Frequently asked questions

When is a letter to the ACP/DCP used?

When repeated processes (like an NBW) sent through the local police station haven't resulted in an accused's arrest or appearance, and the court wants a senior police officer — the Assistant/Deputy Commissioner of Police — to direct the concerned SHO to execute the warrant.

Does this replace the notice sent to the SHO directly?

No — it's typically used as an escalation after a direct Notice to SHO hasn't resolved the non-service issue, going up the police chain of command instead.

Who receives copies of this letter?

The generated letter itself directs copies to both the DCP and ACP of the district, plus the concerned Station House Officer for action — so all three know what's been ordered.
