PARTITION ACT 1868 - SECT 9

Parties to partition suits.

9. Any person who, if this Act had not been passed, might have maintained a
suit for partition may maintain such suit against any one or more of the
parties interested, without serving the other or others (if any) of those
parties; and it shall not be competent to any defendant in the suit to object
for want of parties; and at the hearing of the cause the Court may direct such
inquiries as to the nature of the property, and the persons interested
therein, and other matters, as it thinks necessary or proper with a view to an
order for partition or sale being made on further consideration; but all
persons who, if this Act had not been passed, would have been necessary
parties to the suit shall be served with notice of the decree or order on the
hearing and after such notice shall be bound by the proceedings as if they had
been originally parties to the suit, and shall be deemed parties to the suit;
and all such persons may have liberty to attend the proceedings; and any such
person may, within a time limited by general orders, apply to the Court to add
to the decree or order.

Ss.10, 11 rep. by SLR 1893
