I think you have chose a wrong platform for partition of the agricultural land. The proper platform is Tehsildar who is competent to make partition wherein the stamp duty is of only Rs. 10/-.

If you chose the path of civil court then you are undoubtedly liable for the stamp duty over the value of entire property.
