Reading: My father purchased land in Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh, in the early 1970s. He passed away in 1989, leaving behind four children. As his rightful heir, I’m seeking my 25% share of the property. I sent a legal notice last year asserting my claim, but it seems the other parties are not interested in dividing the property. I don’t have the original property papers, which I need to file a partition suit in court. Can I still proceed with the suit without those documents?

Yes, you can still proceed with a partition suit, even without the original property papers. You can seek secondary evidence like copies of the sale deed or other relevant documents to prove your father’s ownership. The court can also order the other parties to produce the original documents.
