Muhammad Sabir Vs The State
PLJ 2026 SC 400
The subsequent transferees are required to discharge a heavy burden to establish that they are bona fide purchasers for value without notice of the prior agreement, litigation and the rights of the earlier vendee, in terms of section 27(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1877. The provision provides that specific performance of a contract may be enforced against any person claiming under a party thereto, except a transferee for value who has paid his money in good faith an without notice of the original contract.
It is by now well-settled that the plea of a bona fide purchaser under section 27(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1877, cannot be accepted on mere assertion, but must be established through cogent evidence and the attending circumstances of the transaction. The subsequent vendee is required to demonstrate that he acted in good faith and with due care, having undertaken such inquiry into the title of the vendor as would be expected of a prudent purchaser. Where the surrounding circumstances disclose elements of haste, lack of inquiry or such facts as would reasonably put a purchaser on notice of a prior claim, the protection of the said provision is not attracted. In such a situation, the subsequent transferee cannot claim the status of a bona fide purchaser, and the prior agreement remains enforceable against him.

PLJ 2026 SC 406
Khula should not ordinarily be granted without the wife’s consent or clear election where she had sued on cruelty and valuable financial rights are implicated. However, where cruelty is not proved and marital life has manifestly collapsed, the Court must afford the wife an opportunity to elect whether to pursue dismissal of her claim or accept dissolution by khula upon lawful terms, rather than compelling restoration of a relationship that has ceased to exist in substance.

Nadeem Akhtar (deceased) through LRs. & Others Versus Manzoor Ahmad
PLJ 2026 SC 422
It is by now a settled principle that locus standi is not to be determined on the basis of a narrow or technical formula but with reference to whether the impugned action has adversely affected the legal rights, lawful interests or legitimate expectations of the person invoking the constitutional jurisdiction of the Court. Where an administrative or quasi-judicial order operates to divest a person of an accrued statutory right or otherwise prejudicially affects his civil consequences, such person cannot be denied access to judicial review merely because he is not the direct beneficiary or addressee of the impugned order. Constitutional jurisdiction exists to prevent unlawful exercise of statutory power and to protect persons whose legal rights stand infringed thereby.
