IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.15202 of 2011 Date of Decision : August 19, 2011. Jaswant Singh .....Petitioner versus The Commissioner, Faridkot Divn. and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Prem Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks quashing of the orders dated 30.1.2009, 14.7.2009 and 9.2.2011 (Annexures P-4, P-5 and P-7, respectively) passed by respondent Nos.3, 2 & 1, respectively. These orders pertain to sanction of mutation in favour of the private respondents based upon a registered sale deed. The mutation sanctioned by the Assistant Collector first Grade, has been upheld by the Appellate/Revisional Authorities. One of the petitioner's contention appears to be that the mutation has been sanctioned for an area more than what has been sold by the vendor(s). The other contentions also revolve around the title dispute. The petitioner has filed a civil suit also challenging the above mentioned CWP No.15202 of 2011 [2] sale deed. Suffice it to mention that the questions as to whether the sale deed is for consideration and/or mere a sham transaction and/or has been executed by the vendor(s) in excess to his share or that the mutation sanctioned pursuant thereto is inconsistent with the title vested in favour of the vendees, are yet to be gone into by the civil court in the civil suit. Mere sanction of mutation does not confer any title nor it deprives the petitioner from the protection of lis pendens. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to raise all his contentions before the civil court who shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law. The mutation sanctioned in favour of the private respondents would obviously be subject to the final outcome of the civil suit. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 19, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
