3[(3) Where the appeal is against a decree for payment of money, the appellant shall, within such time as the Appellate Court may allow, deposit the amount disputed in the appeal or furnish such security in respect thereof as the Court may think fit.]

Code of Civil Procedure


Simplification:

Order XLI Rule 1 stood amended to the effect that there may be one appeal against the separate judgments and decrees if two or more than two Suits have been tried together and a common judgment has been delivered. It shall be accompanied by the copy of the judgment. Earlier, it was necessary to file the copy of the degree also, and therefore, separate appeals were maintainable.
