JUSTICE DEEPAK GUPTA Present:- Mr. Namit Khurana, Advocate for the peoner. **** DEEPAK GUPTA, J. (ORAL) Leela Devi being one of the co-sharer had been impleaded as defendant No.3 in a suit for paron filed in July, 2019. She choose not to contest the suit and was proceeded ex parte in March, 2000. During pendency of the suit, she transferred her share to her grandson Rahul on 22.12.2023 and then from said Rahul, the peoner herein purchased the property on 08.07.2024, again during pendency of the suit. The preliminary decree was ulmately passed on 31.07.2024 and now in the applicaon for passing of the final decree, the peoner moved an applicaon to be impleaded as a party, which has been rejected by trial Court vide order dated 02.02.2026 (Annexure P-4), which is now assailed before this Court. A7er hearing learned counsel for the peoner, this Court does not find illegality in the impugned order considering the fact that NEETIKA TUTEJA 2026.04.18 12:20 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CR-3266-2026 -2- peoner had purchased the property from Rahul during pendency of suit, who had also acquired the rights during pendency of the suit. However the peoner being a transfree pendente lite, has stepped into the shoes of Leela Devi (defendant No.3) and therefore, he will be entled to protect his rights only to that extent to which Leela Devi was entled and not beyond that. It is further made clear that peoner will not be allowed to take proceedings back. Disposed of.
