He shall exercise no executive authority in matters which concern solely theinternal administration and training of the force, or in questions of discipline as betweenpolice officers and their departmental superiors, but his general control extends to allother matters. In all that affects the relations between the police and public or the keepingof the public peace, the District Magistrate must be consulted and his orders compliedwith.He may (a) require the Superintendent to furnish him with any documents relating to theconduct of any subordinate enrolled police officer in any case in which the conduct orcharacter of such police officer is likely to affect his dealings with the public or the prevention and detection of crime; (b) direct the Superintendent to enquire into anyallegation of misconduct or neglect of duty on the part of any subordinate enrolled policeofficer in any case in which such misconduct or neglect of duty affects, or is likely to affect, such officer’s dealings with the public, or the prevention and detection of crime, andto submit the record to superior police authority; and (c) direct the Superintendent to furnish information on any matter connected with crime, the criminal classes, the preventionof disorder or the distribution of the police force, or on any other matter not connectedsolely with the internal administration of the force.In exercising his powers of control, the District Magistrate should avoid doing anythingto weaken the authority of the Superintendent.

He has, therefore, the same authority to call for informationand to inspect police stations which he has in respect of the district police, and the same interest in the prevention, detection and prosecution of railway crime as in the case of districtcrime.Rule 1.161.16. Duties of Superintendent towards District Magistrate. - The primary duty ofthe Superintendent of Police is to afford the District Magistrate the utmost possible assistance, both himself and through the police force under his command in the preservationof the peace and the prevention or detection of crime.

While it is his duty to initiate action by the police in such matters,he must keep the District Magistrate informed and be guided by his orders.The Superintendent of Police shall keep the District Magistrate informed of his movements generally when away from headquarters, and shall conform to his wishes shouldthe District Magistrate, for reasons connected with the criminal administration of the district, require the Superintendent of Police to proceed to any place in the District or toremain at headquarters at any time.

Similarly, if he considers that any policeofficer should be called on to explain his conduct, he shall report the facts of the case tothe District Magistrate, who will take such action as he considers necessary.Rule 1.191.19. Sub-divisional and sub-ordinate magistrates - Co-operation with. - Sub-divisional and subordinate Magistrates are held strictly responsible, under the control of theDistrict Magistrate, for the maintenance, of the peace of the area which is made over totheir charge; though they have no extra-judicial authority over the police, they are notmerely judges. The law gives them many more powers than those required for hearingcases, and they are interested in every crime in their jurisdiction from the moment of itscommission. The maintenance of law and order and the suppression of crime dependupon the joint efforts of the public, the magistracy and the police, and not upon the energyof any one of these alone. The most intimate and friendly co-operation between the policeand the magistracy as a whole, and between particular magistrates and the police stationedin the area of their jurisdiction, is essential.
