1 Answer from Attorneys

1) The right to pre-empt purchase by co-sharer under S.4 of the Partition Act, 1893 cannot be exercised till the stranger/outsider sues for partition.

2) There is no law which provides that co-sharer must only sell his/her share to another co-sharer. Thus, strangers/outsiders can purchase shares even in a dwelling house.
