HI,
ReplyDeleteThe amount of corruption and mischief in the survey department is more than the psc appointment. Some of the cases are even more than crore. i am working abroad and muyself is a culprit. My own brother made a ALC subdivision sketch with 23% of my land as belongs to him. This land was having clear boudnaries, partiotion sketch but not registered. I came to know recently and in real shock of what to do
You file a petition before the Thaluk Land Surveyour for measurement of your property on the basis of the title deed. If re survey is completed in that area, you can file petition before the re survey superintendent for demarcation of your land. Thereby you can fix the boundary and construct boundary walls and protect your property intact. You can do it by your power of attorney holder, here in India. No need of physical presence. If further delay from dept., you can file a Writ Before the High Court.
ReplyDeletehi,
ReplyDeletewhen I went to remit the tax for the current year
I found the tax collected was less and the reason the village officer informed was that as per their fresh records after resurvey, my property has diminished by about 30 cent and advised me that this has to be rectified.

ReplyDeleteYou can approach re-survey adalath. Or you can file petition to correct the anomaly as per surveys and boundaries act.
ReplyDeleteYour prior deeds need also to be verified.
I have a property on Pattom - Kuravankonam road in Trivandrum. The resurvey field work was over by 2006 and it was to have been implemented by 2007. Still not happened! When is it likely to be implemented? Can the records be tampered with before the implementation?
ReplyDeleteEven if you file complaint ,the authorities would say there is shortage of survey staff ,and won't come
DeleteFile an application under RTI to the concerned re survey office.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar issie...same pattom keshavadasapuram road......if the resurvey is not finalized,and a lot of people are affected,can the procedure be speeded up.....I mean to change the not final state to final state??
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if you come to Trichur to meet you personally. Or any friend of yours who can help me with re survey issue case? Lots of trouble because of resurvey.
One of my colleague belong to Thrissur. But he rarely go there. U can call be over phone. Or let u know the alternative.
ReplyDeleteHello sir,
ReplyDeleteCan the re-survey adalaths be done at any time after finalising?.I heard that there is a time limit after which the land measurement cannot be done without the consent of both parties in dispute.I mean if one party is not co-operating then the land cannot be measured.Is that true?.
You can file a suit for fixation of boundary on the basis of title deeds.
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteMy neighbour managed to file a complaint in the survey office to get back the land lost to him during re-survey.Even though our properties are adjacent to each other, after getting his lost land back, the small strip of land about 70 cm wide(that is supposed to be ours) was falsely registered to fictitious owner (a maharaja) and set aside as a path, now after the neighbour's property and this small strip of land comes our property where we constructed a building long ago. The neighbour has submitted a complaint in the corporation office stating that we have not given a setback after this above mentioned 70 cm wide pathway (this 70 cm wide pathway actually belongs to us) but we did not claim it when we lost it to resurvey. in order to protect our building before corporation initiates some action against us , we need to get back the this 70 cm wide path that we lost during resurvey. Could u please suggest how can we even start?
i have a problem,my father purchased before 10 year,5 cent as a triangle shape of land.now after resurvey that land area is less than the document when we purchased.problem is taken place on one corner.our one nabour is taking little advantage for this corner as for his pathway.what i will do for this issue,where i can compliant the re survey issue?
ReplyDeleteIf your land is reduced after resurvey, you can file petition under Kerala Surveys and Boundaries Act / Rules for rectification of the anomaly. You can also move Writ Petition for following up. You can also file an injunction suit against the neighbour who is trying for trespass.
ReplyDeleteWe have two registration documents for two plots. One is too old of 35 cent and another one is 10 yr old of 6 cent. There is a problem in the new plot of 6 cent.ie resurvey shown as less than the actual. These to plots are in my father's name and he is no more. Now i would like to register one document (35+6=41 cent) in to my name. How i can resolve this resurvey issue i mean after registration in to my name or before
