2. Order to Sent Jail: On receipt of application Magistrate shall pass an order for sending accused to jail
3. No Next Date for Production: It must be noted that as it is a remand for collection of evidence so there should be no next date for production of accused before the Magistrate unless identification parade takes place.
4. Muffled Face: Whether suspect/accused has been produced with muffled face or not. Direction to Investigating Officer (in case accused is not muffled face), to cover the face of accused and to lodge him in Jail in said condition so he may not be exposed before anyone.
5. Request By I.O: Once suspect/accused is sent to judicial lock-up, Investigating Officer shall make a request directly to the Magistrate or through Sessions Judge for fixing a date of identification parade.
6. Fixing the date of Identification: Magistrate shall fix a date as nearly as possible for identification parade and shall direct Investigating Officer to produce all relevant witnesses on the said date and time in jail
7. OPTIONAL Before next date a request by an Investigating Officer for adjournment of identification parade. In this eventuality Magistrate has power to adjourn proceedings but not for a shortest possible period.
8. After identification parade has taken place an independent request has to be made for production of accused in court for remand or discharge as the case may be.
Identification on Request of Accused
In cases where identification of accused is disputed and is a matter of importance, the request of an accused for an identification parade should not be refused.
Such a request should not also be rejected merely because it is regarded as measure to create delay, as it should be possible to arrange an identification parade without delay.
