Deed of rectification has to be executed duly stamped and registered by seller to rectify mistake in sale deed 

2) If seller is not traceable then file suit 

before a court under Section 26 of Specific Relief Act 1963. The law provides for relief to parties in case the real intention of the party is not properly reflected in the documents executed because of a bona fide mistake of fact.

. The court can direct the rectification of an instrument, if it is satisfied that the deed does not express the real intention of the parties. This relief is entirely discretionary.

Since Rectification Deed can't be done as the seller of the property is untraceable, you can rectify the mistake by executing a registered Declaratory Deed, which has to be registered in the jurisdictional Sub Registrar's Office.

In the Declaratory Deed, declare the corrections and the non-availability of the seller to execute Rectification Deed.

For query 1: You can approach the court and file a petition to correct your middle name in the sale deed to “Chandra” instead of “Chand”.

For query 2: You can approach the court and file a petition to correct your father’s name in the sale deed to “Laxminarayan Lahoti” instead of “Srikishan Lahoti”. You will have to provide sufficient evidence to prove that Laxminarayan Lahoti is your father’s name and that the name mentioned in the sale deed is incorrect.
