Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
Before any process is issued in any Court, the proper officer of the Court should calculate the amount to be paid as Court-fees, and should give information of such amount to the person by whom the fees are payable. The Court-fees chargeable for service of the process of the Court, other than the summons to the defendant, shall be paid when the process is applied for or within such time as may be fixed by the Court. The Court may, for sufficient reason, extend the time for payment. The stamp received for Court fees should be affixed to the application made for the issue of the process. After the process fees have been received but not before, the necessary summons, notice, warrant, or other process, should be prepared. When the process is to be issued beyond the jurisdiction of the Court a note should be made on the process that the proper fee has been levied.
