A rectification deed should be executed after mutual consent of all the parties to the main deed. All parties to the original deed should jointly execute the rectification deed as well.

2)if seller is not traceable you may file a suit before a court under Section 26 of Specific Relief Act 1963. The law provides for relief to parties in case the real intention of the party is not properly reflected in the documents executed because of a bona fide mistake of fact.

. The court can direct the rectification of an instrument, if it is satisfied that the deed does not express the real intention of the parties. This relief is entirely discretionary.

Hello,

All parties shall mutually execute a rectification deed and shall sign the rectification deed to get the deed amended.

If there is a bona fide mistake which is required to be changed then in case where the other party is not traceable then you will have to file a suit u/s 26 of the SRA

If there happens to be no malafide behind the rectification then the court generally allows the rectification application.

You may contact a local lawyer who can help you with the same.

If the revenue officer has asked for rectiifcation deed then without it any other deed would not sevre purpose.

Anyway since it is an old document and tracing of legal heirs of sellers would be almost difficult you have only option of making an affidavit from the first class magistrate stating the area of land.

On this basis you can apply for fresh mutation.

Do note the absence of Pata in such technical difficulty would not cause any future problem.

You can send a legal notice to the vendor to his known address by registered post demanding them to execute a registered rectification deed rectifying the correct particulars in respect of the extent of the property with boundaries on all four sides.

Get the registered letter/notice returned undelivered after that you may aproach civil court with a declaration suit to declare the extent of the plot as per the letter given by the survey department.
