You can prevent it by unchecking the box.

P.S.:
And deactivate the locked layer on the layer panel. Then there will be never duplication.

this is not due to auto select but if we have locked the layer it should hold properties

Even if this check is off, if the locked layer is active, it will be duplicated on the layer panel. After locking, explicitly deactivate the layer. So duplication cannot occur. Forget about the recognition and try to actually operate it.
