It would be better for you to take proper legal guidelines by showing complete files of your case to an advocate so that you can take a right path to handle your issues. Vague answers will not give you the exact relief .

1. The actual measurement during final decree proceeding often varies and if the difference is minimal as in this case it is of no consequenses.

2. So the defendant can not raise the dispute much and in any event the report is not going to be cancelled.

3. However the division of proeprty among co sharers must be as per the preiminary decree and the extra land , if any, may be left open for common usage.

4. If it is a typing error then it can be corrected with the leave of the court.

the difference is neglible and may not be amenable to any challenge

however an application either singly by you or jointly with defendant can be filed in court seeking clarification on the area measurement and rectifcation of the same, if any
