Dear Sir, Thank kindly advice on the follwing extracted from sec 29 of the Indian stamp act

 

in the case of an instrument of partition-by the parties thereto in proportion to their respective shares in the whole property partitioned, or when the partition is made in execution of an order passed by a Revenue-authority or Civil Court or arbitrator, in such proportion as such authority, Court or arbitrator directs.

If i am not wrong  it seems that award  by Arbitrator on the immovable property  attract Stamp duty -

What on other disputes  not of any immovable propertu - e.g - Any contracts

Sir i require your advice to be clear on this issue pls guide
