Strict compliance of these directions is the personal responsibility of all judicial
officers who should also see that the calculations of judicial work done by them are
correctly made by their offices.
C.L. No. C-34/70 dated 23rd March, 1970

The statements of outturn for the quarter ending March 31 should be sent early so
as to reach the Court latest by April 17 each year to enable the Court to give annual
remarks in time.
G.L. No. 1/IV-14 dated 18th October, 1960, read with
C.L. No. C-34/70 dated 23rd March, 1970

The statements are sometimes incomplete and erroneous in as much as the outturn
of an officer transferred to another station during the quarter is omitted or part-heard
cases of one quarter are shown in both the quarter without specifying the extra time
devoted. The office of the Court has to prepare a consolidated annual statement for the
financial year on the basis of the quarterly statements and the error consequently creeps
in the annual statement too.

In order to avoid such omissions and mistakes it has been decided that in the
statement of outturn for the quarter ending March, each year, two column should be
added to show the annual outturn of work of each judicial officer and the actual number
of days on which he worked during the year excluding those devoted to miscellaneous
work and inspections. A note about the extra time devoted, if any, in respect of all the
cases disposed of during the financial year and the time spent in hearing part-heard cases
during the quarter ending March only should be made in the remarks column of the
statement. Particular care should be taken that the outturn of the officers transferred
during the quarter is not omitted.
C.L. No. C-137/74 dated 5th September, 1974

The time devoted to the part-heard cases should be accounted for only in that
financial year in which such cases are concluded.
C.L. No. 11 dated 5th December, 1903

When any change of officers takes place within a quarter, the number of cases left
pending by the officer relieved should be shown in the remarks column of the statements.
