' MANZOOR HUSSAIN SIAL, J.---By this order we propose to dispose of Civil Petitions Nos. 461, 462, 463 and 464 of 1994, as they arise out of similar facts and raise identical legal point therein.
2. The petitioners seek leave to appeal against similar orders passed by the learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court (Multan Bench) directing the petitioners to pay Secretariat Allowance to the respondents pending decision of the writ petitions filed by them.
3. The orders impugned were passed by the learned Single Judge in the Lahore High Court on the strength of the direction made by this Court to the petitioners for payment of Secretariat Allowance in Federation of Pakistan v. Abdur Rehman (C.P.No, 165 of 1994).
3. All the above noted petitions not only impugned interim orders but are barred by time for over 18 days. The explanation tendered for condonation of delay is hardly satisfactory.
' We are, therefore, not inclined to grant leave in these petitions so as to call for interference in the impugned orders and dismiss these petitions.
