A)
the district to which the prisoners are sent
B)
the district from which the prisoners are sent
C)
the Headquarters of Excise and Narcotics
D)
the Judicial Court from which the prisoners are sent
In the administrative and financial rules governing the transport of prisoners (including under-trial prisoners) between districts in India and specifically within the state administrative frameworks of Mizoram, the principle of 'originating cost' generally applies. The conveyance and incidental charges (such as food, escort costs, and transport) are borne by the district from which the prisoner is being sent (the sending district). This is because the prisoner is currently under the custody and jurisdiction of the sending district's authorities until they are formally handed over to the receiving district. Therefore, the budget for the transfer is charged to the establishment of the district of origin.
