(a) North-West Frontier Province Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)-------S.35---North-West Frontier Province Pre-emption Act (XIV of 1950), S.5(c)--Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 185(3)---Leave to appeal was granted to preemptor to examine whether the High Court, in revision, while restoring the and decree of the Trial Court dismissing the suit, had not kept in view the provisions of S.35, North-West Frontier Province Pre-emption Act, 1987 which had been enforced on 28-4-1987 and did not correctly apply the provisions of S. 5(c) of the North-West Frontier Province Pre-emption Act, 1950.
