C.L. No. 126/IV-g-3 dated 14th December, 1951
The summoning of District Election Officers and Returning Officers to give
evidence outside the district their posting dislocates election work. Sessions Judges and
Assistant Sessions Judges may, therefore, consider the advisability of not summoning
District Election Officers and Returning Officers to give evidence outside their districts
up to the end of the general elections to enable them to devote their whole time to the
proper discharge of their duties connected with the elections. If it is found absolutely
necessary to examine any particular officer, Sessions Judges may consider the possibility
of examining him on commission or, of recording his evidence on one day in all the cases
in which his attendance might be required before the end of the general elections.
