In the case of
V.N. Sarin v. Ajeet Kumar AIR 1986 SC 432, the Supreme Court held that
partition is not a transfer of property. It is merely a division of jointly held property among co-owners, and no new title is created. Each co-owner already had a title to the entire property before partition.

Partition is a method to divide joint ownership into individual ownership, where each co-owner’s share becomes separate property. This ruling clarifies that partition is not a conveyance or transfer as defined under the Transfer of Property Act.
