vehicles are given in Rule 14 of the Rules for the purchase, maintenance and up keep etc., of Motor Vehicles in the Police Department issued under G.O. No. HD 10 PMV. 61, dated 05-03-1964 (communicated with Standing Order No. 596) and also under order No. 2012 of the KPM

These instructions should strictly be followed by all officers concerned.

While the Superintendent of Police and other Unit Officers should ensure that the above instructions regarding maintenance of vehicles are meticulously followed, they should also introduce with immediate effect, a system of inspection of each vehicle on its return from duty so that defects, breakages and damages etc. noticed are set right then and there and the loss if any, caused due to negligence of any Officer is also made good, without unnecessary loss of time. For this purpose the Unit Officer and in the case of vehicle under C.A.R, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, CAR, may authorize an Officer of the rank of ARSI or above as considered necessary. Such a system of inspection in addition to periodical inspections will go along way in ensuring proper and efficient maintenance of Departmental Vehicles thereby achieving long serviceability and maximum utility.

As regards vehicles kept at the disposal of SDPOs and C.Is in places other than District Headquarters the Officer-in-charge of the vehicle should check-up the vehicle daily on its return from duty and record in a register to be maintained for the purpose, the defects, breakages etc., noticed and the action taken to set them right and for recovery of loss caused etc., including the reports sent to the Superintendents of Police concerned.

The Superintendents of Police on receipt such report should examine the matter personally and take appropriate steps. Whenever the vehicles kept in mofussil places are brought to District Headquarters on duty, they should be got checked up in the District M.T Section and repairs got effected under orders of the competent authority.

The Range, Deputy Inspector General of Police, during their inspection of the Districts, S.D.P.Os and Circles, should make it a point to see that the maintenance of the vehicles at District Headquarters and at other places is done properly and the system of inspection contemplated under this Standing Order is also adhered to. In respect of vehicles maintained in CAR, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, CAR and the Commissioner of Police, will take similar action.

The receipt of this Standing Order should be acknowledged.

No. CB-179/1974, Dated: 16-12-1974

|Annual Confidential Reports of Subordinates Police Officers – Police Inspectors and |

|Sub-Inspectors-Mode of writing |

***

It is observed that in several cases the Officer reviewing the remarks made in the Annual Confidential Reports by the Reporting Officer has differed with the remarks recorded without assigning any reasons for the same. Whenever an Officer adversely reported makes a representation for expunging the adverse remarks, it has been found difficult to meet the several points raised by him as the remarks made are not based on any facts and figures. The Annual Confidential Report folder of an Officer is an important record which should give a clear picture his work and conduct and plays an important role while making promotions. As such, it is imperative that the Officers writing and reviewing the ACRs, should exercise utmost care and caution while writing and reviewing their reports. It has also been observed that adverse remarks are not promptly communicated to an Officer with the result that while making promotions, the claims of an Officer due for promotion has been overlook on the basis of adverse remarks even though the adverse remarks have not been communicated to him. The Government in their Official Memorandum No. GAD 33 SSR 1974 dated 02-12-1974 (copy enclosed) have also made comments in this regard.

During the Annual Conference of Police Officers held at Bangalore on 08-01-1974, the subject came up for discussion. In pursuance of the discussions held, instructions were issued to all the Superintendents of Police and Deputy Inspectors General of Police in this Office memo no. CB-3/113/1974, dated 12th Aught 1974 regarding the writing of the Annual Confidential reports, maintenance of Confidential personal files, communication of Adverse remarks to the Officers etc. This subject again came up for discussion in the recent Conference held from 3rd to 8th December 1974. All the Deputy Inspector General of Police and the Superintendent of Police fully participated, in the discussions and in pursuance of the same, certain decision has been arrived at. For the guidance of the Officers initiating the reports and for the guidance of those to whom the Annual Confidential Reports are subsequently forwarded, the following Instructions are issued:-

3. In Order to assist and help the Superintendents of Police/Deputy Commissioners of Police and the Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police in making a correct assessment of the work of each Sub-Inspector and Inspector, the Superintendents of Police/Deputy Commissioners of Police should obtain from each Sub-Inspector and Inspector a report showing the work turned out by the Sub-Inspector/Inspector during the calendar year. The report should be obtained through proper channels and those of the Sub-Inspectors kept with the Superintendent of Police/Deputy Commissioner of Police and those of the Inspectors of Police forwarded to the concerned Deputy Inspectors General of Police/Commissioner of Police.

These reports will enable the Superintendent of Police/Deputy Commissioners of Police/Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police to come to know of any good work by an Officer which, might have escaped their attention during the year.

4. As soon as the Annual Confidential Reports of the Sub-Inspectors are received by the Superintendents of Police Deputy Commissioners of Police they should record their remarks. If there are any adverse remarks in the Annual Confidential Reports the same should be immediately communicated to the officers concerned and copies of the memos conveying such remarks should be attached to the Annual Confidential/Reports and forwarded to the Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police concerned for their perusal and return.

5. In the case of Inspectors of Police, the Deputy Inspectors General of Police/Commissioner of Police should promptly communicate the adverse remarks and forward to the Inspector General of Police the Annual Confidential Reports together with a copy of the memo issued by the Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police.

6. The good work done should also be communicated along with the adverse remarks as required under the orders issued by the Government.

7. The procedure now laid down not only enables the Superintendents of Police/Deputy Commissioners of Police/Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police to make a proper assessment of the work of each Sub-Inspector/Police Inspector but also help them in promptly communicating the adverse remarks if any.

8. The reports by the Sub-Inspectors/Police Inspectors referred to in para 3 should not repeat not be filed in the personal files (Annual Confidential Report Folders) but should be kept in separate volumes for any future reference by the Superintendents of Police/Deputy Commissioners of Police and Deputy Inspector General of Police/Commissioner of Police.

9. The above instruction will come into effect immediately and the procedure should be followed in respect of Annual Confidential Reports to be written up for the year 1974.

10. The receipt of the Standing Order should be acknowledged.

|Confidential Report Communication of adverse remarks. |

|Reference: |O.M. No. GAD 10 SSR 1972, dated: 10-03-1972 |

***

It has been brought to the notice of Government that in certain cases, while making promotions, the claims of Officers due for promotion have been overlooked on the basis of adverse remarks in their Confidential Reports even though these adverse remarks were not communicated to the officers concerned, inspite of the instructions issued in the O.M. dated: 10-03-1972.

2. The Karnataka Civil Services (Confidential Reports) Rules, 1965 being statutory rules made by the Governor under article 309 of the Constitutions, are mandatory in their operation. Rule I of these rules requires that all adverse remarks shall be communicated immediately in writing to the officer concerned. According to rule 9 of these rules as substituted by Notification No. GAD 35 SSR 1969 dated 06-02-1970 which come into effect on 05-03-1970, every officer to whom adverse remarks are communicated can make a representation against these remarks. It is therefore, necessary that in every case the adverse remarks must be communicated and if this is not done, the action taken (or proposed to be taken to the prejudice of an Officer) on the basis of these adverse remarks would be against the principles of natural justice. Communication of adverse remarks will have to be prior to taking any action thereon Promotional claims of officers should not therefore, be overlooked solely on the basis of uncommunicated adverse remarks.

|Maintenance of Crime Register Karnataka Police Manual Form No. 20 Instructions Issued |

***

During the Annual Conference of Superintendents of Police and Deputy Inspectors General of Police held in December 1970 and 1972, one of the subjects discussed was the desirability of re-introduction of the Old Crime History Part I prescribed in the erstwhile State of Mysore. The matter was referred in the 1972 Conference to a Sub-Committee consisting of the Deputy Inspector General of Police CID, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Headquarters and the Superintendent of Police, Crime Branch I, CID. Accordingly, the Sub-committee submitted its report on 03-01-1974It is

2. I discussed the report of the Sub-Committee with the proposed of the subject (Item No. 4 of the Conference of 1972), two members of the Sub-Committee and other Senior Officers. The discussions led to the conclusion that there is no need to reintroduce Crime History Part I (Form No. 78-i) of the Old Mysore Police Manual and increase the scriptory work of the Station House Officer in view of the existence of Crime Register in form 20 of the K.P.M. (copy enclosed) which is a permanent record prescribed under Order No. 1224 of the K.P.M. and which has to be and is being maintained in all Police Stations.

3. The salient points of the discussions and decisions are given below:-

4. Order No. 1030 of the Karnataka Police Manual prescribes Crime History Part I to VII as below.

Crime History (Part I) - Villages Statistics

Crime History (Part II) - Village Crime Register

Crime History (Part III) - Crime Register

Crime History (Part III-A) - Crime Register

Crime History (Part IV) - Important notes on the Village

Crime History (Part V) - General Conviction Register

Crime History (Part VI) - History Sheets

Crime History (Part VII) - Station Crime Chart.

5. Crime History Parts I to IV

Crime History (Part I) dealing with village Statistics is required to be maintained in Form No. 90 and instructions in this regard are contained in order No. 1032 of the Karnataka Police Manual. Crime History (Part II) in Form No. 91 is to contain all true cases pertaining to the village coming under Class I to IX, enumerated in Order No. 1698 of the Karnataka Police Manual. Instructions in this regard are given in orders 1033 and 1034 of the Karnataka Police Manual. Crime History (Part III) to be maintained in Form No. 92 is a record of all criminals or suspects residing in the Village. Instructions for maintaining in this record are found in Order No. 1036 of the Karnataka Police Manual. Crime History (Part III-A) in form No. 93 is to contain the names of KDs. Ex. Convicts and suspects visiting the village. Crime History (Part-IV) in form No. 94 is to contain confidential and important notes on factions, disputes, festivals etc., of the village. Instructions for the maintenance of this Part are contained in Orders 1038 to 1042 of the Karnataka Police Manual.

6. Crime History (Part I to IV) of the Karnataka Police Manual, which is a record for each village, corresponds to Station Crime History Part IV maintained in Form No. 78-IV as per instructions contained in Order No. 373 of the Old Mysore Police Manual. It also corresponds to Form No. 123 of the Madras Police Standing Orders and relevant provisions in Old Hyderabad State. It also corresponds to village Crime Note Book Part I to IV prescribed in Order No. 52 of the Bombay Police Manual 1950 (Volume III). In fact, the Crime History Part I to IV now prescribed in the Karnataka Police Manual is on the lines prescribed in Old Bombay Karnataka area and is more comprehensive in format than the forms in the other Police Manuals. Instructions regarding the maintenance of these forms in Crime History Part I to IV have been given in Orders No. 1032 to 1042 the Karnataka Police Manual.

7. Parts I, II, III, III-A and IV of Crime History which contain information of villages should be bound together in loose leaf binders of the standard pattern and of durable quality for each village so that fresh sheets may be added, if necessary vide Order No. 1039 of the Karnataka Police Manual.

