Kumar Gonsusab & Ors vs Sri Mohammed Miyan & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the law of pre-emption based on vicinage, previously deemed void in Bhau Ram vs. B. Baijnath Singh and Sant Ram & Ors. vs. Labh Singh & Ors. The Court held that the High Court's ruling, which upheld the constitutionality of such pre-emption rights following constitutional amendments, was correct. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to allow the respondents' claim for pre-emption.
