IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1360 of 2008 DEEN DAYAL SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 18.12.2008 Heard petitioner in person. In the opinion of this Court, the impugned order directing the payment of court fee in firm of duty money in a probate case filed by the petitioner does not suffer from any jurisdictional error. The petitioner cannot claim exemption from payment of such duty money as a matter of right. The petitioner does not fulfill the requirement as laid down by the statute for exemption of such court fee and therefore, there would be no merit in that part of the contention of the petitioner that the court below did not choose to exempt the petitioner from filing the duty money by way of court fee in the probate case. The petitioner must deposit the required court fee within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order failing which the case filed by the petitioner in the court below shall stand dismissed. With the aforesaid observations/directions this application is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
