Property division

This query is : Resolved
I have a ancestral property of 40 Bigha in Uttar pradesh. We are 4 shareholders and my father has expired. This property is divided into 8 pieces which are in different areas and hence valued at different prices
We have applied for partition of property through court and even have a compromise letter signed by all shareholders. We have agreed to give 2 shareholders 11 bigha each and rest 9 bigha each to other 2 shareholders.
Now the SDM is not accepting this and is saying the land will be equally divided in 1/4 parts i.e 10 Bigha for each.
Also he says that every piece of land will be divided in 4 parts which means every shareholder will have share in 8 pieces.
Is there any way out that property can be divided according to our compromise. SDM has said if we can bring any past ruling he will allow the division. Any help would be highly appreciated..

In UP agricultural land is subjected to UP Land and Zamindari Abolition rules.

The name suggests that you are a Muslim; Islamic Law does not recognise the concept of ancestral property.
