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.

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.
