Any police officer may submit reports to the Chief District Officer requesting the issue of a suitable warrant according to the law, or of a search warrant, or
summons or any other notice, or prescribe time-limits in the name of any person who has committed any crime, or is about to commit any crime, after sending such information to the Chief District Officer as he or she has
obtained while discharging his or her duties, and the Chief District Officer may issue such a warrant, summons or notice, or prescribe such a time-  limit, unless the prevailing law explicitly provides for any officer or
authority empowered to do so. In case there is a legal provision that any office or court is to issue
such a warrant, search warrant, summons or other notice or time limit, the police officer shall submit such a report directly to such an office or court.
