This is an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act (IX of 1908) for condonation of delay in filing the afore titled Crl. P.S.L.A. Against the judgment dated 18.10.2011 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Mianwali whereby the respondent Nos. 1 to 7 were acquitted in the complaint filed by the petitioner under sections 302, 148 and 149 PPC. 2.
