Get the land measured through revenue authorities as per procedure.

The system of land Survey and Settlement is done under relevant Act of the State and Land records are prepared indicating area of the plot and rent payable to State for use of land. This record has presumptive value of correctness. This is technically called Record of Rights(RoR). From your nothing it appears that in ROR the area is 30 decimal but your vendor's claims is 31 Decimal. First change the land record status in govt record. So one of you shall have to file revision before settlent authority if not barred by time or file suit for correction of area from 30 Decimal to 31 Dec and change in your purchased area.

Such discrepencies in land meaurement is common. You are the second purchaser. Naturally, the title conveyed to you could only for the land remaining after the first sale.
