SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.-- These are two petitions for special leave to appeal from the judgment dated 21-5-1985 of the Lahore High Court.

2. The petitioners in the two petitions filed separate writ petitions in the High Court to challenge the transfer of certain quarters which had been made jointly in favour of Fateh Muhammad and Haider Bakhsh. The petition filed by the petitioner in Civil Petitions for Special Leave to Appeal No.806 was dismissed by the learned Chief Justice on 23-4-1969. She and two others filed a letters patent appeal. On 28-3-1970 while the L.P.A. And the writ petition filed by the petitioner in Civil Petiti6n for Special Leave to Appeal No.805 were still pending Haider Bakhsh I died. The applications for impleading his legal representatives were made after the expiry of the period of limitation without seeking condonation of the delay. The High Court noticed that the parties lived in the same premises and as such the petitioners could not be l unaware of Haider Bakhsh's death. Accordingly, it held that both the L.P.A. And the writ petition had abated and dismissed them on this ground.

3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and do not find that the order of the High Court in holding that the L.P.A.I and the writ petition had abated suffers from any infirmity. These petitions are accordingly dismissed. 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.
