    The doctrine of lis pendens under Section 52 of the

    Transfer of Property Act, 1882 provides that:
    A A transferee during pendency of a suit takes property with full rights as a bona fide purchaser Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The doctrine applies only to movable properties Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C During the pendency of a suit in which right to immovable property is directly in question, the property cannot be transferred so as to affect the rights of any party to the suit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Any transfer during pending litigation is void ab initio Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 52 of the TPA, 1882 embodies lis pendens "pending litigation." It bars transfer of immovable property during the pendency of a suit in such a way as to affect the rights of the other party. Crucially, the transfer is not void it is merely subservient to the outcome of the suit; the transferee takes the property bound by the eventual decree.
