Law: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act, (X of 1987)
Section: 13(2),5,33
(a) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)--- ----S. 13(2)---Talb---Talb-i-Muwathibat---Burden of proof---Person conveying information of sale and price not produced as witness---Effect---Initial burden of proof with regard to conveying of the information of sale and price lay upon the pre-emptor, who failed to discharge the same---Person who had conveyed information of sale and price to brother of pre-emptor, who in turn passed it onto the pre-emptor, was not produced as a witness---Elements of Talb-i-Muwathibat were thus not proved---Appeal was allowed accordingly and suit for pre-emption was dismissed.
