Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) obtain certified copy of sale deed from sub registration office
2) you can aissue notice to aunt to furnish you certified copies of original documents lying in their possession
3) under section 44 of transfer of property act co owner can sell his share without consent of other co owners
1)There is no demarcation on the said residential house . We want to make a physical boundary how can we do that without objection as the partition done by grandfather is not registered. 2)There is a prespective buyer but he is taking a loan so the bank is asking for original copy of the sale deed , so will the certified copy work in this case? Does mutation in revenue is sufficient or we need to update our names in any other documents as well ( urban residential property)
1) mutation in revenue records is for purpose of payment of property taxes
2) you can issue legal notice to aunt to furnish inspection of original sale deed
3) furnish certified copy of sale deed
4) apply to survey office for demarcation of boundaries
5) if aunt does not cooperate file suit for partition for division of house by metes and bounds
1. Since there is no physical division of property and no original title deed is there either you can file a suit for partition.
2. The decree of court not only determine your share and area of possession but would do away with the title deed as well..
3. The partition suit takes time if your cousins contests the same. Hence they and you either settle the case or execute a mutual deed of partition and register the same.
The mutation records, tax receipts and possession of property and documentary evidences for possession shall be a good evidence to prove that you are in possession of property.
As far as the documents are concerned, you can obtain certified copy from the registrar's office after which on the basis of mutation records you can proceed further on the intended action.
The oral partition is also an evidence for partition and separate possession, hence based on the unregistered partition deed you can proceed with the demarcation.
In partitioned property, the certified copy of the sale deed shall be a valid document.
Mutation of property itself would contain the names of all those entitled to the share in the property
