1957, which requires that the record should be submitted within eight days of the order
of commitment. This is highly objectionable.
In cases where the record is likely to take long in preparation or when it is
required for recording evidence under section 219of the Code of Criminal Procedure, it
should not be allowed to be detained in the Magistrate's court. The sessions court should
get it for fixing dates and may return it when not required to the committing court for
preparation or for the taking of proceedings under section 219 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure as the case may be.
C.L. No. 151/VIIIa-99 dated 15th December, 1975
Separate registers for F.I.Rs., statements under section 164, Cr.P.C., dying
declarations,, report of Chemical Examiner Serologist and other experts including
ballistic experts, affidavits and identification memos should be maintained in the court of
every Magistrate and all those documents, whichever may be available at the time of
passing of the committal orders, be submitted to the courts of Sessions along with the
committal orders.
C.L. No. 8/iv f 80 Admn. (A) dated 18th February, 1981
There should be a regular flow of commitment of cases to the sessions so as to
avoid increase or decrease in pending sessions trials all of a sudden. If cases are
committed to the court of sessions regularly, the pending files of sessions trials may not
increase or decrease from month to month-necessitating withdrawal or posting of
additional courts at short intervals.
(i)
Expeditious disposal of Criminal cases and avoiding delay in committing

cases to the sessions.
C.L. No. 27/VIIb-47 Dated; Alld. Nov., 05, 1973
I am directed to refer to Court's Circular Letter No. 96, dated July 19, 1971 and to
say that it has come to the notice of the Court that due to unnecessary delay caused in the
committal proceedings, the accused, who are on bail, get an opportunity to win over the
prosecution witnesses and weaken the evidence against them. In consequence, the
prosecution is unable to establish charges leveled against the accused. Such difficulties
can be obviated to a great extent in case committal proceedings are finalised
expeditiously.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to impress upon all the committing Courts
under your control to see that committal proceedings are finalized expeditiously, so that
the disposal of Criminal cases is not unnecessarily delayed.
(ii)
Disposal of committal cases by the Judicial Magistrates.
C.L No. 25/VIII -106/ Admn./96 dated May 18, 1996
I am directed to say that a large number of cases are pending in your judgeship for
committal. The delay in committing the cases to the Court of Sessions results in
