Yes, courts in Ahmedabad routinely grant relief specifically preventing a party from creating third-party rights — such as selling, leasing, mortgaging, or otherwise encumbering disputed property — while litigation over that property is pending, and this is one of the most commonly sought and granted forms of interim protection in property disputes. The primary mechanism is a temporary injunction under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, specifically framed to restrain the opposite party from transferring, alienating, mortgaging, leasing, or creating any third-party interest in the suit property until the case is finally decided.

Courts assess such applications using the standard three-part test — prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury — and are often particularly receptive to this specific type of injunction because allowing third-party rights to be created mid-litigation risks significantly complicating the case, potentially requiring additional parties to be impleaded and creating innocent third parties whose interests must then be untangled from the original dispute. Even without a specific injunction, the doctrine of lis pendens under Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, provides baseline protection by ensuring any transfer made during pending litigation remains subject to the suit's outcome, but an active injunction offers more direct, preventive protection rather than relying solely on this after-the-fact doctrine.

Where there's a heightened risk that a party intends specifically to defeat an eventual decree through transfer, attachment before judgment under Order 38 Rule 5 CPC provides an even stronger layer of protection, effectively freezing the property against alienation. If a party violates an injunction against creating third-party rights once granted, the enforcement mechanism under Order 39 Rule 2A CPC applies, allowing for attachment of the violator's property or civil detention for wilful disobedience.
