uncontested petty cases may, however, be heard at the spot but by way of precaution the

Magistrate, they would not raise unnecessary objections.

Munsifs are meant for, civil work and are not expected to do criminal work if this

over the amount of criminal work which the Munsifs invested with magisterial powers in
his judgeship are asked to do. Cases should be sent to the Munsifs concerned for trial by
the District Magistrate through the District Judge concerned. The District Judge should
satisfy himself when criminal work is sent to the Munsif or a Munsif is to be invested
with magisterial powers that this will not result in a dislocation of civil work.
