        Hi,

        I really need some guidance regarding a long-standing patta issue in Sulur, Coimbatore.

        My parents have been living in our house since 1993. The land (6 cents) was in my motherโ€™s name, and she passed away two years ago. We only had a Thoraya patta and were not aware of the online patta system.

        Last year, we did a partition between my father, brother, and me. When we received the online patta, we were shocked to see an unknown personโ€™s name included along with ours.

        After checking:

        -Our documents show subdivision 24

        -But the FMB sketch shows our land as 23

        -Village office records and survey records donโ€™t match

        Because of this mismatch, our patta now wrongly includes another personโ€™s name.

        For the past 1 year:

        -We have visited village and taluk offices multiple times

        -Submitted several applications (all rejected without clear reasons)

        -Were asked for a large bribe, which we refused

        -Hired a lawyer,he did so many applications and then submitted a case in the court. The court case was dismissed on technical grounds

        All we are asking for:

        -Correction of subdivision number

        -Patta transfer to legal heirs

        My father is in his 70s and has been struggling with this. I live outside India and even took 2 months off from work to follow up in person, but nothing has moved.

        Now the lawyer is suggesting going to the High Court to file a writ petition.

        Questions:

        -Has anyone faced a similar issue?

        -Any escalation options that actually work?

        -Is this kind of delay normal?

        -Has anyone resolved similar patta/subdivision issues?

        -Is going to High Court effective?

        -Any way to escalate this?

        Any help or guidance would mean a lot.

        Thank you!
