Before purchasing property, you have to scrutinize land documents by Civil advocate.what you told was happened in madurai also.recently in madurai tirunagar also.first you must ascertain your seller's title, how he got it and also ask patta,chitra, adangal,a register, tax receipt, encumbrance certificate, title deeds, no objection certificate from panchayat, now cmda or dtcp approval,whatever available.local rural bank also may gave loan, without much scrutinize your title, since you are in possession.if temple claim land from you, you can seek adverse possession, if you enjoy it more than 30 years.its a remote chance for you

Sir,
The document owned by you needs to checked first, whether the land was originally transferred to your grandfather legally?, if so you can claim your right. If not the entire details to be seen then alone your problem can be solved.

If you have all legal documents with you, pls verify with the government authorities document as how they are claiming it is a temple property? And also try to get legal opinion which is given by the Legal Advisor of the bank to know the Title and possession of the property. I feel it is a fraud claim, in that case approach civil court.

First,you must apply EC for the status of the land.and if your grandfather purchased the temple property or donated to the temple ,you can't retrieve it.otherwise,you can contact the District Revenue Officer for further details with in favourable of your EC and documents.

details given by you are ambiguous.If it is really temple land you cannot transfer it any more. Whether loan was granted by nationalised banks? because private financiers are financing money in exceptional cases too.
