In a rectification matter before the High Court, the Registrar chooses not to appear in person. Unless the High Court otherwise directs, what may he do under Section 35(2)?

He may submit a written statement signed by him, giving particulars of the proceedings, grounds of his decision or Registry practice. Unless the High Court directs otherwise, this can replace personal appearance, and the statement is treated as evidence in the proceeding.

  1. ASubmit a signed written statement of particulars, which is evidence in the proceedingCorrect
  2. BSend an unsigned note, which has no evidentiary value
  3. CDepute any private advocate whose statement binds the court
  4. DRemain absent without any statement, as the High Court can never accept one

Explanation

Section 35(2) lets the Registrar, in lieu of appearing, submit a statement in writing signed by him giving proper particulars of the proceedings, grounds of decision or practice of the Registry, and the statement is evidence in the proceeding. The unsigned-note option is wrong because signature is required.
