## Report on Delhi Gazette Notification Regarding Appointment of Oath Commissioners
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification published in the Delhi Gazette on May 22, 2025, concerning the appointment of advocates as Oath Commissioners in Saket Courts and Karkardooma Courts, Delhi. The core purpose is to officially appoint individuals authorized to administer oaths and affirmations for affidavits. The key finding is the formal appointment of specific advocates, detailing the courts they serve, the duration of their appointment, and the conditions under which they operate. This is essentially a record of appointments, not a sweeping policy change, but a crucial function for court administration.
**2. Introduction:**
This report aims to provide a detailed overview and analysis of the notification published in the Delhi Gazette, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, on May 22, 2025, regarding the appointment of Oath Commissioners. The analysis is based solely on the information provided within the text of the notification.
**3. Policy Overview:**
This is not an amendment but rather a notification enacting a provision already in place. The core objective, as inferred from the text, is to formally appoint specific advocates as Oath Commissioners, ensuring the availability of authorized personnel to administer oaths and affirmations in court proceedings within Saket Courts and Karkardooma Courts. This is under the provisions of existing laws and court rules.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
The policy notification addresses the need to maintain a roster of qualified and authorized individuals to serve as Oath Commissioners. The appointment of these commissioners is essential for the efficient and lawful administration of oaths and affirmations related to affidavits submitted in court. Without formally appointed officials, the validity of legal documents could be challenged, delaying court proceedings.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This document details two separate sets of appointments.
* **Saket Courts:** Ms. Monika Sharma and Ms. Manju Bala are appointed as Oath Commissioners.
* **Karkardooma Courts:** Ms. Geeta, Sh. Mohd. Rizwan, Ms. Nishu Mukhi, Ms. Kavita, Sh. Dinesh Kumar, Ms. Sinthia Sood, Ms. Bhagwanti Lalwani, Sh. Dharmendra, Ms. Vinita, Ms. Anju Sharma, Ms. Devki Kumari, Sh. Shyam Kumar, and Ms. Rupa are appointed as Oath Commissioners.
These appointments are for a period of two years, effective from May 15, 2025, to May 14, 2027, or until further orders from the High Court of Delhi, whichever is earlier. The appointees are authorized to administer oaths and affirmations to deponents of affidavits in accordance with specified terms and conditions outlined in existing rules and circulars (paragraph 5 of Chapter 12B, Punjab High Court Rules and Orders Volume IV, Section 7 of the Delhi High Court Act, 1966, and circular No. 332Genl.IIDHC dated 14092001).
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders include:
* The appointed advocates (Oath Commissioners).
* The Saket and Karkardooma Courts.
* Litigants and deponents requiring oaths and affirmations for affidavits within these courts.
* The High Court of Delhi, which oversees the appointment and regulation of Oath Commissioners.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** The High Court of Delhi is the primary responsible body, as evidenced by the "By Order of the Court" statement and the Registrar General's signature.
* **Timelines:** The appointments are for a fixed term of two years (May 15, 2025, to May 14, 2027).
* **Procedures:** Oath Commissioners must administer oaths and affirmations in accordance with the terms specified in paragraph 5 of Chapter 12B, Punjab High Court Rules and Orders Volume IV, Section 7 of the Delhi High Court Act, 1966, and subject to the conditions laid down in the Court's circular No. 332Genl.IIDHC dated 14092001.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcome of these appointments is to ensure the continued availability of authorized personnel to administer oaths and affirmations, which is crucial for the smooth functioning of the judicial process within the Saket and Karkardooma Courts. This contributes to the validity and legal standing of affidavits presented in court. It ensures citizens can execute affidavits legally and efficiently.
**9. Conclusion:**
The Delhi Gazette notification formally appoints advocates as Oath Commissioners in Saket Courts and Karkardooma Courts for a two-year term. These appointments are essential for the proper administration of oaths and affirmations, directly impacting litigants, the courts, and the overall legal process. The notification underscores the High Court of Delhi's commitment to maintaining an efficient and legally sound judicial system.
