Presentation of application
Full Text
Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the application shall be presented to the Court by the applicant in person, unless he is exempted from appearing in Court, in which case the application may be presented by an authorised agent who can answer all material questions relating to the application, and who may be examined in the same manner as the party represented by him might have been examined had such party attended in person: Provided that, where there are more plaintiffs than one, it shall be sufficient if the application is presented by one of the plaintiffs.
Plain English Summary
Mandates personal presentation of the indigent application by the applicant in court (or by an authorized agent if legally exempted, or by one of co-plaintiffs), enabling immediate preliminary oral examination by the presiding judge.
Key Legal Elements
- Mandatory Personal Presentation: Presumption of personal physical presence before the bench.
- Exemption Exception: Exemption under Section 132 (purdanasheen ladies) or Section 133 dignitaries.
- Multiple Plaintiffs Proviso: One co-plaintiff presenting on behalf of all satisfies the rule.
- Examination Vulnerability: The presenting person is liable to immediate oral examination under Rule 4.
Practical Note
Personal Presence on Filing Day: Do not file an Order XXXIII application through a junior advocate or clerk at the court filing counter. The applicant must personally appear before the Judge at the time of presentation. If the applicant is bedridden or hospitalized, file an exemption application under Section 132/133 CPC supported by a medical certificate along with an authorized agent's power of attorney.

इन नियमों में किसी बात के होते हुए भी, आवेदन आवेदक द्वारा स्वयं न्यायालय में व्यक्तिगत रूप से (In person) प्रस्तुत किया जाएगा, जब तक कि उसे न्यायालय में उपसंजात होने से छूट प्राप्त न हो, जिस दशा में आवेदन ऐसे प्राधिकृत अभिकर्ता द्वारा प्रस्तुत किया जा सकेगा जो आवेदन से संबंधित सभी तात्विक प्रश्नों का उत्तर दे सके, और जिसकी परीक्षा उसी रीति से की जा सकेगी जैसे वह पक्षकार स्वयं उपस्थित होने पर परीक्षित किया जा सकता: परंतु जहां एक से अधिक वादी हैं, वहां यह पर्याप्त होगा यदि आवेदन वादियों में से किसी एक द्वारा प्रस्तुत किया जाए।
