I am directed to inform you that the seat of the Court presently in use has been
completely worn-out and blurred; Hon'ble Court has now adopted embossing seal, which
would be placed at the blue sticker affixed on certified copy of the order/judgment
prepared by the Copying Department. If the certified copy is of two pages or more, in that
even beneath the sticker the end portion of the thread, stitching the copy of the
order/judgment shall be kept. The sample of the embossing seal of the High Court is also
placed at the bottom of this circular. All the embossing seal shall come into use w.e.f.
1.9.2000. Repeat that certified copy/judgment issued on or after 1.9.2000, bearing
embossing seal at the blue colour sticker shall be given recognition.
C.L. No. 6/2001 Dated: 7th February, 2001
(i)
Prohibition of use of rubber seals by the Judicial Officers in respect of the
orders proposed to be passed.

During proceedings of Criminal Misc. Application No. 6499 of 2000, Hon'ble
Court has observed that a peculiar procedure is being adopted by the presiding officers
that instead of the orders being written either by the presiding officer himself or by the
Reader on his direction, a rubber seal is being used. This is also against the provision of
section 18 of Chapter I of General Rules (Civil), 1957.

I am, therefore, required to request you kindly to direct all the Judicial Officers of
your Judgeship to write the judicial orders either by themselves or on their direction by
the Reader and no rubber seal shall be used in respect of the orders proposed to be passed
henceforth.

Rules 511 and 519 of Chapter XX of the General Rules (Civil), 1957, do not
allow any forms other than those printed at the Government Press to be used or accepted
by civil courts subordinate to the High Court.
23.
CASTE NOT TO BE MENTIONED
C.L.No. 47/V-c-132-49 dated 29th July, 1949
Except in certain specified cases the practice of specifying case in judicial forms
and registers in the subordinate courts is to be discontinued.

The column of caste should, therefore, be cancelled from all forms and registers,
civil or criminal, wherever it exists.
