► My mother bought a land from my Grand mother via a sale deed at 2009, which is having an incorrect survey number of other land of my grandmother. But later my grandmother died due to health issues. Now I want to file a rectification deed, will it be possible ? Note : My mother’s elder brother is not willing to sign the rectification deed, but other two brothers are okay to sign the rectification deed as legal heir.

Dear client,

Yes, it is possible to file a rectification deed in your case because the original sale deed from 2009 contains a mistake in the survey number. Since the mistake relates to the description of the property, it can be corrected legally. However, because your grandmother has passed away, the rectification must now be signed by her legal heirs. Your mother’s two brothers are willing to sign, but the elder brother is not. Due to this, the sub-registrar is unlikely to accept the rectification deed without the consent of all legal heirs of the seller. In such a situation, you can approach the civil court and file a suit for rectification of the sale deed. This can be done under section 26 of the Specific Relief Act. In the court, you need to prove that the error in the deed was a genuine mistake and that it does not reflect the actual intention of the sale. The court has the power to order the correction even if one legal heir is refusing to cooperate. Once the court passes an order, the rectification can be done based on that order without needing the signature of the objecting heir.

Rectification Cannot be done ….. As one of the person signed is no more….. So You will have to file a new MA Application for the typo error and get it approve from judication and you can send a final order copy in tahsildar….You will have to mention the old serve number alone with 6x12 and 7x12 Extract ….
