If the property is transferred during pendency of the proceeding, it will be hit by doctrine of Lis pendens. In fact the subsequent transferree need not be added as a party. However, to be on the safer side it is better to add him so that he should not make complications in future.

Mr. Palnitkar is absolutely right.

I agree with Mr. Palnitkar.

if the property is transfeered to other person during the pendency of the suit it amounts to Lis pendis and it is necessary to implead the purcahser as defendant please see u/o 1 rule 10 of C.P.C.

During pending of suits between the parties neither Parties can transfer the property to the third party without the consent of the court, and such type of illegal Transfer is clearly hit by the provision of sec. 52 of the TP Act.And the remedy is that you can file Contempt Application in the Court against the party and also filed the application for addition of the Party(New Purchaser)in the suits for better results in the proceeding in your favour.
