ORDER

1. ' G. SAFDAR SHAH, J.- The writ petition of the petitioner had been' dismissed by the High Court owing to laches. The learned counsel, however, referred to a document. Which he placed before us for the first time in these proceedings and contended that if the said document had been placed before the High Court perhaps the petition would not have been thrown out on the ground of laches.

2. ' We are afraid, there is no force in the contention urged by the learned counsel. He has not explained as to how the said document could not be placed before the High Court. And when faced with this situation, he expressed his desire to withdraw the petition with permission to file a Civil Suit, if necessary.

3. ' This petition is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn. The petitioner may, if so advised, file a civil suit to vindicate his right, but it is needless to say that his suit would be governed by the Law of Limitation, as well as other laws.
