Journeys performed by police officers to appear in court in connection with any civil or criminal proceeding instituted against them

65-G. A police officer, who undertakes a journey to appear in a court in connection with any civil or criminal proceedings instituted against him by a party other than the Government in respect of any act purporting to have been done in his official capacity, is entitled to the following travelling and other concessions:

(1) If he is given by the court which is dealing with his case the option to appear before it by an advocate but he goes to the place where the court is held to instruct his counsel personally, he is entitled to actual travelling expenses to and from that place and to actual dietary and conveyance charges during halts there, not exceeding the travelling and daily allowances at ordinary rates.

(2) If his presence in the court is necessary as for example, when a counsel is not engaged or where the court requires his personal attendance, and he undertakes the journey to the place where the court is held, he is entitled to travelling and daily allowances at ordinary rates for the journeys to and from, and his halt at, that place.
