¶4

This is an application filed by the plaintiff for passing final decree.

¶5

The preliminary decree for partition was passed on 06.07.2017, in which the plaintiff was granted 1/4^th share. The defendants have not paid any Court fee, and sought preliminary decree for their shares and hence there was no preliminary decree passed as concerning their shares. This application is now filed for dividing ¼ share of the plaintiff by metes and bounds.

¶6

The Commissioner has visited the property and filed her report. The Commissioner has suggested two modes of division of properties, to detail which, she has filed two plans. Since the Commissioner has not numbered the plans, the are now numbered as Plan-I and Plan-II, and in both the plans, she has divided the entire suit property into four plots. It may be mentioned that this division of the plots into four, may not be of any immediate purpose, since this Court is concerned only with granting final decree to the
