Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD HALEEM, C.J.‑‑In this petition the dispute is in regard to the under valuation of the pre‑emption suit. The trial Court held that the value of the well in Khasra No. 635 had not been included in the statement of 'Fard Khalis Profit' and accordingly the suit was under valued for the purpose courtfee. But the appellate Court held that the well was not separate from the agricultural land but subservient to it and accordingly the suit was not under valued. The High Court in civil revision also upheld the conclusion of the appellate Court and we see no justification to disagree with this finding of fact as to the suit being properly valued. Accordingly the petition has no force and is dismissed. M. I. Petition dismissed.
