Section-7

Section-7 provides for deposit of at least 50% of the decreetal dues in the Trial Court within 30 days of the decree as condition precedent for preferring an appeal. Instead of depositing the said money in the Court, the appellant deposited it in the current account maintained with the decree-holder Bank, Since the appellant has deposited 50% of the decreetal dues within the stipulated time, albeit in a non-traditional forum, the deposit should treated, as a valid one.

The Court is to look into the substance of the law, rather than its form.
