Move a complaint with the local police in the present matter.

If these people try to interfere or inter meddle with your possession over this plot, approach the civil court and seek a restraint order against them

If the land you are in possession is wrongly possessed by you the owner can take steps for possession.and you can proceed against seller for retification and correct possession of the property.

Yes if the mutation of land is in your favour it proves your possession over the property over said survey number.

Hello,

mutation certificate, holding no. Does not establish the title. If it is established that you are unauthorised occupation then they can file a case against them.

As per Indian law it is the duty of the buyer to check the title of the land and confirm that the title of the land is clear. This is known as principle of caveat emptor.

1. Apply to the local collectors /Tahsildar office, for proper land survey (under due notice to all the parties) and compare the same with the records of the revenue dept.

2. Based on above file FIR with the local Police, for encroachment, trespass and intimidation. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

1. FIRSTLY you committed an error by buying land without proper prior-survey report and demarcations. Now you cannot do anything about it.

2. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud against the person, supported with all relevant supporting documents.

3. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.

If your father purchased the property by a registered sale deed, he need not worry, let that somebody file a case against him and prove their title, which can be challenged properly as per law.

Or e3lse your father can even file a declaratory suit to declare his title by a court order.

What to do if the settlement office demarcates that my land is not at the location where I am right now possessing? Whether the seller is responsible to do necessary correction in the deed? We are having mutation certificate, holding no. in our favour.. Does it prove our possession?

If the property has been properly mutated in the local land revenue department then there is no necessity for the settlement department to demarcate the same as per their will an wish.

Your father can challenge the same in the court of law if the same is adverse to your holding

If the survey office determines that my land is located at different place, what should I do? I can't take the refund from the seller as it will be a loss. What are the other options available? What action can be initiated against the seller?

You can lodge a criminal complaint agaisnt the seller for cheating offences in the local police station;

Besides you can even file a money recovery suit by cancelling the registered sale deed due to the said reasons, or else you can ask the seller to identify the proeprty and its location.

You should take possession of your land at that place but check survey numbers at mentioned in the sale deed

If seller has cheated you in case then a case of cheating and breach of trust fraud can be filed along with a suit to recover the amount with interest.

If he refuses file police complaint against him for cheating under section 420 of IPC
