No. Do remember notice does not necessarily mean written notice. The formal request to make a partition is enough to give rise to cause of action.

Not necessary, Legal notice is mandatory only for suit against government authorities u/s 80 of cpc.

no formal notice is mandatory. for partition, only intention of partition is sufficient. but giving notice is always better.

pre suit/litigation notice for partition is not neccessary. Mere oral request will suffice.
it be noted that cause of action for filling suit of partition arises only when request of partition is denied. hence there must be oral request and refusal in reply. further there must be such pleading in the plaint.

No need, but it must be shown that there was/is a informal/ oral request and the denial, in the recital portion of the plaint
