Bell, Presiding Judge.
1. The superior court, to which this case was appealed under the provisions of Code § 114-710, had jurisdiction. See Fidelity & Cas. Co. of N. Y. v. Whitehead, 114 Ga. App. 630.
2. The filing of a claim for workmen’s compensation within the time required by Code § 114-305 is jurisdictional, and where the claim is not filed in compliance with this section, the claim is barred unless it be shown that some fraud was practiced upon the employee that prevented his filing within the statutory time. Indemnity Ins. Co. v. O’Neal, 104 Ga. App. 305, 306 (1) (121 SE2d 689).
