Dear Client
Based on your query
1. TSLR Sketch Correction: Apply to the competent Town Survey/Land Survey Authority in Dindigul for a resurvey and correction of the current TSLR sketch, enclosing the 1978 survey records, existing TSLR sketch, title deeds and partition documents. You may generally initiate the correction process while the patta/TSLR name transfer is pending; confirm the authority’s documentation requirements.
2. Sewage Pipeline Dispute: Submit an urgent complaint to the Dindigul Municipal Commissioner requesting inspection and immediate assistance to restore safe sewage drainage. The continuous use of the setback since 1975 may support an easement claim under Section 15 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, subject to legal requirements and proof. Send a legal notice to the neighbour and, if obstruction continues, seek an urgent temporary or mandatory injunction from the competent civil court. Avoid forcibly resuming work until your rights are established or appropriate permission is obtained.
Hope this answer helps!

Dear Client,
If there is a substantial difference between the 1978 survey measurement and the present TSLR sketch, you should obtain certified copies of the old survey records, current TSLR sketch, FMB/measurement records and relevant Revenue proceedings and request the competent Revenue authority for re-survey and correction, if the records support your claim.
You generally need not wait for the patta/TSLR name transfer to be completed before raising the measurement discrepancy, but the application should clearly connect your existing title documents with the property now being transferred to your wife's name.
Regarding the sewage line, if you have continuously used the route since 1975 and the pipe/chamber is necessary for discharge of sewage from your house, preserve evidence of the long-standing use and the existing physical layout.
You should first make a written request to the neighbour to permit immediate repair and avoid any confrontation or forcible work.
If the neighbour continues to obstruct essential sewage access, an advocate can issue a legal notice and seek appropriate injunctive/mandatory relief from the competent court, depending upon the title and nature of the claimed setback area.
If there is an immediate sanitation/public-health concern, you may also approach the local municipal authority for inspection and appropriate temporary arrangements.
The exact right to use the setback area will depend upon the approved plan, title documents, TSLR records and the legal nature of your long-standing use.
You may opt for a one-on-one consultation with our office for review of the 1978 survey, current TSLR records, property documents and the sewage-access issue.
Hope this clarifies your position.

Dear Sir,
- Send a legal notice to the neighbour demanding that the obstruction be removed and permitting repair/replacement of the existing sewage pipe and chamber.
- Simultaneously lodge a written complaint with Dindigul Municipal Corporation, explaining that the existing household sewage connection to UGD has been interrupted and sewage is now contaminating the soil.
- Take photographs/videos showing the old pipe, chamber, present breakage, route of the pipe and the sewage discharge.
- Collect evidence of the 1975–present continuous use—old house documents, photographs, municipal/UGD records, neighbours' statements, old repair records, tax/building records, etc.
- If the neighbour still obstructs the work, file an urgent civil suit for declaration of easementary right and permanent injunction, along with an interim application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 & 2 CPC and, depending upon the pleadings, seek a mandatory interim injunction permitting access to repair/restore the sewage line.
