Re: Regarding Land
it is very difficult to amend the area mentioned in the registered sale deed. But you can state the facts in the for of application to the collector office asking him to amend and register the deed freshly with enhanced stamp duty. as far as partition between the two is concerned it can be made via settlement deed wherein you can partition the area as consented by each other.
