' MIAN HAMID FAROOQ, J.--- Deputy Post Master General, Region-III, Post Office Department, Hyderabad and others petitioners, seek leave to appeal against judgment dated 12-1-2008, whereby the learned Federal Service Tribunal, Karachi (Tribunal) accepted respondent's appeal, set aside the dismissal order and directed reinstatement of the respondent in service with all back- benefits.
2. We have heard the learned Deputy Attorney-General for a considerable length and examined the available record. It has been reported by the Office that the petition is barred by time by two days, for which the petitioners have filed an application under section 5 of the Limitation Act read with Order XXXIII of Supreme Court Rules, 1980, for condonation of delay. Upon examination of the contents of the said application, we do not find any "sufficient cause" within the parameters of law to condone the delay, thus we are not persuaded to condone the reported delay.
3. Additionally, after having heard the learned Deputy Attorney General, we are of the firm view that no question of law of public importance within the contemplation of Article 212(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is involved in this case. No case for the grant of leave to appeal is made out.
4. In view of the above, the present petition is barred by time and devoid of merits as well, thus stands dismissed on both the counts. Leave is declined.
