70—Sale on application of certain proportion of parties interested
On any application for partition, if the party or parties interested
individually or collectively, to the extent of one moiety or upwards in the
property, request the court to direct a sale of the property and a
distribution of the proceeds, instead of a division of the property between or
among the parties interested, the court shall, unless it sees good reason to
the contrary, direct a sale of the property accordingly, and shall give all
necessary or proper consequential directions.
