What is Portuguese-era records in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu?
Land references from before the current survey. Dadra and Nagar Haveli was Portuguese territory until 1954 and Daman and Diu until 1961, so older deeds can describe land by entries in Portuguese registers rather than by a current survey number. Tracing them to today's numbers is a question for the Mamlatdar's office and an advocate.
