suit for cancellation of transaction whether on the ground of being void or voidable should have been filed within a period of three years from the date of the knowledge

Third party auction purchasers's interest in the auctioned property continues to be protected notwithstanding that the underlying decree is subsequently set aside or otherwise.

A stranger auction purchaser does not derive his title from either the decree-holder or the judgment-debtor and therefore restitution may not be granted against him

stranger auction-purchaser is protected _ The result is that the purchaser's title relates back to the date of sale and not the confirmation of sale. - once the sale is confirmed the judgmentdebtor is not entitled to get back the property even if he succeeds thereafter.
