Generally, the court fee for a partition suit is a percentage of the market value of the property. For example, in Delhi, the court fee for filing a partition suit is 1% of the market value of the property subject to a maximum of INR 50,000.
However, the exact court fee for partition of property can vary from state to state, and it is advisable to consult with a lawyer or check the relevant Court Fees Act of the state where the suit is being filed.
