Judgment ORDER MUHAMAMD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.---Leave to appeal has been sought by the defendants' side in a suit for declaration regarding title which also involved the question of paternity of parties; against the dismissal by the High Court, of petitioners' civil revision. The respondents' suit having been decreed the petitioners' appeal was dismissed. They filed civil revision which was also dismissed but for non --prosecution. Their application for restoration was dismissed. They filed another civil revision which has also been dismissed on the ground of laches. We heard the learned counsel at length and asked him to explain the delay which has been taken note by the High Court in accordance with the principles enunciated by this Court in `Manager, Jammu & Kashmir, State Property in Pakistan v. Khuda Yar and another' PLD 1975 SC 678. He having failed to satisfy us in this behalf, no justification has been made out for interference. Leave to appeal, therefore, is refused.
