1. The plaintiffs are in second appeal aggrieved against the judgment and decree passed by the courts below whereby their suit for possession by way of pre-emption was dismissed.

2. One Sumer Singh sold 12 Bighas 14.3/4 biswas of land to Dharam Singh, vendee in R.S.A. No. 2972 of 1979, vide registered sale deed dated 24.3.1974. Similarly, another portion of land measuring 12 Bighas 14.3/4 Biswas of land was sold to Arjun Singh on 24.3.1974 i.e. Subject matter of challenge in R.S.A. No. 2971 of 1979. The-plaintiffs have sought to pre-empt the sales made on 24.3.1974 in favour of Dharam Singh and Arjun Singh on the ground that the plaintiffs are co-sharers in the joint Khata and, thus, have a superior right over the vendee who is a stranger.

3. Both the suits were consolidated and were dismissed. Both the Courts have decided the question of plaintiff being a co-sharer in the context whether the sale is of a share in a the joint Khata or of specific Khasra number.
