Regarding: Rectification of your document
Rectification deed is a document
executed between parties for the purpose of effecting corrections of the
mistakes of facts / typographical errors which are committed in the
original/principal deed.
In one instances, one Mr. Sampath purchased a
residential site at Peenya, Bangalore
for a consideration of Rs. 4 lakhs and got the sale deed in respect of the said
property registered. After receipt of
the sale deed, he discovered that the dimensions of the property provided in
the schedule annexed to the said sale deed, were wrongly stated as “East to West 40’ and North To South as 30’”
instead of “East to West30’ and North to South 40’.” In another instance one Mr. Rajagopal
had a similar problem in the sale deed executed by him, wherein the boundaries
of property purchased by him were wrongly stated. The mistakes committed in the
above two instances are too common and are rectifiable.
However, the case of one Mr. Narasimhan was found to
be slightly different, as he has purchased two individual properties from a
common vendor under a common sale deed and thus both the said individual
properties had a common schedule, annexed to the said sale deed. Mr. Narasimhan, subsequently was shocked to
discover that encumbrance certificate pertaining to the said properties did not
reflect their individual sale, but only reflected the combined sale under a
single property schedule.
There are many such instances to
be found wherein mistakes creep into sale deeds, which are not properly
verified and compared with the title deeds, revenue records, and those are
usually documents, which are not drafted by professionals/advocates. Sometimes, the area of the property, survey
numbers, location, boundaries, municipal numbers, description and number offloors, are wrongly stated. Names of
parties are mis-spelt, consideration amount incorrectly stated, easementary
rights not being properly dealt with. In
many of such cases, the real intention of parties to the deed may not have been
reduced into writing.
Such mistakes, errors in the deeds require to be
corrected by execution of a supplementary document namely a rectification
deed. Rectification of deeds is
supported by the various canons of law and is an equitable relief usually
granted by the Court of Equity and is based on doctrine of mistake of
fact. In order to execute a deed of
rectification, there must be mutual bonafide mistake whereby the original deed
does not reflect the true intention of parties to the said deed.
More importantly the said mistake should pertain to
facts only and not a mistake of law.
However, a notable exception to the said rule is in respect to mistake of
foreign law which is considered as mistake of fact for the said purpose. Sections 20 and 21 of Indian Contract Act
deals with this aspect of law.
When the parties to deed, agree to modify, add, delete
any terms referred to in any original deed executed by them on a prior dated,
to bring out their true intentions, it is necessary to reduce such correction
into a duly executed document and to pay the requisite stamp duty in order to
get the same registered with the concerned authority.
Rectification Deeds are executed out of mutual consent
of the parties to Main Deed, and all such parties to the original deed should
jointly execute the rectification of the same. However, a problem may arise
where such mutual consent is not possible.
In such cases, the recourse is to file a suit before a competent court
under section 26 of Specific Relief Act 1963.
The said section provides for relief to parties facing the problem
stated above, where the real intention of the party is not properly reflected
in the documents executed because of a bonafide mistake of fact or fraud,
whereby either the party or his representative may institute a suit to have the
said deed rectified.
The said section also empowers the courts to direct the
rectification of an instrument, if the court satisfied that the deed does not
express the real intention of the parties.
In such cases the original deed may be first be rectified and then the
parties claiming rectification should seek sanction of the court to such
rectification in his pleading and if the court so thinks fit, the same may be
specially enforced. This relief will be
granted, only if it has been specially claimed in the pleadings. However, if the said relief has not been
specifically claimed, the court at any stage of proceedings at its own
discretion may allow the party to amend its pleadings to incorporate the said
relief. This relief is entirely
discretionary and when granted will not prejudice the rights acquired by a
third party in good faith for value.
If the original deed is registered, the corresponding
rectification deed also requires to be registered. The stamp duty and
registration charges payable for registration of the rectification deed are as
prescribed by respective states.
If the rectification deeds rectifies the mistakes of
general nature, boundaries, spellings, etc the stamp duty and registration
charges are Rupees One Hundred each, and if the rectification deed refers to
the area, extent of the property, names of the executants, stamp duty and
registration charges are as that of conveyance deed.
