Pirthi vs Mohan Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the right of pre-emption based on co-sharership was extinguished by the Punjab Pre-emption (Haryana Amendment) Act, 10 of 1995, which limited such rights to tenants only. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the appellant-plaintiff lost the character of a co-owner during the pendency of the suit, rendering the suit not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower courts' rulings.
