The increase in reported cognizable crime, the d tailP of wbi b a \ · tn

paragraph 4, is due, mninly, to the 8!1 me roo ons which led to an in rea in L preceding year, namely, geneml and & rious rise in the price of food, which in th year under report was accentuated by the failure of the mona on and th sburta~ of food-stuffs, rise in the prices of cloth and in the cost f living g o mJly, ou I o to the prevalence of ~lague in certain districts, causing vn untion ( \\ll

and villages. The distncts recording the most prominent ri undor tb 1 odt u Penal Code were :-the G. I. P. Railwny (671 cnsea), Poonn (637), Na ik ( 36), ~ J • mednagar (403), B. B. & C. I. Railway (313), East ]).hand h ( 2), W t Kh nu h (248), Belgaum (245) and Kaira (191). On the other hand, und r eta VI U th districts, except Surat. Thana, West Khnndesh, holapur, Bclgnum, Bijnpur B. B. & C. 1. Railway, which have returned insignificant increos ~t, show a drclw .

A contributory cause in the large record of crime in the case of the 1, n • Nasik and Ahmcdnagar Districts was the increase in tbe number of foU w ra Wltli the military forces stationed there, and in addition in the en e of Poonn no ·n 1k, inability of the police to watch efficiently the criminal portion of th v pul tJ n owing to large number of vacancie11 throughout the year.

The additional causes in the case of the G. I. P. and B. B. & C. I . Raih' and the Kaira District are mentioned below :-

G. I. P. Rail1DCJy.l ( 1) When the carrying of trcaauro by rail was prohibi , t d re n-

deavoured to trans~ort surreptitiouslr. the coin whi h tb y h d obtnin 1 r r <Jurrency notes. This led to corrupt bnbing of railway serva.nta nd tu tJ,i vm .

(2) The enormoua accumulation of paroela wh n p urc of mHi ry traffic was heavy afforded extended opporturuti for pilfemg .

(3) The systematic looting of goods trnina w an in vi I r ul.t, high prices and food-shortage. /

Whilst on this subject, I would like to invite attention to the following remarks l>y the District Superintendent of Police, Kaira :- .

" It will bo noticed that sanction to prosecute has been given in a larger percentage of r&.•c! than uoua\. This is a dcliberoto policy. If the case has been classed as • n ' and there :• rrnllt•uablo proof nr:nffist tho nccusod, prosecution ahould not be stayed merely on account of

. "It was during the last two or three months that the aea!!On finally declared iw!l aa one of scaTCity and naturally this was rellected in the state of crime, which presumably inrrra.oeJ towards the end of the year, nnd this ia apparently the canse of the rise in I"'nding and Ull·

as follows :- ' . .

"The increase ia due to the increase in reported crime and abo to the fact thAt the inJ!u<·nza epidemic prevented investigating officers from completing enquiries. Tho wge nurober of cases pending disposal by Magistrates is aL!o due to inllucnza a.nd rcmi ... ion work duo to Lo.J inundatio11."

" In 3:J prr cent. of the CllllCS in which tlie scene was not visited the reason 'given for non­visitation wa• tho immediate arrest of the oiicnder. The rule on this subject (paragraph 504 (7), l'olicc Manual) i• that the Superintendent or the Assistant Superintendent need not proceed to tho ~pot, Lut iu view of tho number of recent cases (3 in Belgaum in 1917,2 in Belgaum in 1918 und:! in DhnrwiLl in 1918, which, though·detccted at once by subordinate officers, subsequently fuileJ 011 ing to want o/ cvi•lcnrc, it would seem advisable that tho rule should be deleted. The in"trurtions in purnsrnph C.O I (1) and (2) are clear and sujlicient. In Jlijapur the scene of crime in ocl'rn serious cases was n<..t vi•itcd by the District Superintendent because that officer was rngn~-:•·J at the time in invcstisation of other serious offences. In such cases and when an Assist­ant t-;uperintendent is not available it would 8cem to be a matter for consideration whether the ui•ting orders concerning investigations by Deputy Superintendents outside headquarters should not Lo made more clastic. A matter on which insistence needs to be laid, is the necessity for. immcJi~tc in\'cstigation of serious crime on the ~pot. This duty must have. priority over in•1wct ions." · ·

