Section 222: Partition to be effected by taking inventory

1) If it appears from the lawsuit filed or statement of defense submitted pursuant to Section 220 that partition requires to be effected and an inventory of property is submitted along with the lawsuit or statement of defense, the court shall effect partition, having the coparceners executed a deed stating, inter alia, that the property they have submitted is the only property to be partitioned and that they have not concealed or hidden any other property.

2) If an inventory of property is not submitted along with the lawsuit or statement of defence, the court shall, by specifying a time-limit, require the coparceners to submit the inventory of the property and effect partition by causing the coparceners to execute a deed pursuant to sub-section (1),  if the coparceners submit such an inventory within the time-limit so specified.
