An appellate revenue authority, in the interest of justice, may pass consequential directions regarding land mutation to align revenue records with a binding, pre-existing, and unchallenged partition....
Mutation orders require evidence of possession through lawful transfer, and failure to consider possession invalidates such orders.
Mutation does not confer or extinguish title and is based on possession for revenue purposes. The decree in a civil suit may not necessarily relate to the land in question for the purpose of mutation....
There is a right in favour of a co-owner to perfect his title in respect of a property jointly owned by him and therefore, seek conversion from leasehold to freehold and nutation of the property.
A landowner's right to mutate property based on a registered sale deed cannot be legally denied without lawful acquisition or evidence of ownership disputes.