Ct.mm<'nting on tho large number (126 out o! 334) of unvisited scenes of serious nimo in Sind, the Commissioner remarks :-

" The CommiR~~ioner fully realises tha& the conditions in Sind preclude officers from moving· al.out thdr districts during the hot weather and the inundation season 8R frcelv as they do in the l'rc•it.!ency rroper; he is, however, compelled t0 observe that in almost' every District SUJ><'rintcndents ha\·e not infrequently refrained from the personal investigation on the spot on tho )•l<'ll that the accull<'d persons have been artested. The prompt arrest of the accused does not, howenr, ab110h·e officers from liability to visit the scenes prrsonally and the Commissioner is taking strJ>B to in1prcM upon the Supcrinte.ndents their responsibility in such cases."

On thl' railway£ in,tho Presidency Prorer where scenes of five out of ten cases mnain<'u unvisited; tho reasons advanced by tl-.e Superintendents of Police are satisfattury.·

The inspection work was satisfactory in the Northern and Southern Dhisions. The· Comrrussioner, Central Division, and the Commissioner in·Sind mnke the following observations :- •

The Commissioner, Central Division :-

' "In all29 police stations and 61 outposts remained unvis.ired a~n.irut 3 and 15 ·not vi.oitrJ in 1917. 7 police stations and IG outposts remn.ined unin.•pected in Wut Khandeah (JI\mg to the ill health of the late Ur. Power. lnllucnza aL!o inrerfcred with in•pection.

33. During the year under report there was no change in' the armament of the force. The arming of the Inspectors and Sub-

ITATEMEIIT E. Armament. Inspectors with Webley rcvohrcrs contin1;1cd to be in abeyance in consequenco of the inability of the Arsenal authorities to supply revol· \'era. llecent cxperienco in the Ahme:dabad and Kaira Districts has. proved that it is rascntial that Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors should be armed wrth revolvers as soon as poaniblo. It is not to be expected that thrse officers will face angry e.nd truculent moLs ·with guns and other dangerous weapons in their hands unler~ tl e ofnccrs carry fire-anna.

A ~pccial effort will, therefore, be made to obtain the required number of rc\'olnrs.

34. Tho year recorded a further decrease in the total number o£ punishments, P lab

11 the number of officers and men punished being 2,025

un men' asagainst2,230m1917,2,670in1916and2,900inl915. The pcrcrnta~o of J:lunishments to the actual strength of the force was 8 '73 against o·Go m 1017, u·08 m 1016 and 11"6 in 1015. Ofthe total2,025 punishments,I,931 · \IWO departmental and 9! judicial against 2,121 and 118 respectively in the pre· reJing year. Tl1e Southern DiviEion has again returned the lowest percentage (.a·G nt:ainat o·ao in 1917) of punishments, whilst the fluctuations elsewhere &re inuigmfirant. In the Northcn1 Division, 1\aira with 17·8 yielded the highest per· rentage of punishm<'nts e.nd the Panch Mahala with 2·0 the lowest. In the Centre.! Divi:lion,Satara with 15"3 was tho highrst and Nasik "ith 2'5 once more the lowest.~ In tho Southern Diviaion, Dharwar once again returned the highest percentage 1 o·o& though rol'sidcrably lower than that in the :rreceding year, namely, 17'56, at:d llclgaum with 0"5 showod the lowest percentage m the whole Pre~idency. In Sind the highest prrcrntage was liS the last year on the Sind Railways and the lowe~t on tho Riverain. ·

Tho steady dt>crcnso in ·the total number of punishments represents a sa tis· factory fl'nturo of rolice administration in recent years. Fears arc, howe\'er, npre~s~·d that undue leniency has induced deterioration in discipline. Thus the Commis~ionrr, Northrrn Division, invites attention to the following remarks by tho District Superintendent of Police, Ahmedabad:-

"The diminution in the numbel' of punishments must not be rPgarded a.s an indication of any irupronmrnt in the di.clpline of the fon:o. It merely means that in the existing circum· •tanco.•s the bliu<l •Y• baa o(t~n to be turned on faults which under other oonditiona would be 'i.:;iteJ "ith richly de•ervrd runishments. The standard of discipline, it mW!t be admitted, i3

The Drputy lr.spcctor-Genernl of 1\>lico, ~orthcm Hnnf:;~. in ogm·in" \lith these remarks, hes added "the uisl·iiline of tho wlwle f••n·t• in t!.c Rill'::~ h:H

and in the Thar and Parkar Dbtrict, tho Deputy Inspcctor-Gcnrral (of l'<•lin•, f'iri,J, rrrnarks :-

" As remarked la.<t year diecipline on the railway was LaJ. Tho ]K•lirc in the Thar an.l Parkar District arc al30 wanting in dieciplinc, they do not like the Di•trict anJ try tlll'ir t •.. ,t t ... get out of it."

