1 SSK/41 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 4134 OF 1998 Shri Jagan Rama Bhochare ....Petitioner Versus Shri Sampat Tukaram Bhoj ...Respondent Mrs. Gauri Jadhav, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. Prasad Kulkarni h/f. Mr.P.S.Dani for Respondent Nos.1 to 11. Mrs. S. M. Bane, AGP for Respondent Nos. 13 to 16. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATED : 15th APRIL, 2010. P.C.: Heard Mrs. Jadhav, learned Counsel for the Petitioner, Mr. Kulkarni, learned Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 11 and Mrs. Bane, learned AGP for Respondent Nos. 13 to 16, 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 2 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 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. By an order dated 20th August, 1998, this Court granted an interim relief in terms of prayer clause (c) of the Petition. In the interest of justice and having regard to the facts of the case, the said interim relief is continued for a period of eight weeks from today. 4. In view of the disposal of the writ petition, the civil application no. 2474 of 2009 will not survive and therefore, the same is also disposed of. (R. V. MORE, J.)
