left at the close of the year. No emergent indents will be passed unless there are very
cogent reasons to the contrary.
C.L. No. 52/10-Q (a), dated 26th August, 1950
Emergent indents should be submitted only when the stock of forms has, for
reasons beyond the control of the indenting officers, been exhausted. In all such cases
reasons necessitating submission of an emergent indent should be clearly given either in
the indent itself or in the letter accompanying it.
C.L. No. 3-Q(b), dated 7th January, 1953
Provisions of paragraphs 38 and 43 of the Printing and Stationery Manual relating
to preparation, submission and compliance of indents for forms should be strictly
followed and due consideration be given to avoid the necessity of placing supplementary
and emergent indents. Both, over-estimating and under-estimating, lead to unwelcome
issues and unnecessary extra expenses to Government. Every effort should, therefore be
made to estimate the requirement correctly taking into consideration all possible foreseen
demands. The indents should cover the requirements for 15 months minus the stock-inhand, and should be prepared on the basis of past three years' average consumption. They
should be made in the prescribed form only and be submitted through the proper channel
strictly according to the time table laid down in paragraph 42 of the Manual. Submitting
of indents in contravention of programme, with any special requests followed by
telegrams or D.O. letters to comply before time, upset the regular programme of supply
in the office of the Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U. P. Allahabad.
C.L. No. 4/Q (b), dated 20th January, 1961
In compliance with paragraph 42 of the Printing and Stationery Manual indents
for forms should be submitted well in advance so as to reach the Court positively before
the date fixed for the purpose. Delay in submission of the indents results in ultimate
delay in supply of forms by the Press. Further, there should be no difference between
estimate submitted under C.L. No. 66, dated July 11, 1958 and the requirements shown
in the annual indent, and where figures are excessive reasons may be recorded.
C.L. No. 103/VIIIb-206, dated 29th September, 1969
In order to avoid delay in meeting demand of saleable forms, the Indenting
Officers should take prompt action themselves by submitting the indents for the said
forms to the Press well in advance in accordance with the provisions given in the Manual
of Printing and Stationery and should follow the direction given in Chapter XX of
General Rules (Civil), 1957 in this regard rigidly.
The shortage of forms can be avoided if the quantity of saleable forms which is
allowed as a permanent advance to the District is recouped in accordance with the
provisions laid down in para 42 of the Printing and Stationery Manual and Rules 514 of
the General Rules (Civil) well in advance. If, however, the quantity of saleable forms
fixed by the Court as permanent advance is considered inadequate, the matter may be
reviewed every third year and variation, if any, brought to the notice of the Court so that

timely steps for increase in the permanent advance may be taken and in case, the saleable
forms in question are not supplied .by the Government Press within a reasonable time,
the matter be taken up with it directly so that Government work may not suffer.
C.L. No. 87 /Main C, dated 28th August, 1969
While sending either the indent of stationery or the demand of local purchases the
provisions contained in the Printing and Stationery Manual should strictly be complied
with. The indent for the above purpose should invariably be submitted to the Court in
duplicate well in advance so that the same may be scrutinized by the Court and forwarded
to the Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P.,Allahabad for expeditious supply of
stationery. In case stationery is not supplied within a reasonable period, the matter should
be taken up with the Superintendent, Printing and Stationery,* so that local purchase may,
as far as possible be avoided.
In case it is felt that local purchases are necessary in the interest of government
work, prior sanction of the Court should be obtained and while making a request
therefore it should be ensured that there is no infringement of the provisions contained in
the Printing and Stationery Manual.
C.L. No. 182/Main 2(b), dated 21st December, 1974
Consolidated indent of non-saleable H.C.J. Forms should be sent to the
Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U.P., Allahabad, latest by the 1st April, every
year.
C.L. No. 132/VIIIb-16, dated 20th December, 1989
Forms declared obsolete should not be used under any circumstance.
C.L. No. 8 Main Q (b)/Budget, dated 17th December, 1977
District Judges should send indents to the Government Press in time and mention
therein full details of forms needed viz., form number, part, etc., so that Government
Press may be in a position to supply the forms, registers, etc.
Inspectors of Government Press occasionally visit districts to assess the position
of non-supply of forms to various District Judges. They should bring to the notice of the
Forms Inspector, their requirement of forms or inadequacy in supply of forms, registers,
etc. so that Forms Inspectors may ask the Government Press to supply forms in sufficient
number.
C.L. No. 53/Budget, dated 25th August, 1983
While inviting attention to the Court's C. L. No. 81/Budget-1, dated October 27,
1980 the District Judges are requested to move the Government Press for enhancement in
monetary allotment in accordance with the rules and to ensure that sufficient quantity of
stationery is made available in the judgeships so that there may not be any dislocation of
