CitationName : 1952 PLD 156 LAHORE-HIGH-COURT-LAHORE

Side Appellant :MUHAMMAD GHAZANFAR

Side Opponent : MST. NUR BASAR

Limitation Act 1908 ----S. 5-Applies to application under O. 44, R. 1, The language of section 5 of the Limitation Act shows clearly that the intention of the Legislature was that applications of the present kind (i.e., to be all owed to appeal as a pauper) could be admitted after the period of limitation had expired if the conditions required by section 5 of the Limitation Act were fulfilled. Section 5 of the Limitation Act was applied by all the High Courts in British india before its partition to applications under Order 45 of the Code of Civil Procedure for leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and there is no reason why it should not apply to applications under Order 44, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
