Quick Summary

A 1964 sale deed for a vacant plot contains an error where the vendor missed the area in one survey number and manipulated dimensions in others to match the total plot area shown in the layout. With both original parties and their heirs deceased and decades having passed, rectification is being considered. However, due to the age of the case and potential practical difficulties in proving the error, legal experts suggest filing a suit for declaration might be necessary, though challenging. A thorough review of all documents by a legal professional is recommended to understand the exact situation and determine the best course of action.

Some decades have passed. Why did you keep silent all these decades?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 25 September 2025
the legal heirs are not available then you may hav to file a suit for declaration before the civil court to rectify the boundary or extent of the property on the basis of the substantial documentary evidence in yor possession, but remember that this is a very old case of more than 6 decades, hence it may not be possible for you to prove your case before court because by now the entire situation would be different and you may not be able to even identify the incorrect measurements or extent of property.
Practical difficulties may be a great obstacle.

Any meaningful suggestion requires that the document be perused and issues discussed.

More than 60 years passed, rectification is not feasible and shall not solve the purpose.
Real problem is not revealed here. The documents are to studied to understand the situation and to know whether any problem/ dispute is there or not.
Consult a good lawyer in person or send the ecopies of the documents, title deeds, revenue records, tax assessment, etc.
