Revenue Court Case API for Tamil Nadu

Yes. The LandLens revenue court API searches the Tamil Nadu revenue department's revenue court register for cases recorded against a survey number: patta disputes, appeals and other petitions heard by the revenue officers rather than the civil courts. Send the district, taluk and village codes and the survey number. You get back each case on the survey with its petitioner, respondent, filing date and whether it is pending or disposed. It costs 2 credits when a case comes back; a search that finds none is not charged.

A real answer from the API, trimmed to two of its ten cases, with each row shown by its plain field names only (the register's own spellings of the same values are left out).

What it returns

One call, one answer. found is false (status not_found) when the register holds no case for the survey, and then nothing is charged.

FieldWhat it holds
foundtrue when at least one case is recorded against the survey.
cases[]Each case: petitioners, respondents, filing_date, case_status (Pending or Disposed), survey_number, and case_number when the register gives one. Rows also repeat these values under the register's own field spellings.
countHow many cases are in cases. At most 15 are returned.
survey_numberThe survey that was searched, with its sub-division when you sent one.
registerAlways revenue_court for this subject.
messageThe register's own line when no case is recorded, or why the search could not be run.

Inputs

The JSON body of the POST is the arguments. Only subject is required by the schema, but this search needs the three revenue codes and a survey number. A call without them answers not_found with what is missing, and charges nothing.

ArgumentTypeWhat to send
subjectrequired string: revenue_court, civil_court, cersai, ecourt Send "revenue_court" for this search. The same call also carries the CERSAI, civil court and name searches, which have their own pages.
district_code string Revenue district code, e.g. 03. resolve_parcel (from a map point) and resolve_revenue_codes (from names) return it free.
taluk_code string Revenue taluk code, e.g. 14.
village_code string Revenue village code, e.g. 196.
survey_number string The survey number WITHOUT the sub-division, e.g. 65 for 65/4B.
sub_division string The sub-division, e.g. 4B. Leave it out to search the whole survey.
city string City / town / village (cersai: the portal requires it; if unknown, pass lat/lng instead and it is resolved automatically)
cnr_number string CNR number like TNCC01-001234-2024 (civil_court)
district_name string District NAME, e.g. Chennai (cersai)
door_no string Door number (cersai, alternative to survey)
lat number Latitude of the parcel (cersai: used to auto-resolve the PIN code and city when they are not known)
lng number Longitude of the parcel (cersai: used with lat)
owner_name string Person / owner name (cersai, ecourt)
pincode string 6 digit PIN code (cersai: the portal requires it; if unknown, pass lat/lng instead and it is resolved automatically - do NOT ask the user for a PIN code the map already knows)
plot_no string Plot number (cersai, alternative to survey)

Code

Set LANDLENS_KEY to your key. In an AI app, connect https://verified.realestate/mcp once and ask in plain words instead. In Postman, download this API's collection, import it (File, Import) and set apiKey.

Responses

Every answer has the same envelope. What status can say for this call:

statusWhat it means
okAt least one case is recorded against the survey. Charged.
not_foundNo case is recorded against the survey, or the codes or survey number were missing, or the register could not be reached (message or error says which). Not charged.
insufficient_creditsHTTP 402, with the credits needed, your balance and where to top up.
errorThe call failed on our side. Nothing is charged.

Where the data comes from

Register

The revenue court register the Tamil Nadu revenue department keeps against survey numbers: petitions on land heard by the Tahsildar, the Revenue Divisional Officer and the officers above them, recorded under the survey they concern.

Coverage

Revenue villages across Tamil Nadu, searched one survey number at a time, with or without its sub-division. Cases in the civil courts are not in this register; search those by CNR number or by a party's name.

How current

Live. Each call reads the register at that moment, so a petition shows as soon as the revenue office has entered it.

How we read it

The register is searched for the survey and sub-division you send, and up to 15 cases are returned. The register writes the status as a single letter; it is spelled out as Pending or Disposed, and the original stays on the row.

Who uses it

Law firms

Add the revenue court position to a title opinion: a pending patta dispute is a question for the seller before the sale deed, not after.

Banks and NBFCs

Screen a survey for revenue litigation at the same time as the EC, before the file reaches the advocate.

Land aggregators

Run every survey in a block through the register and set aside the ones with pending petitions.

Limits and good practice

  • Revenue courts only. A civil suit over the same land is in the civil courts; search it by CNR number or by the party's name.
  • The register files cases by survey number, often without the sub-division. A case on survey 119 may concern a neighbouring sub-division; read the parties before treating it as a case on your parcel.
  • No case recorded is not a clean title. It means the revenue register holds nothing against this survey.
  • Many revenue court rows carry no case number or court name. The parties and filing date are what identify the case when you ask the revenue office for it.
  • At most 15 cases are returned for one survey.

Pricing

2 credits per answer

A search costs 2 credits when it returns a case. A search that finds no case, or cannot be run, is not charged. Credits come from the same LandLens wallet as the chat and the minis. How billing works.

Questions

Is there an API for revenue court cases in Tamil Nadu?

The revenue department publishes its revenue court register as a search form for one survey at a time. LandLens searches it for you and returns the cases as JSON, over plain HTTPS or as an MCP tool your AI assistant can call.

What is a revenue court case?

A petition on land heard by revenue officers (the Tahsildar, the Revenue Divisional Officer, the District Revenue Officer) rather than a civil court: patta transfers contested, boundary and classification disputes, appeals against revenue orders.

How much does it cost?

A search costs 2 credits when it returns at least one case. When the register holds no case for the survey, nothing is charged.

Do I need the village codes?

Yes. Get them free from resolve_parcel (a map point) or resolve_revenue_codes (district, taluk and village names), then send them here with the survey number.

Does it cover civil court cases too?

No. Civil cases are searched with the same tool under subject civil_court (by CNR number) or subject ecourt (by a party's name).
