and controlling authorities appointed for the regulation of building operations in the
regulated areas. It is, therefore, necessary that prior sanction of the prescribed authority
should be taken before any building operations are conducted within the limits of a
regulated area. The District Judges should comply strictly with the directions contained in
the Act and in the G.O. referred to above even in respect of government constructions.
C.L. No. 119/Ne-Jee-10 dated 23rd September, 1971
According to section 6 of U.P. (Regulation of Building Operations) Act, 1958,
permission should be taken from the prescribed authority concerned before starting
construction work in regulated areas and attempt should also be made not to encroach on
the excess land as shown in Land Use of the master plan.
(k) Valuation
C.L. No. 70 dated 22nd July, 1969
Instructions contained in Government Circular Endorsement no. 2388(i)-CB/23PCC-2CB/1968, dated May 21, 1968 regarding valuation of building by the Public
Works Department should be complied with strictly.
(l) Electric Installation
G.L. No. 13 dated 4th June, 1931
All Judicial officers should arrange for the maintenance of electrical installations in
the buildings under their charge as soon as the installations are made over to them.
G.L. No. 4186 dated 16th August, 1940
The cut-outs and neutral links referred to in rule 30, Indian Electricity Rules, 1954,
are not part of the service line as defined by the first proviso, sub-head (b) to clause VI(I),
Schedule, Indian Electricity Act, 1910 and their cost is not payable by consumers.
All District Judges should, therefore, refuse payment for such links and cut-outs.
G.L. No. 3827-B-1/49 dated 26th April, 1949
All District Judges, while proposing creation of temporary courts, should state
whether or not the court building is fitted with electricity thus enabling the Court to
sanction contingent grant in terms of G.O. no. 542/VII-378-47, dated April 16, 1949.
The contingent grants for temporary courts of Additional District Judges, Civil
Judges and Munsifs are to be at the following rates, namely -
(1)
Rs. 25 per mensem for courts fitted with electric fans.
(2)
Rs. 60 per mensem for courts not fitted with electric fans and where
Punkha pullers are employed for the period, 16th April to 15th October
and at Rs. 25 per mensem for the rest of the year.
G.L. No. 9/46-63-611 dated 16th May, 1945
The Government have not issued any general orders allowing payment of
maintenance charges of electric installation up to 3-1/2 per cent per annum of the cost of
such installations in the case of non-residential buildings. The practice followed at
present is for the head of a department to lay down a normal annual grant for
249
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.
G.L. No. 6/46-63-482 dated 24th February, 1940
The Government has directed that if the percentage charges amount to less than Rs.
100.00 on any individual work undertaken by the Irrigation Branch on behalf of the
Building and Road Branch, or by the Building and Roads Branch on behalf of any other
Government Department including the Irrigation Branch, the charges in such cases will
be waived.
C.L. No. 34/X(b) dated 7th May, 1962
A note should be kept to take care in future in all cases where there is new wiring in
a record room or a new record room is constructed that the wiring is all outside the record
room and the wires are brought into the record room through the wall close to the place
where the light point is to be fixed.
C.E. No. 37-M dated 16th May, 1962
Use of electric heaters is not allowed even in the hill districts.
(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.
[3] ESTIMATES
(i) Court‟s previous sanction necessary
G.L. No. 45/67 dated 20th August, 1934
Funds for (i) petty and minor works, (ii) maintenance and repairs, and (iii)
preparation of estimates and plans have been placed at the disposal of the High Court,
and before any expenditure on account of work of an original nature or special and
quadrennial repairs can be incurred, it is necessary to obtain the previous sanction of the
High Court. The fact that funds can only be allotted against sanctioned estimate should
