Unrecorded land in possession for last 30 years. Unrecorded land in possession for last 30 years.

2 years ago

In 1992, I bought a plot of land in Haldia and built a house with all official legal procedures. The land size was shown in the deed as 13.5 decimals by misrepresentation while buying the land, but the recorded land measurement in the name of the seller (RoR) was only 12 decimals and accordingly it was registered in my name. This information was tactfully hiden from me at the time of deal. Since the purchase of the said land till now the mentioned 13.5 decimal land is in my possession without any hindrance, demand, complaint and claimant. At recent past I came to know this hiden issue. Now, how the extra land (1.5 decimals) that is currently off record (RoR) but in my possession can be legally registered or excluded from my purchased portion? How I can sale my property in such situations.

A.Dear Client,

As per the facts which have been provided, In such cases, the landowner needs to submit an application to register the property at the Land Registry Office. The owner needs to either show sufficient proof of his ownership or state the reasons why the land deeds are not present, along with stating the owner prior to him and other similar details. It is only through sufficient information and proof that registration of such properties is allowed in India.

Hope this clarifies your query and requirement.

Thank you.
