Division of agricultural land among family members and sell


08-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
There is an ancestral agricultural land near Nagpur, Maharashtra inherited by my mother from her father. My mother's name is mentioned in satbaara (7/12 which is an extract from the land register maintained by the revenue department of the government of Maharashtra). As of today, my uncle (mother's brother) has given this land on rent for farming. My mother wants to divide the land in equal parts among all her siblings and want to sell her share. What is the legal process for making this division? What are legal options my mother has if my uncle refuses to cooperate in this division process?

A deed of partition has to be drawn up and then it should get it registered. you can also file a partition suit in the court of law and ask for partition in the agricultural land. once the partition is done you may sell the property.
