see Punjab Public Works Department, Buildings and Roads Branch, Manual of Orders,
Chapter 9.
Rule 3.28
3.28. Register of police lands. - A register in Form 3.28 shall be maintained by each
Superintendent of all land which is Government property occupied by the Police, showing
the exact area of each plot so occupied. The register should give the exact measurements
and boundaries and in the case of rural lands, the khasra numbers. Officers in immediate
charge of the properties in question are required to check periodically the entries in the
register, and to report at once any instances in which encroachments have been made.
Note :- In accordance with the rules of the Public Works Department all title deeds of houses or
lands purchased for public works purposes are deposited with the Deputy Commissioners of
the districts in which such lands or buildings are situated.
Rule 3.29
3.29. Sanction of Government to occupy, sell, lease or build upon police lands. - No
person may occupy or build upon Government land without the express sanction of Government.
No land in occupation of the police department may be sold or leased for any
purpose without sanction of Government obtained through the Inspector-General.
Rule 3.30
3.30. Boundaries to be demarcated. - The boundaries of all police lands shall be carefully
demarcated, as funds may permit, by permanent masonry marks or walls, and, until
such marks or walls can be erected, by small trenches and hedges. All such lands shall
be recorded in the nazul register in English with a note that they are in the occupation of
the police.
Rule 3.31
3.31. Sale of produce etc. from police lands. - Punjab Government Consolidated Circular
No. 6 requires that the value of the produce of lands in the occupation of
Government departments should be realized for the benefit of Government and credited
to the treasury as police land fund revenue. The object in view is not that supervising and
executive police officers should occupy themselves in the attempt to farm land at a profit,
but that all natural products, such as loppings of trees, grass and fruit should be disposed
of for the benefit of Government and should not be misappropriated.
The police department requires land for the housing, training and recreation of the force
and for the pitching of temporary camps in the vicinity of police buildings. In addition
to space for parades and the pitching of camps of inspecting officers, and for the building
of married quarters for subordinates where necessary, it is desirable to occupy sufficient
ground in the vicinity of rural police stations to permit of a small garden being kept up,
in which vegetables and the like may be grown by the staff for their own consumption.
A total area of approximately two acres is sufficient for all these requirements and land
in excess of this amount should not normally be acquired. Where land is held by the police
in excess of requirements, the facts should be brought to the notice of the
Inspector-General.
Rule 3.32
3.32. Cleanliness and keeping of animals in police building and quarters. - (1) Police
buildings and quarters shall be kept perfectly clean, and the furniture and other
property in them shall be arranged in an orderly way. The ground in the vicinity of police
buildings shall be kept clean and free from objectionable matter.
(2) Except in pounds and stables, horses and other animals shall not be kept inside police
buildings, or enclosures, or in objectionable proximity to them.
(3) Police officers residing in police buildings or quarters shall not keep any buffaloes,
cows or other animals without the sanction of the Superintendent of Police, which shall
be granted only when proper accommodation exists for such animals to which they must
be confined. In no case shall permission be granted to erect accommodation for animals.
