ORDER

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑Mahmood A.Qureshi, who is not an A.O.R. in this case, made a statement that Sh.Abdul Karim, A.O.R. having died, no new A.O.R. has been appointed from the petitioners‑side. Riyasat Ali, the learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner instructed Mr.Qureshi to make statement that he will not be able to appear before the Court and the petition may be disposed of on consideration of the material placed on record.

2. We accordingly examined the material and have come to the conclusion that it is not a fit case for grant of leave to appeal, because the main question raised regarding the right of the respondents /pre‑emptors to seek the decree for pre‑emption impugned!, before the High Court stands concluded by findings of fact reached' by the three learned Courts below against the petitioner. Leave to appeal is, accordingly, refused and the petition is dismissed.

M.B.A./S‑151/S Petition dismissed.
