1. Challenge in this appeal is to the order dated 31st October, 2018 passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court on an application filed by the appellant/defendant under Section 4 of the Partition Act. The learned Single Judge has reached to a conclusion that Section 4 of the Partition Act would not apply as the property in question is not a dwelling unit.

2. After some hearing in the matter, learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant will approach the single Judge as he has already filed a valuation report and he wishes to buy the share of the respondent at the market price. Ms. Kapoor submits that in case the market price is offered, the respondent will have no objection to sell their share in the property to the appellant herein. 2019:DHC:2053-DB RFA (OS) 87/2018
