Can i sell disputed property if their is no stay from court?


02-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
I have a land and the court case is going on since 2009, the property is in my name and i have the possession of the property. There is no stay order from the court. I don't know when the case will end but surely it will go till supreme court. The case is bogus, but my opponent is suing me in court again and again If some buyers are taking my property along with the case then can I sell it? Can I sell it or not? if I can sell the property and write in agreement that I won't be responsible for the court cases in the future? Then is it legal to sell the property like that or not?

if there is no stay you can definitely sell the property. but make it sure to confirm that there is no stay. the proper document is sale deed not agreement. you must disclose all facts in the document. till the date of sale deed all responsibilities will be yours and after sale deed it will pass on the buyer.
