Quick Summary

When an ancestral property needs to be partitioned among Hindu Undivided Family heirs, and mutual consent cannot be reached, filing a partition suit in a civil court is the recommended course of action. The court will ascertain each heir's rights and determine their specific share. It's advisable to seek professional legal assistance from a local lawyer to navigate the process effectively.

If HUF is intact, entire property is with the Karta. When a partition is sought it implies that HUF has been dissolved, is it so ?

Facts posted are contradictory.

It is better to seek professional services of a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts/documents and necessary advise/ proceeding.
