Depends on the kind of injunction sought for. If the injunction sought is of personal nature i.e one requiring personal obedience, the subsequent purchaser can not be impleaded unless the cause of action continues against him as well. The question is whether the cause of action survives against the subsequent purchaser? If yes, he can be impleaded.
