C.L. No. 158/71 dated 22nd December, 1971
The court feels that not only the disposal of an officer according to standard
prescribed but also the nature of the cases decided by him during a particular year should
be looked into for purposes of annual remarks. It is, therefore, necessary that a statement
showing the total number of various types of cases decided by the officer during the year
be also submitted to the Court. The statement should show the number of sessions trials,
criminal appeals, criminal revisions, regular suits, civil appeals, miscellaneous appeals,
civil revisions, etc. In case of criminal revisions and civil revisions the number of
revisions dismissed summarily should also be indicated. The statement containing these
particulars may be sent along with the quarterly statement of outturn for the last quarter
of the year ending March 31.

BUDGET ESTIMATES, STATEMENTS AND RETURNS
(i)
Submission of budget estimates
C.L. No. 6/X-B-2 (New Demands) dated 22nd January, 1968
Budget estimates and list of new demands are to be submitted to the Court
invariably by the first week of August every year after thorough examination and fully
justifying the demand item-wise. The new proposal of demands should not be submitted
direct to the Government.
C.L. No. 69/Budget-Xb-2 dated 12th October, 1984
The preparation of annual budget, including supplementary budgets is an
important matter. It is necessary that budget estimates are prepared and sent to the Court
well in time for consideration, so as to enable the court to submit the consolidated budget
to the Government within the prescribed date.

In case proper budget estimates are not received from the District Judges in time,
correct position cannot be ascertained and proper demands cannot be made to
Government. These results in, inadequate budget provision by the Government. In these
circumstances it becomes difficult for the Court to allot funds demanded by the District
Judges.

District Judges should ensure that the budget estimates are realistic and correct
leaving only small margins relatable to unexpected exigencies.

The importance of maintenance of correct accounts and proper and timely
compliance of the requirements of the Budget Manual should be impressed upon the
officer-in charge and officials entrusted with the work and strict control over the same
should be kept by the District Judge, so that the budget estimates prepared and submitted
by him are fairly realistic.
