Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
All Judges are permitted to levy charges for beating of the drum for attachment of immoveable properties at such rates as they consider reasonable having regard to the situation of the properties and the conditions prevailing in the village in which the beating of the drum is done. Ordinarily the rate should be between 25 nP. and 50 nP. for each beating of the drum and the charges should be levied at this rate for the beating of the drum irrespective of the number of properties for which the beating of the drum is done. In cases, however, where the properties are situated at a distance from one another though in the same village and the beating of the drum has, therefore, to be done at more than one place, the charges may be levied at the above rate separately for the beating of the drum at each of the places.
