1. *Anandan Nayar, late Constable On 23rd November 1935, two hooligans of Palni Town were brought to Palni Town Police station by this Constable and another after their arrest for drunken and disorderly behaviour. In the absence of handcuffs the prisoners had their arms bound with a cloth as they tended to be violent. At the station the Sub-Inspector directed the Head Cons- table to untie the men and charge-sheet them under tho Towns Nuisance Act. Thoy wore accordingly untied. While the Head Constable was making the necessary entries in station records, one of the arrested men pulled out a knife and suddenly attacked him with it inflicting injuries which proved fatal. Constable Anandan Nayar, the only man in tho vicinity at the time, although unarmed, went to his Head Constable's rescue without hesitation and tackled the armed murderer. His courageous action unfortunately proved unavailing us the murdorer stabbed him also, the knife pene- trating tho lungs, and thon made good his escape. The Cons- tablo afterwards died of the wound. Ho had riskod his life with great gallantry.

Veeraswamy retreated into hia houRe on the approach of the Police and emerging therefrom armed with a spear rushed at the Sub- Inspector and inflicted a fatal wound which pierced through the Sub-Inspector's abdomen. He withdrew the spear and aimed a second stab which the Sub-Inspoctor avoided. The Sub-Inspector, before collapsing, had the strength, resolution and courage to draw his revolver and shoot his assailant down. Vooraswamy died on the spot.

On tho evening of April 3, 1936, a person named Chiranji Lai of the village of Pipargaon in the district of Fatehgarh, as a result of longstanding family quarrel, deliberately shot dead his sister- in-law and a person named Ram Singh and then sot fire to that portion of the houso in which they lived. He then climbed to the roof of his own quarters and threatened to shoot any of the villagers who approached him. Information of this occurrence was brought to Mr, Cole, the Superintendent of Police, at his house in Fatehgarh at 11 P.M. that night.

Taking his two orderlies with him Mr. Cole left at once by motor car and, calling at tho Fatohgarh police station for B. Jainti Prasad, Station Officer, proceeded to Pipargaon village. On arriving thoro he collected tho villagers and surrounded the house at about 1 A.TVI . As a large part of the house was still in (lames, Mr. Cole first proceeded to search this portion in which he found two women and two children in a state of terror. Having removed them, as well as some cattle whioh were also in the building to a plaoe of safety, ho searched a small room on the roof of tho masonry portion of the house. Finding this empty he next devoted his attention to extinguish- ing the flro and then, leaving tho villagers to oomplete this work, he led a small party to make a thorough soareh for the murderer who was believed to bo somowhere inside the building. Mr. Cole was armed with a revolver and Sub-lnspcotor Jainti Prasad with a • 12 bore gun and thoy had between them two filoctrio torches. Having searched and found each of the rooms of this portion of tho houso empty, tho party arrived near a room the door of which was half-open. Mr. Cole went towards the room and flashed his olootric torch on the doorway when, it appears he suddenly perceived the murderer sitting on a stool just inside tho door with his gun ready to fire. The murderer fired his gun at the light of the torch a second before Mr. Colo fired his revolver. Mr. Colo foil and the murderer thereupon fired his second barrel at tho Sub-Inspector, who, although badly wounded, was able to orawl into the court- yard from where ho was carried outside by other members of tho party. The rest of the police party and tho villagers

thereafter surrounded the house and sent for reinforcements which arrived at 4 AM. The house was then again approached and ultimately the murderer was found lying dead in the room from which ho had fired on Mr. Cole apparently having com- mitted suicide.

Mr. Colo was killed almost instantaneously, while the Sub-Inspector

died in hospital on the following morning.

In tackling a desperate murderer who had vowed to shoot anyone who attempted to arrest him and who was not taken by sur- prise, Mr, Cole displayed great courage and disregard for hia personal safety, while his rescue at considerable risk to himself of the women and children from the burning house testifies to his humanity.

inspector of Police.

Radha Charan, a notorious absconder belonging to the town of Khair in the Aligarh district had been wanted for five years by the police of tho Aligarh Muttra, and Bulandshahr districts for murder and dacoity. Responsible for at least five murders, he had established a reign of terror in the Aligarh district by hin daring murder of persons who had giveu information against him and ho had ovon threatened to inurder any police officer whom he might have reason to believe to be making particular efforts to arrest him. Apart from the torror which he inspired, ho had many sympathizers and it had beoorae exceedingly difficult and dangerous to obtain accurate information about his movements.

