FOREWORD
The Andhra Pradesh Police Manual in four volumes approved by the
Government on 14th Feb, 2017 enables all the Police Officers to perform their
tasks with clarity and precision. The revision was taken up on the orders of the
Government of AP by Sri S. Umapathi, IPS (Retd.), IGP with the help of Sri
K. Sudhakar, SP (NC) (retired) in a meticulous manner incorporating all the new
Acts, Rules, guidelines, MHA Circulars, Apex Court directions and other
Government orders.
The four volumes for convenience are named as :-
1. AP Police Administrative Manual (Part-I, Vol - I)
2. AP Police Investigation Manual (Part-I, Vol - IIA)
3. AP Police Station House Management Manual (Part-I, Vol - IIB) and
4. AP Police Specialised Units Manual (Part-I, Vol - III)
The thrust has been to ensure proper functioning of all Police Stations,
Circles, Sub-Divisions, Districts, Units and Commissionerates with certain Key
Performance Areas (KPAs) and measurable indicators. Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) in respect of important crimes enables Officers not to miss
any legal step in the investigation of cases for improving our conviction rate.
Detailed Cyber Crime investigation procedures mentioned in the Investigation
Manual is a ready reckoner for all officers which is extremely useful in this
Cyber era. Every SHO should learn the nomenclature and the way to investigate
Cyber Crime, SC/ST Crime, Juvenile Crime and other Specialized Crimes and
the way to process file for payment of victim-witness compensation under
various schemes of the Government for rending speedy Justice.
The Chapter on Police Welfare, new Chapters on Police Computers
and Standardization, Safe City Concept, Road Safety and District Police Office
do spell out the requisite mandate for the officers and staff.
I am sure that the new Manual of 1st Edition will enhance our image
with the desired pro-people, pro-women and pro-children approach in the service
delivery.
Dt : 16.07.2016.
FOREWORD
The AP Police Manual is the main reference book as well as a valuable
guide for all Police officers, for their day to day work. It is a compilation of all
new Acts, recent legislations, amendments, procedures, guide lines and circulars
which are required for proper Justice delivery, for prevention, detection and
investigation of crime, maintenance of public order etc.
The existing Police manual was published in February, 2002 and ever
since, several Cr.PC, IPC, Evidence Act amendments have come into force
including new Acts such as POCSO Act 2012, SC/ST Amendment Act, 2015,
Juvenile Justice (CPC) Act, 2015, amendments to Unlawful Activities (Prevention)
Act in 2014, Information Technology Act, 2008 and plethora of other amendments
came into effect necessitating a revision. Several new technologies, Cyber forensic
laboratories, Cyber Crime investigation tools, social media monitoring tools, etc.,
have become available to the Police Officers. The Police is facing new economic
crimes like multi-level marketing, FICN cases, Organized criminal activities like
Human Trafficking, Drug Trafficking, Cyber Crimes and transnational terrorism.
All this resulted in issuing several orders by the Government and by the Chief
Office from time to time which need to be codified.
The earlier revision of APPM was carried out by Sri. K.Vijaya Rama
Rao, IPS (Retd), former Director CBI, New Delhi, which was a revision of
1912 Madras Police Manual. A need was felt to revise the APPM incorporating
all the new and amended legal provisions, Government of India advisories,
State Government G.Os, Chief Office Circulars, other related Circulars of
Accounts Branch, Chairman SLPRB, etc. The Government of AP accordingly
entrusted the onerous task of revising the Police Manual to an experienced,
law knowing Police Officer Sri S.Umapathi, IPS ( Retd.) former IGP, CID AP.
He redrafted the entire Manual incorporating the latest legislations, Acts,
Circulars, Advisories and Government Orders, new proformas, District profiles
with new chapters like PCS & S, Road Safety, Safe City and District Police
Office. The Cyber Crimes, Standard Operation Procedures on heinous crimes,
relevant Supreme Court Judgments have been put in place for ready reference.
For the convenience of users, the Manual is being published in four volumes viz :
1) The AP Police Administrative Manual dealing with Police Structure,
Administration, key performance areas of Officers, disciplinary matters,
recruitment and training.
2) The AP Police Investigation manual ( Called APPM Part I, Vol -II (A)
elaborates FIR to Charge sheet to Trial Monitoring, including Standard
Operation Procedures.
3) The AP Police Station House Management Manual called APPM Part-
I, Vol-II (B) containing Station House routine, service delivery
etc.
4) The AP Police Specialized Units manual (APPM Part I Vol.III) revised
with four new Chapters.

Crime Records
586-1 Crime records are an integral part procedural law. Records enable Police to
have criminal intelligence system without which no police organisation can
function. Adjudication of crime by courts depends up on records. It is
therefore, necessary that all information relating to all crimes, criminals,
properties and methods of Commission of crime is collected, recorded and
used on a day-to-day basis. The complexities and new forms of crime, coupled
with the advancement in information technology, transport and
communications have given a new dimension to crime prevention and
detection. Effective anti-crime strategy of the police needs up-to-date data
on crime, criminals, crime hot-spots, properties disposed and methods of
recovery. The word properties should be understood in a wider sense not
only to include stolen properties but also immovable properties, articles,
weapons used etc. The crime, criminal information system as evolved by
NCRB/enterpprise/e-COPS of AP State is applied to local conditions and
practices obtaining in the State should be the basis of all records, registers,
and forms to be maintained. The various categories of police stations are the
points where the information for the records system is generated. They are
also the end users of the system. The SHOs of all categories of police
stations have to be thorough with the system so as to derive fullest benefit.
2. Crime Criminal Tracking Network (CCTN) will be replacing enterprise e-
COPS which aims at data mining and data retrieval across the country of all
information regarding all crimes, criminals, gangs, properties recovered,
methods employed, disposals etc. to enable the police to prevent and detect
offences and bring offenders to justice. It is particularly necessary in respect
of the persons who have a tendency to repeat the same crime or some other
crime. The system in its operation acts as a deterrence to potential and
existing criminals from leading a life of crime. It helps in keeping a track of
criminals as also to know the antecedents of persons. It is, if properly
maintained, a useful and necessary tool as effective as any direct tools such
as science and technology.
3. The criminal records indicated in this Chapter are to be maintained by all
police stations.
4. From the National Crime Code book AP Police Intranet has adopted Integrated
Investigation Forms 1 to 7 which constitute the basis for maintenance of
1277

entered in this register, in the order of their occurrence chronologically, in
the following manner.

thorough, impartial and not influenced by any extraneous factors. A person
who is making efforts to lead an honest life and break from the past should
be helped to remain so. The police should handle this carefully in such a

discontinuance or retention for a further period shall be obtained.
2. Merely because a suspect/rowdy, having a history sheet, is not figuring as

1307
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
604-1. The following general instructions are issued for the guidance of all officers
in regard to the classification of criminals into casuals and professionals.
2. A professional criminal is one who has chosen crime as his profession, whereas
a casual offender may be defined as one who has committed a crime more
or less by accident and not by design. But it is possible that a casual offender
may, by the force of circumstances repeat the crime and turn it into a
profession. The nature of the crime will often indicate whether the person
who committed it is a professional or a casual. For example, a burglar, pick-
pocket or a cheat can safely be treated as a professional, whatever be the
circumstances and conditions under which he operated. Also, every person,
who has committed more than one crime for gain, should normally be
classified as a professional, irrespective of the nature of the crimes committed
by him. Again, when a series of similar or approximately similar offences
occur in an area, it should be evident that one or more criminals have taken
to that type of crime for livelihood. When a first offender belongs to a family
or a group with a criminal history or is known to be the member of a criminal
gang or organised crime syndicate or associate of a habitual criminal, he
should be treated as a professional.
3. But, property offences committed as the result of a land dispute or family
quarrel do not become professional cases merely because they were repeated
or because they satisfy the definition of house breaking in the Penal Code or
because the persons who committed them are members of a criminal group,
gang or a family. Petty thefts of garden produce, avenue trees and the like
committed by first offenders may also be safely treated as casual. But, a
receiver should be classified as professional, irrespective of the property
received by him, because a man, who stoops to receive a petty article knowing
it to be stolen, will certainly buy valuable things too, if they are offered to
him for sale by a criminal.
1308
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
605-1. When a person whose name is entered in General Conviction Register (Part
III) moves or changes his place of residence to the limits of another police
station, the fact shall be communicated to that station by means of a Bad
Character Roll Form A for entry in the register of that station. The roll will
G.O. Ms.
be returned with the page number of the register, on which the entry has
109 Home, been made, noted thereon. This page number will be noted in column 3 of
Dt: the Station register. The transfer of information to the concerned police
10-1-1948
should be prompt and authentic. The fastest method of means of
communication available should be used preferably the fax mode of
communication. The acknowledgement should be insisted upon. This work
needs personal pursuit by the SHO. It should be remembered that if conviction
particulars are not recorded at the right place, the entire crime data system
in the area and all over the country will be distorted.
2. It is not necessary that Bad Character Roll Form A should be used for the
communication of conviction particulars or for the transfer of History Sheets.
These can be done through a memorandum in Form 28. It is likewise
unnecessary to send Bad Character Rolls with History Sheets submitted to
superior officers for orders regarding their retention or closure. Orders should
be obtained on the History Sheets themselves.
3. If any criminal of other PS limits comes to a particular PS it should be
intimated through Bad Character Roll B to the PS concerned.

