Where co-owned matrimonial property cannot be partitioned by consent or mediation, a court exercising inherent jurisdiction may direct its court-supervised sale at market value through an officer appointed by the High Court, with proceeds divided equally between the co-owners, each then independently liable to service their respective outstanding home loan obligations. This principle — that equitable division of jointly-held immovable property post-dissolution of marriage is achievable through judicial sale rather than physical partition — is summarised as part of the case analysis available on casestatus.in.
