INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING MAINTENANCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE FILES

AND THE MANNER OF DEALING WITH ADMINSITRATIVE MATTERS

1. The administrative and office files should in future be stitched after perforation of the file papers at two suitable points on the left side. The two holes in papers should be at appropriate places for stitching with fairly long tags.

2. The stitching of the new files should be so affected that the office noting and the file papers are not disturbed in any manner by the stitching holes. In order to achieve this end, two holes at the proper places should be made in all note sheets before they are brought in use.

8529 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 03 मार्च, 2022/12 फाल्गुन, 1943

Sufficient margin should be left on both sides of the sheets so that the noting can be read without opening the tags of the files. New files should be opened in place of the old ones which have already grown bulky and the above instructions should be followed for maintaining the new files. Those files which are not bulky at the moment should be immediately converted into the new system by making two holes in all the papers. However, extreme care should be taken that this process does not mutilate the existing notings. Where it is not possible to convert these files in the aforesaid manner, new files be opened.

3. It will be the personal responsibility of the Section Officer of the Branch concerned to ensure that the above instructions are effectively complied with by all Dealing Assistants.

[Office Order No.HHC/Admn.6(46)/78, dated April 6,1981]

4. The administrative records of the Registry must be properly maintained in a manner that they are readily available for reference in future.

5. As and when any communication/information is circulated to the Officers/officials of the Registry or to the Subordinate Courts, the records showing such circulation must be maintained properly so that in future, a plea is not raised that such matter was not brought to the notice of a particular person or class.

6. As and when any information/communication is to be circulated to the Officers and officials of the Registry, one copy thereof must be affixed on the Court Notice Board, unless otherwise directed.

[Office Order No.HHC/Estt.3(209)/84, dated January 9,1997]

7. The officers of the rank of Superintendent(s) (now Section Officers) and above will ensure that all Rules, instructions guidelines and precedents relevant for consideration of the subject matters are clearly set out in the office notings before submission to the higher authorities and notes should be duly numbered.

[Office Order No.HHC/Admn.1(18)/78-V, dated December 13, 1996]

8.
