A. Dear Client,
The Supreme Court has held in a plethora of judgments that mutation of property in revenue records does not create right or title in favor of a person but merely allows for property tax fixing purposes and the mutation process . So, in case the Circle Officer (CO) rejects the mutation application, you can file an appeal before the additional collector or the deputy commissioner, within 30 days of the order of rejection.

A. Dear Client,

A. Dear Client,

If a civil suit for specific performance has been initiated by the buyer in the Civil Court, it is advisable to attempt an out-of-court settlement with the buyer. Otherwise, if the buyer has already paid the agreed sum, even in the absence of a registered agreement of sale, the court may issue an order in favor of the buyer. Therefore, exploring the possibility of a settlement outside of court can be beneficial for both parties involved.
