Time limit for partition suit?

Normally There is no time limit for partition.  

In some cases if the co-parcener denies the right to property of another co-parcener, the hostile possession runs (adverse possession). If it completes 12 years the right to take partition or possession of property seizes. 

Hi,

There is no time limit for initiating a suit partition.  I differ with what Mr. Ganesan has said with regard to the concept of adverse possession.  The Concept of adverse possession is not applicable among co-owners it is only the concept of ouster which is very much applicable.

I also agree with Mr. Vinoba ji. I add one thing here it is so because possession of a co-sharer is possession of all co-sharer( like husband's possession) and that of a trustee.

Sir

All of those three above views are correct. For me, one more addition. If a co-sharer denies the right of other co-sharer and doing documents of title and getting revenue records in his name and making encumbarance over the property, known to the knowledge of the other co-sharer and the co-sharer knowing well those things and kept mum for more than 12 years, the ouster will be complete. Then the right of the other co-sharer will be in great trouble.
