Dear Client,

The property purchased is a joint property of A and B. Both have equal undivided share in the property. If either party want document, the same can be had from the office of regisrar if needy party will apply for certified copy. Both parties are entitle to sell their undivided share to third parties. Without the partition no party is allowed to construct the house etc., If any ofthe party try to construct the house , the other party can approach to civil court for injuction.

A. Is there any partnership deed between A and B ? Whether it is registered or not ? Is property purchased in the name of partnership firm or not?

B. As per your statement, A and B has got property by register paper. Hence, A and B has joint ownership over the property. A and B has 50% share accordingly. Therefore, B cannot do anything without A consent, i.e, Sale, mortgage for loan etc.,

C. If the property is registered, A can apply certified copies of the paper before the local sub register office to know the terms of legalalities. And A can approach the court for an injunction to stop the work if B starts the construction. Better issue legal notice against him by giving legal warning whatever consequences to be faced in future, i.e, criminal case prosecution. And give paper publication regarding your property by divulging all material facts to public awareness.

Hello,

As the property is in joint ownership and and are equal stakeholders A can approach the sub registrar's office and apply for a certified copy by paying the prescribed fee .

A should also send a legal notice to B demanding partition and if he does not comply with the requisition file a suit for partition in the court.

A can also file for an injunction restraining him from alienating or creating any third party rights on the entire property.

Neither of the party will not be able to sell unless the other party consents.

Once the partition is done A and B can sell their respective shares.

1. Since A and B are co-owners of the land B cannot sell the property without the express consent of A.

2. A certified copy of the sale deed can be obtained by A from the office of jurisdictional registrar.

3. A can move to court and seek a stay order against B to restrain the latter from selling the property without his consent. If third party rights are created it will be very difficult to impeach them. So A should move to court and stop B from creating third party rights.
