Punjab Pre-emption Act | Tenant Status Must Be Proven on Date of Sale via Independent Evidence, Not Post-Litigation Revenue Records : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a pre-emption claim under the Punjab Pre-emption Act, 1913, requires independent proof of tenancy on the date of sale. Post-litigation alterations to revenue records cannot substitute for contemporaneous evidence, setting a strict standard for tenant-right claims in property disputes.
