If there is no stay order in operation qua the alienation of the property then you can sale your undivided share as per your desire without obtaining the consent of other shareholders. You shall be replaced by subsequent buyer in the partition proceeding.

1. you can sell first floor separately
2. You have to necessarily contest the case and if not, they will get decree for partition and separate possession
