SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--The petitioner's second appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution. He applied for its restoration but his application was dismissed inter alia on the ground that it was barred by time. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.
2. The appeal was dismissed on 16-9-1979 and the application for restoration was made on 24-3- 1980. There is no satisfactory explanation why the petitioner made no efforts to find out as to what had happened to his appeal. The learned Single Judge was therefore right in holding that the appeal was not only barred by time but that it was a case of gross negligence. This is thus not a fit case for interference by this Court. The petition is accordingly dismissed.
