 Fridays may be set part for the disposal of criminal appeals, small cause court cases
and old civil cases including old civil appeals by such officers, as have such cases on
their file.
G.L. No. 11/67-3 dated 1st May, 1941
(10) Sessions cases should be heard from day to day until their conclusion,
unless there is an unavoidable breakdown in the case. In order to prevent waste of the
time of court in the event of such a breakdown appellate work may also be fixed on the
same day along with sessions work. By the exercise of care in the fixing of dates,
Sessions Judges should be able to prevent loss of time with the minimum of
inconvenience to parties and their counsel.
C.L. No. 26/IV-28 dated 23rd March, 1949
(11) Civil Judges, Additional Civil Judges and Judges of the Courts of Small
Causes in Agra and the Judges Small Cause Court, Lucknow, are ex officio Assistant
Sessions Judges and, any officer who holds any of the offices mentioned above will
automatically exercise the powers of an Assistant Sessions Judge within the local limits
of the Sessions Division where he is for the time being posted, without the issue of a
fresh notification by Government. But District Judges should, while transferring criminal
work to Judges of the Courts of Small Causes, make sure that the Small Causes Court
work pending on their file does not suffer by reason of the transfer of sessions work to
those officers.
C.L. No. 125/IV-h-14 dated 10th December, 1932

(12) Cases under sections 302 and 396 of the Indian Penal Code and dacoity
cases should be given preference over cases under section 6(1) of the Criminal Law
(Amendment) Act.
C.L. No. 41 /V-g-28 dated 25th April, 1953
(13) Criminal work should, so far as possible, be done by Assistant Sessions
Judges on continuous days, which may be reserved for such work in advance every
month. As criminal work is received by transfer, it should be fixed for disposal on those
days. Some civil cases of a light nature including fresh Munsif's appeals may also be
fixed for hearing on those days so that in case the criminal work is not found to be
sufficient to keep the officer fully occupied on the days reserved for criminal work, he
may not have to sit idle on those days. By adopting this method, civil work will not be
dislocated.
(This does not apply to officers who have been or may be declared unfit for
promotion as Additional District Judges and in the absence of any special orders no
criminal work should be transferred to them for disposal).
C.L. No. 20/VII-h-13-2/53 dated 7th February, 1953
(14) Criminal appeals against decision of Assistant Sessions Judges, which lie to
the Sessions Judge, should not be transferred to junior Additional District Judge but
should be heard by the District and Sessions Judge himself.
