The Bombay High Court has directed all judicial officers in Maharashtra
and Goa to ensure that orders and judgments passed by them are uploaded on the CIS server on the
same day.
If an order or judgment is not uploaded on the same day, the officer must furnish details and reasons for the delay. Failure to upload orders or judgments within the stipulated time will amount to “misconduct touching to the integrity of judicial officer”. Judicial officers have also been asked to submit a monthly certificate in the prescribed format, confirming that uploading has been done within time.
The circular warns that if any discrepancy is found in the information supplied in the certificate, the judicial officer concerned will be placed under suspension with departmental enquiry being dispensed with. Further, all judicial officers have been categorically directed not to retain court files with them after disposal of the case.
The circular is addressed to all judicial officers through the Principal District and Sessions Judges, who are required to bring these directions to the notice of officers under
their control and ensure compliance.
