what is the procedure for cancellation of partition deed ?
25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
The procedure for cancelling a registered partition deed is as follows:
-
Mutual Agreement: If all parties to the partition deed are willing to cancel the deed, they can execute a cancellation deed. The cancellation deed should be executed on a stamp paper of adequate value and should be registered with the Sub-Registrar in whose jurisdiction the original
partition deed was registered.
� -
Court Order: If one of the parties to the partition deed is unwilling to cancel the deed, then the other party can approach a civil court for cancellation of the deed. The party seeking cancellation of the deed should file a suit for cancellation of the partition deed and must prove that there are sufficient grounds for the cancellation of the deed. The court will hear both parties and pass an order accordingly. Partition of property can be challenged in India on the following grounds:
-� Fraud: If a partition was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation, it can be challenged in court. For example, if one of the parties was induced to sign the partition deed based on false information, the partition can be challenged.
�- Coercion: If a partition was obtained through coercion or undue influence, it can be challenged in court. For example, if one of the parties was threatened or forced to sign the partition deed, the partition can be challenged.
�- Undue influence: If a partition was obtained through undue influence, it can be challenged in court. Undue influence refers to a situation where one party has a dominant position over the other party and uses that position to influence the other party's decision-making.
�- Mistake: If a partition was made based on a mistake of fact or law, it can be challenged in court. For example, if the parties were mistaken about the ownership of a property and based their partition on that mistake, the partition can be challenged.
�- Non-compliance with legal formalities: If a partition was not executed in compliance with the legal formalities, it can be challenged in court. For example, if the partition deed was not executed on a stamp paper of adequate value or was not registered with the appropriate authority, the partition can be challenged.
� -
Notice to Concerned Parties: If the court orders the cancellation of the partition deed, then notice of the cancellation should be given to all the parties concerned, including the Sub-Registrar in whose jurisdiction the original partition deed was registered.
� -
Cancellation Endorsement: Upon receipt of the notice of cancellation, the Sub-Registrar will make an endorsement on the original partition deed that the deed has been cancelled. The cancellation endorsement will be signed by the Sub-Registrar of Assurances and attested by two witnesses.

It is important to note that the cancellation of a partition deed can be a complex legal process, and it is advisable to consult a lawyer for specific guidance and assistance in cancelling a registered partition deed.
