Communication of Adverse Entries to the Judicial Officers
I am directed to say that while considering the representations of the Judicial
Officers against the adverse remarks recorded by the District Judges, it has been come to
the notice of the Court that the adverse remarks given to the concerned Judicial Officers
are not communicated to them inspite of instructions issued by the Court from time to
time in various Circular Letters.
The Court has, therefore, taken a serious view in the matter and has decided that the
District Judges will communicate their adverse entries to the concerned Officers
immediately after awarding the adverse entry and that while communicating such entries
to the High Court, they will indicate the date of communication thereof and also certify
that the entry has been communicated to the concerned Officer.
The said direction of the Court may kindly be followed strictly.
