‑‑‑‑S. 15‑‑‑Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Art. 185(3)‑‑‑Petitioner claiming superiority of his pre‑emption right on ground of his relationship being brother of vendor and co‑owner in the Patti ‑‑‑No decree was passed in favour of petitioner till 31st of July, 1986‑‑‑Ground pressed for claiming superior right of pre‑emption being not available after 31st of July, 1986, suit could not, end in favour of petitioner‑‑‑No ground was made out for interference in the order passed by Court below‑‑‑Leave to appeal was refused. Ghazanfar Ali Gondal, Advocate instructed by Ejaz Ahmad Khan, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioner. Tanvir Ahmed, Advocate‑on‑Record for Respondents. Date of hearing: 27th February, 1992. SHAFIUR RAHMAN, J.‑‑‑The petitioner was a pre‑emptor claiming superiority of his pre‑emption right on the ground of his relationship being brother of the vendor and co‑owner in the Patti. No decree was passed in favour of the petitioner till 31st of July, 1986. The High Court has held that the order rejecting the plaint was not proper but at the same time .has not allowed the continuation of the proceedings because it would be an exercise in futility.

2. We find that indeed the ground pressed for claiming superior right of pre‑emption was not available after‑31st of July, 1986 and the suit could not end in favour of the petitioner. The order of the High Court is, therefore, unexceptional.

3. No case is made out for interference. Hence, leave to appeal is refused. A.A./S‑665/S Leave refused.
