Section 146(c) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(c)In all cases when armed parties are sent out, they should keep together in compact bodies under competent officers, fully instructed. They should be given a specific task to perform and must be fully instructed as to their powers and responsibilities. The Special Armed Force should never be given the routine duty of marshalling or escorting a procession. The Superintendent, the Sub-divisional Police Officer or the Circle inspector will obtain as clear a picture as possible of the situation the armed forces have to meet and ensure, preferably by personal instruction that each party sent out fully comprehends its objective and understands its duties and powers.
