How to Calculate Court Fees in Partition Suit


26-May-2023 (In Property Law)
I had filed a Suit for Partition in Delhi for a family house against the other relatives. In the Suit, I and the other Defendants mutually agreed that i will get the entire ground floor of the property and i would not claim any interest in the other floors on the condition that i will have to pay the appropriate court fees. The court then passed an order saying that a Decree of Possession be drawn in my favour after i deposit appropriate court fees. I want to know how to calculate the court fees?
