A suit was instituted against the 3rd respondent for recovery of damages and property belonging to the 3rd respondent was brought to sale. Second respondent purchased the same in court auction. But later the parties entered into a compromise and it was agreed that the property shall be assigned in favour of the petitioner. Accordingly, Exhibit-P1 sale deed was executed. Petitioner purchased the property from the 2nd respondent. Third respondent also joined in the execution of the sale deed. He has now sought for mutation of the property as evidenced by Exhibit- P4 application. This writ petition has been filed alleging delay in effecting mutation citing pendency of the suit which was originally decreed against the 2nd respondent. W.P ( C) No. 14799 of 2009 2 Notice has been issued to respondents 2 and 3. But there is no appearance. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there is no reason why the mutation shall not be effected in relation to the property covered by Exhibit-P1. Accordingly, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to proceed to effect mutation of the property covered by Exhibit-P1 within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 14799 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No. 14799 of 2009 4
