The Supreme
Patna High Court CWJC No.491 of 2012 dt.30-04-2018
5/5
Court in paragraph 55 of the said judgment (Thomson Press (India)
Ltd. Vs. Nanak Builders and Investors Private Limited & Ors.) has
observed that any such heirs, legatee or transferee could not be turned
away when he applies for being added as a party to the suit. While
summing up, the Supreme Court held, in the facts and circumstances
of that case, that as the transferee had purchased the entire estate, he
was entitled to be added as party (defendant) to the suit. However, as
a result of his addition, Court held in that case, the appellant should
raise and pursue only such defences as are available and taken by the
original defendants and not other.
