- You should approach the revenue officer/collector for getting detailed information regarding that property 

- Further, if you have sale deed in your favour , then you can apply for getting patta in your name . 

- Further , if refused by the district revenue officer for converting the patta in your name , then you should file a Writ Petition before the Chennai High court for restoring the Patta and to convert the same in your name .

If you people have been served notice by the authorities concerned, then you should issue a reply denying the allegations and claim that this property belongs to you by a registered sale deed on your names.

After that you people can file a suit for declaration to declare your title on the basis of the registered sale deed on your names besides you can plead that you perfect the title by operating the  law of adverse possession too. 

Consult a local lawyer and file a suit involving all the affected people either individual or a collective suit.

Let the property be situated in any area, you have been suggested to take proper legal action  as per law.

You were advised to take legal steps as suggested.

Let the authorities tell anything about it.

You have bought it by registered sale deed hence you can fight it out strongly.

Dear sir/ma'am,

Since the error was created by the revenue authorities, you can contest the same and demand compensation. you require to hire ab advocate and discuss this matter with them to send a legal notice to the authorities and later a case against them. you need to show all the documents as proofs so keep them safe. you have a strong case and surely it will turn fruitful on your side.
