• Process to sell property through court

Myself and other party have a partition suit in Delhi High court. Court had asked us to find a buyer mutually and had sent us to mediation. We have found a buyer mutually agreeable to other party also. I want to know the step-by-step process to go through sale process through court as we do not have trust of other party that they will co-operate with us during sale deed & registry. To begin with :

1. All parties sign agreement to sell with buyer.
2. Buyer provides a DD in favor of Registrar of DHC with token advance.
3. Buyer is given time to deposit remaining amount to court in X days. 
4. When does registry & sale deed happen? When is keys and possession handed over to buyer through court process? 
5. How does receiver process work ? 

PLEASE SHARE COMPLETE PROCESS.

You are right about the process. There is no fixed procedure which differs from case to case.

I am sure you must have an advocate. Consult with him on every aspect. He will guide you.

The execution of registered sale deed can happen when the entire sale consideration amount is paid by the buyer.

The other party is in USA. She is US citizen. Can her husband travel to India and execute any sale deeds on her behalf using POA even though he is US citizen with PIO card?

Yes the POA holder/agent , if the power deed is registered if executed in India, orif the same is executed in foreign country, the same should be notarised in that country and to be registered before the registrar where the property situates.

1. The DD cannot be drawn in favour of Registrar of DHC. It can only be in favour of the sellers but it may be deposited with the Registrar of HC for disbursement to the sellers.

2. Since the other party is a US citizen currently residing in US she can execute a POA in favour of any of her blood relatives to initiate the process of sale of the property.

3. Sale deed will have to be registered within the time frame mentioned in the agreement, or such time as the court may direct.

4. Possession has to be handed over when the sale deed is registered.