Sub-Inspector Mumtaz AH Khan who was posted to the police station of Chandausi which adjoins that of Khair set himself with great patience and porseveranco to obtain reliable informa- tion about Radha Charan's inovoments. On November 19, 1935, he received information that Radha Cbaran, together with some companions, carrying arms, would proceed in a motor car towards Agra. The Sub-Inspector at ouco went to Aligarh to inform Mr. Thompson, the Superintendent of Polioo. Taking a party of police officers with them, Mr. Thompson and Rub- Inspector Mumtaz Ah Khan went to the railway level crossing near Hathras where they arranged to have the gates dosed and concealed themselves on each sido of the road. When the car arrived and was stopped at the crossing, Sub-Inspector Mumtaz Ali Khan approached and identified it. On his giving the signal lie and tho oilier members of the party rushed towards the car in which Radha Chtiran was sitting with a loaded double-barrelled gun between his knees. Sub-Inspector Mumtaz Ah Khan together with Superintendent of tho Police and other polico officers closed with him and after a severe struggle overpowered him.

In obtaining information of Radha Oharan's movements Sub- Inspeetor Mumtaz Ali Khan showed commendable zeal and resource and in tho prominent part which ho took in oiYeoting this armed criminal, who was accompanied by others who might also be armed, ho displayed personal courage and devotion to duty of a high order.

15. *Rai Bahadur Shiara Singh, I. P. On the night of April 11/12, 1936, Constable Jagannath Singh, who had tho day before quarrelled with the head moharrir of the police station in the Hamirpur district at which he was posted, took advantage of the fact that he was on sentry duty to obtain a Government niuskot together with some, ammuni- tion by burning down the door of tho malkhana. He then entered the head constable's quarters, shot the officer who was asleep and escaped from the police station. The head constable died a few days later.

On hearing of this outrage Mr. Shiam Singh, the Superintendent of Police of tho Hamirpur district immediately proceeded to tho police station where he ascertained that the murderor hud taken refuge in a viUago some six miles away. He thereupon went to the village where ho found that Jagannath Singh was in tho houso of a local bad character and had threatened to shoot anyono who interfered with him. As it was found impossible to arrest the murderer by stratagem,

Mr. Shiam Singh deoidod upon a direct attaok. Taking flve polioo officers with him he advanced quietly until the party arrived outside the room in which Jagannath Singh was lying on a bod with tho musket under his legs. Mr. whiam Singh, closely followed by Constables Jbao Lai and Tufail Ahmad, rushed into the house and, despite the fact that Jagannath Singh was a wrestler of good physique, disarmed and arrested him.

10. *Razi Uddin, Constable.

On August 22, 1036, Constable Razi Uddin was a member of one of two parties consisting of police officers and members of the public who had been collected by the officer hi charge of the Baheri police station to effect the arrest of three suspicious strangers who had been seen in the Bahori Bazar mosque. By tho time the party had arrived at the mosque, however, the suspects had left but were subsequently located in a confectioner's shop by Constable Razi Uddin and his party. The three men mado every effort to evade arrest. One of them named Laddan Khan made good his osoape by firing his revolver at ono of the private persons who was attempting to bold him. The second escapod after inflioting serious knifo wounds on the villager who had seized him. Tho third, Hafiz Bashir, who had been taokled by Constable Razi Uddin, drow his revolver and fired at the constable. Constable Razi Uddin, however, maintained his hold and prevented him from using his weapon witti any offeot. The struggle continued until the Sub-Inspector and his party arrived and disarmed Hafiz Bashir. Haflz Bashir was subsequently convicted and sontcnood to rigorous imprisonment for ten years for attempted murder, while Constable Razi Uddin's gallant conduot was particularly commended by the Sessions Judge.

C.T.E.

P., During the course of his service in the Punjab and Delhi, dating from the yoar 1907, Mr. Orde has been called upon to meet situations of difficulty and danger on an unusual number of occasions. His valuable services at Delhi in connection with the disturbances of 1919 were acknowledged by His Majesty's Secretary of State and the Government of Tndia. In 1921 ho was placed on special duty at Nankana Sahib, at that tune the focal point of Sikh fanaticism. In his work thore, in conditions of peculiar dolioacy, he showed tact and common- sense in a remarkable dogreo. In November of the same year he was appointed as Superintendent of Police hi the important district of Forozopore, and in 1923 reoeived tho congratula- tions of the Tnspector-Genoral for his share in the capture of a gang of armed daooits. At the end of 1923 his services were again put at the disposal of the Delhi Administration, where he remained till May ] 928. His work in the oapital oity, parti - oularly during the communal tension of 1926-27, was recog- nised by his appointment as a Companion in the Most Eminent Order of the tndian Empire (Birthday Honours, 1927). In February 1929 he roturned to tho Punjab to serve as Deputy Inspector-General of the Central Range In April of the same yoar he came to special notico for the eflfioionoy with which he handled a dangerous oomraunal situation in Lahore. His services in connection with the Lahore session of tho Indian National Congress at Christmas 1929 again earned the com- mendation of the Punjab Government. In September 1930 Mr. Orde was put in charge of the Punjab Criminal Investiga- tion Doparttnent and in the summor of 1935 he was appointed to officiate as Tnspootor-General. Ho was thus in oharge of the whole police force of the province at tho time of the bitter dispute botween Sikhs and Muslims in regard to the Shahid- ganj Gurdwara. Mr. Orde deoided to take personal charge

of the police operations in Lahore, and was on duty almost continuously throughout the l!)th July and the two succeeding days, when the police were repoatedly in contact with violent crowds. His coolness and choorfulness throughout these opera- tions, oarried out at the vorv height of the hot season, wero an inspiration to the force under his command, while his grasp of the situation and sound judgment were an asset of the greatest value to the looal Government. The oalm courage shown by Mr. Orde on this occasion was of a piece with tfie whole of his official career, and merits the award of the King's Police Medal.

