Explanatory note

These Regulations, which replace the Certificates of Arrest and Surrender of Deserters and Absentees (Navy) Regulations, 1958, prescribe the form of certificate to be handed over when a naval deserter or absentee, who has surrendered himself to the police, is delivered into naval custody. They also prescribe the form of certificate to be handed over when a deserter or absentee is delivered into naval custody as a result of proceedings before a court of summary jurisdiction (in respect of which certificate the fee payable to the clerk of the court is also fixed) and, on delivery into naval custody, with a person suspected of any offence under Part I of the Naval Discipline Act, 1957 who has been arrested under a warrant issued by naval authorities.
