SHAUKAT ALI Versus MUHAMMAD INAM

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J .‑‑This is a vendees' petition in a pre‑emption matter against the dismissal of their Regular First Appeal by the High Court.

The only point pressed by the learned counsel relates to the so‑called late deposit of pre‑emption money.

2. It is not denied by the learned counsel that the so‑called default on the part of the respondent /pre‑emptor resulted on account of a wrong order passed by the learned trial Court with regard to the actual amount to be deposited. The only noticeable circumstance pointed out is that he should have been vigilant so as to prevent the Court from committing the error. We do not agree with him; firstly, on the point that the respondent was not vigilant, and secondly, from the record it does not appear that when the petitioners became aware of the error committed by the trial Court they did anything within their power to get the error corrected on the assumption that the parties before our Courts act in aid of legality and justice and do not want to obtain illegal gains nor do they try to trap the adversary in technical faults. Be that as it may, after hearing the learned counsel, we are unable to find any substance in this petitions and the same is dismissed.

M.I./S‑189/S Petition dismissed.