CHAPTER 34
Police Station - Functions and Management
611-1. There are eight categories of police stations, as given below, notified by the
Government under section 2(s) of Cr. PC. Such a notification confers certain
powers and responsibilities on the police in respect of the notified area. CID
is declared as a Police Station.
1-A Police stations are classified as A,B,C,D,E,F, (vide Memo Rc. No. 83/PL)
G.O. Ms. No. 281 Home (SER-III) Dept., dated: 20.11.2007 of Govt. of AP
2. All the Police Stations are responsible for all the police functions. Except in
municipal towns the police stations established in all parts of the State carry
out all the police functions including law and order, crime detection and
investigation. But in some municipal areas and metropolitan cities separate
police stations are established for law and order and crime investigation, and
therefore, each police station will carry out their respective functions allotted
to them. Likewise women police stations have specific functions given to
them.
1331
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
3. The law and order police stations referred in PSO 611-1-A are classified
into three types depending on the areas in which they are located.
A. City Police Stations
B. Town Police Stations
C. Rural Police Stations
4. These police stations are normally provided with about 75, 45, and 20 police
officers of all ranks respectively.
5. Police out posts with a strength of about 8 police officers are established at
certain locations to ensure police presence, easy accessibility to public, and
to deal with the trouble in the area quickly. Armed out posts or check posts
of varying strength are set up to meet certain situations. The out posts or
check posts are attached either to local Police Station or traffic Police Station.
6. The detective police stations are established in all grade “A” municipal towns
including metropolitan cities. They have powers and responsibilities of a
police station and are specially meant for detection and investigation of crimes
other than offences relating to law and order.
7. In “A” grade municipalities and in metropolitan cities separate law and order
Police Stations are established to deal with the cases of law and order,
maintenance of peace, detection and investigation of offences arising out of
law and order.
8. In all District Head Quarters and in all metropolitan cities, Central Crime
Stations are established to deal with important and sensational crimes. It is a
wing of the district police in the districts and a wing of Commissionerates in
cities.
9. Traffic police stations are established in all important towns taking the traffic
needs and population into consideration. This wing functions under the district
police.
10. In view of the increase in the incidence of crime and accidents on the
Highways, Highway crime controlling police stations are being established
with all necessary infrastructure facilities for prevention and detection of
accidents and crimes on the Highways. A separate scheme is being prepared
for organising this wing.
1332
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
11. Railway Police Stations have jurisdiction over railway premises and railway
lines including running trains comprising of certain districts in continuity. Their
functions are detailed in the Chapter “Railway Police”.
12. In all important towns and in all places of need, women police stations are
established in addition to law and order and detective police stations to
investigate cases of harassment and cruelty against women. These police
stations also provide women police officers in cases of searches of places
and persons of women and to escort women prisoners. The other police
stations can also take the assistance of these women police officers when
women police are not provided to those police stations while above duties
are carried out.
13. All these specified police stations carry out their specific functions for
administrative convenience but all police stations are vested with all the
functions of police. Therefore, all police stations irrespective of jurisdiction
shall not refuse to entertain any cognizable complaint. They shall register
forthwith and transfer the same to the concerned police stations. Refusal to
register a cognizable case shall be treated as a criminal misconduct on the
part of that police station SHO and refusal to register crime u/s – 326A,
326B, 354, 354 B, 370, 370 A, 376, 376 A to E and 509 IPC constitute a
Criminal offence where the concerned are liable for criminal action u/s 166
A IPC with imprisonment for not less than six months which may extend to
2 years. SHO, irrespective of Jurisdiction, is mandated to register case,
investigate and transfer to Jurisdictional Police station.
14. SHO shall take action against Hospital management (Private / Public, Central/
State Govt.,) u/s 166 B IPC for failure to treat victims of offences u/s 326 A,
376, 376 A to E IPC which are mandated u/s 357 C Cr.PC.
15(1).Duties of Coastal Security Police Stations:

a view to enforcing the Special and Local Laws including the provisions of
IPC as per the provisions of Cr PC, 1973 and providing a sense of security

of work for that day. Every member of staff of the PS should so regulate
their duties that they attend parades regularly.
3. All the staff including the station writers, except those who are given a day
or 24 hours off as prescribed or who were on night beat or patrol duty the
previous night, shall be required to attend the above schedule.
Allocation of Duties :
617-1. Duty shifts to be adopted in Police Stations shall be either of the two models
given below: I II
First shift 0800-1400 hours 0700-1300
Second shift 1400-2200 hours 1300-2100
Third shift 2200-0800 hours 2100-0700
General shift 0800-1600 hours 0700-1500
The first model is recommended for all City and Town Police Stations and
the second for all Rural and Semi-Urban Police Stations. The SP may adopt
1340
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
model II for all Town Police Stations also in the district and model I for all
Rural and Town Police Stations. But adopting model I for some Town PSs
and some Rural Police Stations or model II for some Rural Police Stations
and some Town Police Stations in the same district is forbidden.
2. These working hours are intended for the personnel during normal days in
the police station headquarters, but not to those who go out of headquarters
on beat or other duties.
3. The general shift from 0800 hrs to 1600 hrs is applicable for the staff with
fixed day duties like the Station Writer and others on general duty. They
should be given weekly off for a day. They can be utilised for any emergency
duty during the night or day. The Police Officers earmarked for beat can be
utilised for duties connected with breach of peace or other situations anywhere
in the Police Station area if such deployment is justified and called for with
the permission of the Sub-Divisional Police Officer or ACP. Under no
circumstances they should be withdrawn from the beat for more than 10
working days in a month. Even while making arrangements for peace and
order duties of a widespread nature within the Police Station limits, they
should be deployed as far as possible in their beat areas which will not count
as withdrawal from the assigned beat.
4. There may be contingencies when there is need for night patrolling on almost
all nights in all the beat areas whether in a rural police station or a town
police station or an outpost. In such contingencies where night patrolling is
needed for long duration, the following table may be adopted after dividing
the entire strength into three sections. Even in such contingencies the
constables earmarked for the beat should be sent on night patrolling in their
beats only along with the other personnel. This ensures maximum availability
of manpower without disturbing the hours of duty or need for emergency
mobilisation. It is only once every fourth day that there may be shortage to
send night patrolling in all the beats but mobile patrolling and home guards
would be available for such contingencies and they should be used so that
there will not be any disruption in the patrolling to be organised every night.

Note:- The hours of duty as given in Order 617-1 above may also be adopted at the
discretion of the Superintendent of Police/Commissioner of Police.
Off Duty :
5. Police Constables and other Police Officers should have a clear day off
once a week. The SHO will announce every evening, when duties for the
next day are detailed as to who will be off duty the next day. The day off
need not necessarily be a calendar day. But it is necessary that each officer
is allowed a clear and continuous 24 hours off.
6. No officer who is off duty shall leave the headquarters without prior
permission. He should leave information in his residence or with neighbour
or the nearest police station as to his whereabouts if he leaves his residence
and proceeds to any place within the village or town/city.
7. On certain occasions weekly off may not be given or normal spell of 8 hours
G.O. Ms. a day may exceed. In emergencies or due to exigencies of situation the
No. 187
(Fin.) dt. personnel may have to be kept mobilized in a Police Station or at any other
29.6.79. place. To cover all such contingencies compensation as admissible to all
ranks up to Sub Inspector of Police may be made. This does not mean that
the police personnel are kept mobilized or utilized for extra hours and not
given weekly off on some ground or the other.
8. The legal obligation of 24 hours deemed to be on duty should not be interpreted
to mean that every police person can be on duty indefinitely for days together
for any length of time. The following guidelines should be borne in mind on
this subject.
A. Police as a body are on duty all the time;
B. A Police Officer who is off duty has certain obligations as set out in
Chapter 6;
C. All Police Officers are obliged to forego weekly off and work longer
than 8 hours when there is a serious emergency. For example if, an
officer leaves a task on hand abruptly at the end of 8 hours shift, it
will result in serious prejudice to a case or injury to persons or
disappearance of evidence, continuation of disorder etc.;
D. All police work deals with emergencies in a way. Hence normal
duties should not be interpreted as emergencies warranting
mobilization;

should also be conducted by the centre every year.
Annual Renewal of Ammunition
5. The police stations should be supplied by the district reserve police
headquarters with fresh stock of ammunition whenever received withdrawing
the old stock for practice. This should be done in a systematic manner without
fail. The SHO and the SDPO concerned should contact the SP/Addl. SP in

required stock of the latest issue of service ammunition.
1348
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
6. Badges for good shooting shall be awarded to the Head Constable and
Constables as follows on the completion of the annual individual practices.
7. Silver badges to those who score 70 or more points out of 100 and silk
badges to those who score 60 to 69 points. A gold badge will be given to the

10. Proficiency in the weapon and specialisation is a necessary professional
accomplishment. The SHO should, during the drill and weapon training classes,
make it a point to see that the weapons are handled with skill by the men so
that there is both restraint and effectiveness when called for.
621-1-A.Several skills and abilities are required for police to perform their duties
in a professional manner. The personnel in the police department do have
these in varying degrees spread over in a district and State and within a
police station. In the rustle and tumble of day-to-day requirements the police
officers tend to ignore or do not think of utilising these skills to the best
advantage. Apart from utilisation, the development of skills enriches the
resources of an organisation from PS level to the State level. Each type of
police station require certain type of general skills/ specialized skills. Some
skills are useful at all police stations. It may become necessary to pool
resources and skill to handle important situations or cases in the district.
1349
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
B. The SHO should personally assess each Constable, Head Constable, ASI
and ascertain by talking to him the special skills ( like crime prevention/
detection, handling L&O problems, interrogation/ photography/ videography,
computer data entry ) each one possesses and make a note of the same.
D. The SDPO concerned in respect of all SIs and Inspectors working in his
area or under his charge take similar action and send the information through
Addl. SP to SP who will arrange to have the entries made in the service
record under a column “special qualifications” to be set apart for this. The
IGP Personnel in DGP’s office should ensure that this data gets into the
personal records of officers of all ranks.
E. The level of skills should be graded as very good or good only right from the
level of constable upwards. There is no need to make any entry where
special skills are not existing. The normal police capabilities need not be
mentioned.
2. The skills, which should find mention, are those, which are useful in practical
police work like preventive action, investigation, maintenance of order etc.
or support functions. Some of the special skills which are useful for a police
officer are;
a. Interrogation of suspects or accused
b. Intelligence gathering - criminal or other forms.
c. Anti terror operations, ambush / counter ambush
d. VIP Security duties / Anti-sabotage/Anti-Espionage.
e. Report writing and entries in records using computers
f. Computer hardware maintenance and care / e-COPS
g. Short hand or typewriting / Computer data entry
h. Cartography / portrait Building system Observation
i. Crowd dispersal techniques.
j. Photo and videography / sketch drawing.

APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
4. Senior officers should be aware of the special skills possessed by the police
personnel and utilise them accordingly besides making efforts for enhancement
of these skills. Following methods could do this.
A. Utilise them on duties when the skills in which they possess help
police investigations or other work in addition to whatever is normally
allotted to them.
B. Depute them to teach or demonstrate the skills to others in the Unit
during weekly training or on-the-job courses.
C. Provide necessary literature and depute for specialised training when
arranged or available.
D. Where eligible recommend for the special allowance to the concerned.
The eligibility criteria for allowance should be as prescribed.
E. Depute the personnel when requisitioned in the district, State or
anywhere in the country where their services would be useful for
any special tasks. All additional skills and further improvement /
enhancement should be noted in the service record of the concerned
personnel annually.
F. Besides the above, helping in self-improvement of police officers is
an important aspect which should receive attention of SHO and senior
supervisory officers. The distance education packages, on-job training
courses should be given priority without affecting normal duties. The
permission to appear for the examinations must be given and the
personnel relieved in such a manner that they are able to reach the
place of examination at least one day before the date of the
examination. IGP Training gives the examination schedules for various
courses. Qualification in prescribed in-service courses is compulsory
for promotions, hence wherever a prescribed course is organised
those nominated must be sent. This procedure applies to officers of
the rank of SIs, Inspectors and DSsP. It shall be the responsibility of
SP/CP to ensure their relief and give effect to all other facilities for
training in self-improvement without prejudice to their normal duties.
All enhancement of skills and self-improvement are intended to bring
qualitative improvement in police work and as such the skills have to
be enhanced as part of normal work and police officers should be
encouraged for self-improvement.
1352
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
622-1. Shramdan / Swatch Bharat consists of cleaning and keeping in order the
police grounds, the police station/OP and its premises, and the police quarters,
white-washing of police lines and minor repairs to the station house and
police quarters, keeping the firing range if any, in order, and maintaining the
orderliness and cleanness of the premises.
2. Where it is possible, white washing of the lines should be performed by the
occupants. Where it is not possible, in the opinion of the SP/CP, annual
white-washing can be included in the annual work to be done by Police
Housing Corporation. The Municipal Corporations, Municipalities and Major
Panchayats, the Zilla Parishads in respect of other Panchayats normally
provide all amenities to the Police Station and quarters and also extend support
to undertake minor repairs or white washing of PS buildings or provision of
facilities to the public like drinking water, toilets and also their maintenance.
Public Relations:
623-1. Every police officer working in any police station is the best PRO for the
department. There is no substitute for proper public relations other than
professionalism, integrity, impartiality, desire to serve and dedication to
assigned duties. It is such performance and conduct that earns the confidence
and respect of the public and credibility to the police. Even one bad instance
of misconduct or rude behaviour of one officer is likely to result in painting
everyone else with the same brush. It is difficult to obliterate that impression
for quite a long time. The first step therefore, in public relations is that every
police officer from Constable, upwards should work and conduct himself
with responsibility, civility and courtesy whether in word or deed.
2. Patient listening : Patient hearing of people who come to police station in
distress by all ranks is necessary. The telephones must be answered promptly
and politely.
3. Proper Reception : A reception area within available means should be provided
for people to wait, so that each one can be individually attended to. It is
better that groups of people are met first and disposed off by the SHO
himself coming out and talking to them. Where there is rush of complaints
the SHO should detail officers available, to deal with each complainant
simultaneously so that suitable disposals can be given. No impatience or
haste should be shown. The person must not only be heard, but must get a
1353
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
feeling that he is heard and prompt steps if any for redressal of grievance
are being taken. Never dispose off any one by merely saying that the matter
will be looked into. Inform what you propose to do at once or soon later. If
police are not the proper authority, help him to approach the concerned.
4. Prompt Registration of cases: When a cognizable case is reported register it
promptly and initiate action ( refer Lalith Kumari Vs State of UP ). Keep in
touch with the complainant/victim or his close relatives and inform action
being taken either by telephone or by other means or even by utilising the
services of beat area Constables. In their anxiety the complainants do visit
the police station themselves and in which case, receive them and inform
them the action being taken. The IO should inform about recoveries, arrests,
charge sheets and other important details to the complainant from time to
time. The complainant/victim should be taken into confidence even for the
purpose of investigation. Stay sufficiently long at the scene until all clues are
collected and witnesses are examined. Discuss doubts and clarify all points
with him. Where the complainant is a litigant or apparently pursuing a false
case, misusing the legal process, do not disclose your mind or conclusions
but listen patiently. The nature of response to complainant depends on the
nature of the case. In thefts, burglaries, dacoits, murders, cheating, hurt
cases immediate steps give confidence and ensure better help from
complainant in the investigation of the case. Precautions are to be taken not
to give a false hope or cynical or unhelpful remarks. Never give a list of
your difficulties and handicaps or discuss about other officers or staff of the
police station. Give confidence to a genuine complainant and be guarded,
polite, but firm, in respect of false complainants.
5. Media briefing where necessary. When a sensational or an important case
occurs it may be necessary to give prepared statement to the media on the
facts of the case and progress if any. Details, which prejudice investigation
or give clues to absconding accused, statements of witnesses or suspects
should not be disclosed, but broad picture of the case and the efforts of the
police should be given. Such developments as arrests, recoveries should be
informed to them. It is better the SDPO/SP handle the media in grave crimes
personally. The SHO of L&O police station and the Detective Police Station
should follow these guidelines.
6. Confidentiality of source of information : Take the press and media into
confidence when handling a sensitive case. Sometimes they would be helpful
in the investigation by proper publicity particularly in the matter of absconding
1354
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1355
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
public to meet the Police Officers and voice their grievances, if any. This
will also enable the Police to sensitise the public on various issues and seek
their co-operation in prevention of crime and maintenance of law and order.
Thus it will be obligatory on the part of SHO to visit town / village in his
jurisdiction along with his staff after giving advance publicity through Village
Panchayat or Village Secretary and press. The senior officers should also
make it a point to attend such meetings wherever possible.
12. Close touch with schools and youth organization : Maintain close touch with
the schools and youth organisations to enlist their support, involvement and
understanding of police problems, mainly in areas of traffic regulation, injured
persons, forming up of queues, conduct of sports and cultural events.
Occasional classes and printed material to help understand basic law would
be very rewarding exercise. These should be a part of systematic programme
and not to be treated as formalities like occasional rallies or festivals.
Supreme Court of India in SLP (Civil) No. 24295/2004, in University of
Kerala petitioners (s) Vs Counsel Principals colleges, Kerala and others.
In its order dated: 16.05.2008, elaborated measures to be taken by Police:
(Refer PSO No. 723)
13. Every Constable and police officer must avoid any rude behaviour at all
costs. There is no place for rudeness in police work. There is only firmness
for an offender and courtesy for the law-abiding citizen.
14. Never employ third degree methods. Respect and uphold human rights in
handling cases.
15. Show utmost consideration to children, women, old persons, poor people,
weaker sections and those who come for protection and help.
16. Ensure to hand over recovered stolen property to the complainant through
Court and the complainant should not make to run around the police station
and the court unnecessarily.
17. Do not allow touts and brokers around the police station. Touts and brokers
spoil reputation of the officers.
18. Do not allow any outsider to do police work like filling up records or typing
etc. If any temporary person is to be employed on a contract basis it should
be under relevant rules and proper authority.
19. Give information promptly of all good work done even if the media is not
aware of it. Project the officers who did the work.
1356
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
20. Eve-teasing and activities of local goondas badly reflect on police. Always
take tough action under the law to bind them over or punish suitably. The
action should be swift and effective.
21. Prompt punishment of offenders in cases improves confidence and brings
more co-operation from the public. Pursue cases vigorously.
22. Follow the rules of conduct in Chapter 6 scrupulously to avoid complaints of
non-registration of cases, rude behaviour and lack of integrity.
Care and custody of Arms and Ammunition :
624-1. The SHO and in his absence the officer in charge of the police station will
be in charge of the arms and ammunition in the police station. The arms in
the police station shall be kept secured in an arms rack by means of a chain
fastened with a lock. The ammunition shall always be kept in a locked box.
The Station Writer when present in the station or, in his absence, the guard
officer shall keep the keys of the rack and ammunition box in his custody.
The Station Writer or the guard officer shall, when taking charge of the
keys, check, the arms and ammunition and satisfy himself as to their
correctness. An entry to this effect will be made in the general diary both by
the officer handing over the keys and by the one receiving them. The officer
in-charge of the station for the time being shall also check the arms and
ammunition whenever he takes charge of the station general diary and satisfy
himself that they are correct.
2. An arms register should be maintained in the police station, noting there in
the number and name of the Constable or Head Constable or officer to
whom, each weapon is issued and obtain his signature against the entry. The
officer to whom the weapon is allotted shall be responsible for its upkeep
and cleaning etc. He should use the weapon allotted to him for the annual
practice or wherever it is to be carried in the performance of his duty.
3. In extremist affected areas, all the members of the station guard should
always carry rifles and sufficient ammunition with them specially in the night.
Cash chests of other departments :
625-1. The Cash boxes or chests of any Government department, local body, and
G.Os 1679,

accepting any such boxes should cross check with the head of the Institution
concerned on telephone if the officer himself has not personally come with
the boxes. As most of the banks have their own cash chests and have their

647. Police Constables and Head Constables who turn out for dealing with crowds,
bandobust duty, patrols in beat areas (when rifles are not taken), and on any

Necessity of prompt dissemination of information
650-1. Intelligence is the most basic and necessary input for police work. Timely
intelligence and information can help in the prevention, detection of offences
and maintenance of peace and order. Prompt actionable intelligence is
necessary to take preventive steps in avoiding commission of offences, to
put down terrorist violence, communal or caste troubles or to apprehend
absconding offenders. It should, therefore, be promptly gathered, documented,
analysed communicated and used in time.

