1. The court fee is to be computed with respect to the market value of the property to be partitioned. The slab of court fee for filing a suit for partition is not uniform throughout India as all states have their own slab.

2. You should first ascertain the market value of the property from a ready reckoner. Thereafter a local lawyer will be able to tell you the exact amount of court fee to be paid at the time of filing the partition suit.

Hello,

There is no uniformity about court fee across the states in the country as it varies from one state to the other.

The court fee is determined on the bsis of the market value of the portion of the property that should come to you.

You can get obtain the market value by referring to the Ready Recknor.

You will certainly need the help of a local lawyer to file a suit for partition.Engage a lawyer locally ,he/she should be able to help you with the exact amount and file the suit as well.
