Delhi High Court Stays Auction of Ancestral Home Over Maintenance Dues Citing Section 60(1)(ccc) CPC

The Delhi High Court stayed the auction of a man's ancestral property over unpaid maintenance, citing protection under Section 60(1)(ccc) of the CPC.

The petitioner argued that the property was his sole dwelling, shielding it from attachment or sale in execution of a decree.

The Court noted that the authenticity of a 2017 family settlement deed, which transferred ownership shares, was still under dispute. It held that allowing the sale before resolving this issue could lead to irreparable harm. The Court stayed the auction until August 28, stressing the need for proper adjudication.
