Rectification by way of self rectification is valid or not?

Dheeru thakur (Querist) 17 May 2025 This query is : Resolved
Hello Sir/Madam,

Recently I have planned to purchase a property and I found some mistakes in the sale deed, the mistakes are Vendee name was wrong and the plot partition side was wrong( instead of west side it printed has east side) in only one page(naksha page) and there were no other mistakes were done in entire document. I have checked the Encumbrance certificate also and found the details were correct only. Informed the seller party about it and they said that the seller from where they purchased was not available and no idea where he is. It was the mistake done by the stamp vendor document writer while preparing the sale deed documents. And they have approached the Sub registrar on this and have done self rectification as suggested by the Sub registrar. So am planning to purchase this property or not? Does this self rectification valid or not please provide your suggestions on this so that I can proceed to purchase it else I need to withdraw it.

Quick Summary

A potential property buyer discovered errors in the sale deed, including the wrong vendee name and plot partition side. The seller claims the original seller is unavailable and the mistake was made by the stamp vendor. The sub-registrar suggested a 'self-rectification'. The advice given is that a wrong buyer name significantly impacts the title, and while minor boundary errors might be rectifiable by self-declaration, a different buyer name requires clear proof of identity. It's strongly recommended to seek legal opinion from a local lawyer before proceeding with the purchase.

If the vendee's name is wrong then it is your vendor who was a vendee insofar as that registered sale deed is concerned.
If the name is wrong then your vendor 's title is defective.
Moreover there is a change in the schedule of property as well.
You are advised to obtain a proper legal opinion from an experienced lawyer in the local before planning to purchase the property in haste.

The boundary is inadvertantly mentioned and the error is understood on the face of the document and it does not touch the root/ title of the property, self declaration is enough.

On the other hand, the name of buyer is different means, how can you prove that your vendor and the buyer in the previous deed are same. If you can establish it without any ambiguity, you can buy it.

Without seeing the sale deed, clear opinion cannot be offered please.

It is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer with relevant records for better appreciation of facts / documents, professional guidance and necessary proceeding.

Here, there are 2 omissions in the sale deed, mainly the name of the buyer is wrongly noted, to say frank, the buyer has no right over the property in my view. And if the name of the buyer is slightly different, then only a self-declaration is enough in AP at present. I don't know about other states, as the instructions are by the state government. And one boundary is also different. So, consult a local knowledge advocate with proper documents/papers.
