' JAWWAD S. KHAWAJA, J.----This appeal impugns the ex parte decree, dated 7-12-2000, passed by the learned Banking Court, Lahore, and the order, dated 17-4-2001 passed by the said Court dismissing an application filed by the appellant for setting aside of the aforesaid ex parte decree.
2. The learned counsel for the respondent-Bank has pointed out that the appellant was aware of the fixation of the case before the learned Banking Court and had entered appearance through counsel.
3. The application for setting aside of the decree was admittedly filed after the prescribed period of limitation. No valid or justifiable cause has been given for delay in filing of the said application. In these circumstances, the said application being time-barred was rightly dismissed by the learned Banking Court. There is no merit in this appeal, which is dismissed accordingly.
