Christmas Day
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Christmas-day, a festival of the Christian Church observed on the 25th of December, in memory of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is one of the usual quarter-days for the payment of rent and salaries; it is also a day on which the offices of the Supreme Court are closed (R.S.C. 1883, Ord. LXIII., r. 6), and it is not reckoned in the computation of time where less than six days is limited for doing anything by a rule of the Supreme Court (Ord. XLIV., r. 2). With respect to this, and also to the closing of public-houses, it stands in the same position as Good Friday.
