The defendant's appeal in a pre-emption suit was dismissed by the first court but upheld on appeal. The transaction between husband and wife was considered a sale, not a hiba-bil-ewaz, making it pre-emptible. The transfer in lieu of an existing dower debt was deemed a sale under the Transfer of Property Act. The Agra Pre-emption Act defines a sale as per the Transfer of Property Act. The plaintiff was given two months to pay the pre-emption money; failure to do so would result in dismissal of the suit with costs.