2. The beat Constables and other police officers in the station are responsible
to gather correct information by intelligence and pass it on to the SHO from
time to time relating to movement of prisoners or suspicious character or
relating to any other criminal activity in the locality. The SHO on verification
of information should send a consolidated report on day-to-day basis and
send to the DCRB directly by Fax or Radio marking a copy to his superiors.
1384
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
651-1. In every case of crime against property, a crime card in Form 108 shall be
sent by the Station House Officer of L&O Police and Detective Police
Station to the District Crime Records Bureau. For the crime details Form
No. 128-A may be used instead of the crime card. Such forms should also
be sent to the Sub-Divisional Police Officer and to the neighbouring police
stations and DPS/CCS in the district, as also to the bordering stations of
adjoining districts and railway police stations. If the offenders are from outside,
prompt information should also be sent by wireless, fax or telephone, to the
neighbouring police stations and railway police stations. Station House
Officers who receive the information, whether by crime card, radio or wire,
or telephone will immediately institute the necessary enquiries and with the
least delay, report the result by radio or telephone, fax or memorandum to
the station from which the information was sent. These replies will be filed
with the concerned case diary file Part I.
2. Crime cards or radio, fax messages received in a station from other stations
shall be retained for two years.
3. The intelligence about the presence of criminals or gangs with their cell
phone numbers or activity, which suggests commission of a crime with details
available, should be promptly reported on the same day to the DCRB as part
of the daily report of crime and information. In urgent cases the information
should be communicated to the concerned as indicated above. The Inspector
in charge of the detective police station / CCS has a specific responsibility
of communicating and acting upon such intelligence and information. He
should track the cell phone numbers and apperhend the accused.
Publication in the Criminal Intelligence Gazette (CIG)
652-1. The weekly crime and occurrence sheet of every CCS and DCRB is
circulated to all Police Stations in its jurisdiction and to the neighbouring
Police Stations as well. This contains inter alia (a) Notices of property stolen;
(b) persons who are out of view; (c) persons who have to be arrested; (d)
known depredators who have dispersed and are out of view and intelligence
regarding movement of signals or criminal activity noticed during the week.
Full use therefore, shall be made of this media for dissemination of the above
information. If it is intended that wider publicity beyond the district or
neighbouring stations is required, the matter may be sent in the prescribed
proforma for publication in the Criminal Intelligence Gazette.
1385
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1386
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
in the Police Station, DPS, Traffic, Railway and Women Police Stations, so
that when situation arises the police are able to effectively intervene and
close all options of escape to the fleeing criminal.
655- Communication of Information to be need based after proper assessment :
1. The prescribed format should be used for communication of all information
and intelligence even if it is by telephone and record kept of information
circulated. Unplanned and blind dissemination of information without proper
assessment and need leads to flooding every Police Station with all kinds of
information, resulting in loss of focus and priority. The orders and guidelines
issued herein, therefore, should be read in that spirit. For example, if a murder
case accused is known and his specific hide outs are also known to the
Station House Officer or DPS or CCS they should proceed at once, take
assistance from the concerned for his apprehension carrying all details and
letters with them needed for securing help. There would be no purpose in
such a case, to send out any lookout notice all round either by radio or fax
etc. In the same case if accused is known but no specific information about
his whereabouts are available but there is a probability of his being available
in a particular area of a PS in this State or outside information and all details
as prescribed should be sent to that concerned Police Station and officers. If
he has disappeared with no clues whatever then the question of general
broadcast or sending out all information to various authorities arises.
2. Collection, recording, reporting and dissemination of criminal intelligence is
not for its own sake. Its objective is to operationalise specific procedure
relevant to each case. The responsibility of supervision rests with SDPOs
and SsP/CsP to ensure compliance and give a proper direction.
Special Reports :
656. The substance of special reports sent on investigation of cases including
progress reports if any may be embodied in the case diary and the reports
shall be attached to the copy of the case diary which is sent to Sub-Divisional
Police Officer. The report of IO sent on the completion of investigation may
also be attached to part I of the case diary.
Deployment men in plain clothes :
657. Personnel of the district, city or railway police deputed to look out for bad
characters at large and busy railway stations, may, at the discretion of the
Superintendent of Police/DCP be allowed to wear civilian clothes. For
surveillance and shadowing duties, trained personnel in appropriate civilian
clothing may be deployed.

CHAPTER 35
Beats and Patrols in Rural Areas
658 - Prevention and Detection – Primary Functions of Police :
The principal functions of the police are the prevention, detection of crime
and bring offenders to justice. Preventive work must receive higher priority
than other police work. Sec.149 Cr.PC mandates that every police officer
may interpose for the purpose of preventing and shall to the best of his
ability to prevent the commission of any cognizable offence. Therefore,
intimate knowledge of people and the conditions prevailing in the jurisdiction,
the willing involvement and co-operation of all sections of the local community,
knowledge about the nature of crimes and the movements, activities and
statements of criminals of various categories are conditions precedent to the
successful prevention of crime, ( property crime / white collar crime /organized
crime etc.). To gain such knowledge, and build co-operation of the people,
an efficient beat system is vital. Patrolling and beat system is the primary
function of the Police.
Meaning and objectives of Beats.
659-1. Beat means a segment or part of the jurisdiction of a Police Station consisting
of a village or group of villages or a locality in a town/city. Each beat is
serially numbered in a police station. Beat service means performance of
any of the functions and responsibilities of the police officer assigned to the
beat, in that beat area. The mobile patrolling vehicles and also blue colts are
to be tasked with specific charter of duties in crime prevention. The beat
police personnel should be in touch wiht the “Community Protection Officers”
who are part of community policing.
2. The objectives of beat are : -
A. To provide police services within easy reach of the community
B. To watch KDs / DCs / Suspects and specially dangerous criminals
or criminal organization, which require surveillance and to execute
NBWs. During day beats summons and notices can be served.
Before leaving the police stations, Beat police personnel should go
through AP Police intranet and short-list absconding most-wanted
property /bodily offenders and keep a sharp look out for such wanted
persons and apprehend them when sighted.
C. Maintain effective surveillance on history sheeted persons and ex-
convicts;
1388
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
3. As several offenders come from villages, visiting villages and staying there
is essential for efficient preventive / detective policing in a beat area. All
those which are constituted into a Panchayat are called villages. The smaller
villages attached to larger village, should also be treated as a separate village
for the purpose of village visiting or patrols either by day or night. All those
1389
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
660-1. The beats should be organised taking into consideration the crime, the vigilance
required, factions prevailing, clandestine activities being organised in the area
etc. The frequency of visits and period of stay depends upon the sensitive or
hypersensitive nature of the area. The classification keeps changing from
time to time.
2. The following are the types of villages to be classified as ‘sensitive’ or
‘hypersensitive’ within the general beats.
A. Villages in which bad characters reside i.e., offenders, criminals, or
members of organized criminal gangs or syndicates or those who
foment or incite caste, communal violence, for whom history sheets
are maintained and require surveillance.
B. Villages in which there have been in the immediate past frequent
incidents or outbreaks of crime, either against persons or property.
C. Villages in which there are acute factions due to group rivalries,
political, communal or caste or other tensions, and
1390
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1391
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
the same manner as a beat Constable does, to make sure that it is organised
properly and can be served in the manner prescribed.
662 - Deployment of Police Officers in the village beat and their duties :
1. Two police officers i.e., either two police Constables or one Constable and
one Head Constable should be allotted to each beat. They are responsible to
visit and patrol sensitive village. The hyper-sensitive villages should be more
frequently visited. It is not necessary that all villages in a beat should be
covered every time the constables go to that beat. They should cover the
villages in the beats at least once a week not only in the day time but also at
nights. They shall proceed on beat duty at least 4 times in a month, each visit
being spread over at least two days and one night. The SHO should ensure
that they are not allotted any other duty in the PS when the Constables/HCs
in charge of a beat proceed on beat duty once a week. The SHO may,
however, earmark any two days or more if necessary to the Constables in
charge of the beat to proceed to their respective beat areas to discharge
their responsibilities and duties enumerated herein. The SHO should obtain
prior permission for any deviation from this from Inspector/SDPO. The
Inspector shall surprise at least one beat in a PS in a month in addition to
regular inspections. Visit by Village Police Officer (VPO) is to be treated as
Beat. He should have all information about the village pertaining to Crime
and criminals.
1392
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB

F. To keep the SHO informed from time to time about caste tension if any to

Political rivalries
3. In almost all villages, people have political affiliations with one or the other
party. In most villages the public in general do not actively participate in
political activities on a regular basis. Majority of them show interest only
during election time, while a very small group may be active throughout. The
police is concerned only with violent clashes or possibility of offences due to
intense political rivalries - generally prior to elections or as an aftermath, and
in some instances even at other times. The political factions quite often get
aligned with communal or caste or village factions. It is the situation which
is a serious threat to law and order quite often. The beat area constables
have a duty to clearly understand these factors and keep detailed information
of possible clashes in each village. A report should be made on the existence
of such rivalry and the list of anti-social elements who take advantage of
such situations.
Factions :
1397
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
and weapons and their involvement in cases in the area or outside, are the
important factors which influence factious crime and public peace. Faction
crime chart should be written indicating the initial problem leading to murders
/ attempts / burning of plantation / cutting of trees etc.
Agrarian unrest :
5. The villages in which there are serious land disputes, cultivation of tribal
lands by Non-tribals, occupation of Government or private property,
possession or dispossession, sale or transfer of land in scheduled areas, owner-
tenant disputes, agricultural wages, water disputes etc. are causes of unrest.
Information of all such issues with a potential for law and order situations or
clashes or offences either spontaneous or instigated required to be collected
and recorded in the village register (Part IV). The beat area constables with
the help of village secretary and contacts with local people will be in a position
to collect this information. In the event of likelihood of the breach of peace,
the names of parties, the object of dispute or conflict, the extent to which the
village and its residents are likely to be affected should be assessed and
regularly informed to the SHO.

