Extract from the notes of Inspection of the Courtf of the
Indian Assistant:
B. CRIMINAL .
Para 4
A high proportion of these summary cases consists of offences
under Motor Vehicles rules, in respect of registrations, licenses
etc. In none of the cases which I examined had the prosecution
noted whether the accused was a first offender or not, a matter of
importance in all cases, but particularly so in Motor Vehicles
cases where a different scale of punishment operates for those who
already have a previous conviction. In view of the considerable
number of these cases, I would suggest that the introduction of
the^system common in India, whereby a routine scale of fines for fir*
first offences is laid down and the accused allowed to compound
for this amount without appearance in Court, might be considered
for adoption.
As regards the suggestion made in the last para the Adviser
may be asked for his comments.
