Dear lawyers
Me and my parents have been living over seas for more than 40 years.My fathers mothers property which is under my fathers name(he is the only child for his parents) is in India.My father arranged his auntys daughter to pay land tax on this property on behalf of us.Recently we visited India,and found out,my fathers cousin only paid the tax until 1993 under my grand mothers name and from 1994 onwards she paid land tax under her name and her 3 other siblings name.Now we are trying to pay tax under our name,the village office refused saying,another party has paid tax in past and they cannot accept tax from us.We requested for the documents under which they were allowed to pay land tax under RTI,and the village office replied there is no documents available at the office.But verbally the officer said my fathers cousins showed a letter in white paper saying it was send by my father saying he is givin them the land.My father have not been to India after 1990 since he is unable to travel due to medical reasons.As per land registry office,no changes have been made to the title and is still under my fathers name.I also have incumberance certificate of the property for past 45 years.
Please advice how to deal with this case...
