 Introduction

The necessity to maintain peace and keeping law and order in the society led to the establishment
of law enforcing agency in the form of Police. The word “police” is derived from a Latin word
“politia” which stands for state or administration. Article 246 of the Indian constitution has made
police a state subject

The visit to Sola Police Station has changed my opinion regarding police stations. It has one of
the most advanced administrative systems in India.

The Police is undertaking the following activities:

 Preventing the crime 

 Controlling criminal activities 

 Arresting the anti-social elements 

 Maintenance of law and order 

 Maintaining peace and tranquillity 

 Women protection 

 Controlling traffic.

 Physical Observation

On entering the premises of the police station, I observed the following thing:

1) Reception: On the left hand, as we entered the main gate inside the station, there was a
reception which consisted of a big wooden table. It was headed by a lady constable. It is a place
from where the complaint is directed to the respective duty officer. No FIR is lodged in this
section but only the entries are done.

3) Armour cell: There I got to know about what armours our police are using like bullet proof
jacket, service pistol, Glock 21 pistol, and Thomet MP9.

4) Women Help Desk: To make the women feel secured and comfortable, a separate Women
Help Desk has been created. A lady constable is present at this help desk who deals with the
women who are either complainants or needs some information.

5) Duty Officer: Duty officer is a person who lodges the FIR and tells the respective officer
about the report. He maintains the daily diary and puts entry in them. In case of cognizable
offence, he lodges FIR (First Information report) while an NCR (Non-Cognizable Repot) is filled
in case of non-cognizable offences. He also maintains the PCR calls.

6) Police Maalkhana: It is one of the most important parts of a police station. It is a room where
case property is kept. A proper register is maintained for this purpose and this is done by Head
Constable. These items are collected from the place of crime and are maintained for further trial.
These items send to Forensic labs for testing.

7) Investigation room: There is a room in the police station where a person weather accused or
witness can be detained for some time by the investigation officer for enquiring.

8) Record Room: All files are maintained here. The record of various offences and their details,
PCR call record, bail register, FIR record and other information are maintained here. The
registers are given no. and designated by those no. only for example conviction record is
maintained in register no.- 5, criminal record is maintained in register no.-9.

9) Computer Room: There is a separate room assigned for computer records. The FIR is now
recorded in computerized form after the year of 2007. And all the data of police station saved on
his website. This website is police personal website.
10) Wireless Room: The call is directed from the headquarter to the wireless room of the police
station. When a crime commits then the headquarter inform in police station through the wireless
in which area the crime commits.

11) Police Lock-Up: There are separate lock-ups for male and female. It is two in number. A
proper sanitation facility is there. Rooms have sanitation facilities but no switchboards or fans,
nails or any sharp edges which might help to commit suicide or harm themselves in any form.
 Personal analysis

We got a chance to visit the police station at Bani Park, Jaipur. There we were attended by
constable names Ramesh. Then after convincing him we got a chance to meet the SHO (Station
House Officer). There he asked for the authority letter of the college. But college didn’t provide
us the letter. Then after a struggle he allowed me to visit the police station after showing my
college ID card. There he took me to his office and asked some questions like why you want to
visit and What is the purpose of visit. After some conversation he told me about the functioning
of the police station, powers of SHO, condition of the area under this police station, kinds of
cases that they were dealing on regular basis, etc. and his last experience in cyber cell. Also, he
told me about the history of that police station.
There I visited the building of police station in which different rooms were assigned to different
departments. There was a armour cell in which all the arms of the police were kept and a
constable was there in the room, computer room was there in which all the records of the
complaints and cases were recorded, another room was assigned to mahila suraksha cell in which
three female constables were there. Another room was there in which all the written records since
from the day police station started were stored. I was amazed to know that this police station is
maintaining the record from 2001. Then I got to know about police diary. There was a case diary
in which all the day to day works were written like who visited the police station, number of FIRs
in the police station, name of the officials working in the police station etc. There are two kinds of
diaries. First is the station diary in which every action, movement, event, incident related to
Police stations functioning, officers and policemen movements, and incidents in police stations
area, calls from other police stations, from public, registration of FIR are all recorded in
chronological order. This diary is the most important because is the diary of authentication. It can
save a police officer from disciplinary or legal actions against him. Another diary is NC register.
In this register petty complaints like abusing, quarrels etc. are recorded. Also, they refused to give
copy of FIR and strictly ordered not to click any picture inside the premises and it is illegal to
have the copy of FIR with any authorization. I was also shown the format of charge sheet and its
components and was told that it is filed after the investigation is completed within 90 days of the
commission of crime in case of murder and within 60 days in case of other crimes. There were
two lockups in the police station one for the male and another for female. Whenever a person is
arrested, a memo is formed by the officer who arrested the person. It should contain time and date
of the arrestee. Also a friend of the arrestee or any known person is informed about the arrestee
within 8 to 12hrs. . Further he stated that arrestees are permitted to meet their lawyers and that the
copies of all the relevant documents such as FIR, arrest memo, etc. are required to be sent to the
magistrate.

