PUNJAB PRE-EMPTION ACT, 1913
Pre-emption--It is essential for the plaintiff in a suit of pre-emption to prove his tenancy on the date of sale and does not lay down that even if in the absence of proof of tenancy decree is required to be passed merely on the basis of possession.; Chhelu Ram v. Dan Singh.,: 2010(1) Law Herald (P&H) 521
