1. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The Collector, while decreeing the pre-emption suit of the petitioners, granted them a decree on payment of Rs.1,29,000. The petitioners challenged the finding of the Collector regarding the amount of sale price through an appeal. But this was dismissed (by the Additional Commissioner). Their further revision to the Board of Revenue was also dismissed and the writ petition filed against these orders, before the High Court, also failed. Hence, this petition for leave to appeal.
2. The question as to whether the sale price was indeed Rs.1,29,000 is clearly a question of fact and any finding thereon could not successfully be challenged before the High Court in its writ jurisdiction. The High Court, therefore, rightly refused to interfere and such a decision cannot be interfered with by this Court.
