Introduction Dealing with attempts to usurp your property through fraudulent patta (land ownership document) transfers can be a daunting challenge. Understanding the process and taking the right steps to file an objection is crucial. Here are 10 key points to guide you through this process effectively.
10 Key Points
1. Identify the Opponent: Those attempting to encroach on or unlawfully claim your property may create fraudulent sale deeds and use these documents to file legal cases against you. They may use various tactics to undermine your ownership. These individuals are referred to as “opponents” in this article.
2. Terminology: For clarity, instead of repeatedly using the term “enemy,” this article refers to such individuals as “opposing applicants.”
3. Initial Action: If an opposing applicant files an online application to transfer the patta to their name using unauthorized documents, and you become aware of it, immediately gather your documents and draft an objection letter.
4. Submitting Objections: Send the objection letter along with your supporting documents by registered post with acknowledgment to the Tahsildar, Revenue Inspector, and Village Administrative Officer (VAO). This ensures your objection is formally recorded.
5. Follow-up: After submitting the objection letter, the officials will call both parties for a hearing. The VAO will prepare a report, and a decision will be made on whether to grant or deny the patta transfer, which will be communicated to you.
6. If Officials are Biased: If you sense that the VAO, RI, or Tahsildar are biased and might favor the opposing applicant, you should file an appeal against the patta transfer order with the Revenue Divisional Officer (RDO) and the District Revenue Officer (DRO).
7. Appeal Process: Submit a review petition to the RDO and DRO with copies of your objection letter, supporting documents, and the contested patta transfer order issued by the Tahsildar.
8. Judicial Intervention: If the review petition also appears to be biased towards the opposing applicant, consider filing a civil lawsuit to stop the patta transfer or to assert your ownership rights. This legal action can help halt the process.
9. Strategic Patience: Engage with the revenue department patiently and methodically. Ensure all communications and petitions are in written form. Persistence, unwavering belief, and a bit of courage are essential. Even if your opponent is influential, your determination can make a difference.
10. Trust in the Legal System: Regardless of the political climate or the influence your opponent may wield, trust that the rule of law prevails in India. Maintain faith in the legal system rather than fearing political or social influence.
Conclusion Facing an opponent attempting to fraudulently transfer your patta requires vigilance and strategic action. By following these 10 key points, you can effectively challenge and prevent unauthorized patta transfers. Stay patient, document everything, and trust in the legal process to protect your property rights.
