Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑A service appeal having been dismissed by N.‑W.F.P. Service Tribunal on grounds of limitation as well as on merits: leave to appeal has now been sought on both points. We, having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner on question of limitation at some length, are satisfied that the petitioner's appeal before the Tribunal was time‑barred and it merited to be dismissed on this ground alone. There is no need to examine points on merits. Leave to appeal, therefore, is refused. M.A.K./S‑305/S Leave refused.
