When co-sharers refuse to amicably divide ancestral or joint property, any co-owner can institute a <strong>Partition Suit (Batwara Mokoddama) under the Partition Act 1893 and Civil Procedure Code</strong> to carve out their distinct Saham (share) through court intervention.

Every co-sharer possessing joint unpartitioned title is entitled as of right to seek physical separation of their legal share.

The court first adjudicates the exact fractional ownership of each party in a preliminary decree before proceeding to physical partition.

An Advocate Commissioner visits the suit land, prepares a detailed sketch map (Chitha), and submits a Saham report allocating specific portions to each heir.

If in joint possession, fixed court fee applies. If completely dispossessed, ad-valorem court fees and recovery prayers must be included.
