maintenance of the building as a whole, allowing, of course, 12-1/2 per cent of the capital
cost for electric installations but it is left entirely to the discretion of the officer operating
on the estimate to vary the proportion of funds thus available on electric installation and
other items. Items that cannot be met with under the normal grant are dealt with under
separate estimates for special repairs.

(v) Engagement
C.L. No. 35/98 dated Allahabad 20th August, 1998
Engagement of other agencies of repute for construction work in the Judgeship.
It has been brought to the notice of the Hon'ble Court that the Government agencies
involved in the construction and maintenance of the building do not complete the work
within the time frame, This results in escalation of the prices. To avoid escalation of price
the District Judge and the officer-in-charge of the building should take care at every stage
from the time of acquisition of the land for getting the construction work completed
within the stipulated period. If it is felt that the agency assigned with the construction
work is not taking proper interest for any reason, then some other agency of repute may
be invited to take up the construction work and proposal may accordingly be sent to the
Court.
I am, therefore, directed to communicate the directions of the Hon'ble Court for
strict compliance.
