YES
But it will have to be agreed by all the joint-owners.
The actual process on how to go about it will depend on what the property is (e.g. agricultural land, dwelling, or is movable / immovable), the owners' religion(s) and what state the property is located in. This article gives some more detail - especially around Hindu law.
Ownership of property as “joint tenants” means the property is owned as a single indivisible unit.
Conversely, “tenants-in-common” own their shares separately and can sell them individually.
