' IRSHAD HASAN KHAN, J.---The petition is barred by 94 days. An application has been moved by the petitioner under Order XXXIII, Rule 6 of the Supreme Court Rules, 1980 for condonation of delay. The delay is sought to be condoned on the following grounds:-- "(2) That the petitioner came to know through reliable sources about the judgment mentioned above on 28-8-1997.
(3) That certified copies of order/judgment, dated 22-4-1997 etc., was applied for on 30-8-1997 which were delivered on 17-9-1997."
2. Mr. Israr-ul-Haq Mian, learned counsel for the respondents/caveators has placed on record Cause List' of the High Court for 30th April, 1997 to indicate that when the case was listed for announcement before Mr. Justice Mian Saeed-ur-Rehman Farrukh on 30th April. 1997, the names of Mr. Zahid Farani Sheikh, the then A.A.-G. And Mr. Israr-ul-Haq Mian were published. We are, therefore, not persuaded to believe that the petitioner was not aware of the date of announcement of the judgment. Additionally the vague statement made by the petitioner that it came to know through reliable sources about the announcement of the judgment on 28-8-1997, cannot be accepted, inasmuch as, the alleged reliable sources have not been detailed in any manner whatsoever. It appears that the petitioner is not serious even otherwise to pursue the matter, inasmuch as, no one has entered appearance on behalf of the petitioner to argue the case.
However, in the interest of justice we have considered the application moved by the petitioner for condonation of delay and found that the grounds mentioned therein do not constitute any valid reason for condonation.
