        "text": "Delaney, J.\nOn December 29, 1948, the above named claimant, through his attorney, filed an application for benefits under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act.\nThe complaint alleged that on or about April 22, 1947, claimant was injured by reason of an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment with the Division of Highways of the State of Illinois.\nOn the 23rd day of June, 1949, John R. Lamb, attorney of record for claimant herein, withdrew his appearance in this canse.\nRecord consists of the complaint and a motion to dismiss filed by the Attorney General.\nSection 24 of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act prescribes the limit of time in which an action may be brought for liability for accidental injury and, insofar as is applicable to the present injury, provides as follows:\n\"Provided, that in any case unless application for compensation is filed with the Industrial Commission within one year after the date \u2022of the accident, where no compensation has been paid, or within one year after the date of the last payment of compensation, where any has been paid, the right to file such applications shall be barred.\u201d\nThe filing of a claim for compensation under the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act is jurisdictional and a condition precedent to the right to maintain a proceeding under, the Act. Black vs. Industrial Commission, 393 Ill. 187.\nThis complaint shows on its face that it was filed in this court more than one year after claimant\u2019s alleged injury; therefore, this court is without jurisdiction to hear and determine the issues raised by this complaint.\nFor the reasons assigned, the motion of the Attorney General to dismiss is hereby allowed.\nComplaint dismissed.",
