Yes, your father withdraw the suit at any stage, but not at all serve or meet purpose of your father. With regard to preliminary decree, after preliminary decree fdp will file after completion of appeal period and within 2 years from the date of decree. Plantiff or Defendants can file fdp there is no bar. All the best.

1. If parties have settled the matter then the suit can be disposed of by filing consent terms. This can be done at any stage

2. If suit withdrawn now then court may impose cost on the party seeking withdrawal

3. In a partition suit, all parties are considered plaintiffs.

For first query yes your father can withdraw proceedings by filing a memo or application for withdrawal of suit.

After preliminary decree you need to file a fresh petition under FDP to enforce the preliminary decree order by court.

Appeal needs to be preferred within 90 days from order of lower court. Either defendant or plaintiff can initiate final decree proceedings or any person who is getting benefit out of preliminary decree of court.

1. There is no time limit to withdraw the suit. He can even stop attending the suit so it gets dismissed for default.

2. Yes, once preliminary decree is passed unless the same is set aside final decree is bound to be passed by partitioning the suit property by metes and bound.

3. yes 30 days for appeal.

4. Anyone who is party to the suit being arrived by the decree can prefer an appeal.

If the reason for withdraw is shared further advice could be given.

If your father does not attend court decision would be pronounced by court based on evidence on record

Suit would not be dismissed

No since your side evidence is completed only you people need to complete arguments even if your father does not attend court the advocate may conclude his arguments unless instructed by you people to withdraw suit. The case will not be dismissed and it will also be not ex parte.

1. Yes the suit can be withdrawn.

2. No we have to fule for the final decree there is no automatic procedure.

3. An appeal can be made from preliminary decree before the higher court.The court doesn't give time as such but an appeal.can preferred at earliest within limitation .

4.Decree holder can start it can be plaintiff or defendant bht since in partition suit if decree is in favour of plaintiff partition is done plaintiff can intiaite .

Sir your father advocate can be present, gurjar if he is not present then court may adjourn matter to next date. It can dismiss for default.

This is in further response to you:

1. Your father need not appear in the case, his legal representative;

2. Decree only decides the rights of the parties;

3. The final order/judgment decides the case for finality and dispose of the same;

4. Therefore make sure somebody appears for the entirety of the case otherwise the decree order could be reversed.

If he is the sole plaintiff then the suit is goring to be dismissed for default unless other defendants applies to court to transpose them as plaintiff so they can carry on the suit.

transposition of defendant as plaintiff is permissible in partition suit.

If the stage is hearing there is no need to attend the court. But if the stage is giving evidence / or case posted for list then you father must attend before the court and tender his evidence. Other wise the suit will dismissed on default.

In a partition suit has two stage. First one preliminary and second one is final and decree is known as preliminary decree and final decree. first stage decides

whether the plaintiff has a share in the suit property and whether he is entitled to division and separate possession. The decision on these two issues is exercise of a judicial function and results in first stage decision termed as `decree' under Order 20 Rule 18(1) and termed as `preliminary decree' under Order 20 Rule 18(2) of the Code.

The consequential division by metes and bounds, considered to be a ministerial or administrative act requiring the physical inspection, measurements, calculations and considering various permutations/ combinations/alternatives of division is referred to the Collector under Rule 18(1) and is the subject matter of the final decree under Rule 18(2)

when a preliminary decree is passed in a partition suit, the proceedings should be continued by fixing dates for further proceedings till a final decree is passed. It is the duty and function of the court. Performance of such function does not require a reminder or nudge from the litigant. The mindset should be to expedite the process of dispute resolution.

All the stage has liberty to file appeal by the infringed parties in the suit.

The court would direct final decree be drawn by appointment of commissioner for division of property by metes and bounds

Plaintiff had to file a separate FDP suit to get the partition enforced which was granted in preliminary decree by court by appointment of commissioner. Court suo moto will not initiate proceedings.

After the preliminary decree any person can file final decree. Court will not sumo to take a final decree proceedings. In final decree appoint a commissioner with surveyor and measure out the property and partition the property with meets and bound s

Court does not suo motu start final decree proceedings. It is done on the application of the parties.

if he does not appear then the exparte judgment will be passed

No fresh petition is required to be filed

1. Yes your father, if desirous of withdrawing the suit even before judgment, can very well do so by filing a memo to dismiss the same as not pressed.

2. The plaintiff has to file a petition for appointment of commission and for final decree as well.

3. If the aggrieved party wants to prefer an appeal against the preliminary decree, they can do it within 30 days from the date of judgment.

4. Plaintiff only approached the court for relief and not the defendant hence it is the plaintiff who has to initiate process for FD.

Your father's advocate will be representing the case in case your father is not appearing as party in person.

The arguments will be made by our advocate and not your father.

If your advocate reports no instructions and your father is not appearing before court then first the court will send notice to your father and if he is not turning up then the court will dismiss the suit

my question is that after preliminary decree court it self start for final decree process or plantiff have to file a petition to start fdp process ?? what is the rule??

There is no time limit to start the process for final decree, it can be done at any time

Sir an application has to be made to court for the final decree after the preliminary decree is made after the statutory limitation period for appeal is over.
