thereon and other facts which may have a bearing on disposal.
G.L. No. 1/IV-h-14/90, dated 8th November, 1990
Quantum of work for Judicial Officers
I am directed to refer to Court's General Letter No. 53/IV-h-14/84, dated August
29, 1984, on the above subject, and to say that on receiving representations and proposals
from some quarters regarding revision in the quantum of out-turn of work of Judicial
Officers, the Court has re-examined the standard of out-turn fixed for various types of
cases and other proceedings required to be done by Presiding Officers of the Sessions,
Civil and Criminal courts and has been pleased to make some modifications in the
standard of work prescribed under the General Letter aforesaid. The revised minimum
standard of work, is contained in Schedules 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', and 'E', annexed to this letter.
This modified standard will come into effect from January 1, 1991.
The contents of this General Letter including those of the annexed Schedules, may
kindly be brought to the notice of all the Officers working under you for their guidance
102
and compliance. They should also be told specifically that submission of correct quarterly
statements of out-turn in the prescribed form is their personal responsibility and as such
they must take special care to check the statements before submission, so that there may
not be any occasion for making a representation in that regard afterwards.

evidence and hours devoted for arguments.

Cases under Section 6(1) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1952 and
Essential Commodities Act, 1955 are triable by Special Judges. These cases
should not be classed as Sessions Trials. A note, however, should be made in
the return of the time spent over such cases with details as to their number
and nature.

 All Sessions Trials which are tried together, in which evidence is recorded
only once and which are disposed of by one judgment will be counted as
only one case for purpose of counting the number of days taken in their
disposal. The time devoted to part heard Sessions Trials will be accounted
for only in that financial year in which such cases are concluded.

 In part-heard cases which are not concluded in the same financial year, the
Presiding Officer may make a note in the statement of out-turn indicating the
precise work done and the time spent therein. In the case of an officer other
than the District Judge, the District Judge shall vouch the correctness of the
note by countersigning the same.
