• Land less than what is mentioned in government record

Hello sir/ma'am,

I had 27 guntas of land under my name out of which 15 guntas were sold off and I should have ideally been left with 12 guntas of land. On measuring the land after many years it was found to be 9 guntas instead of the 12. Im seeking help for two questions that I have.

1.Is there any way to find out where I lost the 3 guntas.
2. Is it possible to trace the initial 27 guntas and also the 15 that had been sold so that I can get to know about clear picture.

Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you

Yes sure you can get your data from your Tahasil through Lekhpal in your area and also get information about your khatauni that how much land you have now.

Some times Rakva of land may mismatch in record so you can clear from your tahasil

First, you can get an old layout plan from the government office. Where you can find how much total land was with you, In that old plan,, its must mention the length, width, and breadth of the land portion.

 

Later on, compare the same old plan with what you have sold: about 15 guntas. Here, the picture will be clear to you.

Dear Client,

1. To ascertain where the three guntas were alienated, you should always gain access to the first sale document and all subsequent sale or transfer documents. This will provide an outline of the real estate that was sold in terms of area and demarcation. Also, it may be wise to seek the services of a surveyor to survey the rest of the land in a bid to note some of the irregularities or existence of some people’s encroachment.

2. By referring to the records in the local revenue office, one can hope to find out more about the property’s origin and find the trail of the first 27 guntas and the next 15 guntas sold. These records will indicate all the registered transactions and status of the change of ownership of the land in that particular region and present you with a record of the necessary information about the land and its present status.

You submit an application to the land revenue department requesting to survey and give you a report of your land.

Once the government surveys the land and measures your land on the basis of the revenue records and registration documents pertaining to the property and will submit the report, you can then verify the information and correctness of your remaining property.

1. As per law, a landowner has his right to request and obtain a land survey of their property, as well as to access and use the survey results and documents.

- Hence, you can move an application before the Revenue department for survey of the complete land on the ground of short of 3 guntas of land.
