#Section 52

MPHC held lis pendens binds subsequent purchasers, affirming specific performance and ordering execution of sale deed in plaintiff’s favor despite bona fide purchase, confirming Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act overrides innocent buyer defenses.

Madhya Pradesh High Court reaffirms that a purchaser of property during pendency of a title suit cannot be impleaded as a party unless she applies for it herself. The court held that Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act binds all subsequent transferees, and any decree passed in the suit will automatically bind them, negating the need for their impleadment.
