1. This is a matter in which an Arbitrator was appointed by this Court through C.M.A. No,1501 of 1995 dated 9-4- 1995. The award was given on the 31st July, 1995. Notices were issued and objections had been filed. Today the matter was fixed for hearing. Nobody was present on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. Sami Ahmed learned counsel for the defendant pointed out that the objections were not filed within statutory period of 30 days as provided under Article 158 of the Limitation Act. He has further pointed out that since the period of 30 days is to be computed from the date when the notice is served, therefore, he has drawn my attention to the various dates which are as follows:-- "Bailif f report dated 17-9-1995 shows that the service had been ef fected upon the parties on 12-9-1995. The diary sheet of the Additional Registra r shows that service was held good on the 18th September , 1995 and 30 days were given to file objection from the date of service. Objections were filed on 17-10-1995. Therefore, the objections cannot be taken on consideration as they have been filed beyond the prescribed period as provided under the law ."
2. In this respect Mr. Syed Sami Ahmad has relied upon 1998 MLD 659, 1987 MLD 416, PLD 1984 Pesh. 2 and 1983 SCMR 716. In all these cases the question of limitation in respect of filing of objections has been discussed. Since nobody was present on the last date and even today nobody was present on behalf of the plaintif f therefore, all that which Mr. Syed Sami Ahmed has stated goes clearly unrebutted. It goes without saying that it is by now a settled law that objections have to be filed within 30 days and if they are filed beyond statutory period then they cannot be taken into consideration especially in the absence of any application for cond onation of delay and possible justification as to why the objections were not filed within the prescribed time. The award is, therefore, made rule of the Court and the objections are dismissed.
