Bibi Zubaida Khatoon vs Nabi Hassan Saheb & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to deny the petitioner's applications for joinder in two suits under Order 1 Rule 10, Order 22 Rule 10, and Order 6 Rule 17 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court emphasized that the petitioner, having purchased the property during the pendency of the suit without court permission as required by Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, could not claim a right to be impleaded. The Court affirmed that the trial court's refusal was justified due to the long-standing nature of the suit, which had been pending since 1983.
