to avoid recurrence of inconvenience caused to the Hon'ble Court due to bad
handwriting.
C.L.No. 39/Ve-65/Admn. (G) dated 26th August, 1988
Often the copies supplied by the subordinate courts do not contain either the
signature of the Head Copyist or the seal. Sometimes copies are being issued by the
courts directly and not through the Copying Department. Such practice not being in
accordance with the mandatory provisions of rules 254,255 and 259 of General Rules
(Civil) should be put to an end. Henceforth, the Copying Department should be directed
to be more careful in this respect and no copy should be issued unless it is properly
signed and sealed.
C.L.No. 67/Ve-65-Admn. (G) dated 22nd September, 1989
A strange practice seems to be developing in the subordinate courts of issuing
true copies of the order passed by the court by the Munsarim or clerk of the same court
which passes the order with the seal of the Munsarim and in some cases also the metal
seal of the court. Whereas according to rule 253 and 254 of the General Rules (Civil),
1957, Volume I, no one except the Head Copyist of the Copying Department of the
district is competent to issue a copy of any order passed by the Court, even otherwise
copies of the judicial record cannot be issued except by the Copying Department.

Henceforth no copy shall be issued except under the authority of the Head
Copyist of the judgeship under Copying Department and in case of any laches in this
behalf the person liable shall be dealt with severely.
G.L.No.29/A dated 1st August, 1929
Copyists shall put down the number of words on each copy they prepare.
G.L.No. 43 dated 10th August, 1934
The correct procedure for counting words in a copy is to count three or four lines
taken at random from a page in a prepared copy and then to strike an average per line.
Lines on the whole copy are then counted and multiplied by the average number of
words per line to represent the total number of words in a copy. The copyist who
prepares the copy is responsible for counting correctly and the Head Copyist should
verify some entries by checking a few copies at random.
G.L.No.6/A- 17(1) dated 1st November, 1935 as amended by
G.L.No.7/A-2 (1) dated 27th January 1936
The register of karguzari referred to in rule 268, Chapter X, General Rules
(Civil), 1957, should be submitted to the officer-in-charge of the Copying Department, or
to the presiding officer of the court by the head Copyist fortnightly or monthly as the
District Judge may direct.

C.L.No. 24/VIIb-104/Admn. (G) dated March 1, 1990
