C.L. No. 13 dated 22nd January, 1977

To expedite information about the decision of cases in the Court it has now been
decided that an intimation about the disposal of a case be sent as soon after disposal of a
case as possible. If the record along with the copy of judgment is not received by the
District Judge within a month of the receipt of information about the disposal of the case,
he may write to the Registrar demi- officially in the matter.
Shunning frequent adjournments
C. L. No-35/2007: Admin 'G' Dated: 29 August, 2007.
With exalted aim of bringing perceptible improvement in administration of Civil
Justice System the Hon'ble court has viewed with serious concern the practice of
granting frequent adjournments on insignificant grounds by subordinate courts and has
desired suitable instructions to be issued urging them to avoid frequent adjournments.
Therefore,
In
continuation
of
the
marginally quoted Circular Letters and
General letter, I am directed to say that in
a bid to ameliorate the Civil Justice
System adjournments be avoided to be
given on baseless flimsy grounds by the court.
I am therefore to request you to kindly bring the contents of the Circular Letter to
the notice of all the Judicial Officers working under your supervisory control with an
instruction to make strict compliance to the same in letter and spirit.

EXPEDITIOUS DISPOSAL OF CASES
C.L. No. 65 dated 31st October, 1962
In order to avoid accumulation of old cases, the tendency of leaving such cases as
are of complicated nature involving lengthy arguments, recalcitrant witnesses,
voluminous documents and intricate law points and taking up only such cases as are short
and convenient for heavy disposal should be deprecated. The Court would like to impress
upon the officers that while passing remarks on their outturn these facts are also taken
into account and consideration is given to disposal of old and complicated cases.
The Court has, after due consideration of all aspects of the question, decided that
the following procedure should be followed by all concerned:
(1)
Presiding Officers should make concentrated efforts to reduce the arrears in
all categories of cases as soon as possible.
(2)
Officers should be instructed by the District Judge to do their proper share of
work and follow the instructions given by him.
(3)
Cases should be taken to be ̳old' according to the following time schedule:-
(a)
Regular suits in Munsifs and Civil Judges Courts- More than a year
old.
(b)
Small Cause Suits-More than three months old.
(c)
Regular Civil and Revenue Appeals-More than six months old.
