My co-operative housing society (CHS) got deemed conveyance from competent authority in Mumbai Suburban district after due procedure. We got it registered too. When the society applied with copy of registered conveyance deed to the City Survey Office to get society's name on the Property Card,the officer refused to do so sighting reason that society has not mentioned the last name endorsed on the Property Card as vendor of conveyance. At that very time Society realised that when it got certified true copy of the Property Card for the purpose of deemed conveyance procedure,the copy had only front page xerox showing the last name as owner of the property different from the one mentioned on the back side. That is, the photocopy given by the person at the desk was of front side only, leading our lawyer to believe that last name on the front page was that of the last owner who is deceased long ago. Actually the back side had some other entity's name as last owner.Notices sent to the deceased owner and his heirs by the competent authority had come back without acceptance and subsequently the authority issued order for conveyance in society's favour.
Now the City Survey Officer says that society must first get the error rectified.
We feel that for the no fault either of the society or of our lawyer, our redevelopment process has stalled.
What do we do now?
