Law:

Section:

Punjab Pre-emption Act (IX of 1991)--S. 13---Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 199---Suit for pre­emption ---Making of "Talab-i-Muwathibat" and "Talb-e-Ishhad"---Trial Court as well as Appellate Court below concurrently found that pre-emptor had not made "Talb-i-Muwathiwat" and "Talb-e-Ishhad" in accordance with S. 13, Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1991 and due to that omission right of pre­emption vesting in pre-emptor, stood extinguished---Such concurrent findings of Courts below which were upheld by High Court being based on record, could not be interfered with by Supreme Court.

The pre-emptor-petitioner was, thus, non/suited by the trial Court. 3. The learned Additional District Judge, Kharian, who was seized of the appeal, filed by the pre-emptor-petitioner, maintained the afore-noted findings and observed as under:-- "The sale sought to be pre-empted is dated 20-2-1989, whereas the original suit was instituted on 25-1-1990 i.e. about 10 months after the sale. It may be noted here that the appellant also instituted a suit for permanent injunction in respect of the impugned sale on 12-4-1989 i.e. within about two months of the impugned sale. Para.
