The application is dismissed as it was filed out of time, beyond the six-month limitation period prescribed by law, and without an application for extension of time. Additionally, the application is premature as the applicant failed to exhaust the right of appeal to the Minister, making the Inspector General's decision not final or conclusive for purposes of judicial review.
