The Police is a key agency of the Criminal Justice administration and responsible for performing multi-facet functions such’ as’ the prevention of crime, maintenance of law and order, conduct of investigation of crimes, production of under trials before the Courts and post sentence surveillance over the criminals: etc. In view of the functional’ peculiarities the Police tends to become the frontal’ formal agency to come in contact, with the raw realities a/crime including the accused and the victims.

The Police, functions within the legal framework of the Constitutional and the Municipal Laws that comprise mainly of the Constitution of India, 1950, The Code of criminal Procedure, 1973, the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 and the Police Act etc. Apart of it Supreme Court Judgments also play vital role. Judgments of the Supreme Court of India which are accorded the highest precedential value in terms of the Article 141 of the Constitution which reads : The Law declared by the Supreme Court shall be binding on all courts within’ the Territory of India”. Thus for all the courts as well as, other State agencies, the Supreme court, rulings, constitute the binding law, violation of which can ‘entail contempt proceedings.

All this accords to the large number of Supreme Court and High Court rulings relating to the various aspects of Police functioning immense significance not only for the legal professionals, but also for the rank and file of the Police Force. This book is proposed to design for reference of police officer in terms of judicial pronouncements.
