A.

Q.

Exh.PD87.

Would you agree that neither of these orders PD or 23/11/71 make it responsibility of Assistant Superintendent of Folice to raid vice establishments?

*

I can't agree with that para 4A of duties of Assistant Superintendent of Police.

Would you agree with me it is matter of his own initiative unless directed by Divisional Superintendent?

I can't say never. It depends on how much latitude Divisional Superintendent permits Assistant Divisional Superintendent. He would not do it except on instructions, either general or specific, of Superintendent?

A.

I can't answer categorically.

Depends on Divisional Super-

intendent or in absence of Divisional Superintendent.

In absence of Divisional Superintendent he would not be there directing?

Directive can be particular or in general sense.

A.

Q.

If no directive it could not be particular or general?

A.

I am not in a position to say if there were directive or not.

Q.

If no directive no action by Assistant Divisional Superintendent

to raid vice establishments?

A.

Q.

4.

Again it is very difficult to answer. Divisional Superintendent

is allowed discretion and latitude.

It does not say that in orders?

Directive can be general or particular.

Indeed in former order up to December 1971 there was no

such order as you pointed out?
