Legal validity of buying a governemnt grant land with no mother deed


12-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)
I own a govt. grant land near magadi main road. The previous owner had purchased in the year 1996. The layout was formed in the year 1993. It was a grant land for OBC in the year 1973. Is it safe as it has no mother deed?? They just issued me sale deed, Bkatha and paani and told that written paani acts like mother deed. I am planning to construct shops in that land. Moreover, the surrounding land has been developed to a great extent as people around have built houses.

Grant land are having complex status. There is no such grant as a OBC grant, instead there are Inam s to some village offices, and some Darkast lands. If you have the grant certificate of 1973, before any heavy investment better get it verified. But as you have already bought it you can go ahead to invest moderately on it,

The sale deed contains the details as to how the Land has been transferred from the First Owner to the subsequent owners. This will give you sufficient information as to how the land has passed on to you.Since you are mentioning that the documents, etc have not been provided to you, you can approach the BDA or the Gram Panchayat (whichever applicable) and apply for copy of the documents.
