One of the most important innovations in these rules is the execution of the policy to reduce the volume of applications for extension of time which have been abused over the years. Now, time provided by the rules is automatically extended for the same period in the first instance, it is also further extended for the period provided with payment of penalty for default and no application for extension of time shall be entertained thereafter except in an appeal against a death penalty.