8. Officers are therefore directed to ensure that Parts I, II, III, III-A and IV of the Crime History are maintained in loose leaf binders, one binder, being allotted to each village. Where this record has not been opened for any village, it should be opened immediately and maintained in the new forms; where these records have been maintained in the old forms, information therein should be transcribed in the new forms and continued to be maintained in the new forms without destroying the old record which should however, be stitched or kept along with the new binder.

9. Crime History Part V.

Crime History Part V prescribed in form No. 248 of Karnataka Police Manual is the General Conviction Register for the entire Police Station, containing the names of persons convicted for Offences under Chapter XI, XII, XVI, XVII and XVIII of the I.P.C and persons bound over Under Sections 108, 109 or 110 Cr.P.C and others convicted under Telegraph Wires (Unlawful Possession) Act 1955, Railway Stores (Unlawful Possession) Act 1950, Indian Railways Act 1890, Karnataka Habitual Offenders Act 1961 Karnataka Police Act 1963 and for other persons whose names are to be brought on the register as per Orders No. 1044, 1045 and 1046 of the Karnataka Police Manual.

10. The corresponding Register in the Old Mysore State was form No. 80 of Old Mysore Police Manual Though this was prescribed as a permanent record, it did not form part of Crime History of the Police Station. The Crime History Part of III in old Mysore was in (form No. 78-III of old Mysore Police Manual and consisted of cards. The corresponding record to Crime History Part III (Form No. 78-III of Old Mysore) is MOB Cards now prescribed in Standing Order No. 615 dated 22-03-1972. The form which is now prescribed in S.O. No. 615 is more comprehensive and, as separately directed. Should be maintained. It is a very useful record in the present context and its correct and complete maintenance in the MOB Cabinet should be ensured. In addition to this, the SHO has a loose-leaf index offence wise written up in form No. 95 prescribed under Order No. 1050 of KPM which is a very useful record for the investigating Officer.

11. There was an analogous register prescribed in order No. 59 of the Old Bombay Police Manual 1950 (Volume III) in erst-while Bombay Karnataka area to Crime History Part V containing all convictions of persons in Cognizable cases. In Madras it was known as “Part III and General Convictions Register” in form No. 126, A Similar record also existed in old Hyderabad State.

12. The format now prescribed for the General Conviction Register Part V of the Crime History of Karnataka Police Manual in form No. 248 is more comprehensive and should be opened where they have not yet been opened. The Old Volume of GCR in Police Station whatever name they went by should not be destroyed, but they should be preserved, but they should be preserved and the new Register in form No. 248 of Karnataka Police Manual considered as a continuous record, the fresh entries being made in the new form.

13. Crime History Part VI.

Crime History Part VI Prescribed in form No. 97 of Karnataka Police Manual contains History Sheets of persons residing permanently or temporarily in the Station limits who are know or belived to be addicted to or to aid and abet the commission of Crime, whether convicted or not, or who are belived to be habitual receivers. Instructions for the opening, maintenance, closure and transfer of History Sheets are given in Order No. 1052 to 1058, 1060 and 1061. These forms correspond to the History Sheets maintained in Crime History Part V of the Old Mysore Police Manual, and analogous provisions in the Bombay Police Manual, Madras Police Standing Orders and in Hyderabad Karnataka area. History Sheets, in future, shall be maintained in form No. 97 of the Karnataka Police Manual. History Sheets already opened in whatever form shall be transcribed in the new form. The old History Sheets shall not be destroyed but on the other hand got stitched to the new History Sheets of the respective Criminals.

14. Crime History Part. VII.

Crime History Part VII being the Station Crime Chart shall be maintained as per instructions contained in Order No. 1064 of the Karnataka Police Manual. This is nothing but a crime map and was being maintained in all the regions now comprised in the Karnataka State even prior to the re-organisation of the States. It is to be prepared one or more for each year as required and Old Crime Maps preserved for any future reference.

15. Crime Register (Form No. 20 of K.P.M)

As stated in Paragraph 2 above, the Old Station Crime History Part I (form No. 78-I) of the Old Mysore Police Manual has a parallel in form No. 20 of the Karnataka Police Manual which, however is more comprehensive in the information it furnishes than form No. 78-1 of the Old Mysore Police Manual.

16. According to Standing Order 540 issued by the then inspector General of Police on 22-02-1961, all the Police Stations were required to maintain the Cognisable Crime Register for the time being only in respect of IPC cases at the Police Station level only. The question of introducing the Register gradually for recording the cases under the Prohibition and other Special and Local Laws and also un-natural deaths as the introduction of such a Register at the Circle Police Office and SDPO level was left then, for decision at a future date. On the introduction of the Police Manual in 1965. Form No. 20 which is an improved version of the Cognisable Crime Register came into being. The Karnataka Police Manual prescribes that Crime Register in form No. 20 shall be maintained at different levels namely Police Station, Circle Office, SDPO and DPO Instructions in this regard are contained in Order 190 in respect of the SDPO and S.P., Order No. 217 in respect of the Police Inspectors, Order No. 1224 in respect of Police Station and Order No. 1890 in respect of Railway Police.

17. By a directive of Shri P.J. Lewis the then Deputy Inspector General of Police, Northern Range, and later as Deputy Inspector General of Police, Central Range, some time back and also by an oral directive of his, in respect of Bangalore City, Crime Register For No. 20 is reported to be divided and maintained in 7 parts as follows.

Part VII - Referred cases U/S 202 Cr. PC.

18. The advantages of making entries in regard to true professional property of fences in one single record as obtaining in Form No. 78-1 of the Old Mysore Manual to facilitate review have also been Mooted by some Officers and considered.

19. Taking into account all aspects, the following instructions are issued.

20. As a comprehensive format in Form No. 20 has now been prescribed in Karnataka Police Manual the instructions contained in Standing Order 540 dated 22-02-1961 should be considered as re-dundant.

21. The instruction issued by the then Deputy Inspector General of Police, Northern Range, etc, and referred to in para 17 are hereby cancelled.

No. 4/GC/1975, Dated: 04-01-1975

|Training of Civil HCs/PCs in VHF wireless Communication |

***

I. Under the scheme of modernisation of Police Force, we are taking several steps. One such step is to modernize the Radio Communication. It is our intimate aim to provide the Radio Communication. It is our ultimate aim to provide the Radio Communication to all Police Stations in the State. As a first step, it is proposed to extend Radio Communication to all Sub-Divisions and Circle Headquarters during 1975-76 subject to availability of wireless sets and necessary funds. The Radio Communication proposed to be provided will normally consists of VHF communication with R/T system. Such a VHF communication with R/T system can be operated by intelligent and educated HCs/PCs who have aptitude for working on radio communication. It is therefore proposed to train the required number of civil Police Constables/Head Constable in operating VHF sets. It is only those who are trained should be permitted to handle the concerned wireless equipments.

2. A short course for a period of 12 working days will be organised in Bangalore city at certain District Headquarters during the months of January 1975 to June 1975. The Superintendent of Police, Wireless will send two teams of Instructors who will organise the course to impart necessary training. The programme of training is given below:-

|(The training is inclusive of Ii Saturdays). |

3. In allotting the seats, not only the number of circles have been taken into consideration, but also the approximate number of candidates required for any VHF communication that may be required to be organised in the Districts in due course.

4. The Superintendent of Police should select from all the circles and also from personnel posted in the Headquarters. The qualification prescribed for the candidates to be selected for the training is as under:-

i) Should have good knowledge of English and Kannada and should preferably have passed S.S.L.C

ii) Should have put in minimum of 3 years service and should not be above 35 years of age.

iii) Should be able to write in neat and legible characters;

iv) The personnel selected should be such as fit to be posted in Police Stations located in the circles;

v) As the wireless set will be located in the Police Station, the candidates should not ordinarily be writers and others attached to Circle Offices.

5. After imparting training in wireless Communication to the HCs/PCs the Superintendents of Police should ensure that the wireless sets are handled and operated only by the trained Police Constables. As wireless equipments are very costly it is not advisable to allow unqualified operators to tamper with them.

Necessary facilities for training should be made available by the Superintendents of Police at the places where training will be conducted.

|Essential Commodities Act-Seizures of food grains, other essential commodities and |

|vehicles-Register to be kept in DPO |

***

I have been finding that proper statistics of seizure of food –grains and other essential commodities, their disposal etc., are not being made readily available with the result that quite often the Deputy Inspector General of Police, CID, and this office have been obtaining information by sending wireless messages. The statistics reported are found quite often to be inaccurate and incomplete.

With effect from 1st January 1975, a register in the enclosed proforma should be maintained in the DPO. The register should be maintained Police Station-Wise, setting apart a few pages for each Police Station. The entries under several colums and the information should be recorded at every stage promptly so that up to date information is available in the registered any information required by the Superintendent of Police from their Sub-Inspectors should be obtained at the time of holding monthly Crime Conference.

The cases reported under the essential Commodities Act 1955 from the 1st January should be brought on to this register.

Separately I will prescribing a monthly review in respect of which instructions will follow.

The receipt of these Standing orders should be acknowledged.

STANDING ORDER NO. 651

No. 331/TEN, C1/74-75, Dated: 19-02-1975

|Retirement of Government Servants on invalid pension |

***

Attention is invite to Rule 273 of the KCSRs which inter-alia lays down that Government Servant who by bodily or mental infirmity is permanently incapacitated (i) for public service or (ii) for the particular branch to which he belongs be awarded and invalid pension o his retirement. Note-2 there under states that ‘Every effort should be made to find for such a Government Servant other employment suited to his particular capacity’

2. Experience has shown that whenever a PC/HC or any other Police Officer becomes physically disabled on amount of illhealth or in the course of discharge of his duties, his case is as a matter of routine considered for invalid pension and no earnest effort is made to find other employment suited to his capacity. For instance, in Police Department itself there are posts of Dalayaths in almost all the Police Offices which are less arduous and exacting in character than regular Police duties.

3. Rule 278(b) of KCSRs, clearly lays down that in cases of partial in capacity referred to under the second alternative certificate, a Government servant should, if possible, be employed even on lower pay so that the expense of pensioning him may be avoided. In this connection, it may be pertinent to reproduce the relevant provisions of Rule 260 of the KCSRs which reads ‘to pension a Government Servant still capable of useful service is a waste of public money……’ Rule 279A KCSRs, fore warns Superintendents of Police to be on their guard against endeavors to retire on invalid pension, Officers who are capable of serving longer.

4. In spite of all the aforementioned provisions of rules, it is seen that a number of cases of invalid pension particularly in the cadre of PCs/HCs are coming up from some of the Districts for sanction and no effort appears to have been made to find suitable alternate employment if necessary even in other cadres on lower pay to the incumbents and the pension papers are forwarded with a certificate that there is no other post in which he can be employed and that he may be retired on invalid pension as a matter of course.

