(a) Limitation Act (IX of 1908)---- S. 12(2)(3) & Art. 179 read with High Court (Lahore) Rules & Orders, Vol. V, Chap. 8-A-Application for grant of certificate for leave to appeal-Limitation-Application for grant of copy of decree made on 9-4-1964-Copy supplied on 15-7-1964-Application for grant of certificate for leave to appeal filed on 6-10-1964 - Application, held, within time and time taken in obtaining copy of decree had to be ex­cluded-Subsection (3), of S. 12 held further, not attracted to case-Sub­section (3) applicable only where decree appealed from or sought to be reviewed-Mere fact of no requirement for filing copies of or decree being laid down in High Court Rules & Orders-No ground to ignore S. 12, Limitation Act, 1908-Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), Ss 109 & 110.
