Confirmation deed

I have a property in Bangalore which was previously owned by a presently US citizen who was an Indian citizen when he was the owner of the property until 2001. There were two issues.
1. In the sale deed which transferred the property to me there was an error of dimensions which were specified as East to West 60 ft instead of the correct East to West 40 and North to South 40 ft instead of the correct North to South 60 ft.
2. The GPA holder who transferred the property to me through a registered sale deed did not register the GPA but only notarized it. But the then sub-registrar allowed the registered sale deed. And now, the buyers say the GPA should have been registered and so need a confirmation deed for the sale and the GPA. We traced the previous owner who is willing to give a Confirmation Deed ratifying the said sale attested by the consul General of India in US. But now, the prospective buyer says Confirmation Deed cannot be made by a party someone outside the country. Is it true that a US citizen (OCI card holder) who was previously an owner cannot give a confirmation deed from outside of India? And what are my solutions? Thank you for your kind response.

Section 34 of registration act 1908

Original builder/developer and the original land owner sold a shop property to purchaser with registered document. After two three years this new owner of the said shop sale this shop to new purchaser. Sale deed is being registered with sub registrar. There are three parties mentioned in the sale deed 1) owner of the shop as seller 2) purchaser 3) builder ( as a confirming party) there is no any intrest mentioned in the document as why he is confirming this sale deed. Purchaser and seller present at the time of registration. Sub Registrar registered this agreement in the absence of third party (confirming party) after some period registrar refuse the registration under section 34 of registration act 1908.
My queries are,
1) can this sale deed is considerd as unregistered sale deed
2) after refusal from registration office is that sale transaction automatically cancelled.
3) can original owner resale the said property to any other person-

Correct a frontage measurement error

Hi everyone, I’m seeking guidance on a land dispute involving my family’s property. Here’s the situation:

In 2006, during the subdivision of our family land, the frontage measurement was entered incorrectly. The correct frontage should be 8.8 meters, but it was mistakenly recorded as 7.1 meters, and the rest was added to the path (5 lyncs, or 3.2 feet), making the path wider than it should be. Due to this error, only 9 cents are reflected in the wrong measurement, while we actually have 11.75 cents, which is properly documented in the mother document ("thaai pathiram").

We didn’t notice this issue until recently when we decided to measure the land and build a compound wall. Unfortunately, this wrong measurement would require us to demolish part of our existing old house.

To complicate things further, there is a 5 lyncs (3.2 feet) path leading to the back property, and the owner of the adjacent property (my father’s brother) has built a two-storey house on the 5 cent land (Survey No. 132/1) that belongs to us. When we brought a surveyor to measure the land, they refused to allow it. They argue that the wider path benefits them because it allows larger vehicles to pass, which is an advantage for their access.

My father has suffered a heart attack due to the stress from these land issues, and I’m determined to find a solution. The land details are as follows:

Survey No. 128/2 (11.75 cents)
Survey No. 132/1 (5 cents, currently occupied by the neighbor)
I need advice on how to:

Correct the wrongly entered frontage measurement in the land records (7.1 meters to 8.8 meters).
Reclaim the 5 cents of land that the neighbor has encroached upon and built their house on.
Deal with the neighbors who are refusing to allow the survey to be done.
Any legal or administrative advice on how to move forward would be greatly appreciated. I’m determined to resolve this issue and reclaim our family’s rightful property. Thank you in advance for your help and support!

Society redevelopment

Dear Sirs/Madams,
After redevelopment of a CHSL in Mumbai, does the Property Tax rate for all members new and old get calculated at a new prevailing rate or old members continue to pay at the old rate?
Seek your kind response.
