Superior police officer may perform duties of a sub-ordinate police officer

A police officer of a rank superior to that of a constable may perform any duty assigned by law or by a lawful order to any officer subordinate to him and in the case of any duty imposed on such subordinate, a superior may aid, supplement, supersede or prevent any action of such subordinate by his own action or that of any person lawfully acting under his command or authority, whenever the same shall appear necessary or expedient for giving more complete or convenient effect to the law or for avoiding any infringement thereof. Such additional police shall be employed at the cost ( which shall be determined by the Commissioner in accordance with the rules made in this behalf) of the person making the application, but shall be subject to the orders of the police authorities and shall be employed for such period as the Commissioner considers necessary. If the person, upon whose application such additional police are employed, makes at any time a written requisition to the Commissioner for withdrawal of the said police such person shall be relieved from the cost thereof at the expiration of such period not exceeding one week from the date of delivery of such requisition as the Commissioner shall determine. Where there is any dispute as to the amount to be paid by way of cost, the Commissioner shall, on an application made in that behalf by the aggrieved party, refer the matter to the Government or any authority nominated by the Government, whose decision thereon shall be final.
