Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a writ petition concerning land mutation records, affirming that mutation does not create or extinguish title over land, nor does it carry presumptive value regarding ownership. The Court reiterated established principles from cases such as Sawarni vs. Inder Kaur and Balwant Singh vs. Daulat Singh, emphasizing that mutation merely allows the payment of land revenue. The appeal was dismissed as it lacked merit, with the Court declining to engage in factual inquiries due to pending civil suits regarding the land.
