The Head copyist, before putting his seal and signature, should ensure that
certified copy ready for delivery is legible, in good handwriting, fairly
typed and is readable.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to direct the Copying Department of your
judgeship accordingly for strict compliance.
(iv)
Preparation and issue of copies by the Subordinate Court
C.L.No. 23/Ve-65/Admn.'G' dated May 3, 1996.
I am directed to invite your attention to the marginally noted Circular letter
issued by the court from time to time on the above subject and to say that it has been
observed that hand written certified copies issued in many cases are not legible. This is
an unsatisfactory state and reflects upon the inefficiency of the copying department in the
district courts.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to direct the copying department of your
judgeship for strict compliance of the Circular Letters and orders, which have been
issued from time to time.

(v)
P.As./Stenographers to provide extra typed copy of judgment/ orders/
interim orders for use in Copying Department.
C.L.No.41/98 dated 20th August, 1998
I am directed to say on the above subject that with a view to avoid unnecessary
delay in furnishing certified copies of the judgments/ orders/ interim orders, the Court
has been pleased to direct that an extra copy be taken out the P.As. / Stenographers, of
the judgments/ orders/ interim orders and be presented in the Copying Department for
supplying certified copies, whenever necessary.

I am, therefore, to request you kindly to ensure strict compliance of the aforesaid
direction.

PREPARATION OF COPIES
(i)
Of judgments and decrees
C.L.No. 59 dated 15th October, 1960
The Court has noticed that in a large number of cases copies of judgments and
decrees issued by the subordinate courts do not give the correct number and year of the
suit or appeal or the date of decision. Sometimes discrepancies are found between the
copies of judgments and decrees in the same case. All such copies have to be sent down

to the courts below for necessary corrections. This entails duplication of work and also
causes delay in the proceedings in the Court.

In order to avoid such mistakes in future all the District Judges are requested to
issue necessary instructions to the officials under them to avoid such mistakes.
C.L.No.4174/44 dated 17th December, 1912
The following instructions govern the preparation of copies of judgments and
decrees under order XLI, rule 37 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, namely-
(1)
The work of preparing copies of judgments and decrees under order XLI,
rule 37 of the Civil Procedure Code, shall be performed by one or more
clerks (or copyists) appointed for this purpose.
(2)
The copies shall be prepared in the order in which the decrees are passed.
(3)
It shall be the duty of the Munsarim to see that the register in form No. 32
is properly kept up. He shall examine the register at least once a week to
see how the work is progressing.
 (ii)
Revenue Court findings to form part of Civil Court judgment
C.L.No.98 dated 2nd November, 1957
The findings of the revenue court are often the basis of the decision of the civil
court. The Court has, therefore, decided that the findings of the revenue court should be
treated as a part of the judgment of the civil court and a copy thereof issued along with a
copy of the judgment on payment of the requisite charges.
C.L.No. 105/VIII-b-84 dated 22nd November, 1961
The findings of the revenue court or the earlier findings of the civil court, if any,
should be made a part of the judgment of the civil court by an express order in the
operative part of the judgment.
(iii)
Of documents forming part of election tribunal records
C.L.No. 65/IV-g-66 dated 23rd November, 1954
Copies of documents forming part of records of Election Tribunals constituted to
hear petitions arising out of elections to local bodies may during the pendency of a case
be issued through the Copying Department of the judgeship concerned.

ISSUING FREE COPIES
(i)
of judgments
C.L.No.75/VIII-a-51 dated 3rd December, 1960
The Court has noticed that copies of judgments were supplied to the appellants
even up to 2 years after the orders were passed, in several cases in which appeals were
filed by convicts from jail. This indicates that some courts do not give effect to section
363(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and rules 152 and 155 of the General Rules
(Criminal), 1957, which provide that, on the application of the accused, a copy of the
judgment should be given to him without delay, that if a copy is to be delivered to a
prisoner it should be dispatched to the jail at once and that if the order for issue of the
copy cannot be completed or complied with by reason of the record being in the appellate
