CLIENT WAS READY TO BUY A ₹18 CRORE FARMHOUSE PLOT IN SOHNA. OUR TITLE SEARCH REVEALED IT WAS GOVERNMENT LAND.

Client Was Ready to Buy a ₹18 Crore Farmhouse Plot in Sohna. Our Title Search Revealed It Was Government Land.

About the Client

A 45-year-old businessman in Gurgaon who wanted to buy a 2500 sq yard plot in Sohna to build a farmhouse. He had already visited the plot, liked the location, and agreed on a price of ₹18 crore. He was about to sign the agreement and pay ₹50 lakh as advance.

What Was the Client's Requirement

Before signing anything, the client's CA advised him to get a title search report from a qualified law firm. The client called us and requested to verify the property's ownership, legal status, and whether it was safe to buy.

What Our Title Search Found following problems:

• Government Land: Revenue records showed the land was classified as Shamlat Deh — village common land belonging to the Gram Panchayat. Under the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 (applicable to Haryana), this land cannot be legally sold by any individual.
• Fraudulent Mutation: The seller had obtained a mutation entry by submitting forged documents to the Patwari. When we cross checked the title chain, there was no valid sale deed, no inheritance document, and no government order transferring this land to any private individual.
• Similar Plots Seized: The Haryana government had already taken action against 12 similar fraudulent sales in the same area. Buyers who had paid money and even built structures had demolished by the government because they were unauthorized constructions.

How We Reported This

We submitted a Title Search Report with a clear recommendation: DO NOT BUY THIS PROPERTY. The report included revenue record extracts, analysis of the fraudulent mutation, details of the 12 similar seized cases, and our legal opinion that buying this land would result in total loss.

The Result

Our client didn't buy the property. He told us later: "If my CA hadn't told me to get a title search, I would have paid ₹50 lakh that morning and lost every rupee."

Client declined that property. Then client found a proper plot in a government-approved colony near Sohna with a clean title. We checked every document thoroughly before he paid a single rupee.

Planning to buy land or a plot? The seller's documents may look perfect — but only a proper title search can tell you the truth.
