Reported As: 1997 SCMR 955 Result: Leave refused Judgment JUDGMENT ZIA MAHMOOD MIRZA, J.---This petition for leave to appeal is barred by five days. Learned counsel submiti that under the procedure rules of the Service Tribunal, copies of the orders are supplied to the parties free of cost through post but in the instant case, certified copy of the impugned order was not sent by the office of the Service Tribunal to the petitioner and he himself applied for certified copy of the impugned order of the Service Tribunal which was supplied to him on 26-6- 1995. Petitioner thereafter waited for the certified copy of the impugned order which was to be sent by the office of the Tribunal but that was never received. He then filed the petition in this Court and appended therewith certified copy of the order which he had himself obtained. Learned counsel does not deny that the petition filed in this Court is barred by five days. We are not satisfied with the explanation given by the petitioner. He having obtained the certified copy of the impugned order on 26-6-1995 could and should have filed the petition for leave to appeal in this Court within the which he failed to do. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to condone the delay and dismiss the leave petition as the-barred.
