Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the concurrent findings of fact regarding the right of pre-emption under the Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1913. The Court clarified that the right of pre-emption must exist at the time of registration, filing of the suit, and when the decree is passed, referencing the Constitution Bench judgment in Shyam Sunder v. Ram Kumar (2001) 8 SCC 24. The Court dismissed the appellants' arguments regarding the applicability of the 1985 notification and the limitation period, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
