IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC NO.13250 OF 2009 RAM BABU GUPTA RESIDENT OF JAFARPUR, PAROO, MUZAFFARPUR VERSUS (1) THE STATE OF BIHAR (2) THE COLLECTOR MUZAFFARPUR (3) THE LRDC, WEST MUZAFFARPUR (4) THE CO, PAROO, MUZAFFARPUR (5) SRI PAPPU KUMAR, JAFARPUR, PAROO, MUZAFFARPUR (6) SRI SRIKANT KUMAR, JAFARPUR, PAROO, MUZAFFARPUR. ----------- 2 09.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has come to this Court for quashing an order dated 3.7.2008 contained in annexure 3, passed by respondent no.2 in Case no. 31 Misc/2003-04 by which Mutation revision case no. 31/2003-04 has been rejected, as also for quashing an order dated 2.4.2003 contained in annexure 2, passed by respondent no.3 in Mutation Appeal no. 30/2002-03 by which his appeal for correction in area mutated in the names of respondent numbers 5 and 6 has been rejected, and also for quashing Mutation order dated 22.8.2000 contained in annexure 1 by which area more than purchase has been mutated in the names of respondent numbers 5 and 6. Case of the petitioner is that he and one Ram Ayodhya Sah purchased 28 dhoors of land of plot no. 665, khata no. 371 in village Jafarpur, P.O. Paroo, district Muzaffarpur, whereas respondent numbers 5 and 6 purchased 3 decimals of adjacent portion of same plot, but mutation order has been passed to the extent of 3 1/5 decimals. The petitioner submits that the aforesaid error may cause difficulty to the petitioner subsequently. It is well settled that order of mutation does not decide - 2 - title and it only prima facie refers to possession on the land. The petitioner purchased 28 dhoors of land from the vendor Ram Awatar Mahto, he can exercise his right on it. The respondent numbers 5 and 6 would similarly exercise this right on land purchased by them. The writ petition is disposed of with observation that in case parties have any grievance, they may approach Civil court for their dispute. Shashi. (Samarendra Pratap Singh,J.)
