Section 3(1) of the Law of Limitation Act is constitutional and not arbitrary; a dismissal for time bar is final and precludes further applications for extension of time. The only remedy is appeal. The High Court correctly followed binding precedent, and there is no conflict requiring a full bench. The provision does not violate the right to a fair hearing or access to justice as long as proceedings are instituted within the prescribed time.
