G.L. No. 73/VIII a-14 dated 29th October, 1948 read with
G.L. No. 7/VIII a-14 dated 12th February, 1949

If the criminal work is heavy, all working days should be devoted to sessions
cases and criminal appeals in which accused persons are in jail. Saturdays may, however
be excluded if required for miscellaneous work.
C.E. No. 39/VII-d-102 dated 18th March, 1971
A case should be dismissed in absentia, as far as possible, only when the same has
been listed peremptorily twice.
G.L. No. 12/VIII-b-13 dated 15th September, 1951

When a presiding officer takes short leave, he should, so far as practicable, take
care to adjourn beforehand the cases fixed for hearing during the period when he would
be absent on leave and to give timely information thereof to counsel for the parties and,
where possible, also to parties themselves and their witnesses. In criminal cases such
information should, where practicable, also be given to jurors or assessors. Where there
may be difficulty in giving information to any counsel for the parties owing to his
absence from the station or for some other cause, such information may usefully be sent
also to the Bar Association concerned.
G.L. No. 4311/67-8 dated 22nd December, 1916

In fixing adjournments dates courts should see-
1. that cases are adjourned to dates on which there is a reasonable hope of their
being heard;
2. that strict precedence is given to adjourned cases;
3. that the adjourned cases are heard de die in diem until completed; and
4. that if a case is decided either ex parte or in default restoration be not granted
except for sufficient cause shown to the satisfaction of the court.
G.L. No. 50 dated 17th August, 1948

An effort should always be made to bring old cases to as speedy a decision as
possible. Whenever old cases have to be adjourned, they should be adjourned to nearer
dates. In case they are already booked with later cases, the later cases should be
adjourned to give preference to older ones.

It is expected that a careful fixing of the cause list may not lead to such frequent
adjournments. The practice of allowing long interval to intervene between the close of
evidence and the hearing of arguments should also be avoided.
C.L. No. 3/VIII h-13 dated 16th January, 1980

The courts should be strict in the matter of granting adjournment of cases for
filing written statements.
C.L. No. 67 dated 28th October, 1964

Presiding Officers should follow the instructions contained in rule 81 of Chapter
III of General Rules, (Civil), 1957, Volume I which requires that a Judge before
beginning his work for the day should go through the cause list, dispose of all
