General Instructions and Questionnaires for Inspection of Courts of Magistrates 1984

Abstract

During recent visit to Upazilas, the undersigned observed that inspection of courts of magistrates was not conducted thoroughly- In most cases inspections were perfunctory in nature. In many cases, they were so hasty and hurried that there was hardly any sense in undertaking such inspections. 2. The matter was discussed in the Conference of the Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners on 15-8-1984. It was agreed that circulation of a set of questionnaires will facilitate thorough inspection of courts of magistrates. Accordingly, questionnaires, contained in the Inspection Manual have been reviewed and amended, wherever necessary, for making them suitable for the purpose. 3. These questionnaires and the general instructions for inspection should be meticulously followed by District Magistrates, Additional District Magistrates and other inspecting officers. It is hoped that inspections conducted in accordance with the instructions and questionnaires will gradually improve the present state of administration of criminal justice in the country.
