2. During the pendenef of the’suit,}the 1″

Sale Deed dated o4.06,;993 ed the 2% defendant. An

application was filedflunder the prefiisions of Order

executed by the 1?’ defendant in favour of the 2″

V defendant: is “null and void. The amendment was

ThereefQefprtEe”2″d defendant sold the suit property

=.@3ecuted a registered Agreement of Sale dated

a”ad15_11.2006 in favour’ of defendant No.4″ in the

Dcircumstances, the plaintiff submitted an

application under the provisions of Order 1 Rule

10(2) r/w. Section 151 CPC to implead defendant /

f

Nos.3 and 4 and so also an application IKA. XVIII
under the provisions of Order VI Rule 1? CPC seeking

amendment to the plaint and.asking for a £a1:af5gf»

declaration that the Sale Deed dated 24_d5i2Q§5_and,V4

the Agreement of Sale dated 15.}: EGGS as null and
void and is not binding upon atheifplaintiffo*

Objections to these applications were filed [

3. The matter was_heatd hy the learned Judge
and he has rejected the application tor amendment
filed under’ Qrderl Vin Edie fil€1iéPCmiand¢ allowed ‘the
application riled to’ifiplead’respendent Nos.3 and 4
as defendant*hoefi§fiand;fi respectively in the suit.
Aggrieved by the erder or rejection of I.A, XVIIE,
the petitioner aag.£;iéd this petition.

‘ep4, E1: have heard the learned counsel for the

pe:i:i¢nagSi andf also respondent No.2. The other

Vi’ respendents though served are absent.

n’w5. N The triai Court has taken into

. consideration the provisions of Section 52 of the

~d Transfer of Property Act, 1882 in rejecting the

“application as the Sale Deed saidr to have been

executed. by defendant $0.2 in faveur of defendant

«L.

\/

No.3 and the registered Sale Agreement executed by

defendant No.3 in favour of defendant No.$ is during

the pendency of the suit and that .:h¢,Csgia_

transaction was subgect to the result ofpthe\suitQ i

As could be seen from the provisions of Section 52

of the said Act, which reads as under:

“Transfer of propertp pending suih
relating thereto 7 Duringfthe pendencfi
in any Court within
the limits of Indvia._exc–lAuVdi’ng State
of Jammuf and Kashmir vorhuefitablished
beyondfl such fiimyfii ‘gym the Central

Government’ of any hsuit or proceedings

which_is not collusive and in which any
right = to_hfifinofeahle property- is
directly Wands specifically in question,
“the gpropertpf cannot be transferred or
mfitfierwise déai£V with by any party to
f”the,suih or proceeding so as to affect
“CpheVrights of any other party thereto
‘under any decree or order which may be
made: therein, except under the
A’Wauthority of the Court and on such

V”terms as it may impose.”

6. The perusal of the provisions reveal that
from the date of presentation of the piaint under

the Code till the complete satisfaction or discharge.

of” the decree or order obtainedi in the suit, any
transfer made during the pendency* is not binding

upon the party and in case if the plaintiff succeed

in the suit in getting the specific perfermaneeiofe

the contract of sale executed hy_the–ig”‘defendant,u

the subsequent transaction executed ‘bye defendant

No.1 in favour of defenda.nt’.__No..’2x_oi’ »._{iouj.c1_°

not affect the interest of the_pZaintiff in the suit

property.

7. So, when underh the ‘prouisions of lis
pendens, the saiévtransfers are not binding upon the
plaintiff, the .réiie:”.¢£ seeking declaration that
the deeds are not hinding upon him are redundant and

there would be no end to the litigation in case if

then each of the occasion if the sale transaction is

executed by the parties in favour of a nonmparty,

sueh applications will have to be filed aii along

‘and there wiil be no end to the litigation. As in

2ViewVQf the provisions of Section 52 of the Transfer

.fofh§roperty Act, the transfer of the preperty is not

p binding upon the interest of the piaintiff, the

“question of seeking amendment of the plaint does not

arise for consideration. In the circumstances, I am

of the opinion, that the trial Court has taken a
just, decision j11 rejecting time application won the
ground. of non–a§plicable of ‘the princigles of, lis

pendens and 13 do not find any merit in this firit

petition. In the circumstances, the getition” gs’

dismissed. a””-

Subfiect to the observations mede shove ahfijss.

the suit is of the year 1395, the_trialKCou:t is”

directed to expedite disposal xof ‘the_ sfiit and
dispose of the same preseréhly within 6 {six} months

from the date ofrcommunicstioniof this Order.
