Section:

(a) Punjab Pre-emption Act (IX of 1991)--- ----S. 13---Civil Procedure Code (V of 1908), S. 155---Suit for pre-emption by female---Husband of pre-emptor, lady performing Talbs on behalf of his wife--­Validity---Husband of pre-emptor lady claiming to be her representative, couldnot have performed Talbs on behalf of his wife---Where right of pre-emptionhas to be acquired in future even power of attorney could not be executed bywife in favour of husband about fulfilment of Talb-i-Muwathibat---Husband ofpre-emptor, however, was not her attorney at the time of making of first Talb--­Pre-emptor's superior pre-emptive right, thus stood extinguished due to negligence on her part for non-performance of Talbs in accordance withlaw.
