2. I have considered the rival submissions and perused the materials available on record.

3. The case of the petitioners is that originally a suit was filed for partition in OS No.312/2005 for the subject properties. The petitioners herein purchased the subject property from the first defendant in the original suit in OS No.312/2005, which was decreed exparte on 09.10.2007. In the meanwhile, the exparte decree has been set aside and the suit has been restored. Now, the petitioners seek their objections to be considered by the authorities in the event other co-sharers registering the property.

4. At the outset, this Court is of the view that the petitioners' right will accrue only when the shares of his vendor have been finally settled. They can't step into the shoes of their vendor by giving a protest petition and till their protest petitions are considered one way or the other, they cannot prevent the other co-sharers to deal with their own properties as per law.

5. In such view of the matter, I do not find any merits in the writ petitions. It is relevant to note that any sale made during the pendency of the suit is always subject to the result of the suit.

6. Accordingly, the writ petitions are dismissed. No costs. 18.09.2024 RR TO
