Section 225: Partition to be effected when inventory produced

1) If the person who has to submit an inventory fails to submit the inventory or lapses the time-limit by not submitting a statement of defense and the person filing a lawsuit requesting for the partition of property also fails to submit the inventory of property, the court shall, by causing the person filing the lawsuit to execute a deed of the same statement, abate the lawsuit subject to the condition that the partition shall be effected at the time when an inventory of the property is produced.

2) If a lawsuit is abated pursuant to sub-section (1) and the person filing the lawsuit makes a petition subsequently, accompanied by an inventory, the court shall effect partition between the coparceners in accordance with law, on the basis of the previous case-file itself.
