"If you desire to plead guilty without appearing in person, send written confession
along with fine by post or messenger, on or before the date fixed.

If you desire to plead guilty through pleader, he may confess and pay fine on
showing written authority from you."
C.L. No. 85/VIII b-108-Admn. (G) dated 24th November, 1984

The District Judges should see that henceforth, the aforesaid instructions are
strictly complied with by the Magistrate. If any Magistrates do not do so, it may be
treated adversely against him.
C.L. No. 13-VII d-92/Admn. (A) dated 18th January, 1978

It is impressed upon all the Magistrates that in the interest of expeditious disposal
of criminal cases, such cases, which can be tried summarily, should generally be tried
summarily.

While inspecting cases of Magistrates, the District Judges/the Chief Judicial
Magistrates are requested to verify whether the Magistrates try summarily those cases,
which can be tried summarily.
Compliance of the Provisions of Section 206 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
1973.
C.L. No. 65/Vllb-108/Admn. (G), dated November 11, 1991
I am directed to invite your attention
to Court's Circular Letter noted on the margin
and printed at pages 457 & 459 of the book of
Circular Orders 1990 Edn, on the above
subject, and to say that in spite of repeated
instructions,
this
Court
is
receiving
complaints that the provisions of Section 206
(i) of the Code of Criminal Procedure are not
being followed by the trying, Magistrates
while deciding cases under Section 260 of the said Code causing harassment to the
accused. Thus, with a view to give quicker relief to the accused persons involved in petty
offences, the Magistrates may be directed to have the list of such cases prepared where
punishment is possible in the form of fine where after the Magistrate may call upon the
accused by a notice in writing fixing some date therein, on which if the accused pleads
guilty, his case may be disposed of on the date fixed, by imposing the sentence of fine
only. The Magistrates can make this fact of imposition of fine, only known to the
litigants in general through the lawyers by giving them the option that in case the accused
give an application whereby they plead guilty and want to got the sentence of fine only,
then on getting their files from the record room, the Magistrate, may dispose of those
matters by imposing fine only.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to bring in the notice of all trying
Magistrates the contents of this letter for their information and necessary compliance.
