  We present the optical imaging polarimetric observations of comet C/2009
P1(Garradd) at three different phase angles e.g., 28.2$^\circ$, 28.1$^\circ$
and 21.6$^\circ$. The observations were carried out using IUCAA Faint Object
Spectrograph and Camera mounted on Cassegrain focus of the 2-m Telescope of
IGO, IUCAA, Pune in R$_{comet}$, R photometric bands, on 21 and 22 March 2012
and ARIES Imaging Polarimeter mounted on Cassegrain focus of the 1.04-m
Sampurnanand Telescope of ARIES, Nainital in R photometric band, on 23 May
2012. We show the presence of a jet activity in the rotational gradient treated
image of comet Garradd at phase angle 28.1$^\circ$. These jets are mainly
oriented towards the Sun and extended up to $\sim$ 5100 km from the cometary
photocenter. The antisolar extension of jet seems to be fainter, which is
extended up to $\sim$ 1800 km. It is found that the comet Garradd shows
negative polarization at phase angle 21.6$^\circ$. The degree of polarization
derived for Garradd is in good agreement with other comets at nearly similar
phase angles e.g., comets 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, 22P/Kopff, 1P/Halley,
C/1990 K1 (Levy), 4P/Faye, and C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) at phase angle $\sim$
28$^\circ$, and 47P/Ashbrook-Jackson at phase angle $\sim$ 21.6$^\circ$,
respectively. It is also found that the degree of polarization of dusty coma of
comet Garradd at phase angle $\sim$ 28$^\circ$ is high but, not as high as in
the case of comet Hale-Bopp.
