• Regarding Patta and Daag of a plot of purchased by my father

My father purchased a plot of land almost a year ago. The owner handed over the plot, but we could not set up pillars as water was stagnant there. After registration, we got mutated in the settlement records and eventually in the municipal record. We also paid the property tax. But, now someone is claiming that it is his land. My questions are
1. Whether my Patta no. and Daag no. can mismatch? 
2. Whether someone can claim after mutation is done?

1. What is the basis of claim of another person. Without knowing the title of person claiming over your property it is difficult to advise.

2. Mutation is only presumption of title. It doesn't override the title as mutation is meant to for revenue records only.

3. So if your title is clean the another person's claim of title wouldn't stand for sure.

1. If you had conducted due diligence in a flawless manner before purchase of land which showed that the title of the land is free and marketable then you may prove your title. Be that as it may, let this man go to civil court and file a suit for declaration of title and recovery of possession, which you can contest.

2.Mutation is not a document of title. If somebody claims a title better than the title of the person in possession then he can always file a suit for declaration of his title.

The patta number and their relevant details of the property should not mismatch, if it does then you may apply for rectification of the same before the authorities concerned.

You should verify that on what basis this third person is claiming this property, ask him to produce the title documents and other relevant documents or ask him to proceed through court where you can challenge on the basis of documents in your possession and merits in your side.
