Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition regarding entries in revenue records, affirming that mutation does not create or extinguish title over land, nor does it have presumptive value on title, as established in Sawarni(Smt.) vs. Inder Kaur, (1996) 6 SCC 223, Balwant Singh & Anr. Vs. Daulat Singh(dead) by L.Rs. & Ors., (1997) 7 SCC 137, and Narasamma & Ors. vs. State of Karnataka & Ors., (2009) 5 SCC 591. The Court declined to interfere, noting that civil suits regarding the land were pending, and thus the appeal was dismissed for lack of merit.
