Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 73 of 1968, decided on 26th June 1968.
(On appeal from the judgment and order of the High Court of West Pakistan, Lahore, dated the 25th November 1967, in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 447 o f 1967)
Art. 58 (3) and Supreme Court Rules, 1956, O. XIII, r. 1 & O. XXIV, r. 1‑Petition for Special Leave to Appeal in criminal matter barred by 63 days‑Contention that in matters of bail petitioner thought there was no limitation and hence the delay‑Contention, held, untenable Leave refused.
Muhammad Munir Khan, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by Salim Ahmad Malik, Attorney for Petitioners.
Nemo for the State.
Date of hearing : 26th June 1968.
‑This petition is barred by 63 days. The ground for condonation of the delay that a relative of the petitioners who was pursuing the case for them was under the impression that there was no time limit for filing a petition in this Court in a bail matter, is manifestly untenable, even if it were accepted to be true.
We dismiss the petition as time‑barred.
Petition dismissed.
