No. If the court has restrained defendants from alienating the suit property or creating third-party rights, they generally cannot transfer it—even among themselves. Such a transfer can still change ownership or possession and breach the order. Any such act may be set aside and could attract contempt, unless the court’s prior permission is obtained.

During the subsistence of an injunction order, any such transfer as proposed in your query will be considered as contempt of court order and the violater can be prosecuted under criminal laws.

Request judge to pass order as it is pending for year and defendants have not filed any reply for a year 

 

judge must be wanting to give time to defendants to file reply to avoid defendants going in appeal against his order of no WS

The judge may be basically thinking: “Should I be strict about delay, or give one last chance?” That balancing act often causes delay. Politely nudge and ask for a fixed date for arguments.

The judge has already relied on the second written statement while deciding the TI. So if the court now rejects that WS or refuses to set aside the No-WS order, it would contradict its own earlier order. Courts generally avoid putting themselves in that position. If you want movement, you’ll have to push and ask for a specific hearing on these applications or request the court to decide them as preliminary issues. Otherwise, they may remain pending till final arguments.
