Section 198 · Paragraph 189. Procedure to be followed while removing foreigners from India

Whenever a foreigner is directed to remove himself from British India under Section 3 of the Foreigners Act (3 of 1864), a police officer must be deputed to travel by the same train as the foreigner to see that the terms of the order are strictly observed. A copy of the order must be provided to the police officer, and in the event of his escape, he must immediately arrest the foreigner under Section 4 of the Act and take him in custody to the nearest local authority, unless the arrested foreigner satisfies the police officer that he is willing to obey the order and proceed immediately to his destination. For the powers of district authorities to arrest and detain a foreigner in anticipation of a removal order under Section 3, see Section 3A of the Act.
