• Land purchased when i was minor

My father purchased a plot in 1969 and registered in my name when I was a minor of 14 yrs age.He had never informed about this to me but accidently found the document recently and through a agent tried to locate the plot. All ECS from 1969 till date refelects my name only but because there was overlapping in survey nos the complete layout originally shown in my document is not talling now .There was an open area allotted for park in my plan but now a house is built on it and in my plot there is a house constructed and they have all the documents of registration.My agent says this has happened due to overlapping of the survey nos so he says that due to the mistake of the GHMC if there is still open land not claimed till now they can allot a land equivillant to as per our document area after giving due notice .There is still open land there which may be left for the park as per orginal plan..So I want to know what my agent says is correct and how far it will stand in court if somebody in future objects or claims the allotted land..Secondly I have a sister born in 1970 whether she can claim a share in this land has she got a right in it

Issue legal notice to GHMC as advised by your agent

If you are owner of plot GHMC could not have allotted it to another person

GHMC has to allot you alternate plot

Your sister can claim share in the plot as you had no source of income at that time

The property was purchased under a registered sale deed in your name by your father during your minority.

However since you have become major and also have become aware of the property only now, you can very well file a suit for declaration of your title and possession along with an injunction application.

First ascertain the new survey number corresponding to your old survey number and take out an extract of encumbrance certificate after which you can approach an advocate for filing a suit as suggested.
