Joint family ya co-owned property me “sabka hai” waali feeling shuru me acchi lagti hai, par time ke sath disputes almost guaranteed hote hain. Koi keh raha hota hai “main zyada contribute kiya”, koi keh raha hai “main yahan rehta hoon”, koi keh raha hai “flat mere naam transfer karo”. Jab mutual settlement na ho, to partition suit ka option bachta hai.
Partition suit me court sab co-owners ko party banati hai, shares identify karwati hai, aur ultimately property ko either share-wise divide karti hai ya sale karke paisa baantne ka order de sakti hai. Complex cases me court commissioner appoint hota hai jo site visit karke practical map banata hai.
Emotional angle strong hota hai, kyunki yeh mostly parental ya ancestral properties hoti hain. Lekin legal view simple rehta hai – jiska jitna undivided share banta hai, usko utna mile.
Partition se pehle internal family settlement through writing, mediation, ya buyout always better hota hai. Court process long, public, aur kabhi-kabhi irreversible hota hai.
