Reliance is placed on the dictums laid down by the
Hon‟ble Supreme Court in case Lahore Development Authority v.
Muhammad Rashid (1997 SCMR 1224) wherein it has been held that:
“The circumstances pointed out by the learned Judge quite
clearly show that the petitioner‟s officials acted with gross
negligence in re-filing the revision petition. They took almost
one year in doing what they were required to do in seven days
and the explanation offered by them for this inordinate delay
has not been found to be convincing by the learned Judge and
rightly so, in our view. It has not been denied that the High
Court Rules and Orders empowered the Deputy Registrar to
raise the objections and fix the time for removing the same.
That being so, revision petition re-filed long after the expiry of
the period specified by the office was rightly dismissed as time
barred.”
