That it is pertinent to state here that any application for partition of property or Declaration Of title is filed at the place where property is situated because civil court has territorial jurisdiction with regards to property and therefore it cannot be filed in Mumbai where you are staying

No it can’t be done. Whenever partition suit is filed it must be filed within the jurisdiction where the property is situated because in these type of cases territorial jurisdiction is very important. It can’t be filed at the place of your choice
