My father and his brother own a property in Kochi, with a court order for its division. They have a 5/6 share in the land, but my father is hesitant to petition the court for a survey. Can he independently request the court to appoint a commission for measuring the property? What legal steps are required to appoint a commission and partition the property?

Yes, your father can independently petition the court to appoint a commission for measuring the property. He needs to file a formal application with the court, detailing the need for a survey and partition. The court will then consider the application and, if satisfied, appoint a commission to measure and divide the property according to the existing court order.
