- Ownership rights are to be established through civil litigation and not solely through revenue record entries.
- Courts have repeatedly emphasized that mutations are administrative acts and cannot be used to assert or deny ownership rights.
- Therefore, mutation entries do not confer ownership; they serve only fiscal and record-keeping purposes YUSUF AND OTHERS vs KAID JOHAR AND OTHERS - Madhya Pradesh, Indraj vs State Of U.P.
