Aid to person other than police officer, executing warrant
AI Assist
Summary
If a warrant is directed to a person who is not a police officer, anyone may help carry out that warrant so long as the person named is nearby and is actually executing it. Assistance is lawful only during the time the directed person is present and acting under the warrant. Helpers may thus aid in making the warrant effective.
Example
A court issues a warrant directed to Priya's building manager to remove a tenant who refuses to leave. The manager is present and acting under the warrant, and Rohan helps escort the tenant out. Under this section Rohan may lawfully assist the manager in executing the warrant.
Bare Act
