|Himachal Pradesh High Court
CPC Order 22 Rule 10 | Subsequent Sale of Property Does Not Vitiate Appeal Maintainability; Transferee May Continue Litigation : HP HC
The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that a property sale after the filing of a suit does not extinguish the right to pursue an appeal, as the transferee steps into the shoes of the original party under CPC Order 22 Rule 10. This preserves judicial efficiency and protects the interests of bona fide purchasers who inherit litigation rights, reinforcing that the lis follows the interest, not the original litigant.
