Dear Cleint,
If it is partnership at WILL than can retire by giving notice. Till now only 50% land has been sold, so you can claim 50% of your share or otherwise agreed by other partners to clear your account. Land is transferred in firm so until no dissolution, land will vest in firm only. You can only demand price of land.
If other partners are no disputing your claim than land can be transferred back by firm.

dissolution or, if no date is so mentioned, as from the date of communication of the
notice.”

which the firm will be dissolved
