Section 1001 in Punjab Jail Manual, 1996

1001. Provision when overcrowding occurs.

(1)Whenever overcrowding occurs in a subsidiary jail, owing to inability to make transfers in consequence of the presence of infectious disease or overcrowding in the district jail, or other cause, the Superintendent shall take measures to provide the additional accommodation required, either by occupying some other available building in the neighbourhood or erecting or hiring temporary huts.
(2)Such expenditure as may be urgently necessary for the provision of additional accommodation and the entertainment of extra temporary establishment for guarding prisoners confined outside the walls of the subsidiary jail, may be incurred in anticipation of sanction, but all action so taken must at once be reported to the Inspector-General. When there is no urgency, the previous sanction of the Inspector-General must be obtained.
