Madhavan Nair, J.<\/p>\n<p> 1. This   is   an   application   to   condone the delay in the filing of the Second Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2. The Superintendent of the Filing Section of this court has made a note that appeal would be within time only if the day on which the copy of the decree was notified to be taken by the party is excluded in computing the period of limitation for the appeal, but not otherwise. In view of this note, the learned counsel for the appellant has filed this application by way of abundant caution with prayer to condone the delay, if any, in the institution of this Second Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. I am of the view that the day notified for appearance of the party to take delivery of the copy of the decree has to be excluded in computing the period of limitation  for  his  filing the  appeal from that decree.   It must, be counted as part of the time requisite for his obtaining the copy of the decree within the    meaning of Section 12 (2) of the Limitation Act.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. The matter is also covered by several precedents. In Raman Chetty v. Kadirvelu, 8 Mad LJ 148, where a copy of judgment was applied for on the 27th October and that of the decree on the 28th October and the former copy was ready on the 31st October and the latter on the 2nd November, it was held by a Bench of the Madaras High Court that the time in obtaining both the copies had to&#8217; be reckoned from the 27th October to the 2nd November, and that was counted as 7 days inclusive of both the date of application and the date of delivery of the copy. Ramseshayya v. Venkatarathnam, AIR 1938 Mad 823, observed that it was only &#8220;consonant to reason that the day on which the copy is notified to be ready should be excluded.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> 5. The matter was dealt with elaborately by Vivian Bose, J., (as he then was) in Ramkrisnna v. Shrawan, AIR 1944 Nag 358, where the learned Judge held :\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;The   day   on   which   the   copies   are   applied for and the day On which they are delivered  are both to be excluded.     Why?  Because the law takes no account of the fractions   of  a   day.     In   some cases a copy is delivered the moment the office opens at 10 or 11 in the morning and the appeal is filed   the  same   day.     But  in other  cases,   instead of the copy being delivered the first thing it is  delivered  the  last and that  gives  the appellants no chance of filing the appeal   on the   same   day however   diligent  he  may  be.     The law   ignores all these possibilities.   It does not compel the appellant to file the appeal on the same day nor does it require the Courts to  determine  the  exact  moment the  copy  is  delivered.    Instead  it takes no account of the fractions of a day and gives the appellant the benefit of both days, the day on which he applies and the day on which he receives the copy.\n<\/p>\n<p> 6. It follows from these precedents, that the day which was notified for appearance of the party to receive the copy has to be excluded in computing<br \/>\nthe period of limitation for the appeal. Admittedly,<br \/>\nif that day is excluded the appeal is within time.\n<\/p>\n<p> 7. I hold that there is no delay in the institution of this appeal. The petition is therefore<br \/>\nrecorded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Govindan Vijayan vs Karambi Parvathy on 22 September, 1960 Equivalent citations: AIR 1961 Ker 207 Author: M M Nair Bench: M M Nair ORDER M.
