Mutation of Property in India: Significance and Process

Dear Client, Bakast lands were traditionally used for agricultural and personal purposes. Landlords occupied these land parcels from employees or tenants due to the non-payment of rent or financial arrangements. Currently, Bakast lands in Bihar are managed by Revenue and Bhumi Sudhar Vibhag, which promote agricultural development. The Patna High Court recently addressed the case of Horil Paswan vs the State of Bihar (2021) concerning Bakast land in Bihar. The court instructed the petitioner to file a representation with the Circle Officer, concerned, for grievance redressal within four weeks. The authority was directed to decide on the matter within three months, ensuring principles of natural justice. The petitioner was also granted liberty to pursue alternative remedies. Speedy trial is a fundamental right implicit in the guarantee of life and personal liberty enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution of India and any party to a litigation who is denied this right of speedy trial is entitled to approach the High Court under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, you can file a petition under Article 227 of the Constitution before the High Court praying for a direction to the concerned authority/trial court below wherein your mutation case is pending for expeditious disposal within a given time frame.

Dear Client, From the prolonged content of your query, it appears you are extremely aggrieved with the service of the service provider and decided to move the Court for relief. On detection of defects in the product, post-purchase is termed and defined under Sec.2(34) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 as "Product Liability" which means the responsibility of a product manufacturer or product seller/service centre, to compensate for any harm caused to the consumer/customer by such defective product manufactured or sold or for a deficiency in services relating thereto. Chapter VI, Section 82 to Section 87 of the Consumer Protection Act deals with product liability and So, in the given scenario, serving a strong legal notice to both Service Provider and the product manufacturer, you can file a complaint against them over alleged deficiency in service and unfair trade practices before the District Consumer Commission under Section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 claiming replacement of the vehicle or refund of the cost of the vehicle including the expenses incurred towards repairing/servicing along with compensation for harassment and cost of litigation. As per Section 69 of the CPA, the complaint should be filed within two years from the date of the cause of action. Since you have been facing a deficiency in service since 2017 up to now, your claim is now barred by limitation. So, you have to file a petition seeking condonation of delay on the grounds of continued cause of action along with your complaint petition and lead the evidence to justify your claim before the Commission. If required, hire the service of an experienced Advocate handling consumer cases to navigate the issue in the right way.

Dear Client, The property can be sold without mutation, but it should not be sold without mutation. Modifications to the property transaction procedure are typically required by government agencies and registration offices. In order to prevent the sale deed from not being recognized by the law. Selling a property without completing the mutation process can lead to significant risks and complications for both the buyer and seller. The former owner will continue to be listed in government documents as the legitimate owner of the property if the property mutation is not completed. As a result, the property may still be assessed for any taxes, including property tax and possibly even capital gains tax, in the name of the previous owner. We hope that our responses is helpful to you.
