    Solution

    The term literally means ‘litigation pending’ or ‘pending suit’ and is drawn from the concept based on the maxim “Pendente lite nihil innovature” which means that nothing new must be introduced while a litigation or suit is pending. As per this doctrine the Transfer of property is restricted when there is a litigation pending on the title or any rights that arise directly with respect to an immovable property.
