I jointly own a plot of around 15000 sq ft of land. I bought this along with my relative co-owner about 5 years ago, we each own 50% of the land. Now I want to partition this land and use it for my own purpose. My relative is postponing the partition of the property endlessly. We were supposed to divide the land in 6 months after purchase. My relative is well off and does not need money. My investment has been blocked. I realise that his aim is to block me financially and make me sell my shares to him for low cost. But he does not say that. Instead he tries to postpone any partitioning ideas with some lame excuse. What can I do other than filing a law suit for a partition as it involves more money.
To overcome this challenge I built a temporary shed in one portion of the land and kept the remaining land empty. Shed comes to around 1500 sq ft only. My share of land is close to 7500 sq ft. In this temporary shed, I am started to sell some household products and generate income. My relative did not mind during construction, but after I started doing sales he is asking me to stop the business. . What can I do now to protect my investment. He neither comes for partition nor allows to me use my land. What are my rights for using my land using my undivided shares. Please advice Thank you
