C.L. No. 102/VIII-e-89 dated 15th November, 1961

To avoid chances of discrimination and complaint and to ensure better and proper
defence of pauper accused a list of willing and competent lawyers be maintained and
cases should be allotted to them in rotation. The list should be revised in February and
given effect to from March each year.
C.L. No. 18 dated 18th January, 1969

Amicus curiae under rule 37, General Rules (Criminal) should be appointed at
least two weeks before the date fixed for hearing of the trial because if the amicus curiae
are appointed on the date fixed for the hearing of the Sessions trial, the trial has
necessarily to be adjourned. In case the Judge proceeds with the trial, the same day the
trial is ab initio invalid as held by the Supreme Court.

SUMMARY TRIAL
C.L. No. 4 dated 3rd October, 1975

Please invite the attention of all officers under your charge to section 206 Cr.P.C.
and invite them to make use of this provision as and when occasion arises. In such cases
the accused should be told in- plain and simple language, inter alia, that if he so desires
he can plead guilty without appearing and by transmitting, before the specified date, by
post, or by a messenger, to the Magistrate such plea as well as the amount specified in the
summons.
C.L. No. 104/VII-b-108 dated 6th August, 1975

Magistrate should strictly follow the provisions of section 206(i) of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1973 while deciding cases under section 260 of the said Code.
C.L. No. 1 dated 14th January, 1976

In criminal cases, a very liberal use of sections 205 and 206 Cr.P.C. should be
made.
C.L. No. 4 dated 3rd February, 1976

The provisions of sections 205 and 206, Cr.P.C. should invariably be used in petty
cases. It is true that forms for section 206 are not yet available. The substance of section
206, Cr.P.C. is that the accused need not come. He may not even engage a counsel. He is
required to send the proposed amount of fine to the Court along with a plea of guilty.
This idea can be formulated in simple language so that a villager may understand and
comply. The District Judges may prepare rubber seals, containing a few sentences to
convey the idea behind section 206 and get the seals stamped on the usual summons or on
its reverse side.

Section 206 will help in improving the disposal of the officers and in executing
the policy of the legislature in saving unnecessary cost to the litigant.
C.L. No. 66 dated 11th May, 1976

The District Judges are requested to arrange rubber stamps for all the magisterial
courts, in following words:-
