Does boundary error in sale deed affect court judgment?

Someone filed a civil suit on our plot, correctly mentioning the southeast and northwest boundaries. However, our sale deed has a mistake in the northwest boundary. Since the seller is deceased, rectification is not possible. Will this mistake affect the case or increase the chances of the plaintiff winning?

A boundary mistake in your sale deed may create confusion, but if you physically occupy the correct plot and the plaintiff is falsely claiming ownership, you can defend your case. Since rectification is not possible, rely on possession, old records, and neighboring boundaries to support your claim in court. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
