ORDER

MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑‑Leave to appeal has been sought by a vendee in a pre‑emption matter against the dismissal of his civil revision by the High Court.

Learned counsel has raised two points in support of this petition; (i) payment of deficient court‑fee by the plain tiff/pre‑emptor; and (ii) bar of waiver against the pre‑emptor.

The first point stands concluded by the judgment of this Court in the case of Siddique Khan (P L D 1984 S C 289) which goes against the petitioner; and the second point, stands concluded by A the findings of fact rendered in the impugned judgments.

After hearing the learned counsel on the second point which was pressed during the arguments, we do not find any justification for interference with the impugned judgment. Leave to appeal accordingly is refused.

M.I. /N‑80/S Petition dismissed.
