1. What is the relief prayed in the suit? The property can be sold if there is no injunction operative against the sale by the civil court. Be that as it may, without perusal of the plaint and the court decree/order it is not possible to state anything with exactitude.

2. Consult a lawyer with a copy of the suit and the decree/order.

Where it appears to the Court to be just and convenient, the Court may by order-

(a) Appoint a receiver of any property, whether before or after decree;

(b) Remove any person from the possession or custody of the property;

(c) Commit the same to the possession, custody or management of the receiver; and

d) confer upon the receiver all such powers, as to bringing and defending suits and for the realization, management, protection, preservation and improvement of the property, the collection of the rents and profits thereof, the application and disposal of such rents and profits, and the execution of documents as the owner himself has, or such of those powers as the Court thinks fit.

Thus if the property has been handed possession ton the receiver, then it cannot be sold at his will and wish by anyone.

Is this a pagdi system property or own property?

How the other person derive any right to sell the property especially when their is a dispute pending on this?

The matter between the successors for sharing the disputed property pending before court has not been disposed hence any action done in a haste may draw a flak or adverse impact including contempt of court, hence be careful about it.