5. Government have taken a serious view of the matter and have directed that whenever it is certified by a competent Medical Officer that a Government Servant is completely and permanently incapacitated for further service in that particular branch to which he belongs or that he is fit for further service of a less laborious character than the one which he is doing or may after resting for a specific period of time be fit for further service of a less laborious character than that which he has being doing, all efforts should be made to find him an alternative employment suited to his particular capacity even in another cadre on a lower pay and only when there is no post suited to the level of capacity/incapacity of the official his/her case should be recommended for invalid pension.

6. Another point which needs to be stressed in this connection is that according to Rule 282 of KCSRs, a Government Servant who has submitted a Medical certificate on incapacity for further service under Rule 275 of KCSRs, must not be retained in service pending a decision on his application for pension but may be given leave at credit for a period not exceeding six months and permitted to retire at the end of that period. Instances have come to noticed where some of the Superintendents of Police have retained such officials in service pending a decision on their application for pension and Government had to be approached for necessary sanction. According to Note under Rule 282 KCSRs even in such cases not more than six months service from the date to the Medical Certificate can be reckoned for pension and as such it will not be proper to retain such officials on duty once they are certified to be incapacities for the particular branch of work.

7. The above instructions may be kept in view by all the District and Unit Officers while considering the applications of their subordinates for invalid pension in future.

|Manner in which the Members of Parliament and Legislature should be treated when they meet Officers|

|at Public functions – instructions issued. |

***

Instructions regarding the behavior of Police Officer toward members of Parliament and Legislature are laid down in Orders 294 and 295 K.P.M. Vol I. These instructions are reiterated in Government O.M. No. GAD. 23 PLX 68 dated 30-05-1968 according to which due courtesy should be shown to the Members of Parliament and Legislature when they meet Officers of the State Government on official business. When Officers are unable to accede to the request or suggestion of the Members of Parliament Legislature, the reasons for the Officers inability should be courteously explained to them. Again in Government O.M. No. GAD 15 PLX 1972, dated 28-11-1972, it is directed that whenever Members of Parliament and Members of the State Legislature visit any Officer of the State Government, the Officer concerned should make a note of their visit in a register showing the date and time of the visit and the action taken on the request made by the Member which should also be indicated in brief in the register. In this connection, attention is drawn to Law Section Circular No. 3152 issued in No. LAW. E2 75/72 dated 16-12-1972.

2. In Government C.M. No. GAD.4 PLX 75, dated 27-01-1975, the Government have reiterated their earlier instructions and directed that due courtesy should be shown to the Members of Parliament and Legislature at all times, particularly public functions seats be fitting their position being reserved for them. A copy of the Government O.M. dated 27-01-1975 is enclosed.

3. In conformity with the Official Memorandum, the following instructions are issued:

1) Members of the Legislature have important constitutional functions to perform and they should be given full assistance by Government Servants in this behalf.

2) Due courtesy should be shown to the Members of Parliament and Legislature and other representatives of the Public at all times.

3) Whenever public functions are arranged by the Police action may be taken to ensure the members of Parliament and Legislature in the area and other representatives of the Public are invited and seats be fitting their position are reserved for them.

Copy of Official Memorandum No. GAD 4 DLX 75, dated 27-01-1975 from the Additional Secretary to Government, General Administration Department, Bangalore, addressed to the Head of Department.

Instructions issued in regard to the manner in which the members of Parliament and Legislature should be treated when they meet Officers at public function

In O.M. No. GAD. 23 PLX 68 dated 30the May 1968, instructions have been issued regarding the manner in which Members of Parliament and the State Legislature should be treated, when they Meet Officers on official business.

In O.M. No. GAD 15 OLX 72, dated 01-12-1972 it has further been directed that whenever Members of Parliament and Members of the State Legislature visit any Officer of the Secretariat Departments, the Officer concerned should make a note of their visit in a register, showing the date and time of the visit and the action taken on the request of the Member, which should also be indicated in brief in the register.

It has come to the notice of Government that due courtesy is not being shown to Legislators at public functions organised by Government servants. Government views this with concern. The Members of the Legislature have important constitutional functions and they should be given full Asst. by Government Servants in this respect. While therefore, reiterating the instructions issued earlier, all Heads of Departments are requested to ensure that due courtesy is shown to the Members of Parliament and to the Legislators and other representatives of the public at all times, particularly at public functions, seats be fitting their position should be reserved for them the Heads of Department are also requested to issue suitable instructions to their subordinates working under their administrative control in this behalf.

3. G.O. No. HD 212 PEG 72, dated 03-12-1974

1. Consequent on the reorganization of States on 01-11-1956 Police Forces belonging to 5 different States came under one administration in the New Mysore State. Each of these five States had its own uniform for its Police Force and therefore the need arose for having a common pattern of uniform for all the members of the Police Force of the New Mysore State. A proposal was sent to Government for prescribing a set of common uniform. Government in their orders cited at Sl. No. I above sanctioned the proposal.

2. Subsequently proposals were sent to Government in 1963 prescribing common uniform to Assistant Sub-Inspectors Assistant Reserve Sub-Inspectors and Government approved free supply of the same in their Order cited at Sl. No. 2 above.

3. Since then changes have taken place in thinking and out-look of the Police on the one hand and the attitude of the public towards the Police on the other. The State has also been renamed as KARNATAKA. In Order to enable the Police Force to keep pace with the spirit of the times and create a favorable image in the public eye, it was considered necessary to revise the Police uniform, so as to make it this not only functional but also comfortable. In keeping with this trend, proposals were sent to Government for permitting Sub-Inspectors also to wear open collar coats as in the case of Circle Inspectors, instead of close collar coats and also for doing away with the wearing of shorts, hose-tops and ankle putties. Government have approved the same in their Order cited a Sl. No. (3) above.

Proposals are being sent to Government separately to remove these anomalies.

Immovable property can be acquired only with the previous sanction or knowledge of the prescribed authority, it has been observed that the prescribed authorities do not scrutinise such cases with reference to the properties if any already owned by a Government Servant and whether further acquisition of the property can be possible from his known sources of income. Normally a Government Servant who has no sources of income other than his salary will not be able to acquire more than one house or site during his career. In order to ensure that a Government servant in acquiring any property does not incur debts beyond his repaying capacity while maintaining a standard of living befitting his status, it is considered necessary to lay down the following guidelines for scrutinizing such cases:

1. All intimations of acquisition or applications for grant of permission to acquire property should be examined by the prescribed authorities with reference to; (a) the immovable properties, if any, already possessed by the Government servant, (b) his known sources of income and liabilities (c) Whether there are possibilities of the Government Servant making use of his official position for acquiring property, (d) whether the Government servant has to incur debts to acquire the property and if so, whether having regard to his existing liabilities the additional liability will be within his repaying capacity. If after considering the above aspects it is found that the acquisition of property no reasonable relation to the Government servant’s paying capacity and his know sources of income, the Government servant should be requested to reconsider the request for permission to acquire the property. If it is only an intimation of having acquired the property, further investigation may be taken up if necessary, through the Vigilance Commission.

2. In case of construction or extension of houses the provisions of O.M. No. GAD 7 SRC 73, dated 03-10-1973 should be strictly enforced to see that construction is not undertaken beyond the financial capacity of a Government servant.

3. As laid down in O.M. No. GAD 6 SRC 70 dated 17-08-1970, the Annual Property Returns submitted by a Government servant should be scrutinized every year to verify whether there are any variations in the annual property statements involving breach of the Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules which would necessitate action against him or whether the total assets of the Government Servant are disproportionate to his known sources of income which would warrant further investigation.

4. In the periodical review of the Annual Property Returns, where discrepancies are established or it is seen that the assets possessed cannot be supported by or are disproportionate to the known sources of income of a Government servant, the Vigilance Commission can be requested to investigate and determine whether action can be taken under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The above instructions are brought to the notice of all prescribed authorities for strict compliance.

STANDING ORDER NO. 656

No. 215/BF/1974-75, Dated: 23-03-1975

|Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day observance of |

***

1. Introduction:

In a democratic set up, as in our country, it is of paramount importance for the efficient working of the various enforcement agencies, particularly the Police Force, to enlist the unstinted support and Co-operation of the Public in the performance of their day to day duties. Such support and co-operation from the general Public can be secured more generously and promptly, only if the public are periodically informed of the duties and responsibilities of the Police and how they serve the needs of the people.

While service to the people by the Police has to be every minute and every day of the year, it helps to strengthen the Police public Relationship if due publicity is given to such relationship between the Police and the Public at least on one day in the year.

3. The general Public are aware that a day known as the ‘Flag Day’ is being observed throughout the country by the Defence Forces for the welfare of their ex-servicemen. It is only befitting that the Police Force of Karnataka State also observe a ‘Flag Day’ as a day of dedication of our constant concern for and service to the people of Karnataka State. The Second of April each year would be the appropriate Day for the observance of such a Flag Day as it is on this date in 1965 that the Karnataka State Police Act was ushered in to serve the people in this vast land of Vishal Karnataka.

4. To give effect to this a concept of dedication and service, a proposal was sent to Government for observance of Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day in Chief Office letter No. 215 BF/74, dated 15-01-1975 and the Government are pleased to accord sanction to the following in their Order No. HD 25 PEG 75 dated 21-02-1975 (copy enclosed).

i) To observe 2nd April of every year as “Karnataka Rajya Police Flag

Day”.

ii) To constitute State Committee and District/Unit Committees for

operating the fund.

iii) To hold ceremonial parades on the “Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day’, both at State Headquarters and District/Unit Headquarters to commemorate the day.

Aim and Object

The Police Flag Day should be held to rededicate our service to the Police and for the benefit of the retired personnel of the Department.

6. Ceremonial Parade:

A ceremonial parade should be held at each District Headquarters and in Bangalore City on the Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day i.e., on 2nd Day of April each year, to observe the Flag Day. As many members of the public as possible including M.Ps., M.L.As, M.L.Cs and leading citizens of the District and officials should be invited. In particular all retired Police Officers should be invited. The parade may be held either in the morning or in the evening according to the convenience of the local administration. The ceremonial parade should be simple but dignified and befitting the occasion. It should be commanded by a young and smart officer. At three Range Headquarters, of Belgaum, Mysore and Gulbarga the Divisional Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner in the other Districts should be requested to take the salute. In the case of Bangalore the Chief Secretary will be requested to take the salute. A brief report of the work of the Police and their dedication to service should be read out by the senior most Police Office. This is a day for reaffirming our dedication to the people of this State. This aspect must be highlighted during the factions arranged during the day. Wherever possible the Flag Day may possible be rounded off with cultural shows etc., which will bring the Police and the public very much closer.

7. After the parade, the Unit Officer should make it a point to speak to the invitees and the retired Police Officer.

8. A fund called as “Karnataka State Ex-Police Officers Welfare Fund” will be created. The resources of the fund will chiefly consist of collections made by sale of small paper flags costing 20 paise on 2nd April each year. It may also be augmented by such contributions as may be made from Karnataka State Police Benevolent Fund and such donations as may be received with the prior sanction of the Government. The fund is proposed to be gradually built up and utilized for the welfare of the retired officials of the Department.