2. The SHO or SI or ASI should visit selected villages (not the same every
time) with the beat books and compare the dates and hours of the entries in
the beat books with those in the point books. Such verification should be
made even when the SHO or a ASI or officer in-charge of outpost goes to
a village on any other work, such as petition enquiry or investigation. If beat
books are not available, the checking officer will note down the particulars
in his notebook and compare them with the beat book on his return to the
station. Verification of information may also be done in the same manner.
3. The SHO should also make enquiries with village community contact
members and other sources other than point-book holders, regarding the
beat police officers’ stay or presence on the days noted in the beat book.
Such enquiries should be more in the nature of acquainting himself with
actual field realities rather than out of any distrust.
4. The SHO should personally check the patrols in each beat area in his jurisdiction
at least twice a month. ASIs or OP in-charge should do so more often.
Duties of supervising officers in relation to beats :
670. District / City control room should constantly monitor safety of roads in a
beat area is also the responsibility of the beat in which such roads are located.
This patrolling by beat constables is different from the highway and traffic
patrol which would be generally mobile. During the weekly beat or separately
the beat area constable should concentrate on the roads both by day and
particularly at night. The purpose of this should be to prevent crime on the
roads and afford assistance and protection to those in need of the same,
particularly women and children. They should closely liaise with the
concerned traffic/highway patrol and obtain such assistance/information that
1402
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
would facilitate effective crime prevention and protection to the needy. They
should be provided with means of communication such as VHF Sets, Cell
phones etc.,
Procedure on return of police officers from patrolling or beat or other service
671. When a Police Officer returns from beat duty, he should report to the SHO.
An entry should be made about the time of return of the constable/HC from
beat duty in the general diary. The SHO should verify and satisfy himself
that the Police Officer has contacted point book holders. The SHO should
debrief the beat police officers and take report on the following;
1.A. Collection and updating of information
B. Surveillance over history sheeted persons.
C. Meeting public, Community Contact committee members, village
secretariat, village officials and
D. representatives of panchayats.
E. Service of summons and execution of warrants.
F. Petition enquiries entrusted.
G. Assessment of possible breach of peace and public nuisances.
H. Their observation relating to the absence of ex-convicts and history
sheeted criminals.
2. The information brought by the beat constable should be verified by the
SHO by contacting the concerned police officer where the absentee criminal
is said to have gone. Similarly he must himself verify if he is elsewhere in his
jurisdiction. If there are any strangers found in the area with suspected
movement he shall make a report immediately to the concerned SHO.
3. The information relating to the absence or a temporary change of address
given by the ex-convict or history sheeted person shall be verified by the
SHO with the concerned police stations for the correctness of the information.
Records pertaining to beats
672. The information furnished by the beat area police should be entered by the
SHO in the following records.
1. Permanent village information Book: This will be maintained by the
HC/senior constable in charge of the beat after the reports and information
1403
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
on each column and item have been submitted to the SHO and the summary
approved by him. The sheets so approved will be filled by the SHO in the
book maintained in Form 81. SHO, Inspector and SDPO shall countersign
the entries. The latter may enter details in the sheets based on their own
enquiries and information, or modification of information recorded. The
proforma sheets will be issued to them by the SHO.
2. Beat visiting book: All the villages should be first arranged alphabetically
leaving some pages of the book for each village. On the pages allotted for a
village, the usual signatures of five or six inhabitants with good antecedents
of that village where point books are kept should be obtained. The inhabitants
should cover all important localities and sections of people. Three of the five
persons may be a (i) Sarpanch or member of Panchayat, (ii) Village Secretary
and (iii) member of Community Contact Committee. The first page should
carry an index to the villages with the page numbers noted against them.
The night patrolling by beat area constables to each village will also be noted
in the pages meant for each village and signed by them on their return to the
PS. The sample signature book will be in Form 110.
FORM – 110 See Order No.672.2
SAMPLE SIGNATURE BOOK
3. Beat Books: Every beat should have a beat book in Form 111. Constables
in charge of beats whenever they proceed to the area should take the beat
book along with them and note in the appropriate columns, the information
they gather, during each visit. They should obtain the signature of at least
three persons whose sample signatures are maintained in the station in the
sample signature book in the appropriate column. Such signatures should be
obtained in all the villages including “route” villages through which they pass.
If the signature of any of the persons could not be obtained, the reasons may
be mentioned in the book. The beat constables are required to sign the point
books (P.B) during night patrol duty and obtain signatures of PB holders
while on such duty.

Inspector of the PS will proceed to the spot immediately and take necessary
further action.
2. The Police which reaches the spot first may, while preserving the scene and
other incident control measures await arrival of the detective police and if
their arrival takes unduly long time the L&O Police SI should proceed with
the enquiries and other action required to be taken. CLUES team should be

CHAPTER 37
Surveillance
(Police is empowered u/s 149 Cr.PC to take up surveillance and other mea-
sures to prevent commission of any cognizable Crime)
711. Surveillance is a vital part of preventive action by police, to deter the designs
of a person intending to commit offences. The system of surveillance detailed
in this Chapter lays down the procedure, for dissemination of information
and rules for surveillance. The nature and degree of surveillance depends
on the circumstances and persons on whom surveillance is mounted. It is
only in very rare cases and on rare occasions that round the clock surveillance
becomes necessary for a few days or weeks. It is very difficult and even
impossible to keep a watch on all listed persons and hence it is necessary
that those who deserve to be kept under close surveillance receive maximum
attention. The procedures laid down herein, provide for better surveillance
of various categories of persons. All Police Officers should fully understand
and comply with these orders.
History sheeted persons - Reporting Movements
712-1.The manner of opening, maintenance and closure of history sheets for various
categories of persons and method of surveillance by the beat Police Officers
is set forth in Chapter 35.
2(a). The beat Police Officers should be fully conversant with the
movements or changes of residence of all persons for whom history
sheets of any category are maintained and those whose names are
entered in Part III of the Station Crime History. They shall promptly
report the exact information to the SHO and make entries in the
relevant registers. The SHO on this basis and / or on the basis of the
information gathered by himself should report by the quickest means
to the SHO, in whose jurisdiction the concerned person/persons are
going to reside or pass through. After sending the first report a BC
Roll in form A (Form 109) should be despatched to them by speed
post or courier service. The SHO who receives the first

724-1 Section 129 Cr.PC empowers any SHO or police officer not below the rank
of SI to disperse any unlawful assembly and if it does not disperse, may use
such force as may be necessary and proportionate and also effect arrest.
The power conferred on the Police in this section is both preventive and
punitive. Declaring an assembly as Unlawful Assembly is a pre-requisite.
Necessary General Diary entry, and entry in Part-I of Case Diary are essential
ingredients.
Prevention of cognizable offences u/s 149 and 151 Cr.PC

peace. The main feature of Section 145 Cr.PC is that when there is a
bonafide dispute regarding land or water or boundaries and there is
1467
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
726-1. Section 106 of the Cr. PC provides that a Court of Session or Court of a
Magistrate of a first class may, at the time of passing sentence on a person
convicted of certain specified offences or abetting any such offences as laid
down under that section, order him to execute a bond for keeping the peace
for any period not exceeding three years. Since the Judicial Magistrate after
due trial and conviction orders the security, no separate enquiry is necessary.
If the conviction is set-aside on appeal or otherwise, the bond executed shall
become void.
2. An order under this section may also be made by an Appellate Court or by a
Court, which exercises powers of revision.
3. In appropriate cases the SHO with the help of a prosecutor should file a
memo in the court immediately after pronouncing the Judgment and before
passing the sentence mentioning the reasons for taking security. If satisfied
the court may take security up to 3 years commencing from the date of
release from imprisonment.
1468
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
727-1. Preventive action can be taken U/s 107 Cr. PC by an Executive Magistrate,
if he has information through police or otherwise that any person is likely to
commit breach of peace or disturb the public tranquillity or to do any wrongful
act that may probably occasion a breach of peace or disturb the public
tranquillity and is of the opinion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding.
He may thereafter require such person to show cause why he should not be
ordered to execute a bond for keeping the peace for such period, not
exceeding one year as he thinks fit. The Magistrate can take action whether
such person(s) is residing in his jurisdiction or committing breach in his
jurisdiction residing elsewhere.
2. Section 107 Cr.PC is an effective means for preventing breaches or
disturbances of public tranquillity in connection with religious processions,
communal tensions, festivals, fairs, elections, caste conflicts, political
movements or other disputes between factions, factionists filing tenders etc.
It is not essential in every case there should be two parties fighting against
each other. It must however, be clear that a breach of the peace is imminent,
unless averted by proceedings under the section. Courts have held that breach
of peace does not mean only breach of public peace or that public should
have assembled. Even if an individual is assaulted in his house it is relevant
provided imminent breach of peace is anticipated as a result.
3. Before launching proceedings, the SHO shall gather evidence, oral and
documentary, of persons (including police officers) acquainted with the
circumstances of the facts and case regarding the specific occasion on which
the breach of the peace is anticipated.
A. The existence of a cause, quarrel or other circumstance which is likely to
lead to the breach and the period of its duration,
B. The declaration of the parties indicating their determination to carry out, or

4. The statements recorded as above are not the statements u/s 161 or 162 Cr.
PC and therefore, it is not necessary to record them elaborately, short notes
being sufficient. The witnesses can also sign them.

6. Arrests cannot be made u/s 107 Cr PC. Only a Magistrate can issue a
warrant u/s 113 Cr.PC, if breach of peace cannot otherwise be prevented.
Where the Police Officer feels that arrest is necessary he should report the
circumstances to the Magistrate and obtain a warrant for arrest. However,
arrests may be made in urgent cases under section 151 Cr.PC, in the
circumstances provided therein.

730-1. The object of this section also is preventive, and not punitive, and the action
is not intended as a punishment for past offences. It is aimed at protecting
society from habitual offenders, desperate, dangerous characters and anti-
social elements against the perpetration of crimes. It is intended to curb the
dangerous activities of hardened criminals and secure the interests of
community from injury at their hands. This section deals with habitual
offenders in the cases under clauses (a) to (f) and desperate and dangerous
characters under clause (g).
1471
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
2. Clauses (a) to (f) deals with different types of habitual offenders. For the
purpose of this section habit can be proved by evidence of general repute or
otherwise.
3. Clause (g) deals with desperate and dangerous characters. He is a person
who has disregard for the safety of persons and properties. Rowdies and
goondas come under this category.
4. Sub-section (2) of section 41Cr.PC empowers the SHO to arrest without
warrant any person belonging to one or more categories described in sections
109 and 110 Cr. PC. The arrest may be followed by action under these
sections.
3. The evidence of general repute relating to the habit of a person can be
gathered from the local witnesses, from the aggrieved as well as from the
entries of the incidents recorded by the police officer in the G.D. Though
previous conviction is not necessary to prove the habit, such convictions will
help the prosecution in strengthening their case. Security cases u/s 110 of
the Cr.PC against local habitual criminals should be built up on details recorded
in the Station Crime History as well as the result of careful surveillance and
enquiries by the Police. It should be exceptional for a local criminal, for
whom a history sheet has not been opened, to be put up under these sections.
6. The history sheet is a privileged document and is not generally produced in
evidence. The evidence of persons who have direct and first-hand knowledge
of them should prove information contained in it.
7. When evidence of suspicion against the respondent in certain crimes is spoken
to by a Police Officer, he must substantiate his suspicion by giving cogent
and convincing reasons. A vague suspicion is not enough to warrant the
respondent being bound over under section 110 Cr.PC. Evidence of
misconduct should relate to recent incidents and not acts committed by the
respondent years ago.
8. Where several persons are jointly put up under section 110 Cr.PC, evidence
of the offences by each of them should not be admitted as against others
unless concert between them is shown.
9. The clause, which is applicable to each case, should be specifically stated in
the information to be laid before the Magistrate.

