After you purchased the property jointly did you partition the property? If not then how could she sell a portion of the property because without partition a sale deed cannot be generated as no demarcation has been done. 

If the property was partitioned then after partition a different no must have been issued. These issues must be solved by going through the register in tge revenue court.

Land record dose not decide title. No question to your ownership, apply through advocate for correction of records as suit. Confirm correction.

1. Apply for Govt. Survey and for Layout Plan, with the Tahsil TLR office (not private survey) with all relevant supporting documents.

2. Based on Govt. Survey Report and for Layout Plan, file Appeal for amendment into the demarcation and rights of all land holders.

3. IF above fails, THEN file Declaration Suit in local Civil Court with Survey Report and all other supporting documents, for directions to Tahsil office, to make corrections /amendment in the revenue records.

Is there a case pending before court in this regard?

If so what is the nature of suit and who file it, you or some other person?

Well, you may have to issue a legal notice to the revenue department stating that you have been troubled and tortured regularly whenever you visited them for rectifying the correct dag number or patta number of your property.

Instruct them to rectify the same within a week from the date of receipt of this notice, if they fail to do the same you may approach court of law seeking direction to the concerned revenue authorities to rectify the same and for other related reliefs.

If nothing resolves by complaining and filing application and RTI in said department then you need to move the high court under writ petition

1. You can ask the tenshildar to demarcate the same
2. The tehsildar can appoint a land surveyor and he can measure your portion of the land. 
3. If he does not listen then file a complaint to the collector, then last option is to approach the civil court.
