(a) Pre-emption--- ----Right of pre-emption---Inheritability and transferability---Scope --- Right of pre-emption could be transferred or inherited only after passing of decree in favour of pre-emptor, but not prior thereto ---Principles. The right of pre-emption runs with the land and is not personal initially; it turns out to be personal for the purpose of its enforceability in a court of law right from time of sale of the property till the date of decree in favour of the pre-emptor. In other words, the right optimizes to be personal to a pre-emptor until a decree is passed in his favour, and during this interregnum, this right is neither transferrable nor inheritable. In such a situation, if the pre-emptor dies before obtaining a decree in his favour in the Trial Court or as the case may be, the appellate or revisional court, his right of pre-emption shall remain exclusively personal and shall not survive to his heir. But no sooner is a decree passed in favour of the pre-emptor, then the right becomes a proprietary one and is not only capable of being transferred, but also inherited. Government of N.W.F.P. v.
