Seal Day

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Seal day, motion-day in the Court of Chancery, so called because every motion had to be stamped with the seal, which did not lie in Court in the ordinary sittings out of term, and was therefore specially brought in on days when motions were taken, hence called Seal-days. Accordingly 'the Seal is closed' meant that motions were over for that day. See GREAT SEAL; PRIVY SEAL.
