https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200438 Section 24 of the Bengal Civil Courts Act required application of Muhammadan law of pre-emption where the pre-emptor and vendor were Muhammadans and the right originated under that law. The Court treated pre-emption as a legal incident of ownership under Muhammadan jurisprudence, not a mere right of repurchase, and held that the vendee's non-Muhammadan status did not, by itself, exclude the rule. The earlier approach limiting enforcement to justice, equity and good conscience was not accepted for a right arising under Muhammadan law. The referred question was answered in favour of the pre-emptor. en-us Mon, 09 Feb 1885 00:00:00 +0521 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:41:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200438 Section 24 of the Bengal Civil Courts Act required application of Muhammadan law of pre-emption where the pre-emptor and vendor were Muhammadans and the right originated under that law.
