Hello,

Where has he submitted the documents and who has the possession on the property?

If you are in the possession then do not leave the possession

If he is in the possession then file a suit for cancellation of the registered document and then claim the possession

If you have title deed of the proeprty owned by you then there is nothing to worry.however do keep physical possession over the proeprty. DO remember possession alone is 9/10th of title.

Let the person claiming title over your property approach the court to claim right over the property.

If the survey number is different in his title deed then there is not much matter for concern.

If you have filed a case against defendant it's your liability to prove your case. Your question is not clear why did you file a case at first instance. If he was interfering in your peaceful possession and after you have put the case if he is claiming it to be his property he has to prove it. You can get commissioner appointed by court In case if the survey number are different under order 26 of CPC. That will help your case if he's wrong suit will be decrees in your favour. First let us know why you have filed suit against defendant if you are in possession don't leave possession.

If the defendant has submitted/produced title documents of a different survey nos., this in itself implies that he's does not holds title upon the property which is owned by you.

Take the above stand in your plaint.

1. Has he filed any case?

2. If yes, then you shall have to file your written statement stating that the property details as mentioned in the document submitted by him is not the same which you are in possession of.

3. Thereafter your Advocate shall have to argue the matter and the matter will be disposed of.

4. You can also engage a local Govt approved Surveyor and get a certificate confirming that you are in possession of the land which has been mentioned in your title deed.

Well then the defendant cannot get a favourable decree from the court. If he wants the court to declare him as the title holder of your property then he has to prove the title by producing the title deed of the land. Contest his case fittingly.

What is the suit you have filed and what is the status of the suit?

If you have filed the suit for declaration of your title you should rely upon your own registered title documents and the link title documents.

During trial you establish your ownership, let him challenge the same which can be defied on the basis of documentary proofs and merits in your side.
