        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 mother’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 person’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 don’t match

        Because of this mismatch, our patta now wrongly includes another person’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!
