Provision of law provides that the period of limitation for a suit to enforce a right of pre-emption under this Act shall be four months from the date of the registration of the sale deed and section 31 of the Act

Plain reading of the above provision of law provides that the period of limitation for a suit to enforce a right of pre-emption under this Act shall be four months from the date of the registration of the sale deed and section 31 of the Act will not come in the way, because presumption of truth is attached to the act of the Registrar until and unless the same is proved otherwise and where a case is covered by any specific earlier clause i.e. (a), (b) & (c) of section 30 of the Act, clause (d) cannot be resorted to. In this regard reliance is placed on Qasim Ali v. Rehmatullah (2000 SCMR 1926), Maulana Nur-Ul-Haq v. Ibrahim Khalil (2000 SCMR 1305) and Mst. Kausar Parveen v. Muhammad Iqbal (PLD 2012 Supreme Court 760).
