I am therefore, to request you kindly to direct all the Judicial Officers posted in
your judgeship to ensure strict compliance of the above order of the Hon‟ble Court in the
matter.
SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION ABOUT PURCHASE OF MOVABLE
PROPERTY BY THE JUDICIAL OFFICERS
C.L. No. 35/IVh-16/Admin.(A)/ dated 23.11.2010
I have been directed to say that the expression "forthwith" in sub-rule (2) of rule
24 of U.P. Government Servants Conduct Rules 1956 connotes "immediately".
Therefore, information required under the said rule must be immediately sent to the
Hon‟ble Court by all concerned.
I am therefore, to request you kindly to circulate this to all the judicial officers
posted in your judgeship as well as the officers working on deputation, for their
information and strict compliance.
(xiv) Lending and Borrowing Money
C.L. No. 22/IV-2100/Admn(A)dated 6th June, 1997
Lending and borrowing money by the Judicial Officers.
I am directed to invite your attention to the provisions of Rule 22 of the
Government Servant's Conduct Rules, 1956, on the above subject and to say that it has
come to the notice of the Court that some time Judicial Officers do not obtain previous
sanction of the Court for borrowing money from any person as required under Rule 22(2)
on the ground that the proviso to Rule 22(2) permits them to accept a purely temporary
loan of small amount, free of interest, from a personal friend or relative.

The court has examined the matter and is of the view that if the proviso is read and
construed in context with Rule 22, it can be safely construed that the proviso to sub-Rule
(2) of Rule 22 is an independent enactment dealing with the borrowing by the
Government servent and its operation is not confined to local limits of the authority of the
Government servant. As clear from difference in language used in proviso to sub-Rule (1)
of Rule 22 dealing with loaning and the proviso to sub-Rule (2) of Rule (22)dealing
with borrowing, the legislative intention appears to discourage and prohibit the borrowing
of higher amounts, which may put the Government servant under financial constraints.
The proviso if given a restricted operation to local limits of authority of Government
servant, he may be left free to indulge in borrowing any amount. Thus very purpose of
Rule 22 shall stand defeated. The purpose of Rule is to provide a check against a
Government Servant to spend money beyond his known sources of means. The word
relative used in proviso to Rule 22(2) includes any relative including wife.
I am, therefore, to request you to kindly bring the contents of this circular letter to
the notice of all the Judicial Officers working under your control for their information
and strict compliance.

(xv) Honoraria for broadcasting
G.L. No. 67-46 40-96 dated 7th July, 1936
Payment of honorarium for broadcasting from an All India Radio station should be
made only when the Controller of Broadcasting considers it necessary and the head of the
office has no objection as it is desirable to encourage voluntary service. It should not
exceed the amount which he considers suitable in each case subject to the maximum
prescribed by the Government. Payments for regular assistance are subject to the
provisions of the rules contained in Government Servants Conduct Rules.
No payment should be made to Government Servants for talks connected with their
work and no conveyance allowance will be allowed in addition to the payment indicated
above.
C.L. No. 19 dated 5th March, 1965
Government servants should not undertake any occasional work of a literary,
artistic or scientific character without the prior sanction if it involves the acceptance of
remuneration as otherwise it will be in contravention of the provisions contained in rule15 of the Government Servant‟s Conduct Rules 1956.
(xvi) Regarding grant of permission to Judicial Officers for doing professional
courses
C.L No. 22/Adnm. (A), dated 1st May, 1996
I am directed to say that it has come to the notice of the Court that some time
Judicial Officers take admission or get themselves registered for professional courses
without obtaining prior permission of this Court. This is not a healthy practice. The Court
is of the view that the Judicial Officers must obtain prior permission of the Court before
committing to professional courses.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to bring the above fact to the notice of all the
Judicial Officers working under your administrative control for strict compliance in
future.
(xvii) Greeting Cards:
C.L. No. 108/G.C/Admn, „G‟ dated 18th November, 1994
Greeting on festive occasions to the Hon‟ble Chief Justice and other Hon‟ble Judges
of the Court
I am directed to say that the Court do not expect any Judicial officer to incur the
expense of sending New Year, Diwali or other Greeting Cards keeping in view the
expenditure involved therein and what is more their good wishes are always presumed to
be there for them.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to impress upon all the Judicial Officers that
they may keep in mind the aforesaid views of the Court and may not incur the expense in
sending New Year, Diwali or other Greeting Cards to Hon‟ble The Chief Justice and
Hon‟ble Judges of this Court in future.
C.L. No. 129/Admn.(G), dated 9th December, 1994
