To whom commission may be issued
Full Text
A commission under rule 19 may be issued to any Court within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the witness resides, or the witness resides within the local limits of the ordinary original civil jurisdiction of the High Court, to any person whom the Court thinks fit to execute the commission.
Plain English Summary
Specifies executing authorities for foreign commissions, authorizing the High Court to transmit the commission to the local subordinate court where the witness resides or appoint a commissioner directly within its original civil jurisdiction.
Key Legal Elements
- Subordinate District Court: Where witness resides outside the High Court's original city limits.
- Fit Person / Advocate Commissioner: Where witness resides within ordinary original jurisdiction (e.g. Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi).
Practical Note
Designating Executing Commissioner: In chartered High Courts possessing Original Jurisdiction, pray for direct appointment of a senior member of the local bar rather than delegating down to a district court to expedite cross-examination under international treaties.
