(ii)  the acts mentioned in clauses (a) to (l) of section 13 are alleged to have been 
committed,  
within the local limits of its jurisdiction; and 
1[(b)  the officer in charge of the police-station within the jurisdiction whereof such place as 
aforesaid lies, or in areas which are not within the jurisdiction of any police-station, the 
Extra Assistant Commissioner within whose jurisdiction such place lies or any other 
officer authorised in this behalf by the Dis trict Magistrate, lays information with the

summon the person complained against to appear before it, and shall, as soon as he appears before it, 
supply him with a copy of the information laid against him: 
Provided that the Tribunal may, for reasons to be recorded, in the very first instance or at any 
later stage of the inquiry, instead of issuing summons, issue a warrant, non-bailable or bailable, in such 
sum as may appear to it reasonable, for the arrest of the aforesaid person and his production before the 
Tribunal__

or is concealing himself so that the warrant cannot be executed, it may__ 
 
1Subs. by West Pakistan Ordinance No. XXII of 1965, s. 2. 
 
Page 5 of 15 
 
(a) send a report to a Magistrate having jurisdiction in the area where the person 
complained against ordinarily resides or has his property or is present, and the 
said Magistrate shall take proceedings under sections 87, 88 and 89 of the Code 
of Criminal Procedure, 1898, in respect of such person and his property as if the 
warrant were a warrant issued by the said Magistrate; or 
(b) by order notified in the Gazette, direct such person to appear before it, at such 
place and within such period as may be specified in the order; and if such person 
omits to comply with the directions, he shall, unless he proves that it was not 
possible for him to comply therewith and that he had, at the first possible 
opportunity within the per iod sent information to the Tribunal of the reason 
which rendered compliance therewith impossible and of his whereabouts, be 
deemed to have evaded compliance with the order. 
8. Appearance before Tribunal. (1) The Tribunal may, when the person complained against 
appears before it, take from him a bond, with or without sureties, for his appearance during the inquiry 
or when called upon, as the case may be, and may also, having regard to the nature of the information 
laid against him, require him to furnish a bond, with one or more sureties, in such sum as the Tribunal 
may think fit, to be of good behaviour until the conclusion of the inquiry and may direct that he be 
detained in custody until such bond is exe cuted, or in default of execution, until the inquiry is 
concluded. 
(2) The Tribunal may, for reasons to be recorded, instead of taking a bond for the appearance 
of the person complained against, order his detention till the conclusion of the inquiry in suc h prison 
as it thinks suitable: 
Provided that such detention shall not exceed two months unless his case has been referred to 
the Commissioner and the latter has agreed to such detention. 
9. Joint proceedings. Where two or more persons are associated together with regard to any 
matter covered by the allegations contained in the information laid in respect of them, to an extent 
which in the opinion of the Tribunal justifies such a course, the inquiry into the ma tter with regard to 
which they are associated together may be conducted against all, or any of them jointly. 
10. Proceedings before Tribunal . The Tribunal shall proceed to inquire into the truth or 
otherwise of the information upon which action has been taken, and for that purpose may record such 
evidence as may appear necessary, following in all such cases, the procedure prescribed in the Code 
of Criminal Procedure, 1898, for conducting trials and recording evidence in summons cases, but 
subject to the special provisions of this Ordinance. 
11. Tribunal may act on the evidence recorded by its predecessor. Whenever any Tribunal, 
after having heard and recorded the whole or any part of the evidence in an inquiry, ceases to exercise 
jurisdiction therein, and is  succeeded by another Tribunal, which has and which exercises such 
jurisdiction, the Tribunal so succeeding may act on the evidence so recorded by its predecessor or 
partly recorded by its predecessor and partly recorded by itself; or may resummon the witn esses and 
re-commence the inquiry. 
12. Orders by Tribunal. 1[(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other 
law for the time being in force, the Tribunal may__

keep the peace or be of good behaviour;

matter arising in the case.] 
(2) The Tribunal may grant immunity from prosecution for any offence other than that of giving 
false evidence to any witness appearing in an inquiry under this Ordinance in respect of any matter 
relevant to the inquiry.
