INSPECTION NOTES
C.L. NO. 29/H/Admn. (D) dated 19th March, 1990

Inspection notes recorded by the District Judges and Chief Judicial Magistrates.
I am directed to say that in spite of detailed directions contained in the various
circular letters, issued by the Court on the subject, it has come to the notice of the Court
that when queries are made from the District Judges regarding the compliance of the
directions, issued by them during the course of inspection, the reply generally sent by
them is that the official/officer concerned has noted the directions for compliance without
actually obtaining the signatures of concerned officer/official and without sending the
extract of the note along with the compliance report, which makes it to appear that the
directions have not been complied with or noted for compliance.
It is, therefore, requested that in future such compliance reports be submitted duly
noted and complied with by all concerned along with extract of the note containing the
compliance report.
Your attention is also drawn to the Court‟s C.L. No. 102/H/Admn. (D), dated
19.9.78 and C.L. No. 49H/Admn. (D) dated 25.4.79 which contain the proforma of
surprise inspection note as well but it is generally noted that surprise inspection notes are
not sent on prescribed proforma with the result that certain important information are not
received in the Court.
329
The inspection notes are also not being submitted within the prescribed time,
which is only one month from the date of inspection as provided in the aforesaid Circular
Letter dated 25th April, 1979.
I am, therefore, to request you to kindly send the inspection notes duly complied
with well within time and in case of surprise inspection, the notes should be on the
prescribed proforma and compliance thereof should also be ensured before sending copy
of the inspection note to the court.

JOINT VISITS TO THE JAIL
C.L. NO. 82/VIIIF-9/inspection section Dated 12th September, 1994

Joint visits to the jail by the District Judge, the District Magistrate and the Senior
Superintendent of Police.
In continuation of earlier Court‟s General Letter No. 38/Admn. „B‟ dated 9.12.1968
and Court‟s Circular Letter No. 196/Admn. „A‟ dated 10.12.1976 and C.L. No. 82/VIIIg38 Admn. „G‟ dated 18.12.1981, I am directed to say that there should be quarterly visits
to the jail in each Sessions Division and such periodical visits should be conducted by the
District Judge, the District Magistrate and the Senior Superintendent of Police. The visit
should be made by them personally. It may please be ensured that they be not permitted
to depute any one else to the jail on their behalf at such joint inspection. The District
Judge will keep in touch with the District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police
and start such joint visits to the jail as early as possible.
I am, therefore, to request that inspection reports of such joint periodical visits to
the jail be prepared by District Judge and sent to this Court in time.
C.L. NO. 9/ADMN.‟G‟ DATED 9TH FEBRUARY, 2000

Joint visits to the jail by the District Judge, the District Magistrate and the Senior
Superintendent of Police.
In continuation of marginally noted circular letters. I am desired to inform you that
National Human Rights Commission deprecated about the inhuman conditions of the
under trials languishing in jails. Commission has also been appalled by the spectacle of
overcrowding, insanitary conditions and mismanagement of prison administration. The
problem is further compounded by lack of sensitivity on the part of the prison staff to the
basic human rights of the prisoners.
It has been provided in U.P. Jail Manual that District & Sessions Judges to function
as ex-officio visitors to jails within their jurisdiction so as to ensure that prison inmates
are not denied certain basic minimum standards of health, hygiene and institutional
treatment. Prisoners are in judicial custody and hence it is incumbent upon the Sessions
Judges to monitor their living conditions and ensure that humane conditions prevail
within the prison walls also. Time to time Hon‟ble Supreme Court has also directed that
the District & Sessions Judges must visit prisons for proper management of prison
administration. He should make expeditious enquiry into the grievance of the prisoners
and take suitable corrective measures.
