Rule 364. Respectable male adults up to maximum of
twelve, may be admitted with the sanction of the Superintendent,
to witness an execution either inside a prison, or into the gallows
enclosure when the gallows is outside the prison; provided that the
Superintendent may in his discretion refuse admission altogether
or to any particular individual. Spectators are to be kept at a
distance and a sufficient strength of the guard should be drawn up

frustrate any attempt at rescue.
"The wali of the victim, if so desires, shall be allowed to
witness the execution."

who issued the warrant.

Rule366. A. Court may order an accused person to be

Sessions. Every such order made by a Court other than the High
Court, shall be in writing and signed by the presiding Judge or
Coordination Officer.

authorising the prisoner's detention in the prison lock-up bears the

produced before the Court. When a warrant is incomplete or the
remand granted is for an indefinite period, the Superintendent shall,
as soon as possible, return the warrant for correction to the Court
which issued it.
