Property partition done without knowledge of other parties


02-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
Fraud partition has been framed of the property owned by the plaintiff's late father by the widow daughter in law and kept it secret till 20 years to activate limitation law. This was done without the knowledge of the members of the family to activate limitation law. This has deprived the mother,son,and unmarried daughters of their fathers property. So called partition has been proved with material evidence but our lawyer says even if the partition is proved fraud due to limitation law it cannot be quashed legally. If it is that then where can one go for asking justice.

Ownership consists of innumerable number of claims, liberties, powers with regard to the thing owned. Ownership is of different kinds. There are absolute and limited, sole ownership, co-ownership, vested ownership, contingent ownership, corporeal, incorporeal. When a person owns a property in one time it is called sole ownership, but if the property is owned by more than one person then it is called joint ownership. By means of partition one can have co-ownership changed into sole ownership.

The expression co-owner is wide enough to include all kinds of ownership such as joint tenancy, Tenancy in common, Coparcenary, membership of undivided Hindu family, etc. The very fact of the reference to the property that the parties have certain shares, indicates that they are co-owners.
In Indian Law a co-owner is entitled to three essentials of ownership-
# Right to possession
# Right to enjoy
# Right to dispose

Therefore, if a co-owner is deprived of his property, he has a right to be put back in possession. Such a co-owner has an interest in every portion of the property and has a right irrespective of his quantity of share, to be in possession jointly with others. This is also called joint-ownership.
