| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan dismissed the petition for leave to appeal against the Lahore High Court's order which had dismissed a Letters Patent Appeal as barred by time. The court examined the grounds for the condonation of delay, including the petitioner's alleged illness and delay in arranging funds. The court found these reasons insufficient for granting discretion to condone the delay, and thus upheld the High Court's decision. The court emphasized that the consideration of the petitioner's illness was reasonable and no justification for interference was presented, leading to the dismissal of the petition. |
