Legal Commentary & Landmark Judgments: Section 202
Section 202 mandates that every Curator must file regular accounts of all receipts and disbursements before the District Judge.
Counsel representing claimants should regularly take certified copies of the Section 202 accounts filed by the curator; any unvouched cash withdrawal or unexplained expenditure should be challenged by filing a formal application for surcharge.
