BIBI ZUBAIDA KHATOON vs NABI HASSAN SAHEB

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision not to interfere with the trial court's rejection of the petitioner's applications for joinder and amendment 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 joined as a party. The ruling reinforces the principle that a transferee pendente lite lacks the right to intervene in ongoing litigation without prior court approval.
