Obtaining property ownership of deceased who has taken loans

No you have to obtain certified copies from concerned dept which is in his name i. e. Khata extract, assessment extracts etc to prove ownership, if deceased has mother alive she is also legal heir, confirm it.

If I go to the property department, they ask me to provide property information - sale deed number, survey number, village, district.. etc. I've no information on where the deceased owned properties, so how can I find out ownership information. I only know he owns several properties, but I don't know the details.

His mother is also deceased and the wife is the legal heir.

You can obtain an Encumbrance Certificate for 40/50 ( the period if you know from that date) to date from the Sub Registrar concerned paying the government required fees.  From the EC you can know the properties if he purchased or sold.

Yes. But to obtain Encumbrance Certificate, I've to provide property information, which I do not have. I only know that he has several properties, but I don't have the details of the property. If I have the property details, I can even do an encumbrance search online to check ownership record of a particular property. The registrar office or concerned department would not do a property search of an individual if I just provide name and PAN number. This is confidential information.

In such a case where I don't have property information, could I ask the court to issue an order to the relevant department to do a property search based on PAN number?

That is the only way to know which properties were owned by the deceased and which I can then attach to the case, to claim the money I've given as loan.

The court does not ask such information.  And on PAN number it is not possible to do a search either in Registrar or in Revenue departments.

It becomes your duty to provide details/ particulars of properties belonging to the deceased borrower if you intend to attach his property in order to recover your loan given to the deceased. 

There's no provision to procure the property details through any legal forum. 

You may have to look for the details through some private sources. 

Ask any one(his enemy )in his village they may furnish the properties sy no etc  take one or two items details which may cover your entire loan.

Ha ha ha... He lived in a city and not in a village and no enemies.

Jokes apart, you were advised to look for some sources who can be useful to procure the desired details, you cannot depend on any legal forum to obtain the details because there is no provision in law for that
