  (1) If the appropriate Government has reason to believe that a
  
  person in respect of whom a detention order has been made has absconded or is
  
  concealing himself so that the order cannot be executed, the Government may -
  a. make a report in writing of the fact to a
  
  Metropolitan Magistrate or a Magistrate of the first class having jurisdiction
  
  in the place where the said person ordinarily resides ; and thereupon the
  
  provisions of sections 82, 83, 84 & 85 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
  
  1973 (2 of 1974), shall apply in respect of the said person and his property as
  
  if the order directing that he be detained were a warrant issued by the
  
  Magistrate ;
  b. by order notified in the Official Gazette
  
  direct the said person to appear before such officer, at such place and within
  
  such period as may be specified in the order ; and if the said person fails to
  
  comply with such direction, he shall, unless he proves that it was not possible
  
  for him to comply therewith and that he had, within the period specified in the
  
  order, informed the officer mentioned in the order of the reason which rendered
  
  compliance therewith impossible and of his whereabouts, be punishable with
  
  imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine or with both.
  
  
  (2) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal
  
  Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974), every offence under clause (b) of sub-section (1)
