“The purpose of a filing deadline is to bring the bankruptcy proceeding to an end and to permit an expeditious determination of whether there is any reason why the bankrupt should not be discharged. Here this purpose was fully accomplished by the bank’s act of filing its objections within the required time period. Whether the filing fees were paid on that day, the next day, or the next week does not effect (sic) the fulfillment of the deadlines purpose.”
