Hi 

1) The High Court had initially granted Interim Stay in passing of final decree and probably because of non filing of counter/non appearance of other side lawyer, the interim stay has been made absolute till the disposal of the case by the High Court. 

2) In your case, the high court has granted stay in all of the proceedings in lower court till the disposal of appeal pending in High Court. 

3) So technically the litigation proceedings are stayed till the high court decides the appeal on merits.

4)Doctrine of Lis Pendens will prohibit parties(including yourself) to litigation from selling the suit scheduled property.  The principle embodying the said doctrine is that the subject matter of a suit should not be transferred to a third party during the pendency of the suit. In case of transfer of such immovable property, the transferee(new buyer) becomes bound by the result of the suit.

5) Lis Pendens is captured under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (the “Act”). The Section essentially prohibits alienation of immovable property when a dispute relating to the same is pending in a competent court of law.

 

Hope this information is useful.

Yes this Order mean that the stay would be active till disposal of the petition, but this doesn't give you liberty to sale,as only stay is made absolute the main prayer is yet to  be decided.  The previous stay granted was upto next date only now the matter shall be taken up for final hearing that is ex parte since one party refused notice and the stay shall operate.

What was the order of the special judge against which the stay has been granted. In any view of the matter of you sell the property then the same will be subject to the outcome of the writ petition and the new seller will have to fight the case and will step into your shoes.

The court has passed an order to stay the proceedings on final decree and the same has been made absolute which will remain in force till the disposal of the main suit.

 

When the property is under dispute you may not be able to sell the property.

The interim stay order passed by the high court has been made absolute in the subsequent order owing to the refusal to receive the notice by the respondent.

Thus the passing of the final decree in the lower court case has been stayed by the high court however other proceedings may continue to go.

You cannot sell the property which is under litigation without the permission of the court concerned.

 

You may be in dire need of money and your case is genuine but you cannot go against the law or court order.

Sir you can file an early hearing application for quick disposal matter citing your oldage and difficulty giving property at less price is not good idea. Further even if the purchaser says that he won't take any legal action if looses the land or sign the order then also it cannot be seen as compelete protection for you.

1. There was initially interim stay granted which was then made absolute i.e it will stay in operation during the pendency of the matter in the High Court.

2. Unless it is known what is the nature of the suit filed before the trial court no opinion can be formulated.
