Versus
NASIR KHAN and others----Respondents
C.R. No.03-P of 2010 with C.M. No.232-M of 2019, decided on 15th November, 2022.
(a) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Scope---For getting a favourable decree in a pre-emption case, a pre-emptor has to establish the performance of all the three talbs i.e. Talb-i-Muwathibat, Talb-i-Ishhad and Talb-i-Khusumat.
(b) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Talb-i-Ishhad---Proof---Section 13 of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act, 1987, mandates that the notice of Talb-i-Ishhad must be attested by two truthful witnesses and thus in order to prove the same a pre-emptor has to produce them in Court.
(c) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Talb-i-Ishhad---Non-production of witnesses---Effect---Plaintiff had produced only one out of two witnesses of the notice of Talb-i-Ishhad---Such failure was a grave and blatant violation of S. 13, of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act, 1987, therefore, such notice of Talb-i-Ishhad would not be deemed to have been proved by the plaintiff.
(d) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Preemption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Talb-i-Ishhad---Scope---Pre-emptor is bound to produce both the attesting witnesses of notice of Talb-i-Ishhad.
Bilal Ahmad and another v. Abdul Hameed 2020 SCMR 445; Mst. Nusrat Bibi v. Nazir Akhtar 2015 SCMR 808 and Dawa Khan through L.Rs and others v. Muhammad Tayyab 2013 SCMR 1113 rel.
(e) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Talb-i-Ishhad---Proof---Notice of Talb-i-Ishhad was not exhibited in evidence by the plaintiff on the pretext that since the original notice of Talb-i-Ishhad was sent to the vendees, therefore, the same was not exhibited under the impression that a photo state copy of the same could not be exhibited---When sending of notice of Talb-i-Ishhad to vendee was the requirement of S.13(3) and notice of Talb-i-Ishhad was required to be proved then a photostat copy of the same could be produced and exhibited.
(f) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pre-emption Act (X of 1987)---
----S. 13---Suit for pre-emption---Talb-i-Ishhad---Burden of proof---Scope---Affirmative onus to prove the receipt of notice of Talb-i-Ishhad is on the pre-emptor---Any admission on the part of the vendee is immaterial and even thereafter it is obligatory for the pre-emptor to prove the sending of notice of Talb-i-Ishhad by leading affirmative evidence including production of the postman, who actually delivered or served the notices upon the vendee.

(g) Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984)---
----Art. 77---Rules as to notice to produce---Scope---Article 77 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, stipulates that a person shall not be allowed to produce secondary evidence unless he gave a notice to the person or his advocate in whose possession such document is, however, giving such notice shall not be required where the document to be proved is itself a notice.
