verandah at the back of the Station and was lying at the

door by which the other Indian Police made their exit at

7.30 p.m.

There is evidence that the man was alive after

6.00 p.m.

Medical evidence at the Enquiry was to the

effect that B.9 Chhajja Singh might have been saved if he

had obtained medical attention within one hour of having

received the wound, though the probability was against

recovery. Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 made no attempt to succour this man, although he was lying at the door of their room and they would have run no risk in opening

the door to lift him inside and doing what they could

for him.

After the Coroner's Enquiry, the Inspector

General of Folice dealt departmentally with Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 Jewan Singh, and the other three Constables (Indian Police Constable B.722 Gurbaxsh Singh; Indian Police Constable B. 315 Phuman Singh; and Indian Police Constable B. 553 Gurdit Singh), on charges of neglect of duty, and submitted the following penalties, whcih were confirmed

by Government:-

Indian Lance Sergeant B. 349 Jewan Singh, dismissed

the Force;

Indian Police Constable B.722 Gurbaxsh Singh, pro-

motion 1st Class Constable set back two years;

Indian Police Constable B. 553 Gurdit Singh

Indian Police Constable B. 315 Phuman Singh
