other work, and transfer the same to courts where the same can be disposed of. There is
no point in transferring cases to courts without taking into consideration the quantum of
disposal. The District Judge can redistribute the work after taking over in a district to
ensure that the work of the Prescribed Authority, Rent Control Appeals and Revision,
Appeals under the U.P. Imposition of Ceiling and Land Holdings Act and important civil
and criminal cases are heard by such officers who are capable of disposing of such
matters promptly and properly. The distribution of work should not be left to the officials.
This is a work, which the District Judge is required to attend to personally.
Corruption among Class III and Class IV employees
Whenever a District Judge receives a complaint against a Class III or a class IV
employee of the judgeship, he should refer the matter to a standing committee of three
officers one from the rank of Additional District Judge, one from the rank of Civil Judge
or C.J.M. and one from the rank of Munsif-Magistrate of at least five years standing. The
Standing Committee should examine the matter and submit a report to the District Judge
promptly but not later than a week. If the report shows that a prima facie case has been
made out, the District Judge may appoint an Enquiry Officer, charges should be framed
and an appropriate enquiry ordered. Thereafter, the enquiry may proceed in accordance
with the rules and on his report being submitted, the District Judge should pass
appropriate orders. A departmental enquiry should be expeditiously held and firm action
should be taken.

MEASURES TO PREVENT CORRUPTION
C. L. No. 3 dated 3rd February, 1976
It is the duty of every judicial officer to see that no form of corruption prevails in
his court or office. There are many sources of corruption, which an officer can easily
eliminate without moving from his chair, but with a little care. Some of them are:
(1)
Peshkars charge money from litigants for informing them of the date fixed
in cases. To abolish this, the officer must himself announce the date fixed,
loudly to the hearing of the litigant. In addition he should see that the
Peshkar writes down the date on a slip of paper and after signing it hands
it to the parties or their pleaders, in the officer's presence.
(2)
The Magistrates should never grant the first remand to the police until they
have handed over all the requisite papers to the court clerk. This is
necessary to eliminate the corruption rampant in the police clerks in
keeping the papers with them for the purpose of giving surreptitious
