  pre-emptionsuperior right of pre-emptionco-sharerretroactive operationIslamic injunctionssecond appeal
  Summary & questions settled

  This second appeal arises from a pre-emption suit concerning agricultural land. The plaintiff sought pre-emption based on his relationship to the vendor and as a co-sharer. The trial court and the first appellate court decreed the suit in favor of the plaintiff. In the second appeal, the vendee contended that, following the judgment of the Shariat Appellate Bench in Government of N.-W.F.P. v. Malik Said Kamal Shah, pre-emption based on relationship had become repugnant to the Injunctions of Islam and was no longer available, and that this decision operated retrospectively. The Lahore High Court examined the provisions of Article 203-D of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973 and the Punjab Pre-emption Act 1913. The Court held that the decision of the Shariat Appellate Bench does not operate retroactively to destroy or impair rights already enforced and recognized by valid court decrees prior to the date the decision took effect, and that a pre-emptor who maintained his superior right of co-ownership and relationship at the relevant crucial dates is entitled to succeed. The appeal was accordingly dismissed.

  Questions settled

  • Whether the decision of the Shariat Appellate Bench declaring certain pre-emption grounds repugnant to Islam operates retroactively to destroy past and closed transactions or decrees?
  • What are the crucial dates on which a pre-emptor must maintain his superior right of qualifications?
  • Does a pre-emptor lose his right of pre-emption if one of the grounds of superiority is declared repugnant to the Injunctions of Islam while he also qualifies as a co-owner?

  civil revisionmemorandum of appealdecree-sheetappellate jurisdictionlimitationprocedural irregularity
  Summary & questions settled

  This revision petition challenged the judgment and decree of the District Judge, Rahimyar Khan, which dismissed an appeal due to the appellant's failure to append a copy of the decree-sheet to the memorandum of appeal. The core legal question was whether an appellate court is required to grant time for the production of a decree-sheet when it was not initially filed, and whether an appeal is incompetent without such a document. The High Court held that while an appellate court may dispense with the production of a judgment, the filing of a decree-sheet is mandatory under Order XLI Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908. The Court observed that the petitioners were indolent, failing to apply for the decree-sheet's preparation or seek condonation of delay under Section 5 of the Limitation Act 1908 for over four months. Consequently, the Court upheld the dismissal of the appeal, affirming that the appellate court committed no illegality in dismissing an appeal that lacked the mandatory decree-sheet and where no effort was made to rectify the omission.

  Questions settled

  • Is an appeal competent if the memorandum of appeal is not accompanied by a copy of the decree-sheet?
  • Can an appellate court dispense with the requirement of filing a copy of the decree-sheet under Order XLI Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure 1908?
  • Does the failure to file a decree-sheet with an appeal justify the dismissal of the appeal if the appellant remains indolent for several months?
