Survey Numbers

Registrar is state revenue authority who is just a custodian of registered documents.

Actually  the Sub Registrar  dont have right to go into the merits of the document. He is ahthority to admit the execution of the documents. If any litigation arises about the ownership or title property mentioed in the document, the proper authority is Civil Court having jurisdiction over the said property.

I think it is the bounden duty of the buyer to know about the vendors, their property. If the proposed buyer is more particular about investigating the title of the property, apart from E.C, there are several other ways to find out the correctness of the document. Some times, Bank Equitable Mortgages, Court Securities, Court Attachments, Decrees under specific performance of earlier sale agreements, surity offered to Criminal Court proceedings, all these encumbranes are not reflected in E.Cs. It is only register Documents, that will reflect in E.Cs. So as to Identify the property, better approach a Government Surveyor to decide about the Survey number relates to proposed property.  Making local enquiries and investigation will help to know about the encumbrances over the property. Giving paper publicaiton prior to purchase is also most important. You can search the encumrance on the basis of proposed vendor's name not on the basis of Survey number.
