Dear Anonymous,
You say that you will agree that the disputed home belongs to your grand father and you would be willing for partition of the same. If this was known to your NRI uncle, then what was the necessity for him to approach the police station? In any case, NRI police or local police has nothing to do with the question of partition. If at all, your Uncle has to approach the Court of law with suitable documents seeking partition.
Whether it is residential property or other property, the same can be partitioned. You have to make up your mind whether to agree for partition or to contest your uncle's claim. Both are possible. In case of need, you can always approach any of the experts in this site.

The onus of proof to show the ancestral nature of the property lies upon the person who asks for the partition. So if you are confident that the house is not ancestral or he has no share in it then do not worry. His suit would fail for lack of proof.
