    PTCL act misused by both parties..there are many instances in Bangalore Mysore area where land sold to multiple people and later filed cases..there is incident in surathkal where a christan family purchased land 45 years back/ built house, was thrown out of house by court/adminstration and tiltle restored to original land heirs.. Govt is happily registers , collects duty, various taxes on land registartaion, it never bothered to check whether land comes under PTCL or forgery documents...we we are global leader in IT infra but Govt dont havt any IT solution in regsitrar office to check land records of sellers..
