Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
When owing to the proceedings of a Magistrate having been sent to the High Court, it is impossible for an appellant to obtain a copy of the judgment, the Court to which an appeal has been made should accept the petition of appeal, though not accompanied by a copy of the judgment as required by law. The Court should then immediately write to the High Court, stating that an appeal has been made and ask for the return of the record and proceedings.
