Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑These two petitions have been filed by the plaintiffs in two separate pre‑emption matters. The main question involved therein is common. Therefore they are being disposed of together.

2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners have stated that both the suits were filed prior to 31st of July, 19F6 when the decision of this Court in the case of Said Kamal Shah (P L D 1986 SC 3C0) became effective; yet, no decree has been passed in favour of the petitioners so far at any stage. That being so, no fresh decree can now be passed in the circumstances, in favour of the petitioners. It has been so held in Sardar Ali and others v. Muhammad Ali and ethers (P L D 1988 S C 287). These petitions fail and are, accordingly, dismissed. M.Y.H./K‑52/S Petitions dismissed.
