Is sufficient water available for irrigation?
(4)
In case of non-availability of water how irrigation is done at present?
(5)
In case there is a pumping set fitted in the court compound,
the amounts actually spent during the last three years on :-
(a)
Maintenance of the pumping set,
(b)
Electric consumption charges, etc. and
(c)
Other miscellaneous expenditures;
(6)
Is any coolie engaged for the maintenance of the garden and lawn? If so,
the period for which he is engaged, the justification therefore based on
facts and figures keeping in view the number of Malis sanctioned for the
judgeship and the norm fixed therefor.
(iii) Estimates for petty works, special and quadrennial repairs
G.L. No. 22/IXg-15 dated 3rd April, 1948
The estimate of anticipated expenditure under "petty works", "special repairs" and
"quadrennial repairs" heads are not forwarded by a definite date, as is done in the case of
demands for "annual repairs" and improvements of court compounds". This results in a
very irregular flow of demands, and there is always a chance of funds being allotted for
less urgent demands pending at a particular time, in preference to more urgent demands
that arise later. Further dislocation is caused by accumulation of demands received late in
the financial year and instances are not lacking in which allowance made against such
demands were allowed to lapse. The solution of the difficulty seems to be to put all the
demands likely to arise in the course of a financial year before the High Court at one time
for allotment of funds in order of urgency. District Judges should, therefore, send three
separate lists showing the amount required for such-
(i)
Petty works,
(ii)
Special repairs,
(iii)
Quadrennial repairs as they intend carrying out to the various buildings
under their charge during the current financial year. These lists should be
accompanied by -
(a) a note showing the urgency of each item of expenditure proposed in
the lists,
(b) a report whether necessary material is available for carrying out the
work,
(c) estimate in duplicate for each work fully certified by the Central
Nazir to the effect that the rates quoted therein do not exceed Public
Works Department rates,
(d) plan of the new structure (if one has been proposed in the list)
together with a site plan showing the existing and the proposed
structures in the compound,
(e) in case of works relating to residential buildings, (i) a report from
the Public Works Department whether the proposed expenditure

would enhance the capital value of the building, and (ii) rent
statement of the residence, if necessary, and
(f)
in case of electrical works, reports required under paragraph 277 of
Financial Handbook, Volume V, Part I.
C.L. No. 109/IXg-27 dated 6th November, 1951
The lists may be sent as early as possible but not later than the 31st of July each
year.
It is necessary that quadrennial repairs to residential and court buildings are carried
out after every four years. District Judges should, therefore, submit a statement on the
form appended below by the 31st of March every year. The requisition for funds should
accompany all estimates which should be duly certified by the Central Nazir to the above
effect -
Sl.No. Name

Nature

(v) P.W.D. rates
G.L. No. 55/67-7 dated 25th October, 1935

be certified that the rates quoted therein are in accordance with the latest Public Works
Department rates. This direction should be carefully noted for strict compliance.
