The inspection should be carried on primarily to ascertain the methods of, and the practice and procedure followed by the Magistrate, the manner in which he arranges his work and conducts trials and other proceedings before him and the way in which he manages his office, deals with administrative work and supervises the work of his subordinates. Efforts should be made to ensure that undesirable and unauthorised practices are discontinued, that mistakes and errors are not repeated and that the methods of work are improved. When an error or a fault is detected, the way it avould it should be explained and at the same time, it should be pointed out how it should have been done and why. Minor matters should be disposed of in a personal discussion with the Magistrate, but all important points should find a place in the inspection report referred to in paragraph 423.
