Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the trial court's order to implead respondents 3 to 5 as parties to the suit was justified under Order 1, Rule 10 and Section 151 CPC, as the first defendant's sale of property during the pendency of an injunction order constituted a breach of court orders. The Court emphasized that parties cannot disregard judicial orders, and any transfer made in violation of such orders is void. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's decision.
