The findings of the revenue court or the earlier findings of the civil court, if any,

363(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and rules 152 and 155 of the General Rules
(Criminal), 1957, which provide that, on the application of the accused, a copy of the

prisoner it should be dispatched to the jail at once and that if the order for issue of the
copy cannot be completed or complied with by reason of the record being in the appellate
