“In the present case, the High Court gave good reasons for declining to condone the delay. It held that the ground taken by the appellants in their application under section 5 of the Limitation Act that they could not file the appeal within time as they had entered into correspondence with litigating departments and the Solicitor was quite vague and reliance was also placed in a judgment of this Court reported in 1990 SCMR 1059 wherein it was held that “It is well-settled principle of law that under section 5 of the Limitation Act, delay of each day is to be explained” and further that, the Government cannot be treated differently than a private litigant on the question of limitation under section 5 of the Limitation Act.”
