2. The learned counsel has reiterated the grounds taken in the petition for leave to appeal. ,After hearing him, we do not consider it a fit case for grant of leave to appeal as the controversy raised in A this Court now stands concluded by findings of fact rendered against the petitioner. Leave to appeal is, therefore, refused and the petition is dismissed.
