Wherever more than one such place is appointed, the District Judge shall, subject to the control of the High Court, fix the days on which the [Civil Judge] shall hold his Court at each of such places, and the [Civil Judge] shall cause such days to be duly notified throughout the local limits of his jurisdiction.

A [Civil Judge] thus appointed or deputed to assist in the Court of another [Civil Judge] shall dispose of such civil business within the limits of his pecuniary jurisdiction as may, subject to the control of the District Judge, be referred to him by Judge of such Court. [He may also dispose of the Civil business of his Court at the place of his deputation subject to the general or special orders of the High Court in this behalf.]
