Yes, you can stop the sale of a disputed property in Delhi by obtaining a court order, and it is advisable to act quickly with the help of experienced property lawyers to protect your rights. When a property dispute is already pending before a court, any attempt by a co-owner to sell the property can be challenged, especially if it affects your share or the outcome of the case.

The most effective remedy in such situations is to file an application for a temporary injunction (stay order) under Order 39, Rules 1 and 2 of the Civil Procedure Code. Through this application, you can request the court to restrain the co-owner from selling, transferring, or creating third-party rights in the property until the dispute is finally decided. Courts generally grant such injunctions if you can establish three key elements: a prima facie case, meaning your claim appears legally valid; a balance of convenience in your favour; and the likelihood of irreparable loss if the property is sold.

If the court is satisfied that allowing the sale would complicate the dispute or cause injustice, it may pass a stay order preventing any transaction related to the property. In urgent cases, courts can also grant an ex parte injunction (without hearing the other side initially) to immediately stop the sale.

Additionally, even if a co-owner proceeds with the sale, it is usually only valid to the extent of their share, and such transactions remain subject to the outcome of the case. However, preventing the sale at the outset is always a better legal strategy to avoid complications.

To ensure timely and effective action, it is important to seek proper legal advice and move the appropriate application without delay.
