A pre-emption suit filed by the respondents on 5-12-1981 with regard to sale of 1/15th share of agricultural land on the ground also of being the co---sharers thereof, was contested by the petitioner but decreed by the trial Court on 18-11-1987 by repelling the defence pleas of limitation and waiver.
2. Vendee's appeal there against to contest the trial Court's findings was also dismissed on 17-7- 1988 by an Additional District Judge by affirming the decree of the trial Court.
3. He has now come up to this Court on revision and it is urged that since decree had not been passed m favour of the pre-emptors before the target date (31-7-1986) fixed in the case of Malik Said Kamal Shah reported as PLD 1986 SC 360, therefore, none was open to be passed thereafter.
4. Such is also the view taken by their Lordships of the Supreme Court in Muhammad Shoaib and others v. Member (Revenue) and others PLD 1988 SC 355, therefore, the decree passed in favour of the respondents is not sustainable in law and the same is accordingly set aside upon accepting this Civil Revision. Suit of the respondents is dismissed as having become infructuous in view of the law laid down by the Supreme Court. Parties are, hence, left to bear their own costs throughout.
