Sanjay Verma vs Manik Roy And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the transfer of property during the pendency of a suit is governed by Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, which prohibits such transfers. The Court found that the High Court erred in allowing the impleadment of parties who purchased the property after the initiation of the suit without considering the implications of Section 52. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and upheld the trial court's decision to reject the application for impleadment, reinforcing the principle that parties cannot transfer property that is subject to litigation.
