| Decision |
The petition was dismissed as barred by limitation, with a delay of 31 days in filing the petition for leave to appeal. The petitioner did not provide a satisfactory explanation for the delay, which was attributed to his financial status. The court noted that the copy of the order sought to be appealed against had been ready for delivery for three months, yet the petition was filed late, leading to the dismissal of the case. |
