1. The petition of appeal was presented on 11th June in the recess, and the stamp was received and affixed on the 25th. The Court opened on
27th June.
2. Following the principle laid down in Skinner v. Orde L.R. 6 IndAp 126 we must hold that the petition must be regarded as an appeal from the
date on which it was presented and not from the date on which the stamp was received. The decree of the District Court must be reversed and the
appeal remanded. The appellant is entitled to the costs of this appeal, and the cost in the lower Appellate Court will abide and follow the result.
