Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the applicability of Section 15(2) of the Punjab Pre-emption Act in the context of two appeals concerning the pre-emption rights of tenants Tikka Ram and Sewa Ram over land sold by Smt. Kishni. The Court held that the sale executed by a female vendor is not pre-emptible under the specified section, thereby upholding the High Court's decision to allow the vendees' appeals and dismissing the pre-emption claims of the appellants. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's judgment.
