Sri Janardhan S N v. Deputy Commissioner
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court allowed the writ petition challenging mutation orders that mutated land to a third party. The Court found the registered Partition Deed allotted the entire land to the petitioners' grandfather, not the respondent. Since the extent allotted was a disputed question of fact, the Court quashed the mutation orders and directed parties to resolve the dispute via a civil suit.
What did the court decide?
Impugned mutation orders passed by the Deputy Commissioner and Tahasildar were quashed and set aside. Parties directed to approach the Civil Court for determination of their rights.
