If the restraint order is not to disturb the possession of tenant then it does not cause embargo in selling the property but in other case it will be governed by the principle of Lis Pendis.. The new owner should give a written intimation regarding the purchasing of the property. The new owner may file eviction petition to evict the tenant.
