Short answer. Yes. Article 1541 says that the provisions of the two preceding articles shall apply to judicial sales. So the rules that govern a shortfall or excess in the area of land sold, when the buyer gets less or more than the stated measurement, also cover sales conducted through the courts, including sheriff's execution sales.

The wrong-area rules reach judicial sales too
Article 1541 is short but consequential: the provisions of the two preceding articles shall apply to judicial sales. Those preceding provisions are the Civil Code's rules for when the land actually delivered does not match the area stated in the contract, when a buyer of real estate receives less, or more, than the measurement he bargained for. They set out when the buyer may demand the missing area or a proportional reduction in price, and when he may instead rescind. Article 1541 makes clear these protections are not limited to ordinary private sales; they extend to sales made through the courts as well.
What counts as a judicial sale
A judicial sale is one conducted under the authority of a court rather than by a private owner freely dealing, most familiarly the sheriff's sale that enforces a money judgment, and sales in the settlement of estates or in foreclosure carried out by court process. Buyers at these sales are often bargain-hunters at public auction, and it might be assumed they take strictly what is described, area discrepancies and all. Article 1541 corrects that assumption. The same standards about deficiency or excess in the area of the land apply, so a buyer at a judicial sale is not left wholly without the Code's measurement protections.
What the extension does not change
Extending the wrong-area rules to judicial sales does not turn such sales into ordinary contracts in every respect. Judicial and execution sales carry their own features: public auction, the judgment debtor's right of redemption in many cases, confirmation by the court, and the principle that a buyer generally takes only the right, title and interest the debtor had. Article 1541 imports the specific rules on land area; it does not erase these other characteristics or the special procedures that govern court sales. A buyer still deals with the peculiarities of an auction sale; he simply also gets the Code's answer when the area proves wrong.
Why this matters to a buyer at auction
For someone buying land at a sheriff's or other judicial sale, the practical value is real. If the parcel turns out materially smaller than the area on which the sale was based, Article 1541 signals that the Code's remedies for area shortfall are in principle available, rather than the buyer having to accept the loss simply because the sale was judicial. Because these sales come wrapped in strict timelines, redemption rights and confirmation requirements, a buyer who discovers a serious discrepancy should act promptly and check how the area rules interact with the specific court process, rather than assume either that he has no remedy or that the ordinary rules apply unchanged.
