Yogesh Goyanka vs Govind

The Supreme Court held that the registered sale deed (RSD) executed by Respondent No. 21 in favor of the Appellant was rendered a nullity under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 due to the doctrine of lis pendens, as the Appellant was aware of the pending litigation at the time of purchase. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the Appellant's impleadment application under Article 227 of the Constitution, emphasizing that bona fide purchasers cannot claim protection when they are cognizant of ongoing legal disputes. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's ruling.
