The rule unanimously prescribes that the rights of the party to the suit,

 Reference can be made to the rule given in “Muhammad Ashraf Butt and other v. Muhammad Asif Bhatti and others” (PLD 2011 SC 905) where the August Supreme Court, while interpreting the effect of the rule of lis pendens, observed that:

“…The rule unanimously prescribes that the rights of the party to the suit, who ultimately succeed in the matter are not affected in any manner whatsoever on account of the alienation and the transferee of the property shall acquire the title to the property subject to the final outcome of the lis. Thus the tranferree of the suit property, even the purchaser for value, without notice of the pendency of suit, who in ordinary judicial parlance is known as a bona fide purchaser in view of the rule/doctrine of lis pendens shall be bound by the result of the suit stricto sensu in all respects, as his transferor would be bound. The transferee therefore does not acquire any legal title free from the clog of his unsuccessful transferor, in whose shoes he steps in for all intents and purposes and he has to swim and sink with his predecessor in interest…”
