Actually Law Of Limitation Act does not apply to partition suit it can be filed at any time but when one co-sharer demands partition and other co-sharer refused for Partition then the suit for partition should be filed within three from date of cause of action accrued to him or daniel for partiton.

The partition suit is not barred by limitation and it can be filed anytime even after 100 years of remaining together.
It depends on the shareholders who, if they feel that it will no more be possible or feasible to continue to live together in the undivided and co-shared property, they can file a suit for partition anytime they may feel so.
There is no restriction for that in the law.
