1.     It has been observed that of late, requests are being received from the Railway Administrations, etc., for the execution of the Vakalatnamas by the Secretary, Members or Chairman, Railway Board for filing in the various Courts where they may have been impleaded as parties.

It has also been observed by the Board that not only such references are, in certain cases, made to the Board quite late but are also not signed by the General Managers themselves.
