land & revenue

milind (Querist) 10 March 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear sir/madam,
Ours is a registered co-op.Hos.Society in Andheri,Mumbai from a very long time. We all members have paid stamp duty & have seperate agreement from the builder for our flat which clearly states Free hold land. The builder owns the adjoining plot on which he has started construction.Recently a notice was received by the Chairman/Sec. from the land revenue dept. to meet the concern Officer.
On meeting the said officer it was stated that our society's name was deleted from the land revenue record & instead the builder's name was included.Now as per the recent record the builder becomes the lessor.It is but obvious that the Officer & the builder are hand in gloves.I hope my message is sound and clear.
My Question is:
1)Can an Officer make such irregular changes
2)Does it not violate our civil & legal rights.
3)Can he do so at his whims & fancies creating such a big blunder.
4)What action is necessary to get things
done from our side in legal manner to get our society's name on the land & revenue record.
Kindly Help. My email id is milindnavalkar@gmail.com

See it is not possible that the society's name can be deleted at the instance of 3rd party, no government servant is going to take this liberty only to face the music.
What may have happened is the society though registered and members having paid the stamp duties, still the land may have not been transferred to the society- but you say that the revenue officer called the society member and that the society's name is deleted.
NOW GET THE PROPERTY CARD OF THE LAND ON WHICH YOUR BUILDING STANDS FROM THE REVENUE AUTHORITIES- YOU WILL POSSIBLY GET IT FROM THE ctso OFFICE AT NEAR MHADA EXCHANGE. IT WILL SHOW ALL THE ENTRIES DONE IN LAST 30--40 YEARS.
But it is very unlikely what you have said to be true.
