which the Public Prosecutor has directed need not be reported
to him, immediately send a report of the same to the Public
Prosecutor, and shall proceed in person or shall depute one of
his subordinate officers to proceed to the spot to inquire into the
facts and circumstances of the case and to take such measures as
may be necessary for the discovery and, where not inexpedient,
arrest of the offender:
Provided as follows—
(a)

same need not proceed in person or depute a subordinate
officer to make an inquiry on the spot;
(b)
if it appears to the police officer receiving the information
that there is no sufficient ground for proceeding or
further proceeding in the matter he shall not do so.
