Expenses of the Advocate on record

1. (1) The office of the Advocate General shall on receipt of an order either to file a case or to defend a case before the Supreme Court, take immediate steps to send to the Advocate on Record such amount towards court fee, process charges, typing and other charges including out of pocket expenses as may be prescribed.
2. (2) Any other expenditure made in excess of the amounts specified as above shall be reimbursed to the Advocate on record upon his furnishing detailed accounts in respect of each item of such expenditure, supported by vouchers. Expenses required for the preparation of the paper book and for cyclostyling the records shall be met by the office of the Advocate General on receipt of claim from the Advocates on Record.
3. (3) The money for expenditure shall be sent along with the pleadings or immediately thereafter or immediately after receipt of the Government Order authorising the filling or defending of a case. The Advocate General shall also ensure that the papers and the money reach the Advocate on Record at least five days before the last date, so that the papers could be filed before the Court within the period of limitation. The fact of having sent the amount towards Court fees and other expenses to Advocates on Record shall invariably be communicated to the Departmental Secretary and in criminal matters to the concerned Superintendents of Police and also the Law Department. The Departmental Secretaries and the concerned Superintendents of Police shall make necessary entries in their office records, and take such further steps in the matter as may be necessary for the purpose of maintenance of accounts and for effecting recoveries, wherever necessary.