3. The Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956 also empowers the, Special Police
officer (CI/ACP) to rescue a person and to order closure of a brothel and
eviction of offenders from the premises. The Police are required to file the
information before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate to obtain an order under
section 18 of the Act for closure of Brothels.
4. The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 is intended
to prohibit advertisements and wall posters depicting women in indecent
postures.
5. The Juvenile Justice (Protection and care of children) Act 2015 empowers
the Police to rescue neglected children both boys and girls and produce
them before the C.W.C (Child Welfare Committee) for ordering their
custody to the designated Children Homes etc. Under no circumstances
CNCP (Children in Need of Care and Protection) should be taken to the
Police Stations.
6. The AP Objectionable Performances Prohibition Act 1985 empowers the
District Magistrate and the State Government to prohibit performances
which are considered objectionable in the sense that they tend to encour-
age persons to resort to violence, disaffection in armed forces or police
forces, promote feelings of enmity between different sections, or those
grossly indecent or obscene. The duty of the Police Officer in this connec-
tion is, that when he receives information that any objectionable perfor-
mance is likely to be conducted, he should bring it to the notice of his
superior officer for appropriate action. The Sub-Divisional Police Officer
may, after scrutiny, report to the District Magistrate through the Superin-
tendent of Police for orders in the matter.
732-1. Section 133 Cr. PC empowers Executive Magistrate to deal with public
nuisances either on receipt of report of a Police Officer or other information.
1474
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
The public nuisances that can be redressed and unlawful obstructions that
can be removed from any public place etc. are indicated below.
A. Obstructions or nuisance to any public place, or way or channel
lawfully used by the public.
B. The conduct of any trade or occupation or the keeping of any goods
or merchandise injurious to the health or physical comfort of the
community. Including blaring of loudspeakers beyond the prescribed
decibels of noise and prescribed time.
C. Construction of any building or disposal of any substance as is likely
to occasion conflagration or explosion.
D. A building tent or structure or a tree as is likely to fall and cause
injury topersons.
E. An unfenced tank, well or excavation near public way or place and
F. A dangerous animal requiring destruction, confinement or disposal
2. The duties of police in this regard are to inform the concerned Executive
Magistrate promptly, all the matters falling in the purview of section 133 Cr.
PC, on the lines as indicated below.
A. The L&O Police, beat and patrol men are responsible for reporting
such instances without any loss of time.
B. If any representation is made or information is received, it should be
verified by a visit to the place by the Police Officers of the beat.
C. If they come across such nuisances, the details should be collected
including photographs or sketch of the place and submitted to the
SHO.
D. Private litigation or private interest should not be the basis for action
by the Police.
E. It is not necessary that there should be danger or inconvenience
already existing to the public at large, but it is sufficient if there is
likelihood of such a thing, being caused.
F. The term public nuisance is defined in section 268 of IPC, which can
be adopted for the purpose of this section. Section 12 of IPC states
that the term public includes a class or community residing in a
particular area but that class must be numerically sufficient to be
designated as such. They should have a right vested in them
irrespective of numbers. Public place includes also property belonging

