Petitioner: FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN VS Respondent: Rao FAZAL KHAN AKHT AR and another
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Muhammad Haleem, M. S. H. Qureshi, Shafi-ur-Rehman Title: FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN vs Rao FAZAL KHAN AKHT AR and another Case No.: Civil Petition No,676-R of 1983 Appeal No,97(R) of 1980 Date of Judgment:1984-04-29 Reported As: 1984 SCMR 1288 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER Muhammad Haleem, C.J.-- This petition is barred by 31 days. An application has been filed for the condonation of delay, and therein what is stated is that the Government was attending to matters needing immediate attention, and for this reason this matter remained pending for consideration as to whether an appeal should be filed. This cannot at all be a reason for the condonation of delay when the Government had 60 clear days to take a decision for the filing of the appeal if the point decided by the Tribunal was of some public importance as contended by the learned Deputy Attorney-General. Accordingly, there was failure on the part of the petitioner to explain the delay of 31 days and the petition is, therefore, liable to be dismissed, which we do so as being barred by time.
