Property dispute between brothers

4 years ago

# Dispute between brothers :

My father in law lives in Tamilnadu He purchased 4 agricultural properties and one jointly with brother. His brother had purchased one Property. The amalgamated property has Patta in the name of my father in law. He had been paying Property Tax (Kandayam) for the past 40 years.

His brother is holding purchase deeds of both as ransom to demand extra land.

We have come across the following news item elsewhere :
If the Patta is in the name of a person and paying taxes for more than 12 years, Patta holder gets right of ownership irrespective of who holds the title deed
Is this is a valid opinion ? If so, can my father in law send lawyer notice to Subregistrar / brother family claiming ownership of the whole set of properties
Kindly advise
Venkatachalam

A.Dear madam,
As you said, it is not permissible because his duty is only to submit report on the basis of records produced by the company.

A.you can get a certified copy of sale deed from the office of the registrar, which has absolutely the same value as the original sale deed, moreover, you can make a police complaint against the brother of FIL for not returning the original title deeds and can also file a case in the Court
