1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.-The contention raised is that section 17 of the Court Fees Act, 1870 is subject to the provisions of the proviso to Article 1 of Schedule I of the Court Fees Act, as substituted by section 8 of the Punjab Finance Act, 1973, and, therefore, the demand of the additional court-fee of Rs. 15,000 was unwarranted inasmuch as the court-fee of Rs. 15,000 had already been paid on the suit.
2. The contention raised requires further consideration. Leave is, accor--dingly, granted.
3. Security in the sum of Rs. 2,000 within one month.
4. The appeal to be made ready on the present record with liberty to the parties to add further documents, if any.
5. The payment of additional court-fee stayed meanwhile.
