does not submit the same. As such, it is very important that G.P. Fund Pass-Book of
Judicial Officers are prepared and maintained in judgeship by Bill Clerk/Accounts Clerk
of concerned Judgeship under signature and seal of the District Judge. Further the process
for obtaining application in Form 425-A from retiring Judicial Officers up dating his G.P.
Fund Pass-Book and preparation of calculation sheets of his G.P. Fund must start prior to
six month of his retirement in the Judgeship and complete set consisting all the
documents be submitted to enable for obtaining orders sanctioning 90% of G.P. Fund by
the Court prior to retirement.
Besides, the above stated facts, the Court has been pleased to observe that
imperative instruction are embodied in various Government orders that 90% G.P.F.
payment has necessarilly to be made within one month after the retirement/death of the
Subscribers. This Court has also directed to draw the attention of the District Judges on
the decision of the Apex Court rendered in Gorakhpur University & Others. Vs. Dr.
Shitla Prasad & Ors. JT 2001 (6)SC 285, the quintessance of which is abstracted
below:-
"This Court has been repeatedly emphasising the position that pension and
gratuity are no longer matters of any bounty to be distributed by Government but
are valuable rights acquired and property in their hands and anydelay in
settlement and disbursement whereof should be viewed seriously and dealt with
severely by imposing penalty in the form of payment of interest..... Such is the
position with reference to amounts due towards provident Fund..........."
While observing that avoidable delay in settlement of post retiral benefits of
Judicial Officers many a times is attributable to District Judges the Court has decided that
an imperative instruction should be issued to all the District Judges by way of circular
that any lapse or consequent avoidable delay in initiating steps and furnishing details will
not be brooked and the concerned District Judge shall be held accountable and this will
rebound to their discredit reflecting on their effective supervision of the Judgeship.
I am, therefore to request you kindly to ensure submission of complete G.P. Fund
Pass-Book and calculation sheets of G.P. Fund of retiring Judicial Officer prior to their
retirement with your proposal in the capacity of Drawing and Disbursing Officer of the
Judgeship for sanction of 90% of his G.P. Fund duly recommended by the Treasury
Officer of the District to this Court in accordance with General Provident Fund (Uttar
Pradesh) (Second Amendment) Rules 2000 and G.O. No. Sa-4-775/X-2000 dated
17.11.2000 so as to enable this Court to sanction 90% of G.P. Fund of retiring Judicial
Officer prior to his retirement and in other cases i.e., death etc. without any avoidable
delay,

[6] VISIT OF HON‟BLE JUDGES
C.L. No. 26/IC-7 dated 23rd April, 1992
Visit of Hon'ble the Chief Justice to subordinate Court
I am directed to refer to Court‟s Circular Letter No. 8/1C-7, dated January 16,1986
and to say that its directions are not being followed. Further, it may be emphasised that
while the Hon‟ble the Chief Justice is on a visit to a District, the Judicial Officers of the
stations need not and should not come only to pay their respect to his Lordship as it only
entail waste of their time and inconvenience to the lawyers and the litigants. Similarly the
