Partition Act

The Partition Act is a law in India that deals with dividing jointly owned property among co-owners. When multiple people share ownership of property, and they can't agree on how to divide it, they can use this act to have a court determine the best way to partition the property. The court can divide it physically, such as splitting land, or order its sale and distribute the proceeds. The goal is to ensure a fair division that respects each owner's rights, helping resolve disputes where consensus isn't possible.