9. It is to be clarified that collection of money is not the aim of introducing the Police Flag Day in the State. It is a day of dedication of service to the People and a help and assistance to the welfare of the retired officials of the department. The help and assistance to the retired Police officers could take the form of securing gainful employment to the retired officers, their sons, daughters and dependents.

10. MANAGEMENT

This Flag day Celebration and operation of the “Karnataka State Ex-Police Officers Welfare Fund” account will be managed by State Committee at the State Headquarters, Bangalore and by District/Unit Committees in the District Units. The members of the committee will consist of the Serving officers as well as retired officers who would like to be associated with the scheme.

11. State Committee.

The State Committee at the State Headquarters will consist of the following members.

i) Inspector General of Police President

ii) Deputy Inspector General of Police H.Qrs Secretary.

iii) Commissioner of Police Member

iv) One Deputy Inspector General of Police the Range Member

v) One retired Police Officer Member

vi) Wife of serving Police Officer Member

vii) Wife of a retired Police Officer Member

12. District Committee.

The District Committee will consist of the following members

i) Superintendent of Police President

ii) One Serving Gazetted Police Officer in the District. Secretary.

iii) One retired Police Officer living in the District. Member

iv) One retired Inspector of Police Member

v) One retired Non-Gazetted Police Officer Member

13. Each year, an amount not exceeding Rs. 16,000/- will be provided from the Karnataka State Police Benevolent Fund for the purpose of organising the Police Flag Day. The amount will be provided by the District/Unit funds on the basis of the Strength of the Police force. Each District/Unit will maintain proper accounts for reflecting the transactions of the “Karnataka State Ex-Police Officers Welfare Fund”.

14. Printing And Supply of Flags

The State Committee will ascertain the requirement of flags for each District/Unit and arrange to print and supply the flags,

15. Sale of Flags & collection of Amounts

The flags will be kept for sale in each Police Station, Sub-Divisional Police Office and District Police Office. The sales should take place on the 2nd day of April each year and not on any other dates. Each Police Station/Office should be supplied with a limited and accounted number of empty ammunition box or any other suitable receptacle, duty printed in white colour and bearing the inscription “Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day” on it in Kannada and English in blue colour. The lid of the box should be provided with a slit for dropping the collections into it. The box should be locked and sealed and the keys should be in the custody of the senior most Police Officer present, who will be personally held responsible for making collections. The District/Unit Officer should render accounts of the collections made in his District/Unit to the State Committee in the proforma appended within one week from the date of observance of the Flag Day.

16. As far as possible Flags should not be kept for sale in Police Out-Posts or Check-Posts. Since the very idea behind the Flag Day is to encourage meeting of the local Police officers with the local residents of the area the sale of flags should be done by the senior officers of the Policed Station going through by the residential areas of their jurisdiction taking to the house-holders and selling a flag at each residence. The sale of flags on the road by stopping cars and lorries and other vehicles invariably results in resentment and complaints on the part of road users. It is therefore, necessary that these sale of flags be done by the officers going with ex-Police Officers going from area to area in their jurisdiction.

17. The Unit Officers should take special interest to organise the “Karnataka Rajya Police Flag Day” in a befitting manner.

18. The receipt of this Standing Order should be acknowledged.

No. 17/KPM/1974-75, Dated: 31-03-1975

|Inspection of Subordinate Offices |

***

The Government, in their D.O. Letter No. GAD 28 IPN 1974, dated 01-10-1974, while pointing out that after the minimum scale of inspections to be undertaken by Officer a different levels in the various Departments of Government was prescribed in the Annexure to the GO No. GAD. 35 OPM 58 dated 001-04-1959, several Departments have expanded and new Officers at divisional and other levels have been opened in certain Departments and in certain cases the scale laid down in the Annexure has been amended by the respective administrative Departments to meet the changed organizational set up and have, therefore, desired that the matter should be examined and a revised scale of inspection drawn up, keeping in view the pattern and the norms indicated below:-

i) All divisional Offices should be inspected by the Heads of Departments concerned once a year invariably.

ii) All district offices should be inspected be inspected by the Divisional Head of Departments once a year invariably.

iii) All sub-divisional offices should be inspected by the district Officers once a year invariably.

iv) All the taluk offices should be inspected by the sub-divisional officers once a year invariably.

v) It should be the responsibility of the Head of the Department to further inspect a fair cross section of the Offices at the District, sub-division and taluk levels so as to have a reasonably well informed impression about the working of the Department. It would not, therefore, suffice if one office at each of these levels is inspected by the head of the Department he will have select a few of these offices at the different levels keeping in view considerations of region and other aspects.

vi) The responsibility of the divisional Heads of Department are similar to those of the Heads of Departments except that their jurisdiction and powers are limited and less. They should, prepare their annual programme of inspections of the Offices at the different subordinate levels.

vii) Similar action will have to be taken by the District and sub-divisional officers of the Departments as indicated at (v) and (vi) above.

viii) It would also be the responsibility of the Head of the Department to ensure that, during a period of say, three or four years, he inspects all the District Offices in the State.

2. Though the scale of inspections already prescribed for the various categories of Officers of this Department in Order No. 604 of the Karnataka Police Manual Vol. I is in accordance with the pattern and the norms indicated in the Government D.O. letter mentioned above, it was however, felt that the table of inspections required a revision in view of some changes effected in the administrative set up of the Department with the creation of new establishments in the Department and these changes are to be incorporated in the table of inspections.

3. Accordingly the scale of inspections of the various subordinate offices of the Department was revised and a table of inspections showing the existing and revised scales has been sent to Government with this office letter No. 17/KPM/1974, dated 02-12-1974 and the approval of Government is awaited.

This amendment comes into force. W.e.f, 01-02-1976.

1. This amendment has been brought into force by the Government. Largely due to the initiative of the Police Department Various studies conducted by Organisation including the India Roads Congress have revealed that a large number of deaths resulted from accidents involving two wheeled vehicles like motor cycles and scooters. The cause of death invariably was due to head injuries. The Police Department took up this issue seriously and Government have now made the wearing of safety helmets compulsory by the rider of motor cycle.

2. Members of the Police Force irrespective of rank will have to observe these Rules scrupulously whether in their official capacity or on personal work.

3. There would be three categories of Police Offices riding two wheelers-

1. Police Officers officially riding motor cycles supplied by the Department.

2. A Police Officer while not on duty, but in mufti, riding in official vehicle given to him by the Department, &

3. A Police official in his private capacity riding his personal vehicle.

5. Before enumerating specific instructions on the wearing of safety helmets by the 3 categories noted above, it may be mentioned that the general public would be very keen to notice the reactions of the members of the Police Force riding two wheelers, whether on duty or not. As an enforcement agency under the law, members of the Police Force cannot escape wearing the safety helmets without public criticism. We have therefore to set an example in this connection and it may be generally said that in all the above 3 categories, the officers riding the two-wheelers shall not ride without a proper safety helmet. Any infraction of the above instructions should be dealt with seriously.

1. Police Officers officially riding Motor Cycles supplied by the Department.

Immediate action should be taken by the Unit Officers who have control over two wheeler vehicles like motor cycles, to equip each such vehicle with safety helmet one to the rider and one to the pillion-rider. These will be purchased from Government funds and become part of the equipment of that motor cycle. Serial number shall be given to the safety helmets as well as the number of the motor cycle. On no account shall any one ride an official motor cycle, without wearing the safety helmet.

2. A Police Officer while not on duty, but in mufti riding an official vehicle given to him by the Department.

In many cities. Police Officers have been issued with motor cycles for their normal duties. Some times while they are dressed in mufti or on off duty, they are liable to using Government motor cycles. In such cases also, the rider and the pillion rider shall wear safety helmets attached to Government Motor Cycles.

3. A Police Official in his private capacity riding his personal vehicle.

In many of the rural areas, the Police Officers of the rank of Sub-Inspectors and above have equipped themselves with motor cycles and scooters out of their personal savings. These are being used by them both for them official work as well as personal journeys. The general Public who have to observe the amended rules are in no mood to make any allowance for a Police Officers going about in a motor cycle or a scooter without a safety helmet which the general public is expected to wear. The general public would therefore criticize the Department and its officials who at any time fail to observe the provisions of the Act. It is therefore ordered that every Police Officers even in his private capacity shall provide himself with a safety helmet while using his vehicle.

6. The following instructions are issued in respect of safety helmets to be used in the Department:-

1) The safety helmet shall be made of fiber glass of the Indian Standard specification with leather strap to be buckled at the chin.

2) The colour of the safety helmet may be of white colour

3) The helmets shall be with visors.

4) Al official motor cycles shall have proper arrangements made for keeping 2 safety helmets with the vehicle.

7) The above instructions will Mutatis Mutandis apply to Pillion Riders.

8) The above instructions will come into force from 01-02-1976. As far as the members of this department are concerned, all unit officers will rake immediate steps to enforce the above orders.

|Employment of Women Police |

***

It has come to my notice that in one of the Police Stations when a Girl was arrested on suspicion in a theft case men PCs were employed to search the person of the suspect and for interrogation, which led to serious allegations against the Police. This is highly irregular; in this connection the following instructions are issued.

2. In Karnataka, Women Police units were set up in 19+60 in Important town Police Stations as part of their normal strength. The strength of the women Police has been progressively increased and has been disbursed over a wide area. In S.O. 520 dated 5th August 1960 the duties on which women Police have to be employed are listed out. Para 12 of S.O., 520 is re-produced below.

3. “The duties on which the Women Police are to be employed shall be as under.

i) Collection of information regarding Women Offenders

ii) Guarding and escorting of Women Prisoners while on Police Custody.

iii) Arrest and Search of Women Offenders.

iv) Questioning and interrogating Women Offenders and Witnesses.

v) Maintenance of Order at places where Women congregate in large numbers eg. At temples, fairs, exhibitions and functions arranged by Ladies Associations, etc.

vi) Guiding Women Passengers at Big Railway Stations and important Bus Stands in Big Cities and Towns.

vii) Rescue of girls who are being used for prostitution or other criminal purposes coming within the ambit of the law.

viii) Prevention of Juvenile Crime.

ix) Rendering of assistance to the Men-Police for enforcing the several Provisions of the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act.

x) Rendering of assistance to the Men-Police while dealing with labour troubles where Women workers are involved.

xi) Operation of Telephones in the Police Stations and Units during emergencies.

xii) Doing Social work among the families of Police-men in the lines.

xiii) Performance of such other duties in which the need for employing women Police is felt’.

4. While the list of duties mentioned in a S.O. 520 is fairly exhaustive, it is once again emphasised that Women Police should be deployed in those fields for which” they are best suited, such as offences involving women in particular and children and young persons in general.

