What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

A long answer. Several lines are fine, and a break you make between paragraphs is the break the document keeps.

What is the plaint date?Needed

A calendar date — the day, the month and the year. Dates in a document like this are read against one another, so a date typed here can change what another date is allowed to be.

Clearing empties every box on this form, and there is no way back to what was in them.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

VERIFICATION

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Order XX Rule 18 CPC governs partition decrees; section 54 CPC routes partition of an estate assessed to Government revenue through the Collector after the civil court declares rights. Sections 2 and 3 of the Partition Act, 1893 permit sale or co-sharer purchase in the stated circumstances. The competent civil court receives the plaint. The exact Punjab court-fee rate and pecuniary threshold were not confirmed; appeal follows the CPC from the decree/order of the trial court.

Chandigarh: The same CPC and Partition Act rules govern the civil suit. For a sector/estate property, the title record is the Estate Office file under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007; do not plead it as jamabandi property. The exact Chandigarh court-fee rate and pecuniary threshold were not confirmed; appeal follows the CPC. 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.

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
