In the case of Civil Revision Application No. 70 of 2008, the Sindh High Court addressed the issue of delay in filing a revision petition. The petitioner, Abdul Rasheed, sought to challenge a decree issued against him regarding a plot of land in Karachi. The court highlighted the importance of adhering to the timelines set forth in the Limitation Act, noting that the applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the significant delay in filing his revision application. The ruling underscored the necessity for litigants to be proactive and diligent in their legal pursuits. Ultimately, the court dismissed the revision application as time-barred, emphasizing that the responsibility lies with the applicant to ensure timely compliance with legal procedures.
