Sir, I had received DM notice through Tehsildar for attaching my property under sarfesi act. Consequently, I filed a case in DRT, subsequently, the Tehsildar Stayed the possession proceedings till the finalisation of case in DRT.
The lawyer of creditor, says that Tehsildar, cannot grant a stay as it is not under his jurisdiction.
Please clarify

The tehsildar has been authorised by the DM under the provisions of law for this purpose hence the stay order imposed by the Tehsildar on behalf of DM may be considered as legally valid and binding.
