1 SSK/42 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 7990 OF 2003 Mohamed Hasan Mohamad Khatib Since deceased through L.H. & Ors. ....Petitioners Versus Gulam Gaus Gulam Mohamed & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. C. G. Gavnekar, Advocate for the Petitioners. Mr. S. M. Dange, Advocate for Respondent No.1. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATED : 15th APRIL, 2010. P.C.: Heard Mr.Gavnekar and Mr.Dange, learned Counsel for the Petitioner and Respondent No.1, respectively. 2. The Petition pertains to recording of mutation entry. It is now a settled position of law that mutation entry does not create or extinguish rights of the parties in the concerned suit properties and the same is recorded only for fiscal purposes. In this regard, reference can be made to the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Balwant Singh & Anr. Versus Daulat Singh (Dead) by Lrs. & Ors. reported in (1997) 7 Supreme Court Cases 137. The parties are always at liberty to approach 2 the Civil Court to get their rights adjudicated. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain the petition and interfere with the impugned order in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. 3. In the event, either of the parties to the petition, filing the dispute as stated above, the Civil Court shall decide the same independently, on its own merit and without being influenced by the order impugned in this petition. (R. V. MORE, J.)
