CHANDGI RAM(DEAD)THROUGH LRS. . vs STATE OF HARYANA — C.A. No. 789/2001

Case Summary: C.A. No. 789/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's rejection of the appeal due to deficient court fee. The Court directed that upon payment of the outstanding court fee of Rs. 10,528/- on or before February 10, 2001, the High Court shall entertain and dispose of the appeal according to law. Key Issue: The appellants had paid insufficient court fee (Rs. 258/- instead of Rs. 10,786/-) with their memorandum of appeal. The High Court rejected their application for time extension and ordered return of the deposited deficit amount. The Supreme Court found this procedure questionable and remitted the matter to the High Court for proper consideration under Section 149 of the Civil Procedure Code. Next Steps: Payment of Rs. 10,528/- due by February 10, 2001; thereafter the High Court to proceed with the substantive appeal.
