The circular further said that judicial officers must “never, at any cost,” leave their courts during working hours to receive or drop High Court judges visiting their districts, to the airport or train stations. It further instructed judicial officers not to stand or “wait on the roadside on the outskirts of a town or city” to receive visiting High Court judges.
“However, when the Hon’ble Judges of High Court make an official visit to any place by car, a responsible member of the staff shall receive the Hon’ble Judges at the outskirts of the town or city and guide the vehicle to ensure the safe arrival of the Hon’ble Judges at the place of accommodation without any inconvenience on the way,” it stated.
Another instruction stated,
“There is no compulsion on the part of the Judicial pfficers to be present during the visit of Hon’ble Judges of High Courts, unless their presence is warranted officially or on courtesy call.”
