OPERATIVE EFFECT
The parties hereby partition the identified property in accordance with the allotments and boundaries above, subject to registration and any required authority approval.
LEGAL BASIS
Punjab: Article 45 applies to an instrument of partition. Section 17(1)(b) requires registration; section 23 gives four months for presentation and section 25 provides the limited further-period route. Punjab authority property remains subject to section 43(7) of the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995. The stamping note sets out how the Article 45 duty is assessed, and the registration note gives the fee.
Chandigarh: Article 45 and section 17(1)(b) apply to an operative private partition deed. Sector/estate property must also be reflected in the Estate Office file under the 1952 Act and 2007 Rules. The stamping and registration notes give the partition duty and the registration fee; the Estate Office fee was not confirmed. Rule 16 of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 and Rule 14 of the Chandigarh (Sale of Sites and Buildings) Rules, 1960 both forbid fragmentation of a site or building, and the Supreme Court held on 10 January 2023, in Residents Welfare Association v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, that a residential unit in Phase-I may not be fragmented, divided, bifurcated or apartmentalised. Check the Estate Office position before dividing a sector site or building by metes and bounds.