I was glad to meet the police officer and was stunned that how polite he is and how helpful he is.
I am very thankful to Mr. Ramlal Sharma to clear my orthodoxy about police in our country. I am
very thankful to each and every police officer who is maintaining law and order in our country. I
would also like to thank our Professor Mr. Neeraj Gupta for giving us such opportunity to visit
police station and to look at the actual functioning of law and order.

INTRODUCTION

An Executive Magistrate is an officer of the Executive branch (as opposed to the Judicial

branch) who is invested with specific powers under both the CrPC and the Indian Penal Code
(IPC). ... Technically, the police are to assist the Executive Magistrate. Under CrPC section 20 it
is mentioned that in every district and every Metropolitan Area, the state may appoint as many
persons as it thinks fit to be Executive Magistrates and shall appoint one of them to be a district
magistrate. There are two types of Magistrate, first is Judicial magistrate and the second is
Executive Magistrate.Former are in the control of High Court and the later are in the control of
state government. Executive magistrate basically deals with the matters which are administrative
or executive in nature such as the granting of license, suspension of license, sanctioning a
prosecution or withdrawing from a prosecution. Executive Magistrate are appointed by state
government and may be appointed for not only district by also for metropolitan areas. State govt.
can also appoint any executive magistrate as Additional District Magistrate and such magistrate

PERSONAL ANALYSIS
I got a chance to visit executive magistrate office at gheekanta, badra, Ahmedabad on 2 Sep.
2018. There Mr. RS Solanki were posted as Executive Magistrate. I interacted with him for half
an hour and I got to know about various powers of EM. I got to know that appointment of EM is
defined under sec. 20 of CrPC in which various procedures like how to appoint, when to appoint,
how many executive magistrates, etc. Also, when office of DM is vacant, any officer succeeds
temporarily and has all the powers as of District Magistrate. There I also got to know about the
difference between District Collector and District Magistrate or Executive Magistrate.
The administration officer when performs the following functions, he is termed as District
Collector [DC]:
1. Land assessment
2. Land acquisition
3. Collection of land revenue.
4. Collection of various taxes.
5. Distribution of agricultural loans.
If he performs following duties:
1. Maintenance of law and order.
2. Supervision of subordinate executive.
3. Supervision of police and jails.
Then he is called District Magistrate [DM] or Executive Magistrate
Local Jurisdiction of EM
 Subject to the control of the state government, the district magistrate may, from time to
time define the limits of the areas within which the executive magistrate may exercise all
or any of the powers with which they may be invested under this code.
 Except as otherwise provided by such definition, the jurisdiction and powers of every such
magistrate shall extend throughout the district.

Powers of Executive Magistrate

 When a warrant directed to police officer is to be executed beyond the local jurisdiction of
the court issuing the same, he shall ordinarily take it for endorsement either to an
executive magistrate or to a police officer not below the rank of an officer of a police
station, within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the warrant has to be executed.
 When an executive magistrate acts judicially, say for instance, when he holds an enquiry
u/s 116 CrPC in connection with a security proceeding u/s 107 of CrPC he functions as a
court but when he does something purely administrative or executive in nature, he does
not perform the role of a court. When an Executive Magistrate, in exercise of the power
vested in him u/s 129 of CrPC commands an unlawful assembly to disperse, he is acting
as an officer having administrative power not under a judicial power.

All these are some basic information that I got from the District Magistrate Mr. RS Solanki. I m
very grateful to meet him and he was very polite and was very compromising nature. I give my
thanks to him for giving his precious time and giving me some necessary and basic information
about his post.
