Quick Summary

A landowner in Tamil Nadu purchased agricultural land in 1987 via an oral agreement and sale deed, paying all taxes and maintaining possession since. However, the Tahsildar has rejected the Patta application, demanding the parent deed in addition to the sale deed. While the current possession and cultivation are documented, the lack of a registered partition deed and the missing parent deed are the key issues. Advice suggests trying to obtain the parent deed from the vendors, securing an indemnity bond, or appealing the Tahsildar's decision, especially given the long period of undisputed possession.

What happened to the parent deed?
Even though your vendors had orally partitioned the property, they should have some documents to prove the title to the property that ws sold to you.
Now your problem is thqt you purchased the property in the year 1987, but you never verified the documents then nor had taken a proper legal opinion before buying the property.
Even now you can approach the vendor and procure the original title documents otherwise ask them to give an indemnity bond that the original was lost and that they will indemnify you so that the revenue department can be notified accordingly.

The share of land from an oral agreement and partition, but not registered. So you could not purchase it. Why did you take a long time to apply for a patta? It is essential/compulsory to obtain some documents to prove their property that was sold to you. You request the Tahsildar to give a notarised affidavit that the land has been in your possession since 1987.

Since you are in possession of the land for last 38 years and you have been cultivating it, which is endorsed in revenue records (farad girdavari) since then, tehsildar has to accept it.
Even if partition is oral but none of the LR /sibling has claimed / disputed your purchase and possession, accordingly view of Tehsildar is invalid and illegal. File an appeal against the decision of Tehsildar.
