Summarize the following court judgment. Petition No. 1398 of 1962. Appeal against the order of the Deputy Registrar dated March 28	 1962 in Civil Appeals Nos. 41 to 49 of 1962. A.Ranganadham Chetty	 B.D. Dhawan	 S.K. Mehta and K.L. Mehta	 for the petitioner. C. K. Daphtary	 Attorney Generalfor India	 R. Ganapathy Iyer and R. N. Sachthey	 for the respondents. April 5. The Order of the court was delivered by SARKAR J. This is an appeal against the order of the Deputy Registrar directing the present case to be registered as nine appeals and requiring the appellant to pay nine sets of court fees. The Deputy Registrar had relied on two cases of this Court	 namely	 Lajwanti Sial 's case (Petition for Special Leave No. 673 of 1959) and Kishinchand Chellaram 's case (Civil Appeals No. 462 to 465 of 1960). We do not think that these precedents cover the present case. In Lajwanti 's Case there were a number of applications under section 66 (2) of the Income tax Act for reference of the same question. There were in tact a number of separate references but they were 887 dealt with by one judgment from which the appeal to this Court arose. That was really a case of five appeals for the common judgment must be taken to have been delivered in each of the different reference cases. Kishinchand Chellaram '8 case is also not helpful because there four applications by four different assessees had been made for reference of three identical questions arising in each assessment case under section 66 (1) of the Income tax Act. Though it appears that there was one order of reference to the High Court and the High Court treated the case as a single case of reference	 it could be said that there were in fact a number of references. The present case however originated out of one petition under article 226 of the Constitution challenging the validity of various assessment orders. Obviously here	 there was only one proceeding. It could not be said that there were as many proceedings as there were assessment orders for the petitioner had by a single petition callenged them all together. When an appeal is taken to this Court from the judgment of the High Court in such a petition	 it is impossible to contend that there are more appeals than one. Therefore	 the appellant before us is liable only to pay one set of court fee and other charges as in a single appeal. Action may be taken accordingly by the office	 if necessary	 by refunding the excess charges made.

This appeal was against the order of the Deputy Registrar directing the present case to be registered as nine appeals and requiring the appellant to pay nine sets of court fees. The case originated out of one petition under article 226 of the Constition challenging the validity of various assessment orders. The High Court passed one order on the petition and one appeal was filed in this Court. 886 Held that the appellant should pay only one set of court fee and other charges as in a single appeal. It could not be said that there were as many proceedings as there were assessment orders as the appellant had by a single petition challenged them all together. Lajwanti Sial 's case	 Petition for special leave No. 673 of 1959 and Kishinchand Chellaram 's case	 C.A. Nos. 462 to 465 of 1960	 referred to.