733-1. The majority of riots and other disturbances causing breach of peace take
place mainly due to socio-economic and political frictions, communal, caste,
regional, industrial, agrarian and political disturbances. Organised criminal
and goonda gangs and unsocial elements in pursuit of private gain indulge
and provoke these disturbances adding fuel to the already provoked people.
The disturbances cause widespread panic resulting in physical assaults, bodily
injuries, murders, lootings, rapes and forcible closure of business and shops
and intimidation and in short all inhuman acts take place posing a challenge
to the efficacy of the police and the government in dealing with these
disturbances. Police have an onerous and difficult duty in tackling such
situation with all the legal means available at their command. Prevention
saves considerable loss of life and property.
Procedure to be adopted during crowd control – Use of non-lethal weapons.
(Refer C.O.Rc.No.739/L&O-1/2010,dt. 10-12-2010 of DGP AP)
Impact of wide-spread riots
2. No crime is so dangerous to the peace, harmony, life and well being of the
people as riots. Under Sec.149 Cr.PC, Police is mandated to prevent
occurrence of Cognizable offence to the best of his ability. Every Police
Officer may interpose for the purpose of preventing, and shall, to the best of
his ability, prevent, the commission of any cognizable offence. Wide spread
riots for any duration paralyse trade, free movement of people depriving
their normal means of livelihood, shaking the confidence in the police and
the government for their peaceful existence. Therefore, it is the prime duty
of the police to prevent the commission of breach of peace by gathering
intelligence to nip it in the bud and if it crosses that stage by taking up effective
measures in controlling the disturbances. Primarily, it is the duty of the law
and order police to control these disturbances as per situation with the
assistance of other wings of the department like Reserve Police, Railway
Police, Spl. Police, Central Paramilitary Forces etc. as per the need. Each
situation calls for different ways of dealing and adopting measures suiting to
the laws and the needs.
1479
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
734-1. One of the most important duties of the police is the collection, collation and
dissemination of information about every movement, state of feeling, dispute
or incident, which may lead to a breach of peace, and the communication of
such information to the concerned authorities with a view to take action or
to use the information for the purpose of preventing or detecting crime or
preventing breach of peace. All police measures and actions, their efficacy
and use entirely depend on the intelligence gathered and its use. In dealing
with the situations described in this Chapter, information on the following
lines is absolutely essential and should be gathered by the SHO, Inspector,
SDPO /ACP and other senior officers apart from the specialised units meant
for the purpose.
Note: SHO in this Chapter means the SHO of L&O Police wherever exists.
1-A. Consult station records to identify the occasions when breach of peace is
likely, its nature, the places and potential troublemakers. It is necessary that
all records are accurate and updated.
B. Visit the place and assess public feeling and likely trouble.
C. Contact persons who command respect and confidence of rival groups.
D. Gather information from all possible sources.
E. Read and follow thoroughly the communications and instructions from
superior officers
F. Confer and ascertain full details from beat police and other police staff
G. After the evaluation and assessment of the problem in all its aspects with
reference particularly to the persons, places and nature of trouble, police
officers shall decide on surveillance, preventive arrests, promulgation of
regulatory or prohibitory orders, arrangements to be made to contain and
control trouble, the specific briefing to all Police Officers to be deployed
including arrangements for their accommodation, food, etc. if the assessment
reveals need for extended period of deployment.
2. It is the prime duty of the police to prevent the commission of cognizable
offences. In such endeavour they should enlist the assistance of influential
persons in communities in mitigating the situation and see that they exercise
their influence in controlling the situations. The help from Community Contact
Committees is highly desirable in this regard.
1480
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
3. All HCs and PCs of the beat area should be instructed to take help of village
officials and keep vigil and report from time to time on the meetings, both
public and secret, handbills distributed and rumours set afloat by mischievous
local elements or outside agents.
4. A striking force of adequate police strength should be mobilized and kept
ready for attending to any sudden out break of mob violence. Besides this all
riot control equipments like water cannon, concertina coils, gas guns, firearms
and ammunition, helmets, shields, tear gas shells, shock batons, baton rounds
(rubber/plastic bullet), lathis etc. should be kept ready for use.
5. Precautionary measures for preventing or dealing with such disorders depend
upon a number of factors, including the cause of friction, the nature of the
particular dispute, whether the danger is continuous or associated with a
particular festival or occasion, and the influence of the leader of the
communities. Experience has shown that adequate precautions taken in proper
time tend to inspire confidence among several communities and check the
misguided zeal of irresponsible elements. Arrange frequent patrolling, if
assessment reveals possible breach of peace. Such a precaution signals
police preparedness and acts as a deterrent to possible troublemakers and
inspires confidence among public.
6. Bestow utmost attention to fasts, feasts and festivals of different communities
occurring at the same time. Work out mutually acceptable arrangements;
reconcile conflicting approaches or disputes with the help of rival local leaders.
But do not be misled by promises and assurances and make necessary
arrangements as a precaution.
7. Keep the concerned Executive Magistrate informed in writing to be available.
Police Officers should remain in close touch with the magistracy during
situations of anticipation and actual breach of peace.
8. When tensions and feelings run high, a clash in a large town develops into
serious and widespread trouble. Precautionary measures need to be taken
on this assumption as such steps will prevent and stop clashes in other areas
apart from containing spread of trouble. Dialogue with leaders, involving the
concerned departmental heads in the District / Commissionerate will be
useful.
9. At times, disorders get a firm foothold before the necessary arrangements
are made and forces arrive to control and bring about normalcy. In such an
event ordinarily, the trouble assumes the form of gang attacks, kill and run
1481
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
tactics in localities where one community is weak and the police are inadequate
to prevent it. Widespread looting and arson will often be features of this
stage. The following measures have proved to be of value in such situations.
A. Promulgation of orders under section 144 Cr.PC including curfew,
prohibiting the holding of meetings, delivering of speeches, assembling
of persons, carrying of weapons, taking out processions, or other
acts from which a breach of the peace can be apprehended.
B. In cases of dispute that occasion the breach of the peace relating to
land or water, or to boundaries of land or water, action under sections
145 to 148 of Cr.PC is appropriate and must be taken. Copies of
reports to Magistrates for action u/s 144 or 145 of Cr.PC should be
sent to the concerned superior Police Officers.
10. If the prospect of averting trouble is not encouraging take the
following steps:
A. Concentrate a sufficiently large police force that can be gathered in
the vicinity of the scene of trouble. But where trouble is anticipated
a show of strength, is sometimes sufficient to avoid untoward
developments. The police force should be strong enough to deal
promptly and effectively with major or minor incidents. Route marches
by police columns through the affected areas help in containing and
the spread of incidence.
B. Arrangements must be made for patrols and pickets and for the
establishment of communications between the various police parties
and the police headquarters.
C. The deployment in such situations should be to contain large-scale
trouble and quick return to normalcy. Hence aimlessly scattering and
thinning out the police force should be avoided, otherwise it may
result in not being able to prevent anything anywhere. The thinned
out forces get submerged helplessly in the cauldron of mob violence.
All deployment should ensure communication between all pickets,
patrols and striking forces both in terms of equipment and physical
mobility between each point. In short physical contact by foot or
transport should be ensured between one point and other when police
are deployed besides VHF set communication. All should be closely
knit to be able to press maximum resources where most needed in
the shortest time.
1482
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1484
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
736-1. Public have a right to take out a in procession with music (within desired
decibles) subject to the known rights of a community by convention or
religious practices or due to Judgment of courts or by recognized rights and
mutual understanding.
2. The enforcement authorities should play an impartial role in implementing
the respective right of the parties.
1485
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
737. The following orders should be followed by the police on the occurrence of
trouble among the workers during strikes or wide spread unrest.
1. Problems in the organised labour are due to economic causes or due to
unresolved disputes between management and labourers or sometimes due
to vested interests of trade unions. When a strike or a situation that disturbs
peace actually recurs, the duty of the police is only to preserve peace and
not to interfere in or arbitrate on the issues involved. There are several
departments under various laws to deal with such disputes. Police are
concerned only in prevention of violent activities and destruction of properties.
They should however; activate the labour and individual department officials
to initiate measures for solution if they feel that clashes or undesirable activity
may result if the solution is not found.
1486
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
2. As in all other law and order situations, timely information on the industries,
the subsisting disputes, potential for law and order problems arising, the likely
trouble makers, the nature of violence that may be caused should be gathered
by the L&O police.
3. In particular, it is the duty of the police (a) to prevent breaches of the peace,
(b) to secure the safety of property, (c) to secure the safety of general
public, (d) to deal with and investigate cognizable cases, and (e) to obtain
information on the points referred to in sub-order (6) below.
4. The SHO shall inform the Inspector, SDPO / ACP and the SP / DCP at the
earliest possible indication of a strike and intimation immediately on its
occurrence. The report should contain details of the number of persons
affected, the issues involved in the strike and the extent of disorder anticipated.
Should the police force of the area be insufficient to cope with the situation,
the SP / DCP should requisition additional strength from neighbouring Sub-
Divisions or, if necessary and urgent, from the Reserve Police. The general
instructions given in Order 734 also apply to breaches of the peace caused
or likely to be caused by industrial unrest.
5. It is to be remembered that peaceful picketing to prevent non-strikers from
attending or resuming work by persuasion, as distinct from force or
intimidation, or wrongful restraint is not an offence and does not call for
police interference, but only watchfulness and regulation.
6. Information on the following points should be gathered;
A. the names of any instigators or the more militant among them of the
strike not directly interested in its avowed economic objects.
B. the extent to which such instigation is responsible for the strike.
C. communication and concerted action with the leaders of other unions
and strikes.
D. the direct and indirect causes of strikes that may be avowedly political.
E. the existence of literature inciting to strike.
F. the probable local political effects of the strike.
G. the numbers of strikers and the classes to which they belong;
H. the money and resources available and the source there of and
I. the percentage of workers likely to participate in the strike.
1487
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1488
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
738-1. The frequent occurrence of factious rioting in certain areas of the state is a
definite indication of the challenges, which the police has to face in controlling
factious crime effectively. Attention should be paid to factious villages and
all steps appropriate should be taken to prevent factious crimes. Impartiality,
integrity, promptness and firmness are the most essential qualities required
of a police officer in dealing with factions and investigation of factious cases.
2. When a faction comes to notice for the first time, efforts should be made to
nip it in the bud. Conciliatory methods may be successful at times. If the
faction persists, there should be no hesitation in setting the relevant law in
motion. All officers from the SP downwards should visit factious villages
and send a message to the factionist that the police would mean business in
dealing with any disturbance or crime and follow up with necessary measures.
The factious villages shall be covered effectively during day by beat area
police officers. Informants should be cultivated and information network
built up. Arrests u/s 151 Cr.PC. should be made where necessary.
3. Even a minor incident resulting from a faction should not be ignored. Section
160 IPC and sections 106 and 107 of Cr. PC shall be used. In all cases
under section 107 of the Code the Magistrate should be requested to take
interim bonds from the parties. In some cases, it may be necessary to take
action under clauses (e) and (f) of section 110 of Cr.PC against important
faction leaders and rowdies. In cases of factious riotings and affray, the
Magistrate should be requested to bind over the parties under section 106 of
Cr.PC, in the event of a conviction. (Refer Chapter on Security Proceedings).
In 106, 107 or 110 Cr.PC cases a person who is capable of ensuring good
conduct should be insisted as surety. If police officers furnish all background
material on the sureties it will enable the Magistrate to decide whether to
accept the surety or not and jail the persons if sureties are not to his
satisfaction.
4. Even after the parties to a faction have been bound over under section 106
or section 107 of Cr. PC, there should be no relaxation of vigilance in regard
to that faction, as instances are not wanting in which even after action has
been taken under the security sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
factious parties have committed overt acts and indulged in sudden outbursts
of violence. Every such incident, however small including the attempts should
be taken cognizance of. The offenders should not only be charged for the
1489
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
specific offence but also action taken for forfeiture of their bonds. If, in
spite of all these measures, factionists continue to be active, the Superintendent
of Police should have no hesitation to come up with proposals for quartering
additional Police in the area.
5. All incidents arising out of a faction should be recorded in the general diary
forthwith. An exhaustive note about the faction and its leaders and members
with their antecedents, as well as information collected from time to time by
Constables of the beat should be made in Part IV of the concerned Station
Crime History by the SHO. Rowdy sheets should also be opened for those
who are persistent factionists.
Investigation of Factious riotings and murder
739-1. In a factious rioting, the police should not be content with mere laying charge
sheets against both the contending parties, making the prosecution witnesses
in one case the accused in the other and vice versa. The IOs should not and
put forward their versions to the court without any attempt at finding out the
truth. If complaints of the offence of rioting containing two divergent versions
are given by the parties, it is the duty of the investigating officer to find out
the aggressor which case is true and lay charge sheet accordingly. The
easier course of referring both the case and the counter-case as undetectable
should not be adopted. An impartial, efficient, painstaking and scientific
investigation should disclose the true facts of any occurrence as to who is
the aggressor and who is the defendant. The laying of charge sheets in both
the case and the counter-case should be resorted to only in cases of free
fight. Factious riotings or murders are often result of meticulous planning
and if the Investigating officers thoroughly go back into events prior to
occurrence and after the offence, the main organisers will not be able to
escape the penal consequences of their actions. The three aspects of
Intention, Preparation and Commission have to be brought out.
2. When a group takes law into its hands with a view to impose its will or
programme upon those opposed to it, the latter have a right conferred upon
them to act in defence of their lives and properties. Whenever, trouble occurs
or anticipated between two parties, the police should distinguish between
the aggressor and the victim for the purpose of action under preventive or
specific sections of law. Where one party has been forced to act in self-
defence, only the aggressive party should ordinarily be proceeded against.
This calls for professionalism, impartiality and integrity of high order.
1490
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
Otherwise, the aggressor is more than satisfied on the plea that the aggrieved
is also charged along with him. The real perpetrators, planners and those
behind the factious riotings should not be allowed to go scot-free by merely
charge sheeting those under links or henchmen. Cell phone evidence u/s 65
B Evidence Act, is extremely useful to fix up the main accused behind the
scene.
Dispersal of Mobs
740-1. The instructions for the dispersal of mobs and for use of fire arms are
contained in the Police Drill Manual, besides legal provisions under section
129 to 132 Cr.P.C. District, City Armed Reserves and Civil Police shall
constantly practise these instructions. An unlawful assembly may be ordered
to disperse by a Magistrate or officer-in-charge of a Police Station and
when so ordered, it is the duty of the members of the unlawful assembly to
disperse. If they do not, force may be used to disperse them. Any Police
Officer may without warrant arrest the members of an unlawful assembly
after declaring the same as unlawful Assembly u/s 129 Cr.PC. Entries in
General Diary and Case diary have to be made and thus disperse the assembly.
The following points have to be borne in mind.
A. The Police must secure the presence of an Executive Magistrate as
far as possible where a breach of the peace necessitating the use of
force is anticipated. The Executive Magistrate on information or
requisition by police should be present at the spot.
B. When a Magistrate is present at the spot he should be in complete
charge of the situation. He has the necessary legal powers to order
any Police Officer to assist him in handling the situation.
C. The senior most Police Officer present is bound to assist the
Magistrate by mobilizing the available Police Force and utilizing them
as best as possible.
D. If the crowd becomes defiant and the use of teargas, lathi charge or
both are inexpedient or fail in their purpose, use of firearms may be
resorted to. The Magistrate is responsible for taking a decision as to
when an unlawful assembly has to be dispersed by force and also
the kind of force to be used.
E. After such a decision is taken, the officer-in-charge of the Police is
solely responsible for deciding the exact amount of force to be used,
the manner of using it and the settling of the details of the operations
1491
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
connected with the use of force, all the time keeping in mind the
principle that minimum force that is necessary to disperse the mob
should be used.
F. When a Police party is formed for dispersing an unlawful assembly,
it should be numbered and split off into two or more sections, if the
size of the party and the time available admit of it. Each section
should be under the charge of an officer.
G. All commands to the Police are to be given by the Officer in command
of the party. The Police are not on any account to open fire except
by word of command of their Officer, who has to exercise an extreme
caution and discretion regarding the extent and the line of fire.
H. As soon as it becomes necessary to resort to the use of fire arms
with reference to clause (D) above, the officer in command of the
party will bring the men to the loading position and give the order to
load the ammunition. This will prevent panic in loading at the last
movement when actual fire order is given.
I. Officers Commanding Police parties will, on every occasion when
employed in the suppression of a riot or enforcement of law, ensure
that the fullest warning is, if feasible, given to the mob in a clear and
distinct manner before any order is given to use tear gas or lathies or
fire arms. They will use the most effectual means to explain before
hand to them that in the event of the Police party being forced to
open fire, the fire will be effective and on the target. Whenever
firing is resorted to, directions and warnings to the mobs should be
announced through loudspeakers. Police vehicles should be equipped
with loudspeakers and where such arrangements cannot be made
hand megaphones should be kept ready for announcement.
J. Even after being warned, if the mob does not disperse, the order to
fire may be given. If the officer in command of the party is of the
opinion that it will suffice if orders to only one or two files be given,
he may accordingly order specifying the files that are to open fire. If,
however, he considers that it will be insufficient, he will give the
word of command to one or more sections to open fire. The fire
order of each section will be given, by the regular word of command
by the officer-in-charge of the party. Firing should be well controlled
and officers ordering firing should always indicate the number of
rounds that should be fired at any particular time.
1492
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
K. Where the situation warrants firing over the heads of the crowd and
where it is considered likely to be effective in dispersing the violent
mob, such firing should be resorted to only with blank ammunition.
Other policemen should be kept ready with rifles loaded with live
ammunition so that if the use of blank ammunition fails, the Police
would not be taken by surprise or overwhelmed. Firing with live
ammunition should be directed against the most threatening part of
the crowd, the aim being kept low (below the knee). Firing should
cease the moment it is no longer necessary.
L. Files or sections ordered to fire shall unload immediately after firing
without further word of command until the order to cease firing is
made finally.
M. Firing should be ceased the moment the rioters show signs of
dispersing and all help should immediately be rendered to tend or
convey the wounded to the hospital.
N. An Armed Force should never be brought so close to a large and
dangerous mob as to risk its being overwhelmed by numbers or being
forced into action resulting in infliction of heavy casualties. Firing
should be carried out from a distance sufficient to obviate the risk of
being rushed on and to enable strict fire control.
O. A Police Officer below the rank of Station House Officer has no
power to disperse such an assembly himself, but he may arrest any
person without warrant for being a member of an unlawful assembly.
He may also use the right of private defence as mentioned in order
740-3.
2-A. In any situation where the Police are compelled to deal with unlawful
assemblies in different places of the same Village or Town, it would be
necessary to secure, as far as possible, the presence of a Magistrate before
resorting to the use of fire arms for dispersing any or all of such assemblies.
B. Riot flags and display banners should be taken when District Reserves
are called out in apprehension of disturbances and before firing or
any other means of dispersal is resorted to, they should be hoisted in
front of the mob in a manner so as to enable, that what is written on
them is clearly visible and can be read or clearly understood by the
mob.
C. The Police used for dispersing mobs should wear the prescribed
uniforms and steel helmets. The teargas section and the armed party
protecting the teargas section should wear anti gas respirators.
1493
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
740-3. In the matter of dispersal of unlawful assembly the right of private defence
can be exercised to protect the life and property of public or to protect
themselves. This right can be exercised by using force as much as is
necessary and as long as it is necessary. This right extends even to the
causing of death in certain cases as laid down in section 100 IPC as against
body and in section 103 IPC as against property. The police should exercise
this right cautiously. Any amount of exceeding the right may make them
liable for penal action as per law. Therefore, the police officers must make
a judicious use of this right, only in dire need to save the life and property,
when occasion arises as shown in sections 100 and 103 IPC.
Enrollment and employment of Special Police Officers :
1494
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB

