From High Court at Allahabad
G.L. No. 1946 dated 11th May, 1925
In cases where a record is sent for under Chapter VIII, rule 215 of the General
Rules (Civil), 1957 in connection with an appeal to the High Court, other than an appeal
arising out of execution proceedings, the record referred to in Chapter VIII rule 215
should be understood as meaning Part I of the record prepared under Chapter V, rule 151.
C.L. No. 37 dated 21st July, 1960

In order to avoid delay in dispatch of records requisitioned by this Court and to
enable District Judges to exercise effective supervision over their office in this behalf the
following procedure should be strictly followed:
(1)
All requisitions marked urgent and records summoned on applications for bail
must be complied within twenty-four hours of the receipt of the requisition.
(2)
All other requisitions must be complied within ten days of their receipt.
(3)
A register should be maintained in the office of the District Judge showing-
(a)
the date of receipt of the requisition,
(b)
the date of dispatch of the record, and
(c)
the reasons for the delay in dispatch.
The Court will hold District Judges personally responsible for any unexplained
delay in the dispatch of records.
C.L. No. 4/VIII-74 dated 16th January, 1965

In all cases where the requisition is returned without compliance, reasons for noncompliance should invariably be noted in brief in the remarks column of the register of
requisitions in Form no. 24.
C.E. No. 134/VIII a-41 dated 31st August, 1974

While dispatching records of criminal cases to the Court the following
instructions should invariably be followed-
(1)
The files of each case should be stitched together alongwith police papers.
(2)
The envelope of every file and police papers should bear the number and

year of the case allotted by the Court so that it may be placed on the

relevant record without any difficulty and waste of time.
(3)
Every record should be accompanied by a forwarding letter in Form no. 24

indicating correctly the enclosures sent therewith so that it may be

convenient to check up the number of files received in the office of the

Court.
