Why partition of Land :-
It has been observed that majority of the disputes,court cases,crime and all sorts of litigation,where land is the subject,arise on account of the fact that the ownership of the land although in equal shares or in varying degrees is JOINT.The following situations may emerge and may lead to endless litigation,loss of money/time/energy and ultimately ending of ties/relations.
1.In a joint 'khata',some of of the owners are absentee owners and the entire land is under the control and management of either one of the co-sharers or some close relative or some attorney.
2.The land is given on rent /lease or chakota for a particular period but the lesse or the person in possession does not renew the lease after the expiry of the agreed term,stops paying rent and even stops the entry of the actual owners.
3.The so called caretaker or attorney or lesse or a relative prepares forged documents and in this exercise,as a first step,prepares a forged general power of attoney.Then starts the process of transfer of land,though, in parts to persons e.g.wife ,son,daughter etc. within the family,of course,( without consideration),and to ousiders with consideration without the knowledge,consent or authority of the actual owners.Thus huge sums of money is collected through such illegal transactions by the 'thugs'.
4. The safest way for the absentee owners and especially the NRI'S is to go in for partition of their respective shares through the court of the concerned Tehsildar/Naib Tehsildar or through the court of District Revenue Officer who acts as the presiding officer of the FAST TRACK COURT FOR NRI'S.
5.Once the shares have been partitiond,the willing owners can earn better price as compared to distress sales made in a joint khata............................to be continued.