Throughout his caroor Mr. Ordo's work has been highly effioient.

18. *Henry Donald Mortimer Scott,

I. P.

Mr. Scott joined the Indian Police in January 1920. In June 1935 he was postod to Ferozeporo, a district which for some yearn past has boon notorious for daooity, and at once showed the groatost energy and skill in hunting down daooits and absconders. On the l(5th February 1936 ho received informa- tion that two outlaws, each wanted for a number of murders and othor serious offences, had taken refuge in a house in a village known as Buttar Bakoha. Ho at onoo summoned a body of police from headquarters and proceeded to surround the house—a large building with a courtyard and a number of outhouses and stables. At this stago one of the outlaws shot a young constable who was approaching the main door of the house, inflicting fatal injuries. Soon after this two bombs were thrown at the polioe, one of whioh explodod in a manure heap immediately behind Mr. Scott. Fortunately he was untouohed, except by a fow small pieoes of wire and nails. Owing to tho approach of darknoss Mr. Soott then deoidod to use lachrymatory gas to foroe the outlaws to miiA -Sheir shelter. Ho personally fired a gas gun from a root wnTorr was exposed to the outlaws' fire, and supervised the digging of holes in the roof through whioh gas bombs were thrown into the room. After some time a loud explosion was heard, and it was subse- quently found that one of the outlaws had dropped one of his bombs and killed himsolf. The further employment of tear gas eventually drove the second man out, shooting wildly. The polioe returned the fire, killing the daooit. The conspi- ouous oourage and leadership displayed by Mr. Soott in this very successful operation entitle him to special recognition.

19, George Durrani, T. P.

Mr. Durrant was appointed to the Indian Police in October 1922 after having served for several years in the Army during the Great War. In March 1934 ho was posted to tho Muzaffar- garh District as Superintendent of Polioe. This district lying between the Indus and Chenab rivers, has always pro- vided a peculiarly suitable field for the activities of the cattle thief, so much so that both polioe and publio had almost come to regard the provalonoe of this form of orime as an incurable evil. Mr. Durrant refused to aooept this state of affairs, and immediately devoted himself to organising a campaign against cattle thieves and the reoeivers of stolen cattle. Steps were taken to ensure that as many oases of cattle theft as possible were reported and investigated by the police. At the same time a complete reorganisation was carried out of the system of patrols, both on the rivors and on land. The results were soon seen, 219 animals valued at Rs. 12,934 being reoovered in 1934 as compared with 33 in the previous year. The measures taken to deal with organised bands of Lohri cattle thievos from Sind were so suocossful that so far as is known there was not a single theft in the district in 1935 by criminals of this type. In that year 366 cases were registered on the re- covery of stolen animals, and 429 animals valued at Rs. 20,005 were recovered. Convictions of the cattle thieves rose from 61 in 1933 to 120 in 1935, while no less than 211 reoeivers were convicted in the latter year as compared with 40 in 1933. These figures indicate a remarkable measure of sueoeas in dealing with a type of crime whioh presents peoullar difficul- ties in a locality which speoially faroiire it, Mr. Duirant'e

Tho man immediately started to run in the direc- tion of the border, and in view of this suspicious conduct the Subedar dividod his party in two in order to prevent his escape The Subedar himself with three rifles overtook the man, but when the latter aaw that escape was impossible, he fired at a range of about 7 yards and the Subedar was struck in the abdomen and foil. The man was dosing in on the Subedar when the latter raised himself from the ground and fired four rounds from his revolver and killed him. On hearing tho noise of the shots a number of people emerged armed from the village of Kui Ali Khel nearby aoross the border. Tho Subedar realised that the people were hostile and outnumbered his party considerably. So he stood up and having seized the dead man's rifle began to conduct a retreat. In a short time, however, the Subedar oollapsed, and as he was clearly dying the party halted and took up defensive positions, as the result of which a fight with the armed villagers was averted. The Subedar'a action in thus pursuing and killing his assailant when he himself was mortally wounded, followed by his continuing to lead his men up to the moment of hia collapse, showed gallantry and devotion to duty of a very high order.

Subedar Mir Zaman had nearly 25 years' good record of military and Frontier Constabulary service to hia oredit and was on the verge of retirement. During the last 3 years he had been a prominent figure in the campaign launched in Bannu to reduce illioit armament and had been instrumental in recover* ing 6 fire arms with 53 livo rounds and arrested 25 outlaws and other criminals partly in conjunction with Polioe and partly with Frontier Constabulary parties under bis oom" maud.
