  1. (Vide G. 0. No. 2856P1., dated 14th August 1944.
  2. (a) it is the desire of the Provincial Government that where a gang is known to exist, steps should be taken to prosecute the members in specific cases. If, however, it is thought that this procedure will not effectively break tip the organisation and there appears to be sufficient material for the institution of a gang case (sections 400 and 401 of -the Indian Penal Code), the Superintendent will request the Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department, to depute an experienced Inspector of his department to collate the -evidence available. On conclusion of this enquiry the Inspector will place before the Superintendent and the Government Pleader of 4he- district concerned a report accompanied by statements based on the different headings of clause (b) below. The Superintendent will forward it with his -and the Government Pleader’s opinion through the Distinct Magistrate, to the Deputy Inspector-General, Criminal Investigation Department. The Deputy Inspector-General will consult the Legal Remembrance and if he concurs will sanction the institution of the case and inform the Inspector-General and the Deputy Inspector-General of the- Range. (Sec regulation 1126).
  • Though no enact rules can be prescribed for the investigation of gang casts, as each ease has its peculiar features, the following general instructions are laid down for the guidance of police officers m such cases. Evidence on the points noted below must always be sought for an obtained, if possible:—
  • Evidence of the existence of a gang for the purpose of committing dacoity, robbery or theft during the time specified in the charges (establish by proof of facts as contemplated in section 10 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872).
  • Evidence of the association of the suspected persons for the purpose of committing dacoities or thefts.
  • Evidence of relationship by blood or marriage amongst the members of the gang.
  • Evidence in corroboration of the approver’s statement on material points as contemplated in section 114 (b) of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, duly verified by a responsible police officer.
  • Evidence of confessions of co-accused previously recorded at different times and places (vide sections 30 and 114 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872).
  • Evidence of specific cases of dacoities and thefts committed by the gang.
  • Evidence of the recovery of property stolen in dacoities and thefts or suspicious property found in possession of the accused.

(viii) Evidence of the simultaneous absence from their homes in batches or singly of known members of the gang coincidence with the occurrences of dacoities and thefts in the neighbourhood.

  • Evidence of any increase or decrease in the number of dacoities or thefts coincident with the presence of absence of the members of the gang.
  • Evidence of the cessation of dacoities and thefts in the affected area after the arrest of the members.
  • Evidence of the habitual commission of dacoities or thefts to be proved by an aggregate of acts.
  • Evidence of changes of residence to avoid suspicion.

(xiii) Proof of previous convictions for dacoites and thefts (the former alone can be proved in a case under section 400 of the Indian Penal Code, but convictions under sections 379, 380 and 457, etc., of the Indian Penal Code, can be proved on a charge under section 400 or 401 of the Indian Penal Code, to establish the habits of individuals or the association of the members).

  • Proof of orders under section 110 (a), (b) and (c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure requiring any of the accused persons to give security for his good behaviour, to prove that the person is a habitual theif (vide unreported case of Emperor versus Meher Au Sarkar and others, decided on the 20th March 1901 by J. J. Prinsep and Hill).
  • Proof orders for security for good behaviour, when two or more of the accused have been bound over in one proceeding under section 110 (a), (b) and (c) of the Code of Criminal Procedure as evidence of association [vide section 117 (4) of that Code].
  • Documentary evidence in the shape of relevant entries in enquiry slips, in the surveillance register, the Village Crime Note Book, and other registers which are required by order of the Inspector-General to be maintained at a police-station This evidence would probably be admissible under section 35 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872; but, if not, might be used under section 159 of that Act to refresh memory.

(c)Much evidence which is not ordinarily admissible in criminal cases, is admissible in cases under sections 400 and 401 of the Indian Penal Code, as-the persons accused in these cases are in fact members of a conspiracy, and so section 10 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, will apply. Previous convictions of dacoity are admissible in a case under section 400, and thefts under section 401 of the Indian Penal Code, under explanation 2, section 14 of the Indian Evidence Acts 1872 (Emperor versus Nava Kumar Patnaik, I C.W.N., Page 146).

  • Where an officer so deputed has occasion to Visit a district, to the Superintendent of which he has not received a letter of introduction, he shall invariably report his arrival to the Superintendent and establish his identity, if required to do so, by means of his detective warrant, or otherwise.
  1. The rules regarding detective warrants will be found in Appendix XXXI.
  2. (a) A Criminal Intelligence Bureau is attached to the Department to enable it to deal effectively with professional and organized crime, and to supply investigating officers with all information which is on record regarding ~any particular class of crime or criminal.

(b) A “General Index to the information on record” under which information has been complied and classified in the Bureau is shown in Appendix XXXII.

  1. (a) When a case occurs in a district in which the modus operandi shows any interesting

peculiarity or novelty or indicates that any of the classes of criminals mentioned in Appendix XXXII or any other known class of itinerant professional criminal is concerned and  the accused is unknown or has absconded after committing the investigating officer shall make a reference to the Criminal Intelligence Bureau in B. P. Form No. 137. The descriptive roll in column 7 of the form shall be carefully prepared as far as practicable in accordance with the instructions contained in Appendix -X. Such references shall be made at the earliest possible moment and shall be replied to by the Bureau with the least possible delay.

  • In cases where the accused is under arrest and finger prints have to be sent to the Finger Print Bureau under regulation 493, no separate reference shall ordinarily be made to the Criminal Intelligence Bureau. In such cases, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau will peruse the search reference slips (B. P.
