For how much area, payment has been made ? i meant, sale deed receipt, what is the total total are of plot. From the language of sale deed and delivery of actual possession, easily be ascertain actual are of plot sold. Can apply for rectification of area in sale deed.

No need for court interference.

1) you can take plea that you had bought 450 sq meters of land 

 

2) you have been in un interrupted possession for over 12 years

- Since, the possession was given in 2006 , with the land mark written in stamp paper measuring 450 sq.meters.

- Hence , as per law you had purchased 450 sq.meters of land and not 167 sq.meters, and that was the cause , the owner not come forward  to challege the same just after the execution of transfer documents.

-  Further, under the provisions on adverse possession , you have right to claim over 450 sq.meters due to continous uninterupted possession for 12 years.

See if sold as per the boundary then in that case court may consider the boundaries and possession and can decide in your favor.

For evidence in court the documents stating boundaries is admissible and not the actual ground on which the land is situated.

If the records differ then the government land records are to be verified.

In fact the details found in the sale deed may differ to that of the original land records held by the land revenue department.

If the matter is in couret then you can file an application to appoint a commissioner to inspect the suit property and ascertain the facts with the help of government surveyor and the revenue officer and submit his report to come to a conclusion.

This is a matter of trial in the court.

If the differences are glaring and no consensus is arrived then an advocate commissioner report will be able to solve the issue through court of law.
