According to the Hindu Joint Family,Once the Partition is made,it can be irrevocable or
re-opened.
A text of Manu, once the partition of inheritence made:Once is a damsel given in the
marriage and once does a man say,"I give",these three are done for once
and irrevocable.
1. Fraud:
If the Partition is found any fradulent,it can be re-opened.For
instance,worthless assests are fradulently misrepresented as valuable assests and are
distributed to a coparcener,he has right to claim the re-opening of partition.
2. Son in Womb:
At the time of partition,if a son is in Womb,and no share is alloted for him,it can be
reopened.
3. Adopted Son:
If a widow of a coparcener adopted a son after the partition was take
place.The adopted son has a right to re-opened the partition.
4. Disqualified Coparcener :
A disqualified coparcener is deprived of his share at the time of partition due to some
technical constraint.After the disqualification is removed,he can get the
partition removed.
6. Absentee Coparcener :
At the time of partition is taken,where a coparcener is absent and there is no share is
alloted to him,he can get the partition re-opened.
7. Minor Coparcener:
A minor coparcener can claim the re-opening of the partition,if he can establish that the
partition.During his minority was unjust,unfair and prejudicial.
So,according to these cases a partition can be re-opened in the Hindu Joint Family.
