Explanatory Note

(This is not part of the notification, but is intended

to indicate its general purport.)

An instance had come to the notice of the High

Court wherein several charge sheets presented by the

Police before a Court of Judicial Magistrate

were not taken on file and registered in time. It was felt

that such instances can be avoided if the concerned

Presiding Officers inspected their office periodically. The

above rules have been framed with the objective

of creating a mechanism whereby the Judicial Officers are

required to compulsorily inspect their respective Offices

periodically.
