Dear all,
A person bought a piece of land from Co-operative Housing Society in Karnataka by means of execution of deed of sale(registered). The dimensions of the land as mentioned in the sale deed is 50 ft. x 80 ft. and it is correct. However, the total area got printed as 3700 sq. ft. which should have been 4000 sq.ft instead. I understand that the rectification can carried out by executing a supplementary/ rectification deed. This is possible, when all the parties mutually agree to such changes.
In the present case, the aforementioned Co-operative housing society has been dissolved/wounded up and is no longer into existence.
Now my query is how the error in the original sale deed should be corrected? Will the person be required to file a suit under specific relief act, since the other party to the agreement does not exist anymore? Also is he required to pay the stamp duty on the additional 300 sq. ft.? Is there any other way to get the error rectified?
Looking forward to hearing from the experts on this matter.
Thanking you in anticipation
Vijaykumar
