There were other defects also noticed by the Office of this Court. The papers were returned on 11-3-1985 for needful being done. The appeal was represented on 8-4-1985 stating that needful had been done. The Office found that the substantial question of law had not been formulated. Hence it re turned the papers on the very day. The Appeal was again re-presented on 27-5-1985 stating that needful had been done.
