Yes a co sharer can sale their undivided share without the knowledge of other. Hence to restran that eventuality any co sharer can file a suit for partition and injunction not only to claim his due share but also to stop any co sharer from tranasferring any part of the joint property.

sir,
THANK YOU so much sir,please 1more doubt.kindly advice me
my doubt is:
1>entire property documents are on my fathers name,how can my sister
sell property without our signature.we (me,my elder brother)dont know
about crops ,we both r doing jobs.
2>My elder brother stays in HYDERABAD,Iam staying in ONGOLE,but our
property is in NELLORE ,kaligiri(village).if we want to put case
against my sister,can we appoint lawyer from my home i.e in ONGOLE
court or should i go to NELLORE and put the case in that NELLORE
court.My brother can appoint lawyer in HYDERABAD.
3>If we want to give INJUCTION order,from which place we must give
orders i.e whether we must go to our village,or can we put case and
appoint lawyer from my place or not.
Please tell me.Pls reply.
Thank you
