Sir, in 2001, a partition deed was registered between my father and his four brothers. Due to a lack of knowledge regarding survey numbers, there was a mistake in the deed concerning the survey numbers. We have two survey numbers, 275 and 277. Survey number 275 is registered under my father’s name for 48 gunthas, but my father only has possession of 12 gunthas. However, my father has been in possession of survey number 277, where our house has been located for the last 30 years. Others are facing similar issues regarding possession and registration on different survey numbers. Now, three of my uncles are planning to exchange their lands through a sale deed and change the boundaries without our consent. If they establish possession through the new sale deed, we could lose the land that we have been possessing, including the house and land that is under my father’s name in the partition deed, as they have been in possession of it for the last 30 years. What steps should we take in this situation?
Sir, legal notice can be sent to your uncles with a limitation period of 12 years to claim possession under adverse possession, if applicable. Additionally, you should file an application for corrections in the survey number at the Registrar Office of the Revenue Department in your local area. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
