Judgment & Decree

MIAN SAQIB NISAR, J.

The cause of pre-emption propounded by the petitioner against the respondent has failed at both the forums below on the issue of Talbs; respective judgments and decrees of the Courts below are dated 17-5-2008 and 29-8-2009. It has been categorically found by the two Courts that though in the plaint the petitioner claims that he had learnt about the sale Mutation dated 16-5-2003 on 28-7-2003 and thereafter served upon the vendee with a notice of Talb-e-lshhad on 30-7-2003, but while appearing as a witness, he himself has stated that:- It is further stated in his cross-examination that:- P.W.2 Abdul Majeed, who is stated to have informed the petitioner about the sale, in his examination-in-chief has not given the exact date, time and the venue where the information was passed on to the petitioner and he allegedly made Talb-e-Muwathibat. However, in the cross-examination it is stated by him that:- This is a clear contradiction between the two statements. Moreover, P.W.3. who is another witness of the petitioner states in the cross-examination that:- Obviously, on account of such poor quality of evidence, the petitioner has failed to prove Talb-e-Muwathibat in the above context taking his statement that he learnt about the sale after one month of the mutation, which is dated 16-5-2003. The notice of Talb-e-Ishhad dated 30-7-2003 was also not sent within 15 days as required under the law, therefore, the second Talb is also not validly made. In the light of above, I do not find any error in the concurrent finding of facts recorded by the two courts below calling for interference in the revisional jurisdiction. Accordingly, the revision petition is dismissed. H.B.T./L-2/L Petition dismissed.
