The Partition Act confers the valuable right of pre-emption on a co-sharer. Besides, under its provisions, a stranger who has purchased a share in a family dwelling house and seeking partition, can be compelled to sell his share to the members of the family who are owners of the rest of the house, at a valuation to be determined by the Court, and this prevents the intrusion of the strangers into the circle of co-owners and preserves the sanctity of the family dwelling-house.The concept of joint ownership so far nurtured by the Hindu Undivided Family for many centuries has eroded as a result of the development of an industrial Society in modern times. Partition under Hindu Law has been exhaustively dealt with in chaste and lucid language.
