MUHAMMAD RAMZAN Versus NIAZ ALI

1. MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J .‑‑These petitions for leave to appeal have been filed by vendees in separate pre‑emption matters.

2. Their learned counsel have stated that no decree having been passed in favour of any of the respondent/ pre‑emptors before 31‑7‑1986, the same cannot now be passed in their favour.

3. The position taken by the learned counsel is correct and has the support of the judgment of this Court in the case of Sardar Ali v. Muhammad Ali P L D 1988 S C 287. These petitions are, therefore, dismissed as having become infructuous. The petitioners, however, may now raise the plea before the Court concerned where the matters might now be pending.

4. M . I . / M‑500 / S Petitions dismissed.
