ights of co
sharer to pre empt sale deed in favour of stranger stands repealed by the dint of Haryana Pre emption Amendment Act No. 10 of 1995, whereby the State of Haryana amended Punjab Pre emption Act, 1913. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Atam Parkash v. State of Haryana (1986) 2 SCC 249 deprecated the right of pre emption based on consanguinity as 'feudal', 'piratical', 'tribal', 'weak', 'easily defeated' and declared the same to be ultra vires of the Constitution of India. The question with respect to applicability of Haryana Pre emption Amendment Act No.10 of 1995 came up for consideration before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Shyam Sunder and others v. Ram Kumar and another, (2001) 8 SCC 24, wherein the Five Judges Bench held as under:
"xxxx xxxx xxxx
44. From the aforesaid decisions, the legal principle that emerges is that the function of a declaratory or explanatory Act is to supply an obvious omission or to clear up doubts as to meaning of the previous Act and such an Act comes into effect from the date of passing of the previous Act. Learned counsel for the appellants strongly relied upon a decision of a two Judge Bench of this Court in Mithilesh Kumari v. Prem Behari Khare [(1989) 2 SCC 95] in support of his argument. In the said decision, it was
held by this Court that the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988 being a declaratory Act, the provisions of Section 4 of the Act have retroactive operation. The reliance on this decision by the appellants' counsel is totally misplaced as this decision was overruled in R. Rajagopal Reddy v. Padmini Chandrasekharan [(1995) 2 SCC 630] wherein it was held that the Act was not passed to clear any doubt that existed as to the common law or the meaning of effect of any statute and it was, therefore, not a declaratory Act.
45. We have already quoted substituted Section 15 of the amending Act but do not find that the amending Act either expressly or by necessary implication intended to supply an omission or to clear up a doubt as to the meaning of the previous Section 15 of the parent Act. The previous Section 15 of the parent Act was precise, plain and simple. There was no ambiguity in it. The meaning of the words used in Section 15 of the parent Act was never in doubt and there was no omission in its phraseology which was required to be supplied by the amending Act. Moreover, the amending Act either expressly or by implication was not intended to be retroactive and for that reason we hold that amending Act 10 of 1995 is not a declaratory Act and, therefore, it has no retrospective operation.
46. For the aforestated reasons, we approve the view of law taken in Didar Singh v. Ishar Singh [(1995) 1 Scale 1 : (2001) 8 SCC at p. 52, below] and further hold that the decision in the case of Ramjilal v. Ghisa Ram [(1996) 7 SCC 507 : JT (1996) 2 SC 649 (2)] does not lay down the correct view of law.
47. The result of the aforesaid discussion is that the amending Act being prospective in operation does not affect the rights of the parties to the litigation on the date of adjudication of the pre
emption suit and the appellate court is not required to take into account or give effect to the substituted Section 15 introduced by the amending Act.
