Update Required on 7/12 Extract Status
08-Feb-2026 (In Property Law)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased Plot No. ___ three years ago on an 11-month installment plan. I was informed that the 7/12 extract would be transferred to my name by 01-08-2023.
When I recently asked for an update, I was told that some government work was pending and that a small portion of the plot was affected during layout sanctioning due to a case raised by another party. I have now been told that all issues are cleared.
I request confirmation of the current legal status of the plot.
In a situation like this, you should not rely only on oral assurances and must take immediate legal assistance before proceeding further. The delay in transfer of the 7/12 extract, reference to government issues, and mention of a third-party case affecting the layout are all serious legal red flags.
A lawyer can conduct a proper title and revenue record verification, check whether the layout sanction, NA permission, and mutation entries are finally cleared, and confirm that no litigation, encumbrance, or acquisition issue survives. You should insist on written confirmation supported by documents, not just verbal updates.
Through legal intervention, you can also issue a formal notice seeking clarity, timelines, and accountability from the seller/developer, and protect yourself from future disputes. Before accepting any assurances or completing further formalities, legal due diligence is absolutely necessary to safeguard your investment.

Your message raises serious legal concerns.
Before accepting any assurance that “issues are cleared,” you must obtain documentary proof.
Kindly seek the following immediately:
1. Latest 7/12 extract (current certified copy)
2. Mutation entry (Ferfar) details
3. Layout approval order from competent authority
4. Copy of any case filed earlier (with case number and disposal order)
5. Confirmation that no portion of your specific plot is reduced, reserved, or under acquisition
Verbal assurances have no legal value.
If the plot was affected during layout sanction due to litigation, you must verify whether:
• Area has been reduced
• Boundaries have changed
• Access road is impacted
• Any third-party claim still exists
Until 7/12 is mutated in your name and title is clear, your ownership is incomplete in revenue records.
I strongly advise conducting a complete title search of the last 30 years before proceeding further.
If required, I can assist with legal verification and issue a formal notice to the developer seeking documented clarification.
Regards,
Adv. Jay Vijay Chauhan
