In exercise of powers conferred by sub-clause (i) of clause (c) of sub-Section (2) of Section 3 of the Destruction of Records Act, 1917 (No. V of 1917), and in suppression of all rules previously made in this respect, the State Government hereby makes the following rules for the destruction of documents in the custody to registering Officers in Madhya Pradesh, namely-

1. Short title. - These rules may be called The Destruction of Records (Relating to Registering Office in Madhya Pradesh) Rules, 1983.

2. Procedure for destruction of Records. - (1) The records shown in column (2) of the appendix appended to these rules shall be destroyed under the orders of the Registrar annually in the month of October after the expiry of period shown in column (3) of the appendix against each entry.

(2) Each sub-registrar shall, in the said month prepare a list of records due for destruction in the form appended to these rules and submit to the Registrar.

(3) The Registrar shall have full description to order the destruction or retention of all or any record.

(4) The sub-registrar shall,

(i) Carry out the orders of the Registrar;

(ii) Certify at the foot of the list that he has done so; and

(iii) file the list in part II of the file book.

Note. - (1) For the Registrar's office a similar list shall be prepared and put up by the official of the Registrar's Office.

(2) File book, Part III, shall not be destroyed unless the circulars, etc., contained therein have been annulled or superseded.

(3) Before any office copies of pay bills or annual establishment returns are destroyed, the period of temporary and officiating service, as recorded in the service books or service rolls of the Government servant, concerned, should be verified by the head of the office from the office copies of pay bills and establishment returns and the fact of such verification recorded under proper attestation in the service books or service rolls. The heads of offices should also invariably record necessary particulars in service books or service rolls with a view to enabling the Audit Office to decide later by reference merely to such particulars whether the temporary or officiating service will qualify for pension or not, for example, in the case of officiating service, the nature of the vacancy in which the Government servant officiated and in the case of temporary service whether the temporary post was subsequently made permanent, should, be stated.-
