| Decision |
The petition is dismissed as time-barred. It was found that the petition was filed 258 days late, and the petitioners failed to provide a valid ground for condoning the delay. As such, the court ruled that there was no justification for the late submission, and therefore, the petition could not proceed. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Petition for Leave to Appeal No.4-Q of 1987, the Supreme Court of Pakistan addressed the issue of a time-barred petition under the Limitation Act of 1908. The court found that the petitioners had submitted their appeal 258 days late without providing any valid justification for the delay. The judges, including ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, S.A. NUSRAT, and ZAFFAR HUSSAIN MIRZA, concluded that the lack of a reasonable ground for the delay warranted the dismissal of the petition. The ruling emphasized the importance of adhering to the time limits set forth by law, reinforcing the principle that timely submissions are critical in legal proceedings. This case serves as a significant reminder for petitioners regarding the necessity of timely filing and the stringent standards for justifying delays, which can ultimately determine the outcome of their appeals. The court's decision aligns with the provisions of the Limitation Act and highlights the legal framework governing such petitions in Pakistan. |
