Judgment & Decree
M. R. KHAN, J. This petition is out of time by 5 days. The petitioners have applied for condonation of the delay on the ground that they had been under the impression that this Court A remained closed during the vacation till before the 4th October 1971. This was hardly a sufficient ground for condonation of the delay. It was earlier held by this Court in Fateh Ali Khan v. Muhammad Khan (1971 S C M R 354) that for the purpose of filing of petitions etc. the Court remains open during the vacation. In fact, the petition was filed during the vacation on the 14th September 1971, but it was by then out of time by 5 days. The petition is; accordingly, dismissed as barred by time. Petition dismissed.