The lists should be updated every year. Those persons who have been in

5 A list of all Special Police Officers thus appointed shall be displayed in the
local police station. The place of muster, which need not necessarily be a

by him or any of his personal property is damaged or lost during its use by
such officer on duty, the cost of such damage or the value of such vehicle,
as the case may be, in so far as it is not covered by insurance or is not met
by the insuring office, will be made good by the government, provided that
the claim in respect of such cost or of such value is made promptly and
through the Commissioner of Police, if in the City, or through the SP / SsRP
under whom the Special Police Officer may be serving at the time, if in the
Districts / Railway Districts.
13. The government will also award reasonable compensation for any injury or
the loss of life to the Special Police Officer, if it is directly due to his service
as such.
14. The compensation awarded under this provision shall, in cases not falling
under 12 above, include the charges which may be incurred in connection
with the medical treatment of the Special Police Officer by a private medical
practitioner in any place where there is neither a government nor a Local
Fund nor a Municipal Hospital. If, in a place where any such hospital exists,

the sanction of the government is obtained, be borne by the Special Police
Officer himself.

increase, additional police may be quartered as a punitive measure under
section 15 of the Police Act, 1861.

Campus Violence.
743-1 The breaches of peace occasioned by students’ violence both in and out of
the campus requires special attention of the police. There are many reasons
and occasions when violence breaks out. These may be broadly classified
as internal and external. Internal causes relate to purely problems of students
relating to fees, mess facilities, curriculum, examinations, copying, ill treatment
by authorities, scholarships, group rivalries, student elections, ragging,
misconduct of staff members or assault by outsiders on a student, teacher
etc. Some problems may be genuine, some may not be.
2. The external causes relate to political, social or other causes in which students
or groups of them involve themselves either within the campus or outside.
Like all other situations, information collection is the most important duty of
police and an essential requirement. The SHO by personal contacts with
students and teachers should keep himself abreast of the affairs involving
the groups in the colleges or Universities in his jurisdiction. The guidelines
for dealing with students’ violence or incidents are given below:
1500
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB

Ragging :
1502
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
7. The police officers have to play an important and active role in curbing this
social menace as specified below:
A. All Ss.P. / Cs.P. should instruct their subordinates before the
commencement of the academic session to contact Heads of the
educational institutions and enlighten them on the provisions of the
AP Prohibition of Ragging Act, 1997. Head of educational institution
should also be advised to give wide publicity about the Act among
students.
B. University and College hostels should be visited especially in the
nights and in the beginning of the academic session along with the
wardens and university/college staff. If necessary ‘ complaint box’
may be kept in the hostels.
C. They should make efforts to collect intelligence or deploy men in
plain clothes at the beginning of academic year besides keeping
vigilance over senior students and also request the management to
1503
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
1504
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
744-11 The Hon’ble, Supreme Court of India in SLP (Civil) No. 24295 /2004 in
University of Kerala Vs Council, Principals, Colleges, Kerala & others
have formulated the nine Principles. (called Dr. Raghavendra committee
recommendations )
a. The punishment to be meted out has to be exemplary and justifiably
harsh to act as a deterrent against recurrence of such incidents.
b. Every single incident of ragging where the victim or his parent/
guardian or the Head of institution is not satisfied with the institutional
arrangement for action, a First Information Report must be filed
without exception by the institutional authorities with the local police
authorities. Any failure on the part of the institutional authority or
negligence or deliberate delay in lodging the FIR with the local police
shall be construed to be an act of culpable negligence on the part of
the institutional authority. If any victim or his parent/guardian of ragging
intends to file FIR directly with the police, that will not absolve the
institutional authority from the requirement of filing the FIR.
c. Courts should make an effort to ensure that cases involving ragging
are taken up on a priority basis to send the correct message that
ragging is not only to be discourage but also to be dealt with sternness.
d. In addition, the Supreme Court directed that the possibility of
introducing in the educational curriculum a subject relating to ragging
shall be explored by the National Council of Educational Research
and Training (NCERT) and the respective State Council of Educational
Research and Training (SCERT). This aspect can be included in the
teaching of the subjects “Human Rights”.
e. In the prospectus to be issued for admission by educational institutions,
it shall be clearly stipulated that in case the applicant for admission is
found to have indulged in ragging in the past or if it is noticed later
that he has indulged in ragging, admission may be refused or he shall
be expelled from the educational institution.
f. The Central Government and the State Governments shall launch a
programme giving wide publicity to the menace of ragging and the
consequences which follow in case any student is detected to have
been involved in ragging.
g. It shall be the collective responsibility of the authorities and
functionaries of the concerned institution and their role shall also be
open to scrutiny for the purpose of finding out whether they have
taken effective steps for preventing ragging and in case of their failure,
1505
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
744-12. The AP High Court in WP No. 23345/2005 of dt: 02.12.2005 also prescribed
certain guidelines for prevention of ragging in Educational institutions
communicated vide Circulation Memo No. 4276/EC/A2/2006-1 dt: 20.03.2006
of Govt. of AP Higher Education (EC) Dept.
a. That every educational institution should notify the disadvantages of
ragging and also the consequences thereof and the punishments for
violation of the same in their prospects for admission.
b. That as soon as the admissions of the fresher’s have started all the
educational institutions must see that the students are made aware
of the disadvantages of the ragging, either by conducting classes or
by way of lectures by the concerned teachers of the institution at
least for a group of students as indentified, allotting one class in each
week /month, for bringing to the notice of the students about the
disadvantages of the ragging.
c. All the communications of the media like the televisions, news papers,
open circulars, suitable posters at colleges and hostel premises etc.,
by the principals / head of the institution and that public address
system should be utilized to bring to the notice of the students that
ragging is a serious offence and wide publicity should be given mostly
in the places where educational institutions are situated and at the
traffic junctions through the public address system, at least, at
specified hours.
1506
APPM Part-I Volume - IIB
d. The educational institutions, who are able to afford, can also utilize
the channels of the media to give adequate publicity to the negative
aspects of ragging and also narrating the past incidents of suicides,
so that public awareness and aversion can be built up against
ragging, as once life is lost, it is lost for forever, in view of the
fact that the agony of the parents cannot be explained in words
as they would be sending their children with a hope that their
children would come out of the portals of educational institutions
with good education in near future:
e. As the matter relates to the students at large, the authorities i.e
District Collector and the Police Department should co-operate
with the educational institutions to bring awareness amongst the
students community by arranging group meeting between the
students of certain institution at specified time and at specified
places in the same college campus about the ‘disadvantages of
the ragging’’, so that the students, if any , have any idea of indulging
in to ragging, would definitely change their minds.
f. Whenever, any student complains of ragging to the head of the
educational institution, such head shall enquire in to the same
forthwith and if complaint is found to be true, shall take serious
action against such doer of the Act.
g. The head of the institution shall constitute anti ragging squads
involving teachers and students to prevent ragging and keep
continuous watch and vigil over ragging so as to prevent its
occurrence and recurrence.
h. The Principal / Head of the institution shall obtain an under
taking in writing from the students at the time of admission,
that they shall not resort to ragging inside or outside the
institution.
i. As soon as fresh admissions are over, Principal / Head of the
institution should see that there should be an assembly of the
students of all classes including the freshers and seniors, wherein
the lecturers should take part with regard to the interaction amongst
them and also lecturers, staff and the students should be requested
to take oath that they will not resort to ragging and they will move
friendly with all the freshers and juniors and if that is done, the
students community at large would definitely understand the
disadvantages of ragging.

ABSTRACT
WD & CW Dept - Policy for combating trafficking of women and Children for
Commercial sexual exploitation - Orders Issued
WOMEN DEVELOPMENT, CHILD WELFARE & DISABLED WEL-
FARE (PROGS) DEPT.
GO MS No.1 Dated : 03.01.2003
***
ORDER:
1. The problem of trafficking of women and children for the purpose of
sexual exploitation has assumed alarming proportions in recent years.
Trafficking is prevalent at various levels-local, inter-district, Inter-
State and Cross-border. Commercial exploitation of women and
children takes place in various forms including brothel based
prostitution, sex tourism entertainment industry and pornography in
print and electronic media. There are major obstacles in assessing
the exact magnitude of the problem of trafficking. However, various
reports have highlighted the fact that a high percentage of victims of
trafficking are from the State of Andhra Pradesh alone. Similarly,
while there are no precise estimates, the available data indicate that
nearly 50% of the victims belong to Scheduled Caste and up to 30%
belong to the other Backward Classes.
2. Trafficking is a multi-dimensional problem encompassing a whole range
of economical, social and cultural issues, which arevaried and highly
complex. Most of the victims have been trafficked with promises of
jobs, better career prospects andmarriage. Some of are inducted
forcibly through abduction. Poverty and deprivation, secondary status
accorded to womenin society, prejudice against the girl child, weakening
of the family structure, changing public attitudes towards sex
andmorality, the caste structure, urbanization and migration are other
factors, which have contributed to the commercial sexualexploitation
of women and children. Apart from trafficking, certain traditional forms
of prostitution are prevalent, e.g. Jogins,Marthammas, Dommaras,
Basavis.
3. Trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of women and children
have resulted not only in violation of rights but also in very adverse
physical , psychological and moral consequences for the victims, which
are serious, life-long, and also life threatening. About 60-70% victims
suffer from more than one disease including sexually transmitted
diseases such as HIV/ AIDS. The rescued victims are invariably
penniless, physically ill and psychologically broken.
