The Partition of Revenue-Paying Estates Act, 1863

The Partition of Revenue-Paying Estates Act, 1863 was enacted to provide for the partition of revenue-paying estates in certain cases, where the co-owners of such estates could not agree on the partition of the same. The act provides for the appointment of a revenue court to conduct the partition proceedings, and the revenue court's decision would be final and binding on all parties involved. The act provides detailed guidelines on how the partition proceedings should be conducted and what factors should be taken into consideration while determining the share of each co-owner. The act applies to all revenue-paying estates in India, except in cases where a different procedure for partition has been established by local custom or law.
