By way of the present petition, the petitioners challenge the order dated 20th December, 2010 vide which the application filed by the present petitioners directing the plaintiffs to pay stamp duty by valuing the suit property to Rs.5,92,000/­ is rejected. 2. It is the contention of the petitioners that the plaintiffs have sold the undivided share of plaintiff No.2 on 3rd March, 2010 for an amount of Rs.96,000/­ and as such the market value of the property mentioned in column No.1A is Rs.1,96,000/­. It is further contended that the property mentioned in column 1B is worth Rs.4,00,000/­. Therefore, the stamp duty ought to have been paid on Rs.5,96,000/­. 3. Admittedly, the suit is for partition. It would, therefore, be governed by Section 6(5) read with Section 6(7) of the Bombay Court Fees Act. 4. In that view of the matter no perversity is noticed in the impugned order warranting interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The petition, therefore, stands dismissed.
