Purchasers pendente lite cannot obstruct enforcement of the decree

The appellants derived their claimed interests through later purchasers. Their title traced back to transfers made during pending litigation. The decree holder sought enforcement of the specific-performance decree. The transferees’ interests were subject to the outcome of the suit. They could not claim a better position than the transferor had. The Court considered whether their objections could resist execution. The doctrine of lis pendens governed the effect of the transfers. The decree holder’s adjudicated rights were protected. Alka Shrirang Chavan & Anr. v. Hemchandra Rajaram Bhonsale & Ors. | 2026 INSC 52
