is oral partition is valid in court of law
Bhartiya No. 1 (Nationalist) 07 August 2010
These excerpts are from the judgments mentioned with may be useful, just check-
# “The family settlement (may be even oral) must be voluntary and should not be by fraud, coercion or undue influence. The family arrangement must be a bonafide one so as to resolve family disputes and rival claims by a fair and equitable division.
Kala v. Deputy Director of consolidation, AIR 1976 SC 807. Also Sahu Madho Das v. Mukund Ram, AIR 1955 SC 481.”
# “The family arrangement may be even oral in which case no registration is necessary. The registration would be necessary only if the terms of the family arrangement are reduced into writing. Even If the family arrangement is not registered, then it can be used as collateral purpose.” Ibid. Also see Tek Bahadur Bhuji v. D. S. Bhuji, AIR 1966 SC 292.
