Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
Subordinate Courts are not concerned with applications to take evidence for foreign tribunals as such applications have, under Order XXVI as amended by Act X of 1932, to be made to the High Court and subordinate courts have only to carry out any directions which the High Court may give. Note.—Foreign consular officers and other persons sometimes apply direct to Civil Court to take such evidence in disregard of the procedure. They should be referred to the terms of Order XXVI. Care should be taken in any such correspondence with officers of Foreign States to address them properly and politely.
