Publication of court notices in newspaper
G.L. No. 61-46/25-913 dated 28th September, 1937 modified by
G.L. No. 12/46/25-992 dated 21st March, 1938 and
C.L. No. 12/Xf-12 dated 15th February, 1949

Courts should select newspapers through which information is most likely to
reach the party to be served. Notices should thus ordinarily be published in daily
newspaper with extensive circulation or in weekly newspapers with the largest circulation
in the district where the parties to be served reside. Mere economy irrespective of the
extent of circulation of the paper will not serve the purpose of publication of a notice in a
newspaper:

Every court should maintain a register containing the following information:
(1)
Name of office,
(2)
Number of suit or proceeding,
(3)
Name of district in which parties to be served with notices reside,
(4)
Paper to which notice was sent for publication,
(5)
Place of publication of paper,
Explanation of any departure from the directions in G.L. no.
1246/25-1992, dated the 21st March, 1938.
(6)
The register maintained by each court should be put up before the District
Judge for perusal on the 1st each month.

C.L. No. 85/Xf-12 dated August, 1951
In sending notices for publication to newspaper published from any particular
place, the presiding officer should see that notices are, as far as possible, equally
distributed among newspaper with a wide circulation.
The District Judge should ask for the rates for the publication of notices from
newspapers in which such notices are ordinarily likely to be published and satisfy himself
that the charges are reasonable and not exorbitant. The rates should be circulated to all
subordinate courts for information.
C.L. No. 54/X-12 dated 16th April, 1952

The above directions apply to the publication of court summons, notices and other
judicial processes, while the directions contained in G.O. No. 2501(i)/XIX-34-1946,
dated the 4th September, 1951, apply only to the publication of Government
advertisement, tender notices etc.
C.L. No. 5/Xc-5 dated 1st December, 1948

Extract from General Administration Department, G.O. no.2821/I/170(5)-1948,
dated the 18th June, 1948 is reproduced below for the information and guidance of all
District Judges:
(1)
Under G.O. no. 4686/III-170-47, dated the 8th October, 1947, it is
incumbent on the courts and other authorities concerned to issue their
notices, summonses, etc. in Hindi in the Devanagri script. But a question
was raised whether these instructions made it incumbent on the issuing
authorities also to require the publication of notices, etc. in Devanagri
script even when due to the circumstances of a particular case it might be
required that they may be published in non-Hindi newspapers.
(2)
The mere fact that a summons or notice has to be published in a non-Hindi
newspaper is by itself not sufficient to justify the publication of the
document in a language and script other than Hindi in Devanagri script.
Even prior to the declaration of Hindi as the language of the State, nonHindi newspapers on occasions used to publish court notices, etc. in Hindi
in Devanagri script. There is no objection to the publication of court
notices or summonses in Hindi in Devanagri script in non-Hindi papers.
(3)
It is, however, necessary to bear in mind the interest of the litigant public
and it is for this reason that court notices, summonses, etc. are under
standing orders, to be issued to those papers which command an adequate
local circulation and are expected to reach the persons for whom the
notices are intended.
(4)
Court notices, summonses etc. should of course continue to be issued in
the Devanagri script. But if, in any case, the authority considers that it is
essential to publish them in a language other than Hindi written in
Devanagri script then the issuing authority will have discretion to order
the actual publication of the notices or summons otherwise than in
Devanagri script though the original is in that script. In exercising this