The crux of this question of disciplir.o and punisllm~nt is tho payment to tho cowtabulary of a rcallh·ing \\ago and the introduction of other rueasun·:~ thnt will mP.ke police tervice really nttroctive and that will fill it with contcntetl sdf. respecting men. I havo recently proposed an enhancement of the wnr nllownncr~ admissible to the constabulary as a temporary expedient, antl I shall shortly submit further proposal~ with this end in view.

35. It is satisfactory to notice that sinro 1016 rewonls of nil kinus havo Lr.•n

••ar · lowing figures of totals of rewards:-1015 • • 0,030 1016 • • 10,573 1017 .. 12,420 lll18 • • 14,531

The percentnge of officers and men rewarueu to the actual forco stood at 62'77 against 53'63 in 1917. The increase is shared by most Districts, tho most ruarkeJ being in Satara, Belgaum, Ahmedabad and Katachi. On tho otLcr hand, thrroJ '~as a substantial decrecse in Thana from !l25 to 377 and Dharwar from 681 to 43 &. The causes that led to these decre:>.ses are of a temporary nnd removable llllturt', and I shall take steps to remedy them.

rc·n and an increase of 59 i.1 the number of men as compared with the figur~3 fvr 1 !117.

IOH • • 1,527 1015 .. 1,818 ' 1016 • • 1,573 1017 .. 1,42.5 1!>18 • • l,OGO

The dcrrenho !.us been shared by all the Dh-isions, Sind a~d Haih~ays, and i! t•rohaLiy due to the grant of war allowance and also to the hopes entertained of obtaining in the inuncdiate future a revision of the rates of pay and allO\~anres.

38. The vacancies fell from 2,519 in 1017 (2,155 in the. Presidency Proper and 3M in Sind) to 2,39! (2,130 in the Presidency

v .. ancl• and r .. rulllnr. Proper and 26! in Sind). The number was, however, considerably ln.rgcr than the number in the three years preceding 1917, namely, l,G!J7 in 1010, 001 in 11H5 and 780 in 1914. ·_ The districts returning the largest numLl'r of vacancies were Poona (247), Ahmedabad (212), Thana (208), · Nasik (203), Hurat (163), Pcnch llfahals (130), Thar and Parkar (119),- Dhamar (10.3) and Droach (103). · •

As rr_gards recruitment in Sind, tho Deputy Inspector-Gel,leml of Police of that l'wnnco observes:- · - ·

"The number of men enli.itcd during the year was 1,146 as against 863 in 1~17 and 1900 in 1010. The dilficulties mentioned in tl1e previous years' reports have disappearPd owing to the c••ssatiun of the War. Dut owing to high prices of foodstufis better' pay is urgently neede<l. In order to keep up the full sanctioned strength I have had to sanction the enlistment of -36& men who wero uaJer•iz•·d or overage, whereas l118t year 314 such men were enlisted. I have recently iMucd in~tructioos not to enlist such men as the War ia now over and recruits of the right Btnmp should be forthcoming." - ·

In the Pl'('tlid!'ncy Proicrnlso there were more enlistments in 1!>18 thnn in 1917, nam<'ly, 1,476 as against 072. ·During the quinquennium ending 31st Deccmbrr lOIS the number of men who left the force under all conditions inclusive of hy dratha w.u U,oG5; out of these, however, only 2,257 retired on pension ora pcrcrn­tago of 15'49 only. Since tho close of tho year revised rates of pay end war allow­uuces ha,·o hcc·n introduced, and the number of vacancies has fallen. As pointl"d out in a recent rrport, however, further measures in the same direction are still rl•quirrd if the forro is to be filled with recruita possessing the qualifications thr.t modern conditions demand. '· ·

39. Tho statistics rrlative to the health of the force show thnt there was an lloaltll. improYement in cert!l.in districts and a deterioration

, in others, the number coming under the letter category being srrntrr thnn that under the former. .

