Judgment & Decree

M. Ashraf Elahi, Advocate Supreme Court with Jafri, Advocate‑on‑Record for Respondent. Date of hearing: 21st December, 1985. NASIM HASAN SHAH, J. The question involved in this case is whether the suit for Pre-emptor filed by the pre-emptor was within limitation?

2. The sale, which was pre‑empted, was attested on 14‑10‑1968 and the suit to pre‑empt the sale was filed on 14‑10‑1969 within the prescribed period of one year. However, the plea of the vendee was that although the sale was attested on 14‑10‑1968 the mutation was entered on 20‑7‑1968 and the actual physical possession passed to him much before 14‑10‑1968 and since he (the vendee) had taken physical possession of the land under the sale before 14‑10‑1968 the suit filed on 14‑10‑1969 was barred by time. This aspect of the case was considered by the appellate Court, namely, Additional District Judge, Gujrat and he after going through the evidence, both oral as well as documentary, held as follows: "The vendee had failed to prove that he had taken possession of the suit land prior to, the attesation mutation (Exh.P.2)."

3. The above finding of the learned Additional District Judge has been upheld by the High Court. 4.Sh. Ghias Muhammad learned counsel for the petitioner in this petition for leave to appeal has prayed for reconsideration of the above finding.

5. We observe that the finding being assailed before us relates to a question of fact and that it has not been shown that this finding is based on any misreading or non reading of the relevant evidence.

6. There is no force in this petition. It is, accordingly, dismissed. M. B. A. Petition dismissed.
