1. Petitioner has filed this petition under Article 227 of Constitution of India challenging order dated 16.12.2013 passed in Revision Case No.2420/III/2013 by Board of Revenue, Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior.
2. Brief facts of the case are that one Mangal Chamar was owner of land bearing survey No.148 measuring 0.547 Hectare situated in village Karodaha, Teshil Sirmour. Said land was sold to respondents namely Teerath, Jageshwar and Gangadeen by Mangal Chamar.

Appeal was filed against said order of mutation before SDO, Sirmour. SDO, Sirmour remanded the matter back vide its order dated 13.5.1988 in Revenue Case No.247-A6/87-88 for passing fresh order after hearing all the interested parties. Naya
Once a registered sale deed is executed, revenue entry is required to be mutated on the basis of such sale deed.

The dismissal of suits filed by the respondents influenced the court's decision to quash the order staying the mutation entry in favor of the petitioner.
The mutation application based on an unchallenged sale deed cannot be dismissed in summary proceedings, affirming the Board of Revenue's review authority under the U.P. Land Revenue Act.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the interpretation and application of Section 65 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879 in the context of a land dispute.
