I have been trying this problem http://www.spoj.pl/problems/FPOLICE/. My idea is to modify the single source shortest path problem to 2-D.So instead of using an array to denote the shortest distance I am using a 2-D matrix where state[i][j] indicates the shortest path from the source to the ith node with still having j time left.(The upper limit on left time is denoted by t) Finally I check the last row (state[n-1][j] for all j=t to j=0 ) the minimum cost.If the minimum cost comes out to be INFINITY then there is no way to reach the destination with atleast 0 time remaining.If minimum costs occur for several values of j i pick up the j which is larger.That is the case which yields more remaining time ( i.e. minimum time).For the single source shortest path I started with dijikistra but then switched to bellman-ford for simplicity.(Doesn't looks like o(n^2*t) will be problem)
UPD: Code modified to fix some bugs

Kindly suggest some test cases where my algorithm might be failing.I am almost sure my idea of 2-D Dp is correct,just that I am not able to implement it properly.
UPD: Got the bug.TYpo in if(costMatr[i][j]+state[i][k]<=state[j][k])
should have been if(costMatr[i][j]+state[i][k]<=state[j][k-timeMatr[i][j]])
