Finger Print Manual

The above fees including traveling allowance, should be paid into the local

Payable to Central Forensic Science Laboratory
C.E. No.108/VIIb-53/9 dated 17th December, 1968

According to G.O.No. 3518/6-827-1968, dated November 14, 1968, from Under
Secretary, U.P. Government, the fees for examination of exhibits sent to Central Forensic
Science Laboratory, Calcutta, are to be paid in the treasury under the head ―XIX Police

 Process Fee
G.L.No.19/35(a)-5(1) dated 30th May, 1930 read with
G.L.No. 48/35(a)-4(22) dated 4th May, 1936

Under rule 8, Order XVI, First Schedule to the Code of Civil Procedure in cases
where service of summons is made by a party or his agent no process fee should be
charged. A note should be kept in each court of the number of processes served by
parties themselves and these figures should be totaled and mentioned in the annual
report.

The courts should take steps to ensure that the witnesses summoned are protected
against loss by the failure of the party summoning them to pay their legitimate expenses.

It is the clear duty of a court before summoning a witness to see that the necessary
expenses to secure his attendance have been deposited in court, otherwise the court will
not be in a position to proceed against him for non-attendance as laid down in rule 12 of
Order XVI of the Code of Civil Procedure ―Dasti‖ summonses have, however, been
permitted for the convenience of the parties, and there will be no objection if on the
summons a condition is attached that the witness need not attend unless he has received
his expenses.

The responsibility would thus be thrown on the party of bringing his witness. The
court would only intervene if the witness received his expenses and then did not answer
the summons.
G.L.No.15 dated 2nd March, 1933

The process fee, in cases, which are sent by civil courts to revenue courts for
deciding an issue, should be realized at the rate of Rs.1.25 per four defendants or less.

 Payment of fee to a Medical Officer of Government
G.L.No.18/46-75(a) dated 29th June, 1931 read with
G.O.No.93/V-339 dated 16th January, 1931

When the State requires either a medical examination or technical evidence of a
medical nature, whether for the prosecution or the defence in a criminal case, it is the
duty of medical officers of Government to carry out the examination or to give the
evidence needed without remuneration. Similarly, fees cannot be claimed by medical
officers when a person is sent to them for examination in order to ascertain his age or to
find out whether his injuries are simple or grievous and so determined whether a case is
cognizable or non -cognizable or for some other similar purpose. When a court or a
police officer, sends a person for examination by a medical officer, he should at the same
time clearly explain the object of such examination unless special reason exist rendering
this undesirable.

When private persons, for their own purpose wish to have a medical examination
performed or medical evidence given on their behalf, the medical officer concerned is
entitled to his fees.

C.L.No.26/71 dated 10th February, 1971
