Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the implications of the Haryana Amending Act No.10 of 1995 on the right of co-sharers to pre-empt sales. The Court held that the amendment was prospective and did not affect decrees passed before its enactment, thus upholding the first appellate court's decree in favor of the plaintiff-appellant Ram Kanwar. The Court corrected an error in its previous judgment dated 31.7.2001, ensuring that the operative part reflected the allowance of the civil appeal rather than a dismissal.
