Subject: Court records maintained in files types A B C ... (maharashtra.judiciary))
Hi All,
In civil courts and family courts , for each suit, the records of Exh. is maintained vide its categorization such as 'File type A', 'File B', 'file C' and 'File D' etc (as I am told by staff in Court)....
Please give me the basic information on the same. (which chapter in civil manual?)
Context: The suit is yet pending and some exhibits (and its contents) are imported into "exam in chief affidavit" (to avoid repetition, else the "exam in chief affidavit" would have become bigger due to hundreds of pages) ....
But today bench clerk, in family Court, sent only the "exam in chief affidavit" of my suit for 'File C recording' .... but other exhibits (contents of which also ought to be part of exam in chief) are not being categorized as 'File C'.
To elaborate it further in detail, .... the "exam in chief Affidavit" states as follows that ....
"Each and every averment/statement made in Exhibit ____ etc also be treated as part of this Exam in chief Affidavit" (and that Exhibit ____ is of 36 pages)
Hence my fear is that those Exh may get destroyed after some time unless Exhibit __ is also categorized as 'File C' (I was told that records categorized as 'File D' are destroyed after 6 months of the final decision/disposal of suit/judgment /decreee etc)
Hence Please enlighten me about the same
I tried to understand Civil manual but did not understand it frankly (which chapter to read???)
Thanks in advance
Regards

There is some misunderstanding. The file or the contents would not be sent for recording if the suit is pending.

Discuss with your lawyer in detail regarding the procedure. Get a copy of order ordering to file other documents in fie D and in case of need challenge the orders.

Maintaining different file for judicial record is as per High Court Rule, attend a coaching class from a senior clerk in record room of the concerned court, you can seek help/advise of your lawyer also.
