Head Constable 4 0 0 Ditto

If the duty lasts more than five hours per day or four hours per night, relief will be provided

(3) All sums recovered under this Rule shall be credited to the head XXIII - police collection
of payments for services rendered, receipt on account of additional police under
sections 13, 14 and 15 of Police Act 5 of 1861 and at the end of the month, recovery shall
be made from the treasury on special additional police pay bills for disbursement to the
actual police officers, in accordance with the principles laid down in Inspector-General’s
letter No. 106-S/95-4-B-27-A, dated the 31st May, 1928, namely that remuneration shall
only be given when the extra duties performed involve less than 24 hours’ absence from
normal duty. Thus if a constable is deputed to attend a private function, such as a wedding,
which involves his absence from normal duty throughout the whole of one working
day, say from sunrise to midnight, he will be considered as having performed over-time
duty and will be entitled to extra remuneration, but should the duty involve his absence
from sunrise to sunset of the following day, he will not be considered as on over-time duty
and will be entitled to no remuneration in addition to his pay. Superintendents may, however,
use their discretion in dealing with cases in which, in their opinion, the 24-hour rule
cannot in fairness be applied.
(4) In deciding when to supply police at the public expense, and when to charge the promoters
of a particular function, Superintendents shall be guided by the general principle
that the regular police establishment is required to perform all the duties of maintaining
public order, which fall within scope of section 31 of the Police Act. When special arrangements
are necessary or desired over and above those which the general public
interests demand, the person or persons responsible for the assembly concerned should
pay for additional police. The law does not permit of compulsion being exercised in this
matter, but Superintendents may tender their advice and indicate that no more police than
are necessary to prevent obstruction to the general public will be provided unless paid for.
Note:- Government has ordered that "if any sect requires, in religious processions organized by
them, the assistance of the police to maintain order, to such an extent as to necessitate extra
expenditure by bringing a larger police force together, or otherwise, the cost should invariably
be charged to the persons requiring the extra police protection and the same should be
paid before the procession is allowed to take place" (Home Department No. 1073 of 14th
March, 1878). This order does not mean that charges shall be levied for the supply of police
to processions of ancient and regularly exercised custom in cases where the supply is not in
excess of that given for a series of years, and the practice has been to give such supply for
a long period without charge.

Rule 2.15
