Authorities like the Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) play a key role. When ordering under , the SDO may direct police presence for law and order: The Sub Divisional Officer, at the time of passing the order for the under of the Code... may direct the Station Officer of the police station concerned to make the police force available for maintaining the law and order on the spot at the time of . 2022 0 Supreme(All) 830 2022 0 Supreme(All) 471.
