Whether Free copy received by litigant can be filed along with appeal in place of certified copy?

Therefore we find that it will be in the interests of all

the parties to a claim, especially the claimants that the copy of

the award, which should be filed        along with the appeal as

envisaged in Rule 396 of the Rules should be authenticated and

should contain the particulars no.1 to 11 specified in Rule 254 of

the Civil Rules of Practice and therefore the free copy under

Section 168(2) cannot be accepted in substitute of the certified

copy. We find that issuing of copy of the judgement or award by

the court under Section 168(2) is not for the purpose of filing an

appeal and such an interpretation will not be in any way

beneficial to the parties, as the period of limitation runs from the

date of receipt of the copy. Therefore we do not find it necessary

to withdraw the directives contained in the judgment reported in
