1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.-This order will dispose of the above two petitions, as the question of law falling for determination in both the matters in the same.
2. We do not find any force in these petitions. The time allowed for an appeal under subsection (4) of section 15 to the High Court, under the Ordinance, is 30 days, whereas under Article 156 of the Limitation Act it is 90 days. The time allowed for filing the appeal by the special law i.e., West Pakistan Urban Rent Restriction Ordinance, 1959 being different from that given in the Limitation Act, Section 5 stands excluded by virtue of section 29(2) of the Limitation Act, which permits the application of only, sections 4, 9 to 18 and 22 in such situations. The same view has also been taken by us in Abdul Ghaffar and others v. Mst. Mumtaz (PLD1982 SC 88). The High Court, therefore, rightly dismissed the applications for condonation of delay invoking the provisions of section 5 of the Limitation Act.
3. The upshot is that no ground for interference in the orders passed by the High Court has been made out. Hence both these petitions must fail and are hereby dismissed.
4. The interim order of stay, dated 21-6-1980 passed in Civil Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 798 of 1980, accordingly, also stands vacated.
5. M. Z. M. revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
