D FORM PATTA SURVEY NUMBERS CHANGED

Dear Sir,
This issue involves land dispute as such you must contact local lawyer having deep knowledge in local revenue laws and circulars. Otherwise you may be misplaced. Always contact the Advocate with hard copies of related documents to get effective legal advise.

Dear Client,
To correct errors in Patta, the owner of the land needs to visit the office of the Tehashildar/Taluk to apply along with supporting documents such as sale deeds, property tax receipts, and any other relevant documents that prove the correct information. He may need to fill out a correction form and pay a nominal fee. Sometimes, a court order is required for the correction of mismatches/errors in the land records. As per the topographical land survey, layout marking and demarcation are done, inclusive of roads, plots, commercial spaces, and extra spaces for public use, etc. The demarcation is almost purely a technical operation, carried out jointly by the surveyors, acting as boundary engineers, of both parties. Post-survey of the land, a unique survey number is allotted for plots based on the topographical location of the land. Property demarcation means physically dividing the property into metes and bounds (i.e., the area and boundaries of each property will be made), the rules and procedure of which may vary from state to state. Only the recorded owners of the property can apply for demarcation to the Tehshildar/Land Revenue Officer, or it can be done on orders from a Court. But, a survey of land and allotment of a new plot number post-survey does not change the class or status of land which is acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, by the Government for public purposes. Section 26 of the Act consists of provisions that govern compensation for the landowners. It defines the proposed minimum compensation based on multiples of the market value of the land. The market value is usually multiplied by a factor of one or two times for land acquired in rural and urban areas. The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act (RFCTLARR Act) of 2013 provides guidelines for determining the compensation for rural land. The Deputy Collector (Land Acquisition) was appointed as the competent authority for acquisition proceedings and empowered under Sec.23 of the Act to summon and enforce the attendance of witnesses, including the parties interested in any of them, and to compel the production of documents by the same means, and in the same manner, as is provided in the case of a Civil Court for the trial of suits. So, in the given scenario, you can file a complaint before the Dy. Collector(Land Acquisition to resolve the issue in the right way. If required, consult with an Advocate to navigate the issue in the right way.
