| A request may be made to the District Superintendent of Police for making
police arrangements for maintenance of order and protection of property
by promoters of private gatherings or entertainments, such as marriages,
social functions, music nights etc. Such arrangements may be made under
section 13 of the Police Act of 1861, as per the discretion of the Superintendent
of Police on payment of prescribed charges. The deployment under this rule
shall be made only after the receipt of the full payment in advance. The
Superintendent of Police may, however, make police arrangements necessary
for maintaining law and order and public peace irrespective of whether or
not a private application has been submitted in this regard. In deciding
when to supply police at the public expense, and when to charge the promoters
of a particular function, Superintendent of Police is guided by the general
principle that the regular police establishment is required to maintain
public order under section 31 of the Police Act of 1861. When special
arrangements are necessary or desired over and above those that the general
public interests demand, the person or persons responsible for the assembly
concerned should pay for additional police. The Superintendent of Police
may tender advice to the promoters of a private gathering that no more
police than are necessary to prevent obstruction to the general public
will be provided unless paid for.
Whenever police is provided to guard or escort treasure or valuable property,
its duty is confined to the watching of outer locks and fastenings and to
the prevention of unauthorized access to them. The keys of the locks will
not be entrusted to the police and they shall not be deemed responsible
for the contents of buildings, boxes and the like committed to their charge.
An applicant for police arrangements must ensure proper accommodation
for the police officers on duty to the satisfaction of the Superintendent
of Police.
The scale of charges recoverable from institutions/private persons for the
supply of police force, has been laid down by the Haryana Government as
