Hello,
A property of two storied building with land is owned by 3 relatives in Delhi. The mutation is in their 3 names. There is no partition deed. Can one owner sell his/her undivided share to a third party without a partition deed? In the sales deed if the two other owners sign as witnesses, is that enough? What documents do we require?

A co-sharers even without getting signatures of other co-sharers as witnesses can sell his undivided share in the property.

Thank you Mr. Devajyoti.
I understand; however, is there a no objection certificate needed from the other two owners? Or some kind of settlement deed?

If NOC is given then it is good for the buyer but it is not required. The buyer should insist for such NOC, the seller need not bother about this.

Please go through Section 44 of the Transfer of Property Act.

I agree with Mr. Anirudh. However, as advised by experts, an owner has every right to dispose of his/her share of property. Partitioned or without a partition of the property is to be taken care at the time of handing/taking over possession of the part of property being transacted.

Your query with particular context of "owned by 3 relatives" does not give a clear picture. The question is whether the building is a dwelling house and belongs to undivided family of the three co-owners or not?

Agreed that a co sharer can sell his undivided share out of the property and if the buyer insists on NOC from other co-sharers, it can be produced.
