Section 118. Disposal of other questions.

(1) When there is a question as to the property to be divided, or the mode of making a partition, the Revenue-officer shall, after, such inquiry as he deems necessary, record an order stating his decision on the question and his reasons for the decision. (2) An appeal may be preferred to the Commissioner from an order under sub-section (1) within fifteen days from the date thereof, and, when such an appeal is preferred and the institution thereof has been certified to the Revenue-officer by the Commissioner, the Revenue-officer shall stay proceedings pending the disposal of the appeal. (3) If an applicant for partition is dissatisfied with an original or appellate order under this section, and applies for permission to withdraw from the proceedings in so far as they relate to the partition of his shares, he shall be permitted to withdraw therefrom on such terms as the Revenue-officer thinks fit. (4) When an applicant withdraw, under the last foregoing sub-section, the Revenue-officer may, where the other applicants, if any, desire the continuance of the proceeding, continue them in so as far they relate to the partition of the shares of those other applicants.
