2. The Inward Section Clerk enters the name/s of the petitioner/s, name of the Advocate, Crime Number and name of the Police Station in the 12-Register (Inward Register) and sends it to the Translator, Criminal Section of the District Court.

3. Then the Translator of the District Court or his Assistant checks the application, writes a brief note on the bail application and the Translator places the same before the District Judge, District for orders.

4. After obtaining orders from the District Judge, the Translator of the District Court allots Cr.M.P.Nos. to the bail applications and enters them in the Cr.M.P. Register (6 A Register). He also enters the orders passed by the District Judge on each application in the Diary Register (11-Register). If they are made over to any of the Additional District Courts, the said order would

also be mentioned in both the Registers.

5. If the bail application is ordered to be made over to any of the Additional District Courts, the Translator sends it to the concerned Court along with the Cr.M.P. Register.
