5. The brief averments in EA No.261 of 2005 in EP No.43 of 2002 in Arbitration Application No.66 of 1999, are as under :
The petitioner-3rd
The Court emphasized the importance of verifying the ownership of the property before making an attachment before judgment and upheld the rights of a third party purchaser under Order 38 Rule 10 of C....
(1) Alienation of property after attachment – Where attachment has been made, any private transfer or delivery of property attached or of any interest therein and any payment to judgment-debtor of an....
Possession at the time of attachment is critical for claims; ex-parte decrees obtained collusively are not binding on decree holders.
A transferee from a judgment debtor during pending execution proceedings has no right to enforce claims against a valid auction purchaser, as the transfer is void under sections of the CPC.
A party cannot assert ownership or set aside property attachments if the property was previously alienated during a court-ordered attachment, regardless of purported ignorance of such order.
The court held that a third-party mortgage claim post-property attachment cannot invalidate an execution sale, affirming the primacy of prior judicial orders over subsequent equitable interests.
The doctrine of lis pendens prevents subsequent purchasers from claiming rights over property already subject to a legal decree.
Transfers made during an injunction are void; claimants must prove bona fides as transferees to assert rights over attached property.
