Yes, and this can be a genuinely valuable remedy in Mumbai property disputes involving income-generating property, since rather than allowing a valuable asset to sit idle and generate no benefit for anyone while litigation proceeds, courts have the power to direct that disputed property be rented out under judicial supervision, with the resulting income preserved pending final resolution of the underlying dispute. This typically occurs through the appointment of a receiver under Order 40 Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, whose specific responsibilities can include managing the property, which in appropriate cases extends to renting it out and collecting the resulting rental income.

Where a court appoints a receiver with authority to let out disputed property, the receiver acts under the court's direct supervision, ensuring the rental arrangement is conducted transparently and at fair market value, rather than allowing either disputing party to unilaterally rent the property on potentially disadvantageous terms, or conversely, to prevent legitimate income generation from a property simply because ownership itself remains contested. This arrangement particularly benefits situations involving commercial property, rental-generating residential buildings, or agricultural land capable of yielding income, where allowing the asset to remain completely unutilized during potentially lengthy litigation would represent a genuine and unnecessary economic waste for whichever party ultimately prevails.

The rental income collected through this court-supervised arrangement is typically held by the receiver, or deposited with the court, pending final resolution of the dispute, at which point it gets distributed according to the court's ultimate determination of the parties' respective rights and shares in the property. This approach protects all parties' interests fairly — the eventual prevailing party receives their rightful share of the accumulated rental income, while the property itself continues generating economic value throughout the litigation period rather than sitting unused.

Parties seeking this remedy typically need to demonstrate to the court that renting out the property during litigation genuinely serves the interests of justice and asset preservation, that neither party can be trusted to unilaterally manage such rental arrangements fairly given the ongoing dispute, and that a receiver-managed rental arrangement represents a sensible, practical solution pending final resolution. Courts examine such applications on their specific merits, weighing the genuine economic benefit of continued utilization against any practical complications the rental arrangement might create for eventually implementing the final decree.
