Section 69 in The Central Reserve Police Force Rules, 1955
69. Lance Naiks .-A Lance Naik shall receive the same pay as a Constable. Appointments shall be made by the Commandant from the List of Constables qualified for promotion to the rank of Naik. Such appointment shall be made on the recommendations of Company Commanders. Seniority alone shall not be the guiding factor in making such appointments but men who are considered to be potential leaders shall be given preference. A Constable appointed to the rank of Lance Naik but found unsuitable for the rank may be summarily reverted to the rank of Constable without assigning any reasons.
