This query is : Resolved
My friend has purchased a vacant land property in the year of 1999 through a valid sale deed in chennai. Further, he planned to construct ground floor, for which he applied for planning permit and building permit in the year of 2000. The same was alloted and construction was completed and he occupied the house. On 2008, he planned to construct 1st floor on the same property and applied for planning permit and building permit in the year of 2008. The same was alloted and construction was completed by obtaining an housing loan. he occupied the first floor and rented the ground floor. Now the housing loan was closed by due payments. Now, when he is trying to apply for patta it is stated that the land is "anadeenam" land hence patta cannot be given. from the year 1999 to till date he paid all the taxes levied by the corporation. how to obtain patta for the said property

Anadheenam land means the land for which patta has been issued by revenue department , but he land was not claimed by the owner for long time and taxes were not paid for long time by the original pattadhar. These lands are therefore possessed by the Govt til the original owner claims it. (cf legalmint.wordpass.com). It is observed from the decision of the Madras High Court in G. Subba Reddy VS Commissioner of Land administration (decision dt. 09-09-2015) (legalcrystal.com/case/G subba Reddy) that if an application for reassignment of the land is rejected by the Tahasildar, an appeal lies to the District Revenue Officer as per the GO MS. No. 385 Revenue Department. dt. 17-08-2004. Hence you may apply for reassignment of the land in your favor to the Tahasildar. If he refuses you may file appeal before the Distrct Revenue Officer.under the above GO MS.

As mentioned your friend purchased the land through Registered sale deed. Whether your friend got search check of the land record of past 30 years or so to know exact status of the land?
Please obtain full record of land and its status before purchase and if the land is actually Anadheenam, move as advised by the expert.
