| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal filed by the petitioners on the grounds of belated filing, which was done with a delay of 11 days without a valid reason for condonation. The court emphasized the importance of adhering to prescribed timelines for filing appeals and highlighted the irresponsibility of risking a significant claim of 2.8 million rupees over a mere court fee of 250 rupees. The application for condonation of delay was dismissed, leading to the dismissal of the petition for leave to appeal as well. |
| Summary |
In the case of Civil Petition No. 4145 of 2022, heard by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the petitioners sought to appeal against a decision made by the Peshawar High Court. The case revolved around the issue of limitation and the condonation of delay in filing the petition. The court scrutinized the reasons provided by the petitioners for the delay, which included awaiting permission from higher authorities. Ultimately, the court found the reasons insufficient and dismissed the petition, stressing the necessity for timely submissions in legal proceedings. The ruling also pointed out that the petitioners had jeopardized a substantial claim of 2.8 million rupees to avoid a nominal court fee. This case underscores the critical importance of adhering to procedural timelines in legal matters, ensuring that parties are diligent in their responsibilities to uphold the integrity of the judicial process.
