Definitions
Full Text
In this Order,—
(a) “detained” includes detained under any law providing for preventive detention;
(b) “prison” includes—
(i) any place which has been declared by the State Government, by general or special order, to be a subsidiary jail; and
(ii) any reformatory, borstal institution or other institution of a like nature.
Plain English Summary
Defines 'detained' to encompass individuals under preventive detention statutes and expands 'prison' to include subsidiary jails, reformatories, and borstal homes for juvenile offenders.
Key Legal Elements
- Inclusion of Preventive Detainees: Covers persons held under preventive detention acts (e.g. COFEPOSA, NSA).
- Broadened Prison Scope: Extends beyond central/district prisons to subsidiary jails and reformatories.
- Borstal Institutions: Applies witness attendance rules to juvenile and adolescent reformatories.
Practical Note
Scope of Custodial Summons: The expansive definitions under Rule 1 ensure that no custodian—whether a Central Jail Superintendent, a juvenile observation home superintendent, or an in-charge of a sub-jail—can refuse compliance with court production orders on grounds of institutional technicalities.
