DEAR KARAN'

Unregistered patition deed is no value in eye of laws, it does not go directly in evidence,it must be proved by other circumstacial evidence. you file civil suit for partion & declaration of immoveable properies & moveable properties, in said suit you can file application for production of original unregisterd pation deed.court will grant you application. You can adduce oral evidence e.g. call witness who written partion deed & witnesses on partion deed.

Dear Mr. Kannan,

I agree with Mr.Adinath. You should file a suit for partition and declaration and file the unregistered document as a Deed of Family Arrangement (which need not be registered). Thereafter, you can prove the partition through the parties to the document.

Alternatively, if all the parties to the document are alive, you can get all of them to execute a fresh Deed of Partition and register the same in which you can mention that the parties have already divided the properties as per the unregistered Family Arrangement and the prsent deed is being executed to confirm the same.

Thanks, Ramakrishnan, ADV
