My property is a corner south-east one. East is Main Road and South is Cross Road. The mother deed was measuring 85 * 45 with 85 being on the south side, then it got bifurcated as 1) 32 1/2 * 45 ( my neighbors) and 2) 47 1/2 * 45 (ours) and 3) 4 1/2 feet passage between this bifurcation towards the west. So totally 85 is divided into three parts. In the bifurcated sale deeds of ours it is mentioned that the passage belongs to our property and in neighbor's sale deed it is mentioned that they have retained the rights to use passage for walking(in kannada odaduva hakkannu padediruththeve). After that all other sale deeds just mentioned passage adjoining to our property in the schedule. In reality our property is only 42 * 45. Before we buy, our neighbour had already constructed the house and had left only 3 1/4 as passage. So we paid only for reality but sale deed was registered with original measurement itself. We also constructed house fully(42) without leaving any set back on that side since we already had the passage. Now so many questions arising out of this since our neighbor is now claiming that the passage belongs to him and that he has paid 50k and got the passage from their owner and we are not suppose to do any repair work on the passage side. Please answer the following questions arising out of this: 1) can we go and directly measure his property? Surely he wont allow us. 2) If he objects what are we suppose to do? Is there any legal way to first apply for measurement and then file case for reclaiming the passage? 3) Both of us being sale deed measurement different from the sanction plan and the actual construction, can we file a court case for reclaiming passage rights? Is it suitable? Pls advise. Thanks in advance.

As I said earlier my property has initially undergone bifurcation in the year 1966-67 as: 1) 47 1/2 by 45 And a passage of 4 1/2 belonging to this 2) 37 1/2 by 45 and having the rights to use the passage belonging to point 1 Now, the lawyer is asking whether I have done a khata for the passage measurement. When I checked the khata certificate, it only describes that khata has been changed to my name. It does not include any measurements etc etc. My question is, 1) if the bifurcated sale deed khata exists, how can we get a copy? 2) in case if the bifurcated khata includes the passage measurement also, does it get automatically transferred to me? 3) in case if the bifurcated khata didn't had the passage measurement, is it possible to add it now? Please answer.
1. Get certified copies of the bifurcated sale deed from Sub-Registrar's Office. Get certified copy of bifurcated Khata from BBMP.
2. If bifurcated Khata shows the measurement of 47.5 feet x 45 feet, it means that the passage of 4.5 feet belongs to you and gets transferred to you.
3. Yes it is possible if you can produce the sale deed of 1966-67 showing the bifurcation. If you apply to BBMP for Khata extract you can get it along with measurements.
