Stay order and property sell?

Rather then selling the property in dispute & facing your property being attached or you in person may face civil imprisionment under Order 39 Rule 2A C.P.C, you should move application under Order 39 Rule 4 C.P.C for setting aside the order for injunction as there are change of circumstances which have  caused undue hardship to you due to unneccesary delay in the civil proceedings falsely initiated by the other party/respondent.

Mr. Ajit Singh,

If you sell the Property against which there is a Stay Order:  " You will be detained in the civil prison for a term not exceeding Three (3) Months, unless in the meantime the Court directs his release" as per Rule 2-A of Order 39 Civil procedure Code.

ashok kumar dwivedy advocate

very well said  Mr.Aejaz Ahamed

Mr.Aejaz Ahamed very well said and your are well informed, I am very glad to have as my friend

Yes, Md. Ahamed is very right. Really appreciating as it is a good work.

I think after the reply of MR. Aezaz Ahmad there is no need to say any more.

During the period of operation of the Stay order that means the Appellate Court might have stayed the opeartion of the Injunction order granted by the lower Trial Court . But as being a Lawyer we must co-opearte the orders of the honourable Courts either it may be the trial Court or the Appellate Court . Stay order may be passed only in appellate jurisdiction U/Order 41 ( Appeal from Decree) & Order 43 r.(r) Appeal from orders) . Hence in your case what you mean about the Stay order may be passed U/O 43.r.(r) of the CPC. .

                    Be that is it may , Hearing must be taken place in appellate Court till than please wait . But if you obtained Stay order against the Injunction order you may take the permission from Court to sell but U/S 52 of T.P.Act Principle of  Lis pendens may also be complied with . So please wait for the final hearing .

plz say the words of stay order to suggest you best although our friends guided you the best  

hi sir 

my land in sindhudurg (malwan )

so can i sell my that stay order land 

Apart from all the legal provision u can still transfer the property. if u tap down of cash then find a buyer and enter into a agreement to sale the property on a simple paper in back date...tell him to file a civil suit and enter into a compromise in the suit.

in that way the property will be sold and no criminal liability will com on u...
