Court can not restrain the bank or financial institution to recover their dues from the mortgage property.
Bank may take legal action under SARFAESI ACT and civil court can not interfere with the proceedings.

A wife has the right to reside in the house of her husband during the subsistence of marriage. If the property is sold by the husband her right to residence will be defeated. So the court can order a stay on the sale of property.
Hi, DV court has no right stop the sale of the mortgaged property.

2. There is no need for any additional Judgement in this regard.
Let your lawyer find them. We do not provide legal literature here.

Under the Act, a woman can claim right of residence or the rent amount from her husband. The right of residence, which a wife undoubtedly has, does not mean the right to reside in a particular property. It may, of course, mean the right to reside in a commensurate property. But it can certainly not translate into a right to reside in a particular property. It is only in that property in which the husband has a right, title or interest that the wife can claim residence and that too, if no commensurate alternative is provided by the husband.
In your case the magistrate court which conducts trial of DV case has no jurisdictions to pass a stay order against the sale of property on your name for the reasons that she is seeking stay order as she has filed for claim which has not been awarded. The court will dismiss the petition.
Can DV Court Stop sale of Defaulted Mortgage Property -
No, the magistrate court has no power or jurisdiction on it, it is civil matter, moreover there is no order passed on interim maintenance sought by her.
