Police Officials/ Officers of the district concerned in the manner prescribed in the Court's
Circular Letter No. 65/VII b-9 dated 14.6.1979.
C.L. No. 81/VIIb-68-Admn. 'G' dated 19th November, 1984

A police officer need not be summoned for evidence by any court during the
period of time he is attending a training course in any police training institution.

In case a summons has already been issued and the date of his evidence falls
during the period of his training course, and the office in-charge of the police training
institution informs the court that the said police witness is attending an in-service
training, the courts shall do well to postpone the date of evidence' to a date after the
completion of his training course. It is expected that the officer in-charge of the police
training institution shall be informing the court concerned the date on which the training
course is expected to conclude.

In exceedingly rare and exceptional cases where the court concerned is personally
satisfied that further postponement of evidence is not possible, the court concerned shall
forward such summons to the officer-in-charge of the police training institution with a
covering D.O. emphasizing the importance of the matter and directing him to relieve the
witness to enable his appearance on the, due date.

It is expected that officer-in-charge of police training institutions, on receipt of
such D.O. from any court, shall not seek any further adjournment and relieve the police
officer to appear for his evidence in the concerned court on the due date, provided again,
that the date does not clash with the dates of the final examination of the trainee.
C.E. No. 108/VII-d-41 dated 24th November, 1961

Officials of the Home branch of Uttar Pradesh Government may be summoned by
name only when their personal attendance is absolutely essential; and if certain
document, etc., are only to be produced or testified to, before the court or some evidence
is to be tendered on the basis of official records, the summons may not be issued by name
of the officials, so that the Government may be able to depute any competent person from
their staff to appear before the court to do the needful.
C.L. No.65/VIIb-9 dated 14th June, 1979

The summonses requiring appearance of transferred police officers or officials, as
witnesses should, instead of being sent to the Police Headquarters, Allahabad be sent to
the Superintendent of Police of the district concerned after ascertaining their address from
the Public Prosecutor. In case it is not possible to ascertain the addresses of transferred
police officers or officials from the Public Prosecutor, the summonses of non-gazetted
police officials should be sent to the local Superintendent of Police and that of gazetted
police officers to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, U.P., Lucknow, requesting
them to arrange for the service of summonses.
