Sir,
There are two ways in your problems either sell your share in an undivided manner but again the purchaser will have to seek partition from them for demarcation of his share and the other ways is that you should file a partition suit in the court of your jurisdiction.
But before selling your property keep in mind the provisions of RIGHT TO PRESUMPTION as enuciated in section 4 of partition act

There is no bar on you from selling your share of the property, as section 7 of the Transfer of Property Act states this fact, being a co-owner of the property you have all the right to transfer your share to another co-owner or an outsider for any consideration. But there will always be a confusion as to the exact share of each co-owner in the absence of partition and therefore partition of the property is always preferred. If the other co-owners are refusing to get the partition done mutually or are obstructing you from selling your share then the only way you have is to file a ''Partition Suit" and then get your property demarcated.

By way of sale your parents can sell their undivided share in the property after notifying the other shareholders of the transaction and if there is any objection to the sale then let that be on record and thereafter a partition suit can be instituted at the relevant court having jurisdiction.
