Release deed validity and enforce

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 11 August 2021 This query is : Resolved 
1. In 1974 my grandmother applied Form 7 (under Karnataka Land Reform Act-Occupancy rights) for Land ownership. This Property was tenanted property (Mulageni & Chalgeni)
2. As per the Form 7 process the entire tenanted property vested with the State Govt.
3. In 1975, my grandmother executed the release deed in the year 1975 on entire above tenanted property in favor of her eldest daughter(my mother) with consideration amount Rs5000, which was registered with sub-registrar and mutation entries completed in the record. Paid consideration amount in front of sub registrar. Also members of the family - legal heirs also given the consent and signed in the release deed.
4. In 1980, Form 7 become Form 10 - State Govt passed the order and declared Grandmother as owner of the entire property and updated the land records.
5. In 2007, grandmother passed away
6. In 2019, grand mother’s legal heirs some how showing the death certificate of grandmother and updated everyone’s name Karnataka RTC(Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops) with their names.

Question: When the Release deed was created, property in concern was vested with State Govt. Can I now enforce the release deed and update my mom’s name in the property (RTC). Is the release deed valid?

Your mother require to file a suit for declaration that she is owner of the property and for mandatory injunction to mutate her name in the record.

Yes, your mother ma file a declaratory suit. The entries in the revenue records do not create or determine title to property.
