(xviii) Disposal of applications for Succession certificates, grant of probate, grant of
Letters of Administration.
C.L. No. 17/VIIIb-37/Admn. G-2, dated 29th March, 1993

It has been brought to the notice of the Court that even uncontested applications
for succession certificate, grant of probate, grant of Letters of Administration remain
pending for months together and in some cases for years together. Sometimes they are
adjourned on account of the fact that there is boycott of of courts by the lawyers. This is
not a happy state of affair.

I am, therefore, directed to say that all the Presiding Officers under you be
informed that on such applications, if the petitioner is present, his statement should be
recorded by the Presiding Officer and the petition be disposed. He should also ensure that
uncontested cases do not remain pending for a long period.
(xix) Disposal of Election Petitions
C.L. No.21/ dated 26th April, 1996
I am directed to draw your attention to the fact that large numbers of Election
Petitions filed in the District Courts are pending and the Courts are not deciding these
petitions expeditiously. Delay in disposal of these Election Petitions is a matter of grave
concern.
The Court has desired that these petitions may be disposed of as early as possible.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to direct the Court concerned in the
Judgeship to decide the Election Petitions expeditiously and report the compliance to the
Hon'ble Court.

Court and the Court has arrived at the conclusion that matrimonial cases are required to
be disposed of with more speed.
I am, therefore, to request you kindly to issue necessary instructions to all the
courts subordinate to you dealing with matrimonial cases, to make efforts to dispose of
these cases expeditiously.
