Gujarat High Court Civil Manual (subordinate court practice), 1960
Although the legitimate work of the bailiffs is the service of processes, the District Judge may assign to them any other reasonable work when they are not engaged on the work of service of processes. The work of bringing tapal, taking money to and bringing the same from Treasury, calling out parties in Court, doing night watch-duty in the Court-building, etc., may reasonably be considered to fall within the scope of duties assigned to bailiffs.
