In 1992 under the guidance of village elders three brothers partitioned undivided property of my grandfather. On mutual agreement, my Father was given a original partition deed on a stamped paper and signed by three brothers. After retirement my Father went to take possession of the Land allotted to him. One of the brother’s, a local resident, Government Employee, with clout ensured that the Tahsildar does not help my Dad. My Father met the RDO, a honest man. The RDO ordered the Tahsildar to issue the pattadar pass book (ppb) via a Letter referring to the partition deed and facts. Tahsildar did not take any action. My Father met the Joint Collector (JC) and requested justice. Because of my Uncle’s influence the JC issued an endorsement stating the family partition deed written on the stamp paper and signed by the three brothers is not registered so not valid. As a result when-ever he approached the Tahsil office this letter is sent as a response.
Couple of years back my father read in the news-paper that Supreme Court gave a judgement in another case that partition deed written on the stamp paper and signed by the brothers is valid and should be honored. I could not locate the case but I approached the Tahsildar in March 2016. In April 2016 I got a response “in this issue there is no proper registered document as directed in the JC’s endorsement in 2001 … therefore you may be settled the matter in the Civil Court.”.
My Father is eigthy years old with Heart problems. I want to help him to make him Happy. Please advise the options. Thank you for your time and help.
