Dear Experts,
Two weeks back govt surveyor came to survey my property once survey is over he got my signature and my mother thumb impression on few blank papers as a proof of survey. I'm not sure whether these papers are just blank papers or stamp papers or non judicial stamp paper or any other valid empty document, since head part of these document is covered with other documents. we both signed on these documents. Now i realized that he may misuse my documents illegally. Is it possible to misuse at any cost?Is it possible for some one to hold grip on property or finance by just holding this unregisterd blank papers? If so what you want me take next action for a precaution to declare them null and void? Thanks in advance

If misused, you may have a remedy depending upon the facts and circumstances, but not an easy one.

Yes the signatures on blank documents, if done, can be misused. Consult local lawyer.

Though you may apprehend him to misuse the duly signed blank papers for his wrongful gains, you can always challenge it if you are not at fault. But you should come out with facts that why at all a surveyor take signatures on blank paper? Were you so much afraid of him that you did not ask him the reason for obtaining signatures in blank papers.
I go by the views expressed by learned expert Mr. Anirudh.
