IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of Decision : 16.09.2010 COCP No.364 of 2010 (O&M) Jagdish ...Petitioner Versus Smt. Murti and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present : Mr. Ajay Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. J.P.Sharma, Advocate, for respondent Nos.1 and 2. Mr. N.K.Sanghi, Advocate, for respondent No.3. Mr. Rakesh Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.4. HEMANT GUPTA, J. (Oral) In a revision petition filed by the petitioner, this Court passed an order on 08.01.2010, whereby the plaintiff-respondent Nos.1 & 2 were directed to recite in the deed of alienation about the pendency of the suit/counter-claim. After the aforesaid order was passed, plaintiff- respondent Nos.1 & 2 have executed sale deed on 29.01.2010 in favour of respondent Nos.3 and 4, but without any recital regarding the pendency of the suit or counter-claim. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that since the sale has been effected in violation of the order passed by this Court, the respondents are liable to be punished for violating the orders passed by this Court. Learned counsel for respondent Nos.3 and 4 state that they are bona fide purchasers for value and consideration, therefore, there cannot be COCP No.364 of 2010 (O&M) any embargo regarding the recital in a sale deed about the pendency of the suit at this stage. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that though it is a case of violation of the orders passed by this Court, but the sale having been effected during the pendency of the suit in favour of respondent Nos.3 and 4, the same is subject to doctrine of lis pendence. Such sale shall not confer any better right than what their vendors i.e. plaintiffs-respondent No.1 and 2 had in the suit property. In view of the fact that though there is violation of the order passed by this Court, but such violation does not affect any of the rights of the petitioner, therefore, no further orders are called for in the present contempt petition. The same is disposed of accordingly. 16.09.2010 (HEMANT GUPTA) Vimal JUDGE 2
