SSK/915 1 WP.8616.09. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 8616 OF 2009 Vanita Nitin Bhoir ....Petitioner Versus Lava Ramchandra Patil & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. V. M. Bhate, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. P. S. Dani, Advocate for respondent nos. 1 to 3. CORAM : RANJIT MORE, J. DATED : 13th APRIL, 2011. P.C.: Heard Mr. Bhate and Mr. Dani, learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. The petition arises out of mutation entry proceedings. The petitioner’s name was entered in the record of the land in question by Mutation Entry No.3897 and thereafter, by subsequent Mutation Entry No. 4039, the petitioner’s name was deleted from the record of the said land. This deletion is made in pursuance of Clause 3-C of the sale deed executed between the petitioner, respondents and Shreenath Developers dated 26th August, 2003. SSK/915 2 WP.8616.09. 3. That apart, It is now a settled position of law that mutation entry does not create or extinguish rights of the party and the same is recorded only for fiscal purposes. The parties are always at liberty to approach the Civil Court to get their rights adjudicated. A reference can be made to the decision of the Apex Court in the matter of Balwant Singh & Another V/s. Daulat Singh reported in 1997(7) SCC 137. 4. 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. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
