90E. Right to claim partition of to-parcenary property. —(1) Any co-parcener and any female who has acquired an interest in ancestral property by reason of the provisions contained in clause (d) of section 90C may, at any time, claim partition and separate enjoyment of his or her share in the property whether or not the other parties concerned are agreeable thereto.

(2) Where any female who has acquired any such interest as is referred to in sub-section (1) dies without claiming partition and obtaining separate enjoyment of her share in the property, her interest in the property shall, on her death, revert to the members of the co-parcenary.

90F. Right of co-parcener to buy off the share of another co- parcener, etc., in certain cases. —Notwithstanding anything contained in section 90D a co-parcener may require any other co-parcener who has ceased to be a Hindu by conversion to another religion or a female who has acquired an interest in ancestral property by reason of the provisions contained in clause (d) of section 90C to take his or her share in the ancestral property for separate enjoyment and thereupon the provisions of the Partition Act,

1893 (IV of 1893), shall apply as if there was a partition and as if the coparcener who has ceased to be a Hindu or the female, as the case may be, were the transferee of a share of a dwelling house belonging to the coparcenary.

(b) where the partition is between brothers, they, shall take equal shares;

(c) where the partition is between co-parceners belonging to different branches of the family, the property shall be divided amongst the branches equally per stirpes ;

90H. Termination of coparcenary. —So long as there is no other coparcener in the family, every person who acquires any ancestral property shall be entitled to hold the property as an absolute owner, and on his death, the property shall devolve on his heirs by succession and not by survivorship.
