Date of hearing: 23rd May. 1988. . ORDER SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.‑‑These are three petitions for special leave to appeal arising out of pre‑emption suits. The petitioners are the pre‑emptors. It is admitted that so far no decree has been passed in their favour. It is not claimed that the requirement cf 'Talabs' as to Islam was fulfilled in these cases. In C.P.S.L.A. No.747 of 1983, learned counsel for the petitioners had not even heard of the expression 'Talab'. That being so, no decree can now be passed in their favour in view of the judgment of this Court in Sardar Ali v. Muhammad Ali (C .A. No.208 of 1980, decided on 2‑5‑1988: P L D 1988 S C 287). These petitions are accordingly dismissed. M.B.A./S‑149/S Petitions dismissed.
