1) k hata consists of all the details of property –the name of the owner, size of the buildings, location of property and other details that help to file property tax.

2) Khata transfer is done either for reason of sale of property, gift, will, or a death of property owner and such cases.

3) if Mr A had sold or gifted the property to his brothers then Mr B and C would be absolute owners of property

4) Mr X title would be clear

5) it is better you get the title documents vetted by local lawyer before purchase of the property

1. A katha transfer is no transfer of property if it is not preceded by execution of title deed. The transfer of property is possible only through a sale deed or gift deed.

2. The rights of X are not clear as the legal heirs of A can claim under the title of X.

Hi, transferring of a property through Katha is not a valid transfer at all.

2. Though the Katha has been made out in the name of B and C but they are not absolute owner of the property. When B and C are not absolute owner of the property then b can not sold the property to X.

3. X has not valid title over the property.

If the transfer of property executed by a in favor of his brothers was through a registered document, if yes, then the subsequent sale by B to X through a registered sale deed will be valid and the heirs of A cannot make any claim on it at this stage as everything has been transacted in a proper and legally recognised manner.

So what is your query?
