27 So. 2d 548 | Miss. | 1946
Lead Opinion
This case is controlled by the opinion this day handed down in the case of California Company v. State Oil and Gas Board et al.,
Reversed and remanded.
Addendum
In this case the entire procedure laid down in the statute was followed while in the companion case only one petition was filed. However, the California Company there was made a party to the application (or petition) "of T.F. Hodge upon which the hearing was had, and since the statute provides that anyone `being a party to such petition may appeal', it was unnecessary that, after the full hearing was had before the board, the losing party, whether such party had been the California Company or T.F. Hodge, should file another petition seeking that the matter be heard again as a condition precedent to an appeal." We refer to the opinion in the companion case, reported as California Co. v. State Oil Gas Board et al.,
However, we did not condemn this procedure in the instant case, No. 36162, and our main purpose in announcing that it is controlled by the opinion in the other case, was to extend to it our conclusion as to the interpretation of the statute, and the application of substantive law, and other pertinent decision set out in the other case.
The suggestion of error is overruled.
