How to fix sale deed error with missing original vendors?
There are two adjacent plots. Initially, both had separate sale deeds. The current owner purchased them from one family and combined them into a single sale deed. Now, the owner is trying to resell the plots separately. Issue: In the sale deed, all vendors' names are mentioned in serial order. However, for the plot I want to buy, the typist made an error and mentioned the wrong vendor number on page 3. As a result, the actual owner’s name is not correctly shown against the plot I wish to purchase. Now the seller is saying that a rectification deed is not possible because the original owners are no longer in contact, as the sale deed was executed in 2006. What should I do?
You should ask the current owner to execute a rectification deed to correct the error. If the original vendors can't be traced, get an indemnity bond signed and include a legal clause in your agreement to protect your ownership. You may also approach a civil court if needed to rectify the record. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
