Krishna Kumar Singh son of Ram Rakhya Singh resident of village Mehtha, P.S. Obra District Aurangabad. ----------- 4 10/07/2009 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the judgment and order under appeal. The pre-emption application of respondent no. 5 has been allowed by all the authorities under the Act. Before us it was submitted that the Authorities have wrongly held that the applicant was a boundary raiyat of the transferred land. No material was shown which could substantiate the submission. It is further submitted that the transferor was not made party in the pre-emption application which was necessary in view of the Rules and the prescribed format in Form LC- 13. The findings of the writ Court are to the contrary and on the basis of the documents annexed to the counter affidavit it has been held that the transferor was noticed and he was made a party in form LC-13. We find no good material to interfere with the concurrent findings of fact on the basis whereof pre-emption application could - 2 - have been allowed at all stages. In that view of the matter, this Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed. (Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ.) (Anjana Prakash, J.) AMIN
