The notice should clearly state that on failure to deposit the amount mentioned therein within one month the Roznama and the evidence, if any, will not be typed but that the papers will be forwarded to the High Court and the appeal will be liable to be dismissed for want of prosecution. The District Judge may extend the above period by fifteen days. In case of default of payment of the deposit as directed the matter should be reported to the High Court for orders.
