Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
A partition suit for ancestral property can be filed before the civil court in Ajmer having jurisdiction over the property. The suit is governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, as amended, and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The Rajasthan High Court has held that all coparceners must be made parties to the partition suit, and any omission can render the decree defective. Rajasthan Rent Control Act 2001 may require pre-litigation mediation or prescribe stamp duty for partition deeds specific to Rajasthan. A preliminary decree determines the shares of each coparcener, and a final decree partitions the property by metes and bounds. The court may appoint a commissioner to survey and divide the property. File the plaint with revenue records, mutation entries, family tree, and property documents.
