Dhaka High Court Fee Stamp

Pakistan · 1947 · 1 Rupee

The stamp features a crown, 'INDIA POSTAGE & REVENUE', and 'ONE RUPEE', with a circular overprint in local script indicating its use in Pakistan. The design is typical of British Indian revenue stamps.

This stamp represents the transitional period immediately following the partition of India in 1947, where newly formed Pakistan utilized existing British Indian revenue stamps by overprinting them for official use in the Dhaka High Court.
