Neighbour claiming your property? Your sale deed’s boundary details could be crucial

Recently, there was a case in the Karnataka High Court involving Mr Thimmadasappa, who sold one his two plots in Bangalore to Mr K.M. Venkatamuniyappa.

This made it seem that Venkatamuniyappa owned both plots, but in reality he owned only land no. 1, while land no. 2 was never sold to him or anyone else.

Ultimately, Thimmadasappa's sons won the case in Supreme Court because Venkatamuniyappa's entire case rested on an assumption he failed to prove, that land no.1 that he had purchased from Thimmadasappa and land no. 2 that Thimmadasappa himself owned are one and the same.
