Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals, affirming that there is no law of pre-emption allowing a decree under Section 15(1) of the Punjab Pre-emption Act. The Court held that the suits were effectively dismissed under Order 20 Rule 14 of the Code of Civil Procedure due to non-compliance with the decree's terms, and thus the objections raised by the vendee were sustained. The Court also ruled that any decretal money deposited by the appellants could be withdrawn if not already done so.
