INSPECTION BY DISTRICT JUDGE
C.L. NO. 79 DATED 15TH DECEMBER, 1960

The District Judge should inspect the work of the new Munsif posted to his
district on his first appointment, within three months of his posting and should submit to
the High Court the inspection note recorded by him without waiting for the compliance.
C.L. NO. 2437 DATED 27TH JULY, 1903

Court has had occasion to notice that some District Judges, in submitting their
notes of inspection of subordinate courts, forwarded at the same time a report by their
Munsarim on the working of certain department of the office under inspection. The Court
has no objection to a subordinate official being deputed to verify points on which a
District Judge desires to have fuller information but it considers that the inspection of a
subordinate Court and of its office and the report thereon should be the work of the Judge
himself.
C.L. NO. 71/IVF-79 DATED 31ST OCTOBER, 1964

Inspections of the subordinate courts and offices should be made by the District
Judges or the officiating District Judges themselves, and not by Additional District

absence or for any other reason as required in rule 610 Chapter XXVI of General Rules
(Civil) 1957, Volume I.
