GAJARABA BHIKHUBHA VADHER ORS. vs SUMARA UMAR AMAD (D) THR LEGAL HEIRS .

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of locus standi in the context of third-party purchasers challenging a partition suit. The Court held that the appellants, being purchasers of the property in question, lacked the legal standing to contest the judgments of the lower courts as they were not parties to the original suit or the subsequent appeals. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the appellants had no right to challenge the decree, thereby upholding the principle that only parties to a suit can appeal against its judgment.
