SUBJECT: Notice calling for partition of House No. 12, Phase 3B1, Mohali, measuring 250 square yards
Dear Sir / Madam,
1.1 The Sender and the Recipient hold House No. 12, Phase 3B1, Mohali, measuring 250 square yards (the Property) jointly, without it having been divided by metes and bounds.
1.2 The Property was owned by the late Shri Balbir Singh, who died on 4 March 2024 leaving no will. It came to the Sender and the Recipient, as his sons, in equal shares, and the mutation was sanctioned in both their names on 18 June 2024.
2.1 The Sender is entitled to one-half undivided share of the Property. The Sender no longer wishes to hold the Property jointly and asks that it be partitioned and the Sender's share separated and handed over.
2.2 The Recipient has been collecting the rent of Rs 25,000 a month from the ground-floor tenant since April 2024 and has not shared it with the Sender.
3.1 The Sender calls upon the Recipient, within 30 days of receipt of this notice, to agree to a partition of the Property by metes and bounds according to the shares of the parties, and to sign a partition deed for that purpose.
3.2 The Sender proposes the following: The Sender proposes that the ground floor and the front lawn go to the Sender and the first floor and the back portion to the Recipient, with the difference in value settled in cash.
3.3 The Sender is willing to meet the Recipient, and any other co-owner, within that time to settle how the Property is to be divided, with a mutual elder, a surveyor or a valuer present if the Recipient wishes.
3.4 Until the partition is made, the Recipient is called upon not to sell, mortgage, lease or otherwise part with the Property or any part of it, and not to raise any construction on it, without the written consent of the Sender.
4.1 If the Recipient does not agree within that time, the Sender will file a civil suit for partition and separate possession of the Sender's share, together with a claim for the Sender's share of any income taken from the Property, and for costs, as the Sender is advised.
4.2 Nothing in this notice waives any right or remedy of the Sender.
5.1 This notice is served by registered post with acknowledgement due. A notice properly addressed, pre-paid and posted is presumed to have been served in the ordinary course of post (Section 27, General Clauses Act, 1897). Refusal to accept delivery will be treated as service.