5. Whenever a brothel is raided the Spl. Police Officer entering on the premises will have to remove there-from girls under the age 21 years who are forced to carry on prostitution, and produce them before the appropriate Magistrate. Further he has to conduct the search in the presence of 2 or more respectable inhabitants of the locality. Sub-section (2)of Section 15 of the S.I.T. Act 1956 requires that atleast one of such witnesses should be a women. Once again, the help of women P.Cs. Will be necessary to secure the presence of women panchas. Spl. Police Officers (Dy. SP.) should utilize the services of women Police Constables whenever they raid brothels.

6. Whenever women suspects concerned in crimes are arrested and interrogated the services of women Police Constables and HCs. Should be utilized.

7. Sub-section (3) of section 100 Cr. P.C. 1973 lays-down a mandatory provision, according to which while conducting house searches if the person of a woman is to be searched, such search, shall be made by another woman with strict regard to decency. In such circumstances the Police Officer conducting the search should avail the services of women PCs.

8. It is reiterated, that in any aspect of Police work where women are concerned, the services of women Police should be utilised more and more.

9. These instructions should be strictly adhered to.

STANDING ORDER NO. 660

No. 4/EST-6/1975-76, Dated: 26-04-1975

|Absence of Police personnel – treating of –instructions issued |

***

Rule 107 of K.C.S.Rs. lays down that “Leave cannot be claimed as of right. Discretion is reserved to the authority empowered to grant leave to refuse or revoke leave at any time according to the exigencies of the public service”. This makes it incumbent on the part of every Government Servant to first apply for leave, get it sanctioned and then proceed on leave. This also casts a responsibility on the competent authority to pass order either sanctioning or rejecting the leave and communicating the same to the Government authority to pass order either sanctioning or rejecting the leave and communicating the same to the Government Servant before the date on which he intends proceeding on leave. Instances have come to notice where the competent authorities have not passed orders before the date of a ailment and sanctioned L.W.A with retrospective effect. Many such cases can be prevented by passing timely orders and communicating to the Government servant concerned.

2. According to Note-3 under Rule 114(d) of K.C.S.Rs, “The authority empowered to grant leave has not been given the power to alter the nature of leave” applied for, provided that kind of leave is admissible and the Government Servant concerned can be relieved by making alternate arrangement for disposal of work.

3. Cases of unauthorized absence and overstayal of leave attract the provisions of Rules 106-a and162 of KCSRs. According to which the Government Servant is not entitled to any leave salary and the period is to be debited to leave account as though it were half pay leave to the extent such leave is due and as extraordinary leave to the extent the period of half pay leave at credit falls short of the period of such absence or overstayal, unless leave is sanctioned by the competent authority for such periods and the Government Servant is also liable to disciplinary action for misconduct unless he establishes to the satisfaction of the competent authority that he was unable to perform or join duty for reasons beyond his control.

4. Analogous provisions exist in Order No. 524 of the K.P.M. which states that “Absence of subordinate Police Officers without leave up to 20 days may be by infliction of any punishment referred to in the Disciplinary Proceedings Rules. Leave without pay can be granted for periods of absence without leave, even when leave with pay is admissible and this may be sufficient in ordinary cases”. This does not mean that all cases of absence should be treated as L.W.A.

5. Instances have come to notice where some of the competent authorities are using this power as a matter of routine putting the Police personnel to financial loss and inco0nvenience. Each case has to be decided on its merits & where it is found that the absence or overstayal was beyond the official’s control and unless it is found that the police officer applied for leave to evade work and responsibility, eligible leave applied for should be sanctioned. Government have also observed that the power vested in the competent authorities under Rules 165 (3) to commute retrospectively periods of absence without and used as a weapon to punish the Government employees by granting L.W.A, even in case where sanction of eligible leave is justified and is at their credit & have instructed to follow the rules strictly while using their power in sanctioning leave and use their power properly and to sanction leave strictly in accordance with the instructions issued above.

6. Suitable amendments to Order 524 of the K.P.M. will be issued separately.

Copy of Official Memorandum No. FD 25 SRS 75, dated 31st March 1975 from the Under Secretary to Government, Finance Department, (Services-I) addressed to the Inspector General of Police, Karnataka’ Bangalore.

Misuse of powers by the leave sanctioning authorities in respect of the periods of absence without leave.

According to Rule 107 of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules leave is not to be claimed as of right and discretion is reserved to the authority empowered to grant leave either to refuse of to revoke leave at any time according to the exigencies of the public service. As such it is necessary for every Government servant first to apply for leave and get it sanctioned and then actually proceed on leave.

As per provisions contained in Note 3 below Rule 114 of the said Rules the authority empowered to sanction leave has not been given the power to alter the nature of leave applied for. Hence the Government servant should get the leave of the kind he applies for, provided that kind of leave is due and admissible to him under the Rules to the extent of the period he has applied for and provided further that he can be relieved by the authority to proceed on leave by making an alternate arrangement for disposal of the work.

When a Government servant does not so apply for leave and get it sanctioned before actually proceeding on leave and absents himself from duty or when he overstays the leave sanctioned to him, without applying for further leave, such absence becomes un-authorised absence and attracts the provisions of Rules 106-A and 162 of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules according to which he will not be entitled to any salary for such period of un-authorised absence and that period is to be debited to his leave account as though it were half pay leave to the extent such leave is due and as extra-ordinary leave to the extent such absence unless the leave is granted or extended by the competent authority for the days of such absence; and the Government servant is also liable to disciplinary action for misconduct unless he establishes to the satisfaction of the competent authority that he was unable to join duty for reasons beyond his control.

But, however the authority competent to sanction leave may commute retrospectively the periods of absence without leave into leave without allowance under Rule 165(3) of the said Rules and not into any other kind leave even though it is due to him.

It has been brought to the notice of Government that the authorities empowered to sanction leave use this power as a weapon to punish the Government employees by granting the leave without allowances even though other kinds of leave is at their credit.

Heads of Departments are, therefore, requested to instruct their subordinates in particular to follow the rules strictly while using their power in sanctioning leave and to use their power properly and to sanction leave strictly in accordance to the Rules explained above.

Police Radio Communication System in the State

PART-1

1. Introduction

An efficient communication system is a sine guenon for efficient Police administration. The technological advance in electronics achieved in the West should help us to improve our communication system, built up with limited resources and to make the fullest use of the same.

2. Organisation

On 01-11-1956, at the time of re-organisation of States, we had 39 Radio Stations scattered throughout the State on a three tier hierarchy of.

i) State Radio Headquarters:

ii) District Radio Station; &

ii) Sub-Station under the control of the District Radio Station.

It was felt necessary to extend the Radio communication system to other parts of the State.

In the year 1959, the Government accorded sanction to the re-organisation of the Radio Grid in their Order No. HD 63 EHT 58 dated, 20-03-1959, by which each District Headquarters was provided with a static station linked with the 4 main controls located in the Sate Headquarters at Bangalore. The Superintendent of Police of 15 districts (except Mandya, Chickmagalur, Hassan and Bangalore) were provided with transportable radio stations. Additional transportable radio stations were also provided to the senior Police Officers. In the districts of Karwar, Belgaum, Raichur, Gulbarga and Bidar, 15 Taluka stations were opened making a total of 63 Radio stations in the State. In the year 1968 transportable stations were sanctioned to the districts of Mandya, Chickmagalur, Hassan, Bangalore. A static station to Channapatna in Bangalore District and a transportable station to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, North Eastern Range, Gulbarga were sanctioned in 1969. All the above communication facilities are on the wireless telegraphy system. This communication set up is schematically represented in Appendix-A. For short range local communication, V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) Sets procured in the year 1957 consisting of I Control and 9 Mobil stations were being used fro V.I.P. bundobust duties etc. A full fledged Control Room with a V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) set up was sanctioned for the City of Bangalore with 6 Patrolling Mobiles and 4 Officers’ Mobiles.

This as on date, in short, is the Radio communication system now functioning in the Police Department in the State barring some local adhoc changes and arrangements made from time to time.

3. Existing Wireless Telegraphic Communication System.

i) State Police Radio Headquarters:

The State Radio Headquarters, Bangalore is the centre of the Police Radio Grid. There are 4 Control Stations working on four different channels viz. A, B, C, & D channels which are linked by wireless telegraphic communication system with the Police Radio Sattions located at each District Headquarters and also certain important towns in the State as explained hereunder. Control Station. “A” is linked with the 6 District Headquarters of the Southern Range. Control Staten ‘B’ is linked with the District Headquarters of Central Range and the towns of Danvangere and Tiptur. Control Station ‘C’ is linked with 4 District Headquarters of Northern Range and the towns of Hubli and Bagalkot. Control Station ‘D; is linked with the 4 District Headquarters of North Eastern Range and Hospet Town.

While the Radio stations located within the Range Net work are linked each with the other, messages from a radio station of one Range to a Radio station of another are relayed only through the Control stations at the State Headquarters, as there is no direct contact between stations of different Ranges.

The main function of the 4 Control stations at the State Headquarters is to regulate the smooth and quick clearance of traffic in accordance with the priority and time of receipt of the messages of the Radio Stations.

ii) District Radio Station.

All the District Headquarters (excepting Bangalore District) and certain important towns mentioned in para 3 (i) above have been provided with Radio stations working on wireless telegraphic communication system, linked directly with the respective Control stations at the State Headquarters and other stations within the Range.

iii) District Sub Nets.

In the Northern Range, the District of Belgaum and North Kanara are provided with wireless telegraphic communication facility with certain Taluka Headquarters. Belgum Sub-Control Station is linked with Police Radio stations located at i) Nipani, ii) Chikodi, iii) Bailhongal and iv) Khanapur. The Sub-Control at Karwar in North Kanara District is linked with the Police Radio Station located at i) Supa, ii) Dandeli, iii) Sirsi, iv) Kumta and v) Bhatkal. Similarly, in the North Eastern Range, Sub Nets exist in the Districts of Gulbarga, Raichur and Bidar, with a Sub-Control at Gulbarga linked with police Radio stations at i) Chincholi, ii) Yadgir and iii) Shorapur; a Sub Control at Raichur is linked with the Police Radio Stations at i) Lingsugur and ii) Koppal; and a Sub Control at Bidar linked with the Police Radio station at Humnabed. No. such Sub-controls exist in the Southern Range and Central Range.

iv) Transportable Radio Stations.

Transportable Radio (Wireless Telegraphic) sets have been provided to each of the Superintendents of Police in charge of Districts to enable them to keep in communication with not only their Headquarter stations while on camp but also with other stations in their Districts, if any and stations within the Range, as well as the respective Main Control stations at the State Headquarters, Bangalore. Similar Transportable Radio (Wireless Telegraphic) sets have been provided for the use of i) the Range Deputy Inspectors General of Police to keep in communication with the Radio stations in their Ranges, ii) the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Intelligence, Bangalore and iii) the Inspector General of Police to keep in communication with any of the Radio stations in the State.

v) District Flood (Radio) stations.

