Court Terminology 101
Q1: What is meaning of Dasti? A1: Dasti means (taken/received)"by hand" Q2: What is Dasti order? A2: Any order passed by the court is signed by the judge. If you request judge to provide dasti copy of the order and it is recorded in the order sheet, additional copy of order is printed for you and given by the reader by writing DASTI at top. One copy goes into your case file. You can collect this order from the reader as soon as it signed by the judge. Otherwise, the other option is to apply for certified copy of the order and wait a lifetime. (Note the use of word reader. Don't bother the steno. Although steno can check if Dasti is written in your order sheet or not as Steno is the one who will type it.) Q3: What is Jimni order? A3: Jimni order is the record of proceedings on each day. I think it is just used to distinguish an order passed against an application from the regular order where just actual events are recorded like "Appeared and sought adjournment"....