ReplyDeleteYou can make a sale deed by adding the measurement and extent of the property which you pay the basic land tax. You can also mention the previous title deed measurement and actual measurement in the new deed.
ReplyDeleteOr you can move under the provisions of re survey anomalies to add the lost portion of your land in to your possession
our road was too narrow for about 60 years(as per our grandparents) and 25 years ago we handed over to panchayat for tarring purpose by adding more lands from our properties.Recently we got sketch of our area from survey &land record office and we shocked to see that it is 6 meter(from ladder readings,30links)wide road.We learned that our area was not resurveyed in 1966 survey,and this was from 1927.How this kind of magic is happening?
ReplyDeleteIf it is corrected one then where from we get original sketch to rectify this?
If the property is surrendered to the Panchayath for the purpose of making road, it must have been entered in the register maintained in Panchayath office. You may check the register, to see the width and lie of the road.
DeleteWhat are the steps to be followed for fixing boundaries of the land owned by my minor son. Where there is any form for the application
ReplyDeleteapply for fixation of boundary under surveys and boundaries act.
DeleteI have a doubt regarding the type of land. the land is described as nilam in the adharam. but it is actually parambu. the owner says that it can be coverted to parambu in the next resurvey. is it possible?
ReplyDeletepls advice
Usually, conversion in the nature of land are seen done in the re survey. In resurvey,the nature of your land can be changed. Also you can check the present status of your land by entering the survey number in the Gov records. It can be done online.
DeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteWould like to know.. How to check this online ? using the Survey no, thanks
why doesn't govt punish those irresponsible employees who made resurvey mistakes in the first place,The employees union have the backing of only employees who make up less than five percent of the total population of kerala and they are blackmailing 95 % percent of the population.
ReplyDeleteCommunist parties are only interested in the welfare of of govt employees and their leaders because they contribute a portion of illegal bribes to party funds while common man is suffering.
i have an ancestrol property in thrissur 18cents as per sales deed. i serve in indian armed forces and stay away from kerala. we had demarked poles of our boundary. however our neighbours took advantage of our prolonged absence and now the markation poles dis-appeared towards our boundary in east side. also they now applied for survey of their land. however to my shock, i was conveyed by taluk surveyor that my land is only 16cents as per survey sketch and i am entitled to only that, as there is no physical land available. my western and northern boundary is road. what shall i do now to get my land back.
ReplyDeleteYou can file a suit for fixation of boundary on the basis of your title document and recovery of the property from those who are in possession of your property.
DeleteDear Sir, I have constructed boundary wall in my residential plot,after watching the boundaryline of my neighbour with his consent.After he remooved his boundary and taking canal water very close to my wall.Now water is passing through the boundarywall to my plot and can damage the wall.I requested him to do something to protect the wall but he is not ready. If anything I can do leagally.
ReplyDeleteyou can file a petition under section 133 of CRPC to the Sub Divisional Magistrate (RDO) or to the local body Secretary.
DeleteI have a plot of 20 cents. Myself and family are NRIs and due to prolonged stay outside the said land's one-side boundary mark is disappeared. In the recent resurvey they have assessed only 16-3/4 cent. I came to know this only when I went to village office to pay the tax. I have made a complaint to Taluk Land Survey office and I had to return to Gulf. They assured that they will verify and inform my brother, but no response so far. Then I sent email to District Collector, Revenue Minister, Norka, but no response from anywhere. Could you please advise me what to do next.
ReplyDeleteFile a Writ Petition in High Court for directing the Re survey authorities to act upon your application
DeleteOne peace of land cut in to three as part of inheritance in 1985. I decided to put up a boundary. As an NRI I am getting all kinds of problems. I want to resurvey the land and get a resolution so that I could construct a wall.

