๐Ÿ“ข Short Answer: Technically, you can sell it — but it’s risky business! ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿšง
When a property is involved in a pending court case (lis pendens), selling it might drag the buyer into your legal mess. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Courts often invalidate such sales later! ๐Ÿงจ

๐Ÿ“š Legal Explanation:
✅ Section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 governs this situation under the doctrine of Lis Pendens.
✅ It means "during litigation, nothing should be changed" about the disputed property. ๐Ÿ›‘
✅ A sale made during a dispute may not offer clear, uncontested ownership to the buyer.

๐Ÿ› ️ Key Points You Must Know:

⚖️ 1. Validity of Sale:

  • Sale is not automatically illegal, but buyer’s rights remain subject to the final court decision. ๐Ÿงพ

๐Ÿงจ 2. Risk to Buyer:

  • Buyer could lose the property if the court rules against the seller.

๐Ÿ“‘ 3. Due Diligence:

  • Buyers usually stay away from disputed properties. Sellers might get a much lower price! ๐Ÿท️

๐Ÿ’ฌ 4. Court Permission:

  • Safer to take court’s permission before selling. Adds credibility and minimizes future troubles.
