Court dismisses application for free legal aid due to lack of sufficient financial hardship. Applicant failed to prove inability to pay costs.

The court dismissed the applicant's request for free legal aid in a civil proceeding regarding a dispute over property rights.

Consequently, the applicant was ordered to bear the costs of the proceedings themselves.
