Clause 62

The Senior District Judge may frame and publish a list of persons proved to his satisfaction, by evidence of general repute or otherwise, to act as touts or unauthorised advisers to suitors or other persons, and may alter and amend the list.

The Senior District Judge may, by general or special order, exclude from the precincts of the subordinate courts any person whose name is included in the list, except when such person is a party to or a witness in any proceedings in a subordinate court when he shall be allowed to remain for such time as is necessary.

No person’s name shall be included in the list until he has been heard or had an opportunity of being heard against such inclusion.

An appeal shall lie to a Judge of the Supreme Court in chambers from an order made by the Senior District Judge to include a person’s name in the list.

The decision of the Judge of the Supreme Court shall be final.

A copy of the list shall be kept hung up in the office or offices of the subordinate courts and shall be published in the Gazette.

A person whose name appears in the list of touts under section 73 of the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, 1969 (Act 24 of 1969), shall be deemed to be included in the list under this section, and vice-versa.
