| Decision |
The learned counsel for the respondent pointed out that the current revision petition is time-barred, a fact admitted by the petitioner's counsel. The petitioner's counsel stated that an application for condonation of delay has been submitted. However, the counsel for the respondent argued that Section 5 of the Limitation Act does not apply to revision petitions, thus the delay in filing cannot be condoned. This argument held merit, leading to the dismissal of the present revision petition due to being time-barred. |
| Summary |
In the case before the Lahore High Court, the petitioner, Muhammad Hanif, sought a revision against Mst. Robina Kausar. The crux of the matter revolved around the timeliness of the revision petition, which was deemed time-barred. The petitioner filed an application for condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1908. However, the respondent's counsel contended that this provision was not applicable to the revision petition, and thus, the delay could not be condoned. The court agreed with this assessment, ultimately dismissing the revision petition. This case highlights the importance of adhering to procedural timelines in civil litigation and the specific limitations applicable to revision petitions. It serves as a reminder to legal practitioners of the stringent requirements surrounding the filing of appeals and revisions, specifically concerning the Limitation Act. Legal professionals must ensure that all procedural requirements are met to avoid the dismissal of cases on technical grounds. The ruling emphasizes the need for timely submissions in legal processes, reinforcing the principle that procedural rules are critical in ensuring justice and efficiency in the legal system. |
