THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.V.L.N.CHAKRAVARTHI
CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.3585 OF 2015
O R D E R:
Heard both counsels.
2. This revision-petition is filed by the unsuccessful third-party,
who filed an application under Order I Rule 10 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, 1908 (for brevity ‘CPC’) claiming that he purchased the
property on 28.08.2014 from the defendant No.7 in the suit, which
was filed for ‘Partition’. The suit was filed in the year 2005.
3. The Trial Court ‘Dismissed’ the application vide I.A.No.119 of
2015 in O.S.No.8 of 2005 on 03.07.2015, observing that any alienation
made during the pendency of the suit is hit by Section 52 of the
Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and that the petitioner has no
independent right in the suit property and further, his vendor is
already on record and therefore, the petitioner is not a necessary party
to the suit.
3. The point that arises for consideration is:-
“Whether the Trial Court committed any
irregularity in the Order, dated 03.07.2015 passed in
I.A.No.119 of 2015 in O.S.No.8 of 2005?
2023:APHC:9933
Page 6 of 8
4. P O I N T:-
The facts and circumstances would establish that the revisionpetitioner purchased the property covered by the suit filed for
‘Partition’ from one of the defendants in the suit on 28.08.2014,
pending the suit. The effect of the doctrine of lis pendens as embodied
in Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 is not to annul the
transfer, but only to render it subservient to the rights of the parties
thereto under the decree or order which may be made in that suit. The
fact of said doctrine is to make the decree passed in the suit binding
on the transferee if, they happened to be third-party even if they are
not parties to the suit.
5. In T. Bhup Narain Singh v. Nazvab Singh1, the Hon’ble Apex
court held as under:
“The words "so as to affect the rights of any other party
thereto under any decree or order which may be made
therein" make it quite clear that the transfer is good except to
the extent that it might conflict with rights decreed under the
decree or order.”
6. In Prabhakar v. Antonia2, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held as
under:
1 AIR 1957 Pat 729 (731).
2023:APHC:9933
Page 7 of 8
“A transfer or a dealing by a party to a suit during the
pendency of the suit or proceeding is not, ipso facto void. It
only cannot affect the rights of any other party to the suit
under any decree or order that may be made in the suit or
proceeding.”
7. While considering the true import and scope of Section 52 of the
Transfer of Property Act, 1882 the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jaynram
Mudaliar v. Ayyaswami3, observed:
"It is evident that the doctrine as stated in Section 52, applies
not merely to actual transfers of right which are subjectmatter of litigation but to other dealings with it "by any party
to the suit or proceeding, so as to affect the right of any other
party thereto".
8. It may be stated that the rule/principle enacted in this section is
in a sense an extension of the rule of res judicata and makes the
adjudication in the suit binding on alienees from parties during the
pendency of the suit, just as much as the doctrine of res judicata
makes the adjudicating binding, not only on the parties themselves
but also on alienees from them after the decree. It affects a purchaser
2 AIR 1971 Goa 42 (43).
3 AIR 1973 SC 569 (581).
2023:APHC:9933
Page 8 of 8
pendente lite, not because it amounts to notice, but because the law
does not allow a litigant party to give to others, pending the litigation
rights, to the property in dispute, to prejudice the opposite party.
9. The learned counsel for the respondent would submit that the
revision-petitioner was examined as a witness in the suit during the
trial.
10. Considering the above facts and law, there are no grounds to
interfere with the Order of the Trial Court as there is no material
irregularity was committed by the Trial Court while dismissing the
application filed by the revision-petitioner under Order I Rule 10 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. In that view of the matter, the revisionpetition is liable to be dismissed.
11. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is ‘Dismissed’. There shall
be no order as to costs.
As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall
stand closed.
