Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' application to be impleaded in a partition suit, citing Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, which prohibits the transfer of property pending litigation. The Court ruled that the appellants, as bonafide purchasers, could not claim rights greater than those of their vendors, as their rights were subject to the doctrine of Lis Pendens. Consequently, the High Court's decision to deny their impleadment was affirmed.
