ORDER

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑ Leave to appeal has been sought by a vendee in this pre‑emption matter from Judgment dated 10‑1‑1981 of the Lahore High Court; whereby his Constitutional Petition was dismissed.

2. The learned counsel has contended that on account of the impugned orders, the petitioner has been deprived of raising a plea of limitation because during the pendency of the proceedings before different forums, the respondents' suit for pre‑emption had become time‑barred. When pointed out that the petitioner would be entitled to rely on section 14 of the Limitation Act to prove all the conditions mentioned in that provision for exclusion of the period spent by him before different forums, the learned counsel for the petitioner did not press the petition any further. Leave to appeal is, accordingly, refused.

M.I. /M‑436/S Petition dismissed.
