Yes, a co-owner can sell their undivided share in a property without partition, but they cannot sell a specific portion of the property as their exclusive share unless the property is legally partitioned.

The division depends on whether the property is self-acquired or ancestral, whether there is a valid will, and the applicable succession law.

It may be challenged on specific legal grounds, such as fraud or lack of authority, but limitation periods and the facts of the case can affect whether a claim is maintainable.

A partition deed that creates or declares rights in immovable property generally requires registration under applicable registration law.

Stamp duty and registration charges vary by state, property value, relationship between co-owners, and other factors. The applicable rates should be checked for the state where the property is located.

If registration is legally required but not completed, the deed may face restrictions on its legal effect and admissibility as evidence. It can also create difficulties with mutation and future property transactions.
