Verification of bail orders at the cost of State.
C.L. No. 13/2005 Dated 1st April, 2005
I am directed to say that upon a careful consideration of matter pertaining to a
complaint that for getting the genuineness of bail orders seemingly passed by the
Hon'ble High Court a sum of Rs. 100/- is required to be deposited in the District
Judgeship of Azmagarh, the Hon'ble Court has been pleased to provide that the
genuineness of bail orders seemingly passed by the Hon'ble Court shall be verified at the
cost of the State.
I am, therefore, to request that the measure so provided, be brought to the notice
of every Judicial Officer under your administrative control, for compliance faithfully and
punctually.

RELEASE ORDER
C.L. No. 124/VIIb-47, dated 24th October, 1979
In order to rule out the possibility of a prisoner securing his release from jail on the
basis of a forged release order, the Court has issued following instruction, which should
be strictly and faithfully followed by the presiding officers and the officials concerned in
issuing and scrutinizing release orders.
(a)
The release orders must contain the full name of the Presiding officer of
the issuing court below his signature and bear the seal of the court
invariably in a distinct manner;
(b)
When an order for the release of a prisoner, who has already been
transferred to another jail outside the district, is received and returned by
the Superintendent of Jail to the issuing court, with a report indicating the
date of transfer and the name of the jail to which the prisoner was
transferred, the court shall then send the release order by post to the jail
concerned and at the same time follow the procedure laid down in para (c)
below;
(c)
When a release order is issued by post to a jail outside the district, the
Presiding Officer of the court shall immediately give an intimation about
its dispatch by radiogram to the Superintendent of that jail.
(d)
In addition to supplying a list containing the names and specimen
signatures of all Presiding Officers of courts to the Superintendent of local
district jail (and also to any other jail or similar institution that functions in
the district), changes in the post of Presiding Officer should also be
intimated from time to time as they occur.
C.L. No. 73/VIII-47 , dated 18th November, 1982
To avoid release of convicts on forged bail orders more than ordinary care should
henceforth be taken before convicts are released on the basis of orders which purport to
have been passed by the Supreme Court of India. The concerned authority should also
satisfy himself carefully whether the bail orders in fact have been passed by the Supreme
Court and the convicts should be released upon such satisfaction. Convicts ought not to
242
be released mechanically without a close scrutiny of the bail orders and satisfaction in
regard to the authenticity thereof.
C.L. No. 53/VIIIa-18-Admn. ̳G', dated 7th August, 1986

All the presiding officers should ensure that henceforth release orders are
prepared by the court clerks only and not by the court moharrirs (police constables); and
all the papers concerning any case, viz., F.I.R., remand papers, final reports, bail bonds,
etc., are kept by the court clerk in his custody and not by the court moharrirs (police
constables).
C.L. No. 42/VIIb-47 , dated 28th April, 1978

All the presiding officers should put their signatures on the release or remand
orders quite legibly as required under rules 9 and 66 of the G.R.(Criminal). A rubber seal
indicating the name and designation of the presiding officer and also the name of the
district should invariably be affixed to such orders below their signatures and they should
ensure that the remand or release orders are dispatched punctually so as to reach the jail
authority latest by 4.00 P.M. in winter and 5.00 P.M. in summer.
C. L. No. 12 Dated March 31, 2007
In continuation of C.L. No. 4 dated February 3, 2004, now Sri S. Farid Raza, Joint
Registrar, Sri S.K. Srivastava, Sri Rajiv Kumar Tandon and Sri Zia Ullah Khan, Deputy
Registrars whose signature at gibe below are authorized to countersign on the bail orders.

BAIL ORDERS OF HIGH COURT
C.L. No. 7 , dated 15th January, 1978

Accused or appellant should not be released on bail by a Magistrate only on
production of a copy of the order of bail passed by High Court. It is necessary for a
Magistrate to know the nature of an offence with which the person to be released has
been charged. For this purpose he should consult his own records, or insist on the
applicant's supplying him with a copy of the grounds of appeal or of the application for
bail whenever a copy of the bail order alone is produced.
Guidelines for transfer of bail applications in important matters and revision in
matters at admission stage by the District Judges
C. L. No.60/2007Admin(G) : Dated :13.12.2007.

The practice developing of transferring important bail applications in serious
matters and revisions at the admission stage in routine by the District and sessions Judges
has been deprecated by the Hon'ble Court and it has been desired that all the sensitive
matters should invariably be tried by the District Judge himself or by the Senior
Additional. District Judge for exercising effective control on the administrative of justice.
