Hello,
I am a lady speaking from Rohtak, Haryana.
I want to file a case against my father for getting a share of ancestral Land.
My father has 10 Acres of ancestral land and he wants to give all land to my brother.
He doesn't believe in an equal distribution.
He is living as of now.
I met to a lawyer in the local court, he said " We will file a case for declaration and injunction and after winning the case then we will file a case for partition"
Dear lawyers, can you please clarify-
1. is he saying right that to get a share in ancestral property, the case for declaration is to be filed and then case for the partition to be filed?
2. can't we file a case for partition directly?
dear experts please clarify

To my best, you can file a Partition suit directly in the court concerned.

You need to file suit for partition and injunction only and don't file suit for declaration.

Ancestral property is defined as one that is inherited up to four generations of male lineage and should have remained undivided throughout this period.
If the said property fulfills the requirements, discuss with local lawyer and file case for partition.

How is that the property ancestral? Anyhow, there is no cause of action for seeking an injunction. So also, there is no cause of action for filing the suit for partition unless it is certain that the property is ancestral. Else, it would be counterproductive.
The advice from the advocate, as stated, is less than professional. The law does not allow multiplicity of litigation.
