Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
The attention of the Courts is directed to the provisions of rule 6, Order V and rule 9 of Order XVI, Civil Procedure Code, when fixing dates for the appearance of parties. The responsibility for fixing a date is that of the Judge alone and should not be delegated to any of the Court officials. He should make an estimate of the time each case will take so as to ensure, so far as practicable, that the work fixed for a particular day will be done during the course of that day.
