Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑This petition by pre‑emptor is directed against a Judgment of the Lahore High Court; whereby respon4ent/Vendee's Regular Second Appeal was allowed.

2. The learned Trial Court accepted the respondent/vendee's plea that the transaction in question was that of exchange, therefore, the petitioners' suit was dismissed. His appeal was allowed by the District Court. It was held that the transaction was of sale, the trial Court's Judgment was reversed and a decree for pre‑emption was passed. The vendee ten filed‑ the Regular Second Appeal, whereupon the finding by the lower appellate Court that the transaction was one of sale was reversed and the finding that it was one of exchange rendered by the trial Court was restored with the result that the High Court dismissed the petitioners' suit for pre‑emption.

3. In seeking leave to appeal, no such point has been urged on behalf of the petitioners, which could justify interference by this Court either on point of law or fact. This petition is, therefore, dismissed. M.BA./N‑150/S Petition dismissed.
