Law: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act, (X of 1987)

Law: Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984)
Section: 71
(a) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)----S. 13(2)---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 71---Suit for possession through pre-emption--- Talb-i-Muwathibat--- Proof---Evidence of witness of Talb-i-Muwathibat must be direct---Person who conveys the information of the fact of sale must be a person who has seen the fact of sale and it is he who can then pass on the said fact to another person(s)---Thus, the chain of the source of information, as to the fact of sale, from the very first person, who has the direct knowledge thereof and passes on the same to the person who lastly informs the pre-emptor, must be complete---Only the complete chain of the source of information of the sale can establish the essential elements of Talb-i-Muwathibat, which are: (i) the time, date and place when the pre-emptor obtained the first information of the sale, and; (ii) the immediate declaration of his intention by the pre-emptor to exercise his right of pre-emption, then and there, on obtaining such information---Where the entire case as to making of Talb-i-Muwathibat is built on the hearsay evidence of a witness, it would raise doubts on the veracity and truthfulness of the witnesses produced by pre-emptor.