45. In the Presidency Proper a total of 5,2()9 armed police, foot and mount eJ, Muskelrf, went ~hrough the ann~l musketry course a~:~i11!t

5,580 m 1917 and 5,824 m IIllO. The decreMO In the total number is due to the reduction of the mounted police and 'to the 'acantir~. The number who secured marksmen's badges was 2,270 as against 2,3:i8 in I 017 and 2,30!J in 1910. The percentage of marksmen to armed strength dropped to 33'47 from 34'23 in 1917, but that of marksmen to the men put through tho cour·•e rose from 39"30 to 40"20 in the year under report. The variations arc not significant and need not be discussed.

Among districts, Belgaum has maintained its position at the tor of the li~t. whilst improvement in shooting has been secured by Kannra, East J{han•lc~h, Kaira, Dharnar, Ahmedabad, Dijapur, West Khandcsh and B. D. & C. I. Unilway. On the other hand, the remaining districts show a deterioration.

In the Province of Sind the number of marksmen was more than douLI<', nam~ly, 321 in 1!l17 and 051 in the year under report. Improvement was rcconJ,·d in all the districts' except Thar and Parkar, the most marked rise being in Upp•r Sind Frontier from 40 to 115, Sukkur from 01 to 12!1 and Larkann from 67 to 1~8.

Tho Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Sind, in noticing tho improvcmrt•t remarks:- ·

Thirteen men escaped frcm the settlement in the Nawabshah district, of whoptt only three have Leen re-arrested. Three men absconded from the Sa~gh~r s~ttle­mcnt in the Thar a.nd Parkar district, two were re-captured, but the thlfd ts still at. large. One Hur escaped from the Visapur settlement on the 3rd September 1917 and was captured in the Thar and Parkar district on the 31st January 1918. One llur escaped from the llyderabad jail but was fortunately re-arrest~d before he could g~t to the 1\fakhi Dhand where he would probably soon have ratsed a ~ang.

5· C;~.ses struck or£ as fals" numbered. :Z,555 as against 2,704 for the . preceding year, the percentage on the total number of

E<el.dod cu... cases for disposal working out at t8'56, the lowest (or the r1uinqucnnill period 1914-1918.. · ·

462 cases were declared to be malici?usly false, a.nd. prosecution~ were under· taken in 76 of these cases, the results bemg 23 convtctlons, 9 acquttt?-!s .and 44 cases still pt"nding. Deducting pending cases, the percentage of. CO!J~Icttons was 71'87. Although the number of false cases may be regarde~ as. sattsfa~tory as being the lowest rrcordcd during the past three years, there IS still constderable room for improverpent. ·

Section 250, Criminal Procedure Code, was applied in 87 cases as against ~3 in 1917, while the compensation awarded amounted toRs. 2,615 as compared wtth Rs. 2,98~ for the preceding year. There was no appreciable improvement on the figures oi the previous years, but it is satisfactory to note that District Magistrates arc payin~ increased attention to the use of this section,

6, The total number of Indian Penal' Code c;u;es for disposal amounted to 8,820 of which 2,631 or 29'83 per cent. ended in convict.ion as against 32'18 per·

. cent.. i~ 1917 and 33'4 per cent. in 1916. Notable decrease in the .number of convtcllons occurred under classes I, lV and V. · · _ ,

·The percentage however of conviction~ to cases tried showed a marked i.mprove-ment in all classes except class VI where there was a fall from 92'51 to 84·67. .

The proportion of undetected cases to true cases for disposal rose to 57'15· per cent., the highest for the past five years. All the districts except Karachi contributed to this increase. As pointed out in previous years, there is an absence of really efficient detective arran~ements and a substantive improvement can be expected only on the introduction cif the reor~nisation scheme now under the consideration of Government. ·

· The high· percentage of convictions obtained in cases under the· Abkari Opium, Salt, Customs and Arms Act was a gratifying feature of the year's work. '

7· There was a still further decline during the year in the results achieved Stol•n propert7, in connection with the recovery of stolen property; the

percentage of property recovered fell from 34'3 in 1917 to 32·86 and of person~ who received back their stolen property from 49'69 to 46·64.

