MANSU KHAN Versus SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER (LANDS)

ORDER

1. MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑ This petition for leave to appeal is direct ed against order dated 1‑10‑1983 of the Lahore High Court whereby a Letters Patent Appeal was dismissed as barred by time.

2. We have examined the ground for condo nation of delay urged before the High Court. None of them including the alleged illness of the petitioner or delay in arranging funds is such that refusal to condone delay in exercise of discretion, could be considered as against any unaccepted principle. The consideration by the High Court of the question whether the petitioner was so ill at all as to incapacitate him is also unexceptionable. No justification has been made out for interference. This petition is accordingly dismissed.

3. M. Z. M. Petition dismissed.
