You have to mount without this file to correct the error (recreate tablespace in the restore is corrupted).
Before mounting: ALTER DATABASE datafile 'G:\ORACLE\TAU\SAPDATA1\SY

For questions like this ALWAYS say what you are trying to accomplish and what actions you took. Please show how you did the restore / recover operation.
It is vital that you restore your datafiles to the same incarnation as the controlfile.
A couple of possibilities come to mind.
1) You restored the datafiles from a previous incarnation, but did not restore the backup controlfile from the same.
2) This datafile was previously dropped and perhaps recreated? Perhaps you restored such an old copy that you got the wrong copy.
The file headers should match what is in the controlfile.
Also, unfortunately, with 9i it is more difficult to recover across a resetlogs boundary. If this were 10g, you'd have more options, but since I don't know what you are actually doing, I can only speculate.

looks like the restore was not a complete one.(Have you restored all datafiles, controlfiles? ).
Basically looks like database has a mix of files from various incarnations(various resetlogs)
