Hazari & Ors vs Neki & Ors on 25 January, 1968
As they
deal with the right of pre-emption and fall in line with the
aforesaid decision of this Court in the case of Hazari v.
Neki (supra) we do not dilate on the same. We may also
mention that this is not a case of any right of statutory
pre-emption but is reflects a scheme of priorities for
getting the property reconveyed as per the contract entered
into between defendant no. 1 on the one hand and original
vendor Amir Jehan Begam on the other. It also enured for the
benefit of the named beneficiaries of the said Agreement of
reconveyance. It is a contractual scheme of priorities
conferred on specified types of persons mentioned therein
and their right to get the property reconveyed will have to
be adjudicated upon within the forecorners of the said
Agreement and not dehors it. In this connection we may refer
to two decisions on which strong reliance was placed by
learned counsel for the respondents, heirs of original
plaintiff.