The Government have sanctioned at the rate of two Radio stations with a staff of 2 Operators for meeting situations caused due to floods in each of the Districts of Mysore, South Kanara, Bijapur, Belgaum and Shimoga. These are Radio stations normally kept at the District Headquarters. Whenever the Superintendent of Police requires these Radio stations to be installed for such duties, he will provide a suitable vehicle and instruct the Officer in charge of the Police Radio station to install and operate the Radio station from the required location. The Government have also permitted the use of these Flood stations in connection with other Law Order duties when flood work is not there. The Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid by radio message the installation of flood stations for Law & Order duties and obtain his clearance.

4. Working House of the Radio stations.

The Main Controls located in the State Headquarters will work round the clock by having hourly schedules from 0700 hours to 2300 hours. Such working will be continued for the day to clear all messages on hand After clearing the messages, the Control stations will order the District Radio stations, to take hourly calls up to 0700 hours.

PART-II

5. Provision of Communication facilities between District Headquarters and Circle Headquarters and Transportable Stations to Sub Divisional Police Officers Incharge of Sub Divisions.

Recent years have indicated a steady increase in the Law and Order commitments of the Police requiring the calling out of more and more Radio stations for duties. Communication Channels between State Headquarters and the District Headquarters and Sub Units have tended to be heavily loaded resulting in delays in communication. It has become very necessary for vocal direct communication to be established between the various officers of the Districts and their Sub Unit offices. With this primary objective in view, it is now proposed to make it possible for vocal i.e. V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) communication to be set up within the Police Department to enable the Superintendents of Police and Sub Units to be in direct communication with the Circle Headquarters. This Standing Order is now issued to regulate and control the Wireless Telegraphic communication system, the Radio Telephonic communication system and the operation of the Control Stations Control Rooms, Transportable Stations etc. wherever they are established within the State.

6. District V.H.F (Radio Telephonic) System.

The District V.H.F (Radio Telephonic) set up will comprise the Control Station at the District Headquarters and a Station at each of the Sub-Divisional Headquarters and Circle Headquarters. This will provide direct vocal communication between the Unit Heads of the Districts (Superintendents of Police) and the Sub Unit Offices up to the level of Circle Headquarters and the State Headquarters, the wireless telegraphic communication facilities now existing will be retained.

The District V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) links will be provided to all the Districts in the State except the Districts of North Kanara, Chickmagalur, Shimoga nd Coorg. However trials will be conducted in this respect and the V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) System brought into use wherever feasible in these Districts. Pending the conduct of trials there will be H.F (Wireless Telegraphic system of communication at the Sub-Divisional Headquarters Circle Headquarters in these districts.

In addition to the above, the Superintendents of Police and the Sub Divisional Police Officers with independent jurisdiction will also be provided with a Transportable Station to work on the V.H.F system in to Districts where V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) communication system will be introduced and in to 4 Districts where Wireless Telegraphy system is going to be extended, the Sub-Divisional Police Officers will be provided with a Transportable Station on the Wireless Telegraphy system. This communication set up is schematically represented in Appendix B-1 to B-3.

7. The V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) Communication, unlike the H.F (Wireless Telegraphic) communication system is only possible by direct line or sight between the two Radio stations needing communication. To achieve the line of sigh stations at high altitudes without obstructions in between are more advantageously placed. Places having hill features are ideally suited for such communication system In other places’ where there are no hill features, aerial masts of sufficient hight have to be erected. In this State, at present, we are using 4 hill features viz i) Nandi in Kolar District, ii) Jogi Mutt in Chitradurga District, iii) Chamundi in Mysore District and iv) Nrupathuga Betta in Dharwar District. The natural heights of this place provide feasibility of communication to the Circle Headquarters of the surrounding Districts. While it is the ultimate aim to have one Tower in each District so that the stations within the District could be controlled from the District Headquarters; With the availability of only 9 Towers at present, they will be installed at the following places to serve the Circles shown against them.. At the District Headquarters, the Towers can be installed either in the premises of the District Police Office or at the District Armed Reserve Police Headquarters, or at any other place in the City depending upon the technical feasibility.

17. Charge of Radio Equipment.

The Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid should issue the required Radio equipment along with accessories and ancillaries for the Main Controls and the District Radio Stations to the authorised Radio staff. In the case of stations at Sub Divisional offices/Circle Headquarters/Police stations. The Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid should issue the same to the Superintendent of Police of the Districts, who in turn should issue the same to the Circle Inspector concerned on the scale prescribed by the Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid. The Superintendents of Police should make the Circle Inspectors responsible for the proper security and custody of the equipment at the premises where it is installed. The equipment should be handed over and taken over at the time of relief or transfer on a proper charge list as in the case of other Government property.

18 Type of Radio Equipment

There are different type of radio equipment used in Police Radio Grid in the state. The brief particulars of each type of equipment are given below:

1) Wireless Telegraphic System (H.F)

i) BC-191 Transmitter.

This is a Radio apparatus used in Mains operated Radio Stations for sending radio messages. The system adopted on this transmitter is the wireless telegraphy system using the Morse Code as is used by the Telegraph Department. These are used in the Main Controls at the State Headquarters and in the Radio stations at the District Headquarters.

ii) Safi Transreceiver.

This is a set with a lower power than the BC-191 Transmitter, but has a receiver combined in it. The Mains version is used in District controls and Circle Headquarters. Using the wireless telegraphic communication system. The battery operated version is used as a stand-by set in Radio stations to meet exigencies of failure of Mains equipment of failure of Mains supply.

i) HM-30 Transreceiver.

This is a battery operated low power transmitter and receiver. It is used as transportable Radio station or Emergency Radio station.

2. Wireless Telegraphic Cum Radio Telephonic system.

i) SSB-100W

This is a Mains operated Transmitter –cum-Receiver In this equipment we can send and receive messages on the wireless telegraphy method as in the case of BC-191. It is also possible to communicate through Radio Telephony.

ii) Transreceiver GE-524 (SSB 15 W)

This is a handy portable battery operated transmitter and receiver. Being a low power set, it is suitable for short distance communication. In this set, transmission and reception of messages is possible on the wireless telegraphy method, as well as the Radio Telephony method.

3) Radia Telephonic System (V H F)

i) MF – 753

This is a Transreceiver operated on Mains power supply. This is a medium power set meant for static installation at District V.H.F Control stations.

ii) GH – 650

This is a battery operated V.H.F. set, which can work with MF-753, installed in Circle Head quarters Radio Stations and the Transportable Radio stations. As a static at Circle Headquarters, it will be operated with a battery eliminator. As a Transportable station, it will operate with a 12 Volts battery.

iii) GV – 650.

This is a Walkie –Talkie set. It is a low power Transreceiver known as Manpack set. It is can be carried-by hand or on the back easily. This set gives short distance communication up to two miles.

19. Ancillary and Auxiliary Equipment.

To the Radio equipment described above used in Radio Stations, there are ancillary and auxiliary equipment for the operation of Radio stations. They are.

i) Power supply Unit

This unit consists of a device which supples the necessary power required to operate the set. This power supply can be obtained either from batteries or the Mains supply.

ii) Batteries.

For Transportable radio sets or radio stations where mains supply is not available, batteries are used for sullying power to the radio sets. They are also known as accumulators since they are able to accumulate electrical energy in them. These batteries need charging after they are used.

iii) Battery chargers.

To Charge batteries, we need battery chargers which operate either from Mains supply or Generators driven by petrol or Diesel oil.

iv) Antenna

For H.F. Radio stations were aerial of the necessary length need to be installed at proper height to send electrical energy in the form of radio waves and receive energy in the form of radio waves. In the case of V.H.F stations an aerial of rod type is required to be installed at a proper height to enable long distance communication

20. Maintenance and Repairs.

Radio Operators for the regular wireless telegraphy stations are given adequate training on the daily maintenance and first line repairs of all Radio equipment handled by them. In the case of the Radio stations at the Circle Headquarters. Since these stations are operated by the Civil Head constables/Police Constables with limited training in the handling of radio sets, the following procedure should be adopted for the daily maintenance and upkeep of equipment in the radio Station.

i) Once in three days, the Vent Plugs of the batteries should be opened and the level of the acid checked. The acid level should be generally about ¼” above the top of the plates. If the acid level is decreased, only distilled water should be added to the cells till the level is brought up, after which the vent plug should be screwed tightly.

ii) The small pin holes know as the ‘Vent Holes should be kept clean and free of dust.

iii) Battery terminals should be cleaned and treated with Vaseline or petroleum jelly. Grease should not be used.

iv) The battery eliminator should be kept lean by dusting every day. A sort bristled brush should be used to clean the equipment.

v) The fuse holder should be checked for its firm grip. The set or the battery eliminator should not be opened since operators are not trained for their repairs.

vi) Internal repairs of equipment should be carried out only by qualified Radio Technicians, posted in different repair centers.

vii) The earthing wherever provided should be kept by damp pouring water in the pipe provided for the purpose.

21. In the case of defects in equipment which need attention by Radio technicians, the following procedure should be followed.

At present there are four Divisional Radio workshops which undertake repair of equipment. These workshops have technicians trained for the repair of Radio equipment used in the Radio Grid. Whenever any Radio station in the jurisdiction of the Division as shown below needs assistance of mechanical help, the Divisional Supervisor of the Concerned workshops should be intimated by radio or telegram. On receipt of such intimation, the Divisional Supervisor should depute a Radio technician to attend to the defect.

The jurisdiction of each workshop is as follows;

District

Bangalore Divisional Workshop i) Bangalore

ii) Tumkur

iii) Chitradurga

iv) Kolar

v) K.G.F

vi) Shimoga

Mysore Divisional Workshop i) Mysore

ii) Mandya

iii) Coorg

Gulbarga Divisional Workshop i) Gulbarga

ii) Raichur

iii) Bidar

iv) Bellary

As and when District Workshops start functioning, the Officer in charge of the District workshop will attend to the mechanical defects in respect of the Radio stations in the District.

22. Safety Precautions:

Though the V.H.F (Radio Telephonic) Operators viz Civil Head Constables/Police Constables are immediately responsible for the safety and custody of the equipment, it should be the ultimate responsibility of the Circle Inspector to ensure proper safety and security of the radio equipment and records. He should issue suitable instructions to his subordinates and see that these instructions are complied with. He should verify this during his visit to the Radio stations.

