This appeal arises out of a suit for pre-emption based on Muhammadan Law. The second demand (talab-i-istishhad), was made by letter. The lower Appellate Court has held that this was not a compliance with the Muhammadan Law and has dismissed the plaintiff&#8217;s suit. On the facts as found there was no reason why the plaintiff should not have made the second demand in person. It is urged, however, in appeal here that under the Muhammadan Law as properly understood the pre-emptor has an option and he is entitled, if he so pleases, to make his second demand by letter. In support of this proposition certain learned authors on Muhammadan Law have been cited, including Bailey, Macnaghten and Ameer Ali. All these authors touch on the question as to how the second demand may be made. But their views are all based upon a text from Fatawa Alamgiri and must be read therewith. This has been translated for us and no exception is taken to the translation. It is as follows: If a pre-emptor comes to know of the sale while he is on his way to Mecca and makes the talab-i-muwasabat but is unable to perform the talab-i-istishhad personally, he ought to appoint a vakil to make the claim of pre-emption for him. If he cannot find any one whom he may appoint his vakil but finds a messenger, he ought to write a letter and in this letter he ought to appoint a vakil. If he fails to do so; his right of preemption will be lost. But if he can neither find a vakil nor a messenger, his right of pre-emption will not be lost until he finds one.&#8221; It is quite clear that the plaintiff was not unable to make these demands himself, nor is there anything to show that he was unable to appoint a vakil. We think the view taken by the Court below was correct and ought to be affirmed. We dismiss the appeal with costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Muhammad Khalil vs Muhammad Ibrahim on 13 January, 1916 Equivalent citations: 33 Ind Cas 349 Author: H Richards Bench: H Richards, Tudball JUDGMENT Henry Richards, C.J. 1.
