Gramthana property

This query is : Resolved
Hello all,
My father bought a property in Mysore at Bogadi village in my name. He bought it from a farmer who sold his agricultural land in the form of sites to others. Huge piece of land was split into pieces and sold.
When I see the documents I can see only site allotment letter, possession certificate and one sheet from mandal panchayat register which mentions the khata number or jhunjuru number. My father has paid the charges at mysore city corporation also. He is no more now. I don't know why there is no sale deed. He never talked about it anytime. May be for gram thana sites there will not be any sale deed perhaps. I am not sure.
Now is there any way to know whether the plot is still in my name. When I went and asked in gram panchayat office they are not taking tax now saying that again it has been sold by that farmer to someone else and things like that. Is there anyway for me to find out what is happening with the above mentioned documents.
Kindly provide information on the same. Without sale deed is title verification possible for the plot of land. Kindly advise. Will there be any information in sub-regitrar's office for me to find out.
I have the encumberance certificate which doesn't talk about any transaction. However I am not sure if that is the right way. Kindly advice.
Regards,
Chitra

Agriculture is a state subject.
Karnataka Land Reforms Act; more so Sec;79A,79B puts restrictions.
You have posted that " When I went and asked in gram panchayat office they are not taking tax now saying that again it has been sold by that farmer to someone else and things like that. "
Apparently the hint is to some fraud.
You may ASAP approach a very able counsel specializing in revenue/property/civil matters and well versed with local laws with all docs on record and obtain considered opinion.

Contact local lawyer and discuss in detail.
Use RTI to get information from block Panchayat officer / local tehsildar / revenue department.

Thank you all. I shall do as suggested. I have an additional question. Just in case the plot is resold by the farmer is there any possibility to get it back. I will consult a lawyer. I was not sure if the documents I have is sufficient at all. I have PC, site sanction letters, tax paid receipts. I don't have the sale deed. I know the mandal panchayat khata number which is there in the mandal panchayat register page xerox which was taken. That is all. Thanks again for your inputs, help and advice

There need not be a sale deed in case of a grant or assignment by a sovereign authority. However, your father ought to have purchased the property from the farmer through a registered conveyance.