The V.H.F. (Radio Telephonic) Operators should particularly note the following instructions regarding the safety measures:

i) Radio equipment is operated from the Mains power supply. The Operator should not forget to switch off the set and the power supply when the working of the Radio station is completed.

ii) The batteries contain sulphuric acid. When this acid is touched or smeared on clothes, it causes burns on the body and damages the clothing. The Operator should see that whenever he touches the battery terminals he washes his hands clean to remove the effect of the acid.

iii) The socket from where the power plug of the power supply is connected is liable to give an eclectic shock if the power terminals are touched by hand. This shock is liable to cause danger to human life. The Operator should take precautions to see that he does not touch the power terminals.

iv) In case of fire, Fire Buckets with sand which are provided at the Radio stations should be used to put out the fire. Where Fire Buckets are not provided, the Circle Inspectors concerned should arrange to provide them.

v) The earthing system should be provided at each Radio station. The earth wire going underground should be surrounded by most soil. For this purpose, the pipe provided should be got regularly watered so that the soil around the earth plate is kept wet to provide adequate protection to the radio equipment and also the personnel operating the equipment in case of lighting and thunderbolts.

23. Duties of Radio Operators.

Transmission and receipt of message in Radio stations should be done according to the instructions laid down. Only certain categories of officers are authorised to originate messages on the Radio Grid. A list of such officers is attached at Appendix-C. Similarly, the subject matter of radio messages which are transmitted on the radio grid is also specified to avoid misuse of radio facilities and congestion of traffic. A list authorised subjects is shown at Appendix-D.

In Order to ensure uniformity in clearance of radio messages a prescribed procedure has been laid down in the matter of Message Writing, Classification of Messages and assignment of Priorities to Messages. The details of the same are shown in Appendix-E.

Under the terms of license issued for operating radio stations only authorised persons can originate messages on subjects permitted in the license. The originating Officers should see that these instructions are complied with and no violations are made. The radio transmissions are monitored and when any irregularities are noticed, they are brought to the notice of the Inspector General of Police for necessary action. As such, no room should be given for any irregularities. All messages should be written in the prescribed form i.e. Form No. 261 or 262. Messages should be clearly written and should be in telegraphic form. Verbose language should be avoided. Addressing superior Officers as Sir Respected Sir’ etc., need not be contained in a radio message. The brevity of the message adds to the efficiency of the system since a shorter time is taken for transmission and reception. Telephonic dictations of messages should be avoided since this requires the radio Operator to leave the radio set which is not permissible under the rules of procedure of the Radio system. In addition, such telephone dictation is also liable to give room for mutilations which should be avoided.

24. Arrangement for Despatch of Radio Messages

The Officer holding charges of the Circle where the Radio station is installed should arrange the despatch of radio messages to the addresses. This work should not be expected of a radio Operator since he should not leave the radio set.

There are several Radio stations working in a group known as Radio Channel. Working of this group is controlled by the Control Station The Prescribed Radio Procedure should be followed by the Control Station in clearing message according to the Rules The Operators should follow strictly the prescribed Radio Procedure and observe strict Channel discipline. The originating officers should not interfere with the working of the Channel and insist on their messages being sent first etc., as this obstructs the smooth working of the channel.

25. Records and Registers to be maintained at radio Stations.

In the case of Wireless Telegraphy Stations, a list of records and registers to be maintained is enumerated in the Karnataka Police Manual Vol. II Page 533-Order No,. 1987. In Circle Headquarters which are operated by personal trained for this purpose, the following records are required to be maintained.

i) Radio Log Form No, 264)

This Log should be maintained in the prescribed manner. The Log sheets should be page numbered and renewed every month. The Radio Log given an account of the happenings on the Radio Channel consisting of transmissions.

i. Office copies of ‘IN and “OUT’ message,

ii. “IN’ Message Register in Form No. 253.

iii. ‘OUT’ Message Register in Form No. 254,

iv. Despatch Register in Form No. 255,

v. History Sheets of Radio equipment in Form No. 258,

vi. Superior Officers Visiting Book in Form No. 77,

vii. Battery Maintenance Log Book in Form No. 257,

viii. Technicians Visiting Book Form No. 278,

ix. Attendance Register in Form No. XIV

The Circle Inspector should see that proper storage facility is provided for the records, as the radio station are confidential in nature.

26. Inspection.

Inspections of the Circle Headquarters Radio stations should be conducted by the Sub Inspector (Technical)/Divisional Workshop Supervisor once in three months. They should send the inspection notes to the Superintendent of Police Radio Grid and the Superintendent of Police of the District promptly for information necessary action. The Superintendent of Police of the District and the Sub-Divisional Police Officer should conduct annual inspection of the Radio station at the time of inspection of the Police Station or the operating staff being under the control of the Superintendent of Police of the District, he should see that the trained operators discharge their duties in the Radio stations punctually and efficiently, thus ensuring the proper working of the Radio stations.

27. Radio License.

Police Radio stations are established after obtaining a license issued by the Wireless Planning and Co-ordination Wing of the Ministry of Communications, Government of India. Therefore, the Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid should arrange to obtain the licenses for all Police Radio stations and issue them to the concerned officers. In the case of Radio stations at Circle Headquarters, these license schedules should be issued to the Superintendent of Police, who in turn should arrange to issue them to the concerned Circle Inspectors. This license schedule should be preserved in the premises where the Police Radio station is located. For this purpose, the schedule should be framed and hung in the premises so that it will be open for Inspection by the inspecting authorities including representatives of the Mainstry of Communications authorise to inspect such licenses. The Superintendent of Police, Radio Grid should arrange renewal of such licenses after paying the prescribed fees to the concerned authorities. Operation of Radio stations without a license is irregular and should be avoided.

2. Normally it will suffice if one copy of the ‘OUT’ message is sent to the Radio Station for transmission. But where messages have to be transmitted to stations covered by more than one channel, an additional copy has to be sent for each channel. For example, if the message is addressed to only one addresse, one copy of the message will be required. For multi-address messages, an additional copy of the message has to be sent for each channel. This method will avoid delay because no time will be wasted in making copies of messages for transmission over the different nets.

3. Messages should b e written legibly, preferably in block letters or typewritten. The standard message form should be used for the purpose.

4. Before accepting a radio message for transmission, the Radio operator should scrutinise its contents and ensure that the details given below are complete:

UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED

It will be the responsibility of the originator to give the correct security classification or grading, consistent with the information contained in the message. Until Cryptography is introduced in Police Radio, only Unclass messages will be accepted for transmission.

ix) Text

As lengthy messages cause delay and congestion of radio traffic. It is essential that brevity with indelibility is observed in originating radio messages. In the case of verbose messages, the Radio station staff is instructed to return them, requesting the originators to make the text more concise. Use of phrases like ‘please’ kindly would be grateful’ etc., should be omitted since omission of such phrases does not imply impoliteness in radio messages. Messages written in tabular form or with mathematical signs will not be accepted because they cannot be transmitted. Only the following punctuation signs should be used:

a) Full stop written within brackets (.)

b) Inverted commas “ ”

c) Hyphen - -

|Allotment of Accommodation to Police Officers of the rank of S.Is and P.Is and equivalent ranks |

|in Bangalore City. |

***

1. Preamble

There are a number of Units of this Department located in Bangalore City. The accommodation facilities provided to the Police Officers in the ranks of Sub-Inspector of Police and equivalent rank in Bangalore City has been none too good in the past as it is also in the case of other ranks.

While we have been making all out efforts for providing accommodation to our Officers in Bangalore City by constructing quarters and acquiring ready built houses under various schemes, yet we have to go a long way achieve our aim of providing 100% accommodation to the staff. While we are in the process of getting more and more quarters, it will be necessary make the best of available quarters with the Department.

Consequent on the establishment of a Corps of Detectives in the State CID., The housing position in Bangalore City become still more acute and the Government, who were approached with the problem, were pleased to accord sanction to acquire 100 ready built house at Kengeri Satellite Town from the Karnataka Housing Board for the COD. Similarly, sanction of Government was also obtained for acquiring 36 tenements at HAL 2nd Stage from the Karnataka Housing Board for the staff of the State Special Branch.

2. House Allotment Committee

In order to regulate the allotment of quarters with a view to making the best use of the available quarters and to ensure that a maximum number of Officers are benefited, a ‘House Allotment Committee’ is constituted, consisting of the following officers.

i) Deputy Inspector General of Police, CID, Bangalore,

ii) Commissioner of Police, Bangalore City,

iii) Deputy Inspector General of Police, Intelligence, Bangalore.

The Committee should draw up its own rules and procedure to be followed in regard to the allotment of quarters. The Committee should also draw up minutes and notes in respect of each meeting.

3. Guide Lines:

The Following guide lines and suggestions may be kept in view by the Committee.

i) All the Government quarters available with the Department in Bangalore City should be categorized as ‘ear marked quarters ‘and’ other quarters’. The ear-marked quarters are those which are situated next to a Police Station, built for the staff of the concerned Police Station. Similarly, the quarters constructed at the CAR. Headquarters are quarters ear-marked for the CAR staff and those constructed at KSRP. Headquarters, for KSRP personnel.

ii) In the present set up, for want of adequate number of quarters, it is possible that some of the Officers would have been in occupation of quarters meant for lower ranks. In view of the paucity of accommodation, such an arrangement could continue.

iii) If a Police Officer occupying quarters is promoted, but wishes to continue to occupy the same quarters instead of moving into the quarters meant for the higher rank, he could be permitted to do so by the Committee, unless the quarters occupied by him is an ear-marked quarters.

iv) In the case of Officers who wish to reside in their own houses or in rented houses, they could be allowed to do so and permitted to draw normal HRA, unless they are required to reside in ear-marked quarters or in quarters nearer to their places of duty, for administrative reasons.

v) While considering allotment of the other quarter’s which are not ear-marked, the Committee should keep in view the requirements of Police Officers working in other branches like Vigilance Commission, CID Forest Bangalore District, IGP’s Office etc.

vi) The Committee may consider giving weightage to the Officers occupying posts which entail frequent transfers.

vii) Whenever a Police Officer is transferred from one unit to another within the City, normally he should not be disturbed from the quarters without consulting the Officers to whose Unit he is transferred, unless the quarter which is required to be vacated is an ear-marked quarters.

viii) Whenever the Committee taken up consideration either allotment of quarters of quarters or vacation of quarters, of Officers working in other branches like SVC, Forest Cell etc., the senior most officer from the concerned branch may also be invited to attend the meeting.

4. Unauthorised occupation.

The Committee should nominate suitable Police Officers not below the rank of Sub-Inspector to conduct checks periodically for detecting and reporting unauthorised occupation of Government quarters if any, and also to ensure that the quarters allotted are used for the bonafide purpose for which they are allotted.

