Judge(s)Salahuddin Ahmad, Hamoodur Rahman, Sajjad Ahmad Jan
ResultPetition dismissed

1. SAJJAD AHMAD, J.-This petition is barred by 47 days. The petitioner filed his revision in the High Court against his convic--tions and sentences under sections 458 and 307, P. P. C. Which was dismissed on the 30th of December 1970. He then applied for a review of the High Court's judgment passed in revision. The review application was not pressed, as the learned counsel appearing for him admitted that it was not maintainable. The review petition was, therefore, dismissed on the 15th of February 1971.

2. The present petition for leave to appeal was filed on the 25th of March 1971.. The petitioner claims the exclusion of time, which was spent by him for obtaining a copy of the judgment of the High Court made in his review application, claiming further that the date of the disposal of his review petition gives him the starting point of limitation for the present petition for leave to appeal.

3. Review is not admissible in criminal proceedings under the Code of Criminal Procedure. It seems that, by filing a review petition and getting it dismissed, the petitioner merely resorted to a ruse to create a fresh starting point for himself for coming to this Court. Such an exercise must be condemned.

4. This petition being hopelessly time-barred, is dismissed' as such. 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.
