Instruction contained in G.O. No. C-2470/Xh-666-1965, dated August 19, 1966,
of the Finance (C) Department and other G.OS. regarding economy measures to be
strictly adhered to. Expenditure on items like stationery, contingencies, etc. should in no
circumstance exceed the budgetary allotment and no proposal for additional funds
through supplementary estimates should be sent to the Court. Quarterly report/statements

Maintenance of Stationery Register
C.L. No. 79, dated 7th August, 1958
The practice of a Stationery Register in Provincial Form no. 180 being
maintained both in the office of the District Judge as well as in all the offices of the
courts subordinate to him multiplies work. It has, therefore, been decided that this
register should be maintained only in the office of the District Judge and in the offices of
the Additional District Judges and Munsifs not at headquarters and that stationery at one
station should be issued by the court maintaining the register.
C.L. No. 81/Budget-1, dated 27th October, 1980
Effective steps should be taken most expeditiously so as to ensure that sufficient
quantity of stationery is available and there is no dislocation of work in the subordinate
courts for want of stationery. The practice of local purchase of stationery should be
avoided as far as possible. In exceptional cases local purchase of' stationery should,
however be made, but that too strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Printing
and Stationery Manual, after obtaining the approval of the competent authority.
Indents for H. C. J. Forms
G.L. No. 5/16, dated 16th February, 1943
Indents should not be delayed and should be submitted in the light of remarks
made in G.O. No. U.O. 907/XVIII-163(L), dated the 5th October, 1940, regarding the
late dispatch of indents by indenting officers.
C.E. No. 66/I-J, dated 1st April, 1937
The District Judges should submit a consolidated indent covering the
requirements of stationery for their office as well as for additional courts.
G.L. No. 22/IJ, dated 1st April, 1937
Rule 40, on page 12 of the Printing and Stationery Manual shows that indenting
officers should not ask the press to supply any part of the annual indent in advance of the
due date, but should submit an emergent indent through the proper channel in accordance
with the provisions of that Manual.
C.L. No. 13Q-(a), dated 16th February, 1950
The indent should be prepared with due care so that it may not be necessary to
send emergent indents during the course of the year and large surplus stocks are also not
86
left at the close of the year. No emergent indents will be passed unless there are very
cogent reasons to the contrary.
C.L. No. 52/10-Q (a), dated 26th August, 1950
Emergent indents should be submitted only when the stock of forms has, for
reasons beyond the control of the indenting officers, been exhausted. In all such cases
reasons necessitating submission of an emergent indent should be clearly given either in
the indent itself or in the letter accompanying it.
C.L. No. 3-Q(b), dated 7th January, 1953
Provisions of paragraphs 38 and 43 of the Printing and Stationery Manual relating
to preparation, submission and compliance of indents for forms should be strictly
followed and due consideration be given to avoid the necessity of placing supplementary
and emergent indents. Both, over-estimating and under-estimating, lead to unwelcome
issues and unnecessary extra expenses to Government. Every effort should, therefore be
made to estimate the requirement correctly taking into consideration all possible foreseen
demands. The indents should cover the requirements for 15 months minus the stock-inhand, and should be prepared on the basis of past three years' average consumption. They
should be made in the prescribed form only and be submitted through the proper channel
strictly according to the time table laid down in paragraph 42 of the Manual. Submitting
of indents in contravention of programme, with any special requests followed by
telegrams or D.O. letters to comply before time, upset the regular programme of supply
in the office of the Superintendent, Printing and Stationery, U. P. Allahabad.
C.L. No. 4/Q (b), dated 20th January, 1961
In compliance with paragraph 42 of the Printing and Stationery Manual indents
for forms should be submitted well in advance so as to reach the Court positively before
the date fixed for the purpose. Delay in submission of the indents results in ultimate
delay in supply of forms by the Press. Further, there should be no difference between
estimate submitted under C.L. No. 66, dated July 11, 1958 and the requirements shown
in the annual indent, and where figures are excessive reasons may be recorded.
C.L. No. 103/VIIIb-206, dated 29th September, 1969
In order to avoid delay in meeting demand of saleable forms, the Indenting
Officers should take prompt action themselves by submitting the indents for the said
forms to the Press well in advance in accordance with the provisions given in the Manual
of Printing and Stationery and should follow the direction given in Chapter XX of
General Rules (Civil), 1957 in this regard rigidly.
The shortage of forms can be avoided if the quantity of saleable forms which is
allowed as a permanent advance to the District is recouped in accordance with the
provisions laid down in para 42 of the Printing and Stationery Manual and Rules 514 of
the General Rules (Civil) well in advance. If, however, the quantity of saleable forms
fixed by the Court as permanent advance is considered inadequate, the matter may be
reviewed every third year and variation, if any, brought to the notice of the Court so that
