' ^gg072V. Whenever a summons or other criminal process may be served
by a burkundaz, chuprassy, or other public officer receiving wages from
Government (and such officers are to be employed in serving all criminal
processes, especially in cases of a heinous nature, as far as circumstances
may admit), no diet-money, or other allowance or gratnity, shall be de-
manded or received from the complainant or accused, whether the case be
adjusted by razeenamah or otherwise; and the demand or receipt of such
by any public officer, directly or indirectly, in violation of this rule, shall
be punishable as a criminal offence, on conviction before the magistrate or
C27227V q/AWoTg//. The offender shall also be compellable, either by a cri-
minal prosecution or by a civil action, to refund the amount received ;
besides being liable to immediate dismission from office, under the provi-
sions contained in the existing Regulations.

Sec.^iv^Re^ merit may be unavoidably employed in serving any criminal process, they

higher rate may be usual and necessary) during the time they may be so
employed ; and shall not demand nor receive more, upon any pretence
whatever, under the penalties above stated, with respect to pubiic officers
receiving wages from Government. The tullubana, in such cases, shal!
be paid in the first instance by the party or parties at whose instance the
process is issued (unless the charge be of a heinous nature, and the magis-
trate deem it proper that the necessary expense of process be paid on the
part of Government), subject to reimbursement from the accused if
the charge be established, under the discretion vested in the Criminal
Courts by Section VIII. Regulation XIV. 1797, and Clause Third of
