PART B THE PRINTING OF PAPER-BOOKS IN SECOND APPEALS AND REVISIONS.
1. (1) Paper-books shall be printed in all second appeals and revisions admitted to a hearing before or referred to a Division Bench or a Full Bench, unless there is an order to the contrary, passed by the Motion Bench or the referring Judge or Judges.
(2) No paper-book shall be printed in second appeals admitted to hearing before a Single Judge, except when so ordered by the Motion Bench.
2. The printed paper-book shall consist of :-
(a) copies or translations of the judgments of the lower courts and the decree of the lower appellate court,
(b) the grounds of appeal or revision and a memorandum of the names of the parties or, if the appeal or revision was filed in vernacular, a translation thereof, and
(c) a copy of the order of the Judge admitting the case to a Bench.
3. (1) In every appeal and cross appeal in which a paper-book has under these rules to be printed, the appellant shall, within fifteen days of the date of the order admitting the appeal, deposit with the Treasurer of the High Court, a sum of rupees five hundred to cover the cost of the paper-book at the rates specified in the Schedule.*
(2) An additional sum of rupees fifty for translating the plaint and pleas shall be similarly deposited in every case in which the plaint and the pleas are to be included in the paper-book. The plaint and pleas shall not, however, be printed except at the express request of the parties or their counsel, or, when so directed by the Judge or Judges admitting the appeal.*
4. If the appellant or respondent fails to deposit the sum or sums required under rule 3 within the prescribed period, the procedure laid down in clause (b) of rule 9 of Part A of this Chapter shall be followed.
5. Such number of copies of the paper-book shall be printed as the Court may, by general rule in that behalf or special order in a particular case, direct.
Note: The number of copies ordinarily to be printed has been fixed at thirteen. Enough copies should be printed to enable juniors watching the case to be provided with a paper-book.

7. (1) At the foot of every printed paper-book shall be noted the amount of printing and other charges, and the party from whom levied, and such amounts shall be included in the costs of the appeal, unless the Court in any case directs otherwise.
(2) Should the amount so charged be less than the sum or sums deposited under rule 3, the Registrar or the Deputy Registrar shall refund the unexpended balance to the party by whom deposit was made. Should it be more, he will take action under rule 4.
8. For the purposes of rules 3 to 7 the expression “appeal” shall include a petition for revision admitted to a hearing before a Division Bench or referred to a Full Bench and the expression “Appellant” shall include a petitioner in the revision petition.*