. \ -8, The number of pers?n~ proceeded against under Chapter VIII of the

lt~bitual alme. Cnmmal P~cedure ~ode ":as 874, an increase of 1o . . over the prevtous years figures. · The number ordered

to fumtsh s~~unty. was 461 of whom 105 were released on security and 356 were sent to J=UI, whtle the cases of :z6o persons were still pending at the close of the ye;'lr. The results, thou~h not se ~;ood as those of last year, may be regarded · as sattsfactory. Thar and Parkar leq m the matter of convictions with 118 eases followed close by Lar~ana with 114. '

Of .the ~6o persons con~crned in pending cases the SukiWr district was rej,onstble for 114, the explanation being that the bulk of the prosecutions were un crtakrn at the c)o.se of the year. There was a decrease from a6t to 10 in the number of prosccultons undertaken in the Hyderabad district, which is at&ibutcd

. to frequect changes in the superior p<·r::onnd of the di~tric.t. The low J'<'fl'~nl.lt;C of convi~tions in the same di~tric.t, .39· 4l, is attributed in p.ut to the f.Jc.t tli.lt p:~s:cutiOnS ~rere Uml<;rtakcn Wholesale by an lnspccto: llll:l~'iU:JlllltJ with hi:1 diviSIOn. Th1s emphas1ses the need of the utmost dlscrclicm and circumspNtivn in the preparation of Chapter VIII cases. ·

9· The general question of the action to be t:~kcn again't c.riminl.ltril•rs c .. 1 tr'beJ il'l the province is still unsettled. The appnintmrnt

cases returned as serious 127 were \·isitcd by Supenntendcnts and As,-i~tant Superint,.ndents and S 1 by Deputy Superintendents. The hi.r:h proportion t•l unvisited cases in the llydcrabad district was due in part to the dLSm.lntl•n.f: o( the Dadin Railway. · ·

The Commissione: fully realises that the conditions in Sind preclude officrr 3

from moving about their districts during the hot weather ami the inuntbtion season as freely as they do in the Presidency proper· he is however compelled to ob~cn·c that in almost every district Superintendents have not infrequently rdr:tincd from· the personal investigation on the spot on the plea that the accused p~rsons have been arrested. The prompt arrest of the accused docs not however absoh·c officers from liability 1 to Yisit the scenes personally and the Commissioner i ... taking steps to impress upon the Superintendents their responsibility in such case~.

· , The inspection of police•stations and outposts by Superintendents 'and Ass1stant Supcrint~ndents shows a marked improvement; the number of police· stations visited was 111 out of a total of 130, of outposts iso out of a total of 325. It will be observed that nearly so per cent. of the police-stations and out}'losts in the Thar and Parkar district remained uninspected; this is to rome extent explained by the fact that the usual difficulties of touring in the Desert circle were accentuated this year by the prevailing scarcity and drought and the consequent impossibility of securing suitable camels. Influenza was rcsponsil..lc for the failure of the District Superintendent of Police, lfydcrabad, and the Assistant Superintendent of Police, Larbpa, to visit a large number of the outposts in their charges. '

1 1. The cases pending before the police and· the mlgistracy rose by r d' nearl.y so per cent. from I,Jl7, in 1917 to 1 ,9-J'J. "' '"'- This IS sufficiently explained by the increase in reported

crime and by the influenza epidemic, which on the one hand prevented investii;~t· ~ng officers from completing enquiries and on the other hindered maJ;i5trates in

the disposal of cases. The latter officers were further handicapped by the heavy remission work entailed on them in consequence o( the bad inundation •

. Of the pending cases the magistracy . were rcsponsil..le for approximately tw~ thirds. It is satisfactory to note that the percentage· of conv1ctions to trials in Sessions Courts rose from 66•4 to 70"16.

• 12. There was a further decrease in the total number of punishments

1 r....w adm' i>tr.UO.. inflicted on officers and men. The figures· for the • •• several districts exhibit the same ,·ariations as were

remarked on last year, but the explanation in respect of the Railway and the Tbar and Parkar police, that they were necessitated by the bad discipline pre•

· vailing among the men, may be accepted. •

T~e Deput.Y Inspector•Gcneral of Police has rightly laid stress on the ncce.ss,ty of the ampro\'ement of the conditions of service : ·and this necessity· arphl'S throughout all bl'adl:S of the force.
