The notes and cash to be sent to the treasury should be put in a bag, which should be sealed in the presence of the peon, or peons taking the remittance, and a list of the notes should be sent along with the bag to the treasury.

When the treasury is at a distance, care should be taken that only a trustworthy peon is allowed to take or fetch the box, and the messenger sent should be given a receipt signed in full by the Nazir and not merely initialed by him. G.L. No. 3410/94-1(14) dated 26th October, 1923 In stations where a messenger has to be sent to procure the box from the treasury, it should be arranged that the name of the peon is communicated to the treasury and his personal appearance made known to the treasury officials concerned.

All District Judges should, therefore, make sure that the cash boxes of their courts as also those of any outlying court in their judgeships are always deposited for safe custody in the strong room unless they exercise the option vested in them under Para 38-A, Financial Handbook, Volume V. Where such option has been exercised, it should be communicated to the Treasury Officer in writing. (x) Responsibility for loss occasioned in Nazarat C.L.
