Judgment ORDER ' IRSHAD HASAN KHAN, ACTG. C.J.---This petition for leave to appeal is directed against the judgment/order dated 17-11-1998 passed by the Lahore High Court, Lahore in R.S.A. No, 170/88. 2. The petition is barred by 123 days. Delay is sought to be condoned on the ground, "the petitioner is living in far off village of Mianwali and could not receive the letter from his counsel regarding the dismissal of his appeal by the Lahore High Court, Lahore dated 17-11-1998". ' We are afraid that this matter is purely between the client and his counsel. The opposite-party cannot be penalized for the alleged negligence of the counsel who could not allegedly inform him in time. ' No sufficient ground exists for condo-nation of delay. Resultantly, the petition is dismissed and leave declined.
