•   It is essential that a panchanama in respect of an arrest, search, seizure etc. should always be done at the site of the occurrence of the accident or offence and the signatures of the Panchas should be obtained thereon.

•   The Panchanama should normally be prepared during the day but where the circumstances do not permit it may be done at night as well.

•   It is necessary that two panchas remain present while a Panchanama is being drawn and their signatures should be obtained on it, then and there only.

•   After paying the fees, in form 'AA', a copy of the Panchanama drawn at the site of the sccident can be obtained.

•   A copy of the Panchanama should be given to the person concerned even if he does not ask for it.
