The object of this paper is to examine the provisions of this act in relation to partition and their relevancy in present time. The partition refers to division of joint shares in the land. It is a process in which joint share in the property is divided. Partition can be made of agriculture land, residential land or commercial land. Thus, partition can be of agricultural or non-agricultural land. In different states different procedures are followed for the partition of the property. In Punjab and Haryana, partition of agriculture land paying land revenue is determined by the revenue officer. Co-owners may also make an agreement of partition with the consensus of all. Therefore, partition can be contested partition before the revenue officer or it may be of uncontested partition with the consensus of co-sharers. The Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 amended by 2017, 2020 and 2021 contains detailed provisions for partition of the agricultural land paying land revenue.
