Dear Sir
I have entered into an agreement to purchase land at mominpet mandal (Ranga reddy district, Andhra pradesh). The pahani(s) show that the land is a "38E - Patta". I have obtained pahanis from 1965, all of pahanis after 1975 show the current pattedar as the patta holder with "38E - patta". Before 1975, I can see most of the survey numbers (before/after the survey number i am intending to purchase) show one name in pattedar column. So this confirms that the current owner got the land through land ceiling (Protected tenant).
I found a file number reference number in 1975 patta, when the patta was given to the current owner. Now I have made rounds to RDO and MRO and Collectorate offices to get a "Certified copy" of this file. But All of the offices say it is not their file number.
My concerns:
1. The current owner is owning the 38E patta from 1975, is it okay for me to proceed to buy the land? or do I have to obtain the 38E certificate? If so, where to obtain the 38E certificate?
2. I have inquired in the MRO/RDO offices regarding the 38E certificate, they say they don't have the files. How to obtain the 38E proceeding copy?
3. The current owner has Ac 7.20 Gunta in the passbook/pahanis. Does it mean he owns the total Ac 7.20 Gunta OR he owns the 60% of land? Please bear with me, as this is only for clarification....as some people told me about the 60%.
4. What other things I have to do to make sure I am buying the legal land. I want to do all the inquiries before registration. I have about 2 months for registration.
Thanking you in advance.
Kash