5. Maintenance & up-keep of quarters:

Though the responsibility of the maintenance of the quarters rests on the PWD and though it is also our desire that the Unit Officers should be in close contact with the Officers of the PWD with a view to getting as much of maintenance repairs to our buildings as possible carried out and as quickly as possible. We should also share some of the responsibility for the proper up-keep of the buildings by putting forth our own efforts, however small they may be. The Police Officers occupying quarters should be advised to keep the building and its premises clean to scrape of mass collected on roofs and walls, wash off dirt and stains from painted wood works such as doors and windows, patch up small holes in walls etc. They should be discouraged from rearing cattle fowls, keeping pets like dogs etc, and prevented from growing trees the roots of which can cause damage to the foundation of the building. The occupant of Government quarters should take as much interest in the proper maintenance and up-keep of the quarters allotted to him as he would do in the case of his own private house. The Committee should nominate suitable Police Officers not below the rank of Sub-Inspector for each block or group of quarters to go round the premises periodically with a view to ensuring proper maintenance and up-keep of the buildings. These checking officers should also ensure that the occupants do not keep water and electricity charges in arrears , giving room for disconnection of these services.

6. Register of buildings:

A register called the ‘Register of Buildings of Police Department, has been prescribed by the Government in G.O. No. Uni. 1020-24/P & S. 17-56-2, dated 14-12-1956, This is a very important register which is a record showing the life history of each of the building in possession of the Department. These registers have been supplied to all Unit Officers. The register should be maintained properly and entries are posted up-to-date.

7. General.

The allotment of quarters by the Committee should be so made as to ensure the best use of the available accommodation and to the satisfaction of a maximum number of Officers.

STANDING ORDER NO. 670

No. 7,COMP//1975, Dated: 17-07-1975

|Amendment to Chapter XLIII of the Karnataka Police Manual Vol-II |

***

As an important step in the direction of the Modernisation of Police forces in the Country, the Computerisation of Crime and Criminal Records was conceived by the permanent Committee of DISG, CID 1970 in India. The Committee devised uniform Computer Codes and Card designs to be adopted by the constituent States in India. It is envisaged that the information pertaining to some forty different categories of Crimes which fall not only under major criminals acts, but also under special and local laws and the criminals involved in such crimes should be brought under the purview of Computerisation. But in the State of Karnataka it was though fit to make a beginning by Computerising the information pertaining to property crimes, Viz., the offences that come under Class I to IX of order 1698 of KPM Voi II and the criminals involved in these cases at present, with twin objectives of generating statistical reports for administrative and other purposes on the one hand, to obtain useful and practical advisory memos to aid the IOs in their day to day investigation work on the other hand. Therefore, nine card formats were devised & grouped under six main Computer forms Viz., Computer forms ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘C’ ‘D’ ‘E’ and ‘F’ Form ‘A’ ‘B’ and ‘C’ pertain to crimes where as Forms ‘D’ ‘E’ and ‘F’ are meant for getting information regarding criminals. Standing Order No. 627 dated 24th December 1973 was issued for the purpose of Computerising Crime and Criminal records in respect of crimes reported from 1st January 1974 onwards.

From the careful study of modus operandi classification as given in the All India Computer Codes, with reference to MO classifications given under chapter XLIII (District) Crime Record Bureau), it became obvious that there are some differences between these two types of classifications, i.e., between KPM Vol II and All India Computer Code Book. With a view to reconcile the differences in the MO classifications, the design of M O. Classifications as given in the All India Computers Cods has been adopted with a few more new additions. The Karnataka Police Computer Code Book contains these new additions also.

Under the circumstances, it was thought necessary to rewrite a few orders under chapter. XLIII (District Crime Record Bureau) of KPM Vol. II with necessary modifications Hence this Standing Order has been issued. All the Officers and men in the Department should be thoroughly conversant with this order since, it has direct bearing not only on the maintenance of Criminals records in the DCRBX or CCRS as the case may be, but also on the Computerisation of Crime and Criminal records.

Order 1668 to 1697 under Chapter XLIII of KMP Vol II are retained without changes. Order No. 1703 is also retained without changes Order 1705 to 1722 are also retained without changes only the order 1698, 1699, 1700, 1701, 1702, and 1704 are rewritten with necessary changes and modifications.

Fifteen forms and Registers Viz., forms No. 20, 91, 97, 113, 173, 176, 183, 190, 191, 192, 197, 217, 250, 251 of KMP Vol.III contain column or colums for noting MO classification. Out of these sending of information on forms 173 and 176 has been discontinued as they have been replaced by Computer forms ‘A’ and “C’ as per Standing Order No. 627 dated 24th December 1973, MOB Card also contain provision for nothing MO classifications. In view of the modified MO classifications under this Standing Order, the detailed instructions for filling up MO classifications in these forms and registers are given at the end of this Standing Order.

In Place of Order No. 1698 of KMP Vol.II the following order shall be substituted.

Modus Operandi Index:

1698. I) The cards for this index will be arranged in the order of the different modus operandi classification and other characteristics in drawers assigned to the main heads of crime. The following are the terms used in the MO classifications. MO major, MO minor and MO methods.

i) MO Major:- MO major means offences listed under class I to IX under this order )Property offences). For example, Dacoity is MO major. Similarly murder for Gain, Robbery, Poisoning or Drugging are the MO major classifications under class I offences. House breaking and theft is the MO major under Class II.

ii) MO Minor:-All the MO major heads under Class I to IX have been further sub-divided into MO minor heads, except offences like poisoning and drugging, receiving of stolen property cheating, criminal breach of trust and misappropriation. For example under Dacoity, Political, professional and unclassified are the Minor heads. Similarly under house breaking and theft, by day or by night form the Minor heads.

iii) MO Methods:-MO methods are the methods or means adopted by the criminals for the commission of offence. For example, Bomb throwing is a method Main hole is a method. Bogus visitor as an hawker etc., is a method under various classes offence.

2) The list is made as exhaustive as possible. Some of the items may not apply to all districts and some Districts may need a few additional items. Any addition to the list should be made with the approval of the Deputy Inspector General of Police Criminal Investigation Department. The Station House Officers should note the appropriate classification in the various reports sent by them to the Bureau. The D.C. number of the District in which the criminal resides, the D.C numbers, if any, assigned to him in other districts, his name with aliases his place of residence with the name of the Police Station, the name or names of Police Station limits and districts where the criminal has operated and full modus operandi details will be noted in columns 1-7 respectively in the body of the card.

The card will be in form No. 192. Example:- House Breaking and theft by lock breaking during night is entered as “3102D07”. (31-MO major, 02-MO minor, D07-method).

3) When a criminal commits a crime which falls under more than one head, his name should be entered under each card and the full modus operandi details entered in column 7 of the card. Column 7 is of special significance because in locating a criminal, the apparently minor details of the modus operandi are even more important than the broad classification outlined above. Hence, all details and particulars regarding the method of entry nature of the building attacked nature of weapons employed, kind of property stolen, from of violence used and all criminal characteristics such as eating food at the scene of crime using detonators or crackers and using boulders to break open the door should be noted in detail in column 7. When a crime of any particular modus operandi is reported, the criminals whose names and other particulars are found on the card bearing the index head of that particular modus operandi will be examined besides other Indices and records in order to point out to the Investigating Officer as to who among them, are likely to have committed the offence. In doing this, details of modus operandi, and not merely its broad classification, should receive attention.

If a criminal has more than one physical peculiarity or distinct deformity, then his name should find a place under all those heads. For example, if a criminal has his ears low set, a scar on his left arm and conspicuously high forehead and is bow-legged, his name should find a place in the cards “Ears-low set – “Arm left-marks, moles, scars”, etc, “Forehead conspicuously high”. “legs-bow legged’ and “Scars” A typical list of physical peculiarities and deformities is given below.

v) After the draft bill is prepared the bill Code No. and other particulars such as deductions etc., are changed. This should be corrected at the check list stage itself.

viii) In respect of H.R.A and C.C.A both the Code Nos. are given and H.R.A and C.C.A included in the bill resulting in double claims.

ix) If a loan is sanctioned, no deduction is indicated in the check 1st Stage and correction is given at the last moment before the bill is printed resulting in avoidable delay.

x) Names of persons who are under orders of transfer are deleted from the Unit transferred but not shown in the new Unit to which he is transferred.

6. The aforementioned and similar mistakes involve lot of labour in correcting the mistakes and avoidable delay in printing the pay bills. The main reason behind this stage of affairs is that no scrutiny or check is being exercised at the supervisory level.

7. As already pointed out it is entirely the responsibility of the Drawing Officers for the correctness of the pay bills they draw. While this office can only liaison and render guidance preparing the formats correctly and to get them printed early the responsibility for the accuracy of the claims preferred rest in the Drawing Officers. In future, the Accountant and the Manager of the Unit Office should scrutinise thoroughly the Master formats or monthly changes and satisfy themselves that it is free from mistakes. The Superintendent of Police or the Officer, to whom he has delegated the power to sign the pay bills should certify that the particulars are correct. The formats (fresh or monthly changes) received without the above certificate will not be accepted by the Computer Centre for the purpose of printing the pay bills.

8. After the bills are printed at the Computer Centre the pay bill clerk and the concerned Officials should again go through the pay bills and ensure their accuracy before presenting them to the Treasury.

9. According to the revised programme the printed pay bills are expected to be returned to the Districts by 23rd or 24th and 26th in the case of offices located in Bangalore city. A system of regular communication regarding:

1) Date of arrival of the official with the formats at the Computer Centre – and

2) Date of printing of pay bills at the Computer Centre may be maintained by the Manager, Computer Centre with the District/Unit Officer by means of Radio/Telex messages.

Similarly the District/Unit Officer should send a Radio/Telex Message to the Manager, Computer Centre, confirming the return of the official with printed pay bills on the due date or if he does not return on the due date making enquiries regarding his return under intimation to Chief Office so that there may be close liaison among the Unit Offices. Chief Office and Computer Centre and they may understand the difficulty, if any, encountered and consequent delay in the printing of pay bills. The same equally applies to the Offices situated in Bangalore City.

The aforementioned instructions should be meticulously followed by all the Unit Officers and Officials who are connected with the Computerisation of Pay Bills.

* * * * *

PREAMBLE:

1. The Karnataka Police Motor Transport Oraganisation has received a large number of vehicles of different types in the past few years increasing the strength of the fleet to 1000 vehicles. The process of expansion is likely to continue in the future also, to meet the changing social, political and economic conditions. Due to the liberalized scales of allotment of vehicles, more and more officers are required to hold charge of and supervise the operation of motor transport. As the vehicles are necessarily dispersed in small numbers all over the State, the efficiency of the transport organisation depends primarily on the efficient performance of duties by the officers responsible for motor transport.

2. There is a serious economic situation in the country and the Government of Karnataka have repeatedly emphasized the necessity to avoid unnecessary expenditure. One of the possible causes of avoidable loss to Government is the indifferent use of Motor Transport resulting in expensive and premature over hauls, short life and wastage of vehicles. These can be avoided only by the constant care and supervision exercised by the Officers responsible for Motor Transport.

3. To assist the Inspector General of Police instructive administration of the Police transport system in the State. Government in their order No. HD 37 PEI 72 dated 10/6/75 sanctioned the post of Superintendents of Police for the Police Motor Transport Organisation and have filled up the post in Superintendents of Police, MT will function directly under the Inspector General of Police.
