Section 732(3) in Police Regulations, Bengal , 1943
(3)such other special occasions as may be ordered.(vii)The procedure on parade will be as laid in the Manual of Drill for the Bengal Police except when regular troops or the Eastern Frontier Rifles are also on parade, in which case the District Armed Police will conform as far as practicable with the existing Army Ceremonial Drill. Whenever a parade is held, the Superintendent shall inform the Commissioner, District Magistrate, District Judge and other gazetted officers in the station as well as the leading gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood several days beforehand of the time and place of the parade and invite them to be present.(viii)Should the Deputy Inspector-General of the Range or of the Criminal Investigation Department be present at any station at which a parade is held he should attend in uniform. He should take the salute and there be a march past (the Deputy Inspector-General for the Range taking precedence of the Deputy Inspector-General of the Criminal Investigation Department), but he will not command the parade. Should the Divisional Commissioner be present in the station, he should be invited by the Deputy Inspector-General to take the salute. In the absence of the Commissioner from the station the District Magistrate or in his absence the Additional District Magistrate should be invited to take the salute. In all other circumstances the Deputy Inspector-General or in his absence the Superintendent shall take the salute.(ix)All gazetted police officers who may be present in the station though not actually taking part in the parade shall attend in uniform.(x)If members of the Auxiliary Force desire to take part in a parade held under clauses (ii) to (v) they must be treated as regular troops while on parade and take the right of the line. The precedence, etc., of the officers is regulated by the rules, customs and instructions applying to the regular Army and Auxiliary Forces. At ceremonial parades at which the military and police are present, the question as to whether and when a civilian (Commissioner, District Magistrate) should be invited to take the salute is one for the good sense and discretion of the senior military officer. In coming to a decision he will no doubt consider the relative precedence of the invitee and that the troops would themselves prefer to pay a compliment to one who is known to them even if not personally.(xi)A note of the members of all ranks attending any ceremonial parade will be made in the morning report of the date on which such parade is held, and will also be entered in the monthly force return for the information of the Inspector-General.
