Land Survey Tribunal & Record Correction

When a survey record, an RS or BS khatian, wrongly records your land, the place to fix it is the Land Survey Tribunal. We bring and defend record-correction cases so the official survey matches the truth on the ground.

What this covers

Survey records are prepared periodically, and errors in them are common: the wrong owner recorded, a plot merged or split incorrectly, an area or boundary wrongly entered. The Land Survey Tribunal is the special forum for disputes about the last published survey record. We use it to correct records that are wrong and to defend records that are right.

Correcting the survey record

Where the final survey khatian records the wrong person or the wrong particulars for your land, we bring a case in the Land Survey Tribunal to correct it, proving your title, possession and the correct entry. A corrected record removes the cloud that a wrong survey puts over every future dealing.

Defending a correct record

If someone challenges a record that is rightly in your favour, we defend it, protecting the entry you depend on.

A wrong survey entry does not go away on its own, and it surfaces at the worst time: when you try to sell, mortgage or mutate. The right to challenge a survey record is time-limited, so a wrong entry is something to act on, not to leave for later.

What helps your case

  • The disputed survey khatian (RS/BS) and earlier records
  • Your chain of title and deeds
  • Evidence of possession and any prior survey in your favour
  • The mouza map and any private survey

Where it is heard, and how long it takes

A Land Survey Tribunal case usually runs over months to a couple of years. Because the right to challenge a survey record is time-limited, the important thing is to start within time rather than to discover the deadline has passed.

Common questions

The new survey put someone else’s name on my land. What do I do?

You challenge it in the Land Survey Tribunal to correct the record. Act promptly, because the right to challenge a survey entry is subject to a time limit.

Is the Land Survey Tribunal different from the ordinary court?

Yes. It is the special forum for disputes about the published survey record. Other title and possession disputes go to the ordinary civil courts, and we advise on which forum your problem belongs in.

How long do I have to challenge a survey record?

There is a limited period, so a wrong entry should be acted on rather than left. Bring us the record and we will tell you where the deadline stands.

Where do I file to correct a khatian?

It depends on the error. A mistake in a mutation khatian goes to the AC (Land) by misc case. A wrong entry in the final published survey record (RS or BS) goes to the Land Survey Tribunal under the State Acquisition and Tenancy Act 1950, s.145A.

What should I do while the BDS digital survey is in my area?

Be present at the field survey (khanapuri) and the attestation (bujharat) with your deeds, khatians, mutation papers and tax receipts. If the draft record is wrong, object at the draft stage; it is far simpler than a tribunal case later.

Correct a wrong survey record

Through the Land Survey Tribunal, within the time that matters. A written assessment costs nothing.
