BF Rules 53Chapter 3 · Revenue and Receipts

Section 53 · Section 53

The duty of realizing fines and of checking the receipts and refunds rests with the departmental officer. Each court, civil or criminal, is required to submit to the District Judge or to the District Magistrate, as the case may be, on the last working day of each calendar month, a statement in a form showing the demand, collection and balance of fines levied and written off by it as well as of the refunds therefrom, the statement being made up for the account month of the treasury or sub-treasury with which the court deals.The District Judge and District Magistrate should each consolidate these returns into a monthly fines statement for the courts under him and for his own and forward it to the Treasury Officer, as soon as possible after the beginning of the month, for verification of the amounts shown as remitted into the treasury with the credit appearing in the treasury account. The Treasury Officer should certify to the correctness or otherwise of these amounts. Where there is any discrepancy between a consolidated statement and the treasury account, the Treasury Officer may if necessary, before giving his certificate, request the District Judge or the District Magistrate as the case may be, to explain the discrepancy.Note 1. - The statement should exhibit the amounts under each head of accounts, e.g. Magisterial fines, fines under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, etc. separately.Compensation fines due to an injured party which are creditable to deposits and fines which under the orders of competent authority are creditable to a municipal or local fund, should be excluded from this statement.Note 2. - When fines are received in another district, an intimation should be given by the recovering officer to the officer concerned, who should note the fact in his monthly fine statement.Convict Charges Recoverable from other States
