SARVINDER SINGH vs DALIP SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the respondents were necessary or proper parties to a suit concerning property ownership based on a registered Will dated May 26, 1952, executed by the appellant's mother. The Court held that the respondents, having purchased the property during the pendency of the suit, were indeed proper parties under Order 1, Rule 10 CPC, as they needed to defend the title of their predecessor in interest. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to implead the respondents, thereby upholding the principles of lis pendens under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act.
