The Supreme Court has held that Section 19(b) of the Specific Relief Act cannot prevail over the doctrine of lis pendens under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act once a suit is instituted, rendering subsequent transfers subject to the final decree.
The Supreme Court ruled that buyers who purchase property during pending litigation cannot file a separate suit to challenge a court auction sale. Such disputes must be raised only before the Executing Court under Section 47 CPC, and buyers remain bound by the decree under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act.
