The matter is scheduled to be heard on April 7, when the court is expected to give further directions.
In its decision, the court noted that there was a need to maintain the current situation to avoid actions that could complicate the case.
By freezing any dealings involving the properties, the court aims to ensure that justice is served fairly once all sides are heard.
Tuju had moved to court seeking protection, arguing that the intended auction could cause him serious loss.
He maintained that the process should not go on before the court has fully reviewed the issues raised in his case.
His legal team told the court that allowing the auction to proceed would make it difficult to reverse the situation later.
On the other side, those seeking to auction the properties are expected to present their arguments during the hearing.
They are likely to defend their actions and explain why they believe the process should be allowed to continue.
The court will then weigh both sides before making a final decision.
Legal experts say such orders are common in cases involving property disputes.
They explain that courts often step in to stop transactions temporarily to prevent irreversible outcomes, especially when ownership or financial obligations are being contested.
For Tuju, the ruling offers breathing space as he prepares for the next phase of the case.
It allows him time to present his arguments without the immediate threat of losing his properties.
However, the outcome of the case will depend on what the court decides after hearing all the evidence.
The case has attracted public attention due to Tuju’s profile as a former senior government official.
It also highlights the importance of the courts in resolving disputes and ensuring that all parties are treated fairly.