ReplyDeleteHi Sir,
ReplyDeleteIn 1974 my dad bought a piece of land measuring 1 cent as pathway for getting vehicular road access to our house from the plot adjacent to our pathway at that time which measured only 10 links wide.The document has not been registered at that time since he constructed wall to the seller and the amount involved was very small. The document exists as agreement in my posession. The property is in our posession.
Can I get it registered. How can I regularise it and get the ownership?
Both the parties to the agreement are deceased.
RAM
You have to create a title deed through the legal heirs.. or in case of dispute you can claim easement rights.
DeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeleteCan you give me your email id. please..I am an NRI. I have some issues due to the area noted in the resurvey is incorrect.

Sir, We had purchased 8 cents of land in trivandrum a few years back.In the document it was mentioned that it is of 8 cents. We hadn't measured it then. Now we have made a partial agreement to sell it. We wrote an agreenment that the said 8 cents will be sold to the buyer. But after resurvey it was found that the total land is close to 9 cents. Will the buyer pay us the balance amount or it is not correct to ask them to pay-Kumar
ReplyDeleteYou can claim the land on actual measurement. Normally, the term in the agreement for sale will be ____ per one cent of land. The additional land which is not in title can also be beneficially enjoyed by the owner.
ReplyDeleteIt is very useful to have a service like this. Thank you very much. I seek your kind advice on the following -
ReplyDeleteI bought a plot in Kakkanad along with my sister in 1994. Though the registration was done, mutation application was given only in 2007. It was received as a survey adalat file at Distirct Survey office, Ekm. After moving to Alwaye office and back to district office it was finally traced in Kanayannur Taluk survey office. In the meantime survey was done from Alwaye in 2008. After clearing some complications relating to sub division etc not caused by me which took over two years and a lot of follow up (but no bribe) now they say that the surveyor's documents show about 1.5 cents more than the document. The HS has been saying he will check but he neither kept his appointment given a month ago or is picking calls. What official recourse do I have(other than bribe) in getting the mutation done? Is there a complaint redressal mechanism?
file a Writ Petition before High Court
Deletehow long it take to HC to consider the writ petition and may I know what is the charges
DeleteMy father bought a property in 1964, build a house and compound wall on all sides and has been in possession of the land. When the reseurvey sketch was taken it showed a road going inside our property on one side. But when it was bought there was no such road and the document also did not refer to any such road. That is the reason why we build compound wall built around itself without anybody raising an issue. The BTR shows a sub-division consisting of the road in front (public road) and the road in the side (inside our plot). The document gives the area as '--- cents and more'. In those days the area was not measured in detail and the price is not given in cents but only the total value. On digital survey it is known that even after excluding the said road, there is the area mentioned in the document. What is the real status of this so called road which is and has been part of our plot for 50 years? How to get title for the same?
ReplyDeleteHow can i know the name and address of the current owner(s) of the plots that are located at the boundaries of my plot ?
ReplyDeleteIs there any web site or web service of the survey department where i can find these details?
Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have purchased 16 cents land 30 years ago with clear boundaries. For the past 22 years I have not paid land tax as I was abroad. Recently I went to village office to pay tax, they said as per resurvey my land is only 14.4 cents. Then I did actual measurement with the help of a village office staff, the land is 16.75 cents (means it is actually more than what is in the deed).
1. How can I get this anomaly corrected? Should I appeal for 16 cents or 16.75 cents?
2. If I pay land tax now as per 14.4 cents, will it mean that I accepted the re-survey and I will lose opportunity to appeal?
3. Is there any deadline (time-limit) for filing appeal?
Will be thankful for your reply.
You file a petition for correction of anomaly before the Survey Authorities. You can also approach the HC for getting a direction, producing the copy of the said petition.
ReplyDeleteRecently there was a survey conducted by the survey department for identifying theencroachments in the "poramboku land" adjoining the road near to my house. They found that I have encroached 40 centimeters into the road as per the new survey records. But when I collected the old survey records from the archives department, I found that there is no encroachment as per the old survey records. I would like to know that whether there is provision to depend on old survey record for fixing the boundary of my land?
ReplyDeleteIf there is any anomaly between the old survey and re survey, you can filed petition under surveys and boundaries act to rectify the anomaly
DeleteSir,

In title deed we have only 6.5 links(2.01168 meter)pathway to our house. Title deed was prepared in 1962. In resurvey the pathway is 2.6 meters and in actual the pathway is 3.7 meters.

ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have 4Acr land and my old survey number is 2374, 2371, 2377.
After resurvey they put 237/1AB.
After few years they done another survey and i got another resurvey number in my land tax document, 182 -1 and 182-4.
Now my latest land tax bill my latest resurvey number is 182/1-1, 182/1-2, 182/1-3, 182/1-4. (Total 4Acr)
Last week ,when i went to subregistrar office to check the fair value of this property.
That time they are telling this 182/1-1 is not your propery, its marked as Govt. property.
If i deduct this 182/1-1, 1Acr is less from my old property.
In this situation what can i do.
Thanking You,
Binu

Deletesir,
ReplyDeleteWe have a land property in kottayam district , and a road is passing through this property. this road ends at an another persons property. we lives in very rural area of a gramapanchayath .....Actual width of this road is 3 Mtrs . and this road was a private road till before 5 months when we surrendered this road to gramapanchayath .we surrendered road only with 3 Mtrs width (10 feet ) [ I Think 10 feet is enough for gramapanchayath ] .
In last week taluk surveyor is came to our place and fixes the width of road .using Resurvey Plan .
he fixes the road width an average of 5 meter , and 6 meter in 2 points we lost our one row rubber trees.
we asked to taluk surveyor about this anomaly
Taluk surveyor says-: It is the mistake in resurvey in 1978 ,I'm helpless " A person moved an application to RDO to fix the Bountaries Of Road so we came to here and does our duty".
We approach the thahasildar and he says "submit a complaint to district collector about this survey anomaly he can ony help you"
somebody told me "complaint to the collector is very difficult ,it takes more time to come decision ,and without political influence we dont get justice
Now What we can do sir ?
can we correct the resurvey Plan via. applying to district collector ?
If you find the proceedings before the Collector, time consuming, you can file a Writ Petition before the High Court to get speedy disposal of your petition.
