Co Owner

Legal definition for Indian law research

Definition

Co-owner, has no land on which he could erect a homestead, has preposterous legal implication, Satwant Singh Sodhi v. State of Punjab, (1999) 3 SCC 482.

Co-owner, a co-owner is as much an owner of the entire property as any sole owner of a property is, Sri Ram Pasricha v. Jagannath, (1977) 1 SCR 395: (1976) 4 SCC 184: AIR 1976 SC 2335.

A co-owner is as much an owner of the entire property as any sole owner of the property is: Jurisprudentially, it is not correct to say that a co-owner of property is not its owner. He owns every part of the composite property along with others and it cannot be said that he is only a part owner or a fractional owner of the property, Kanta Goel v. B.P. Pathak, (1977) 3 SCR 412: (1977) 2 SCC 814: AIR 1977 SC 1599.
