if the possession certificate, encumbrance certificate and all the deeds are correct there is no harm in purchasing the property.You can also ask the seller to initiate correction in the prior deed if it is a mistake. this can be submitted before the registrar having jurisdiction

The error is only secondary and hence need not matter, provided there are no other impediments. Does the seller accept this mistake? The document writer may be consulted whether the error could be mentioned in the sale deed.

Normally, if you approach banks for Loan by mortgaging the property, they may insist for rectification deed in such cases. However since it is prior deed's prior deed and the person who executed the same is no more, it can be ignored, provided all other details are in tact and it is convinced that it is only a typographical error in the 1994 document. It is also advised to take encumbrance certificate (EC) for the period from 1-1-1973 so that the EC will reflect the correct registration number of the property.
