COURT SEAL High Court Seal C.L.No.3442/DR (J) IX C-7 dated 14th September, 1989 The seal of the Court presently in use has become completely worn out and blurred. A new seal will, therefore, be brought in use with effect from 3.10.1989 in place of the old Seal. An impression of the new seal is as indicated below: Seal for subordinate magistrates' courts C.L.No.100/VIII-a-1 dated 7th November, 1961 All magisterial courts doing criminal work are required to get the seals, for use in their courts and the courts subordinate to them, prepared according to the form and dimensions of the seals given in the specimens sent with the Circular Letter. Court Seal for Munsif Magistrates. C.L.No.94/IX-g-12 dated 12th September, 1969 For Munsifs invested with magisterial powers, a separate seal having the inscription ―Munsif-Magistrate‖ having the design and shape of the seal of Munsif as given in Appendix 23 of G.R. (Civil) read with rule 649 thereof has been prescribed. It has to be prepared locally. Use of rubber stamps G.L.No.44/D dated 7th November, 1932 The rubber stamps may be used by ministerial officers for routine orders. C.L. No. 41/IXe-7/ (Admin. F)/ Dated 18th August, 2000 Use of embossing seal of the Court. 495 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. 22. USE OF OFFICIAL FORMS G.L.No.15/44-4 (12) dated 9th May, 1930 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. 24. HINDI EDITION OF CENTRAL ACTS. C.L.No.50 X-e-5 dated 23rd April, 1970 Whenever necessary, only the Hindi translations of Central Acts authenticated under clause (a) of sub-section (i) of section 5 of the Official Language Act, 1963, which are available with the Manager of Publication, Government of India, Civil Lines, Delhi should be used.
