your case had a chequered history . it is necessary to go through case papers filed in various courts to advice . without going through the suit papers we cannot advice . whether partition deed was duly stamped and regsitered .

it appears that option was given to sister to exercise right of pre emption but she has failed to deposit the sale price in court . the court may permit the sister to deposit the purchase the dwelling house at current market price .
