Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. The petitions pertain to recording of the mutation entries. It is settled position of law that the mutation entry does not create or extinguish rights of the party and the same are recorded for the fiscal purposes only. 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. If the parties approach the Court of the competent jurisdiction by way of civil suit, the same shall be decided independently on its own merits and without being influenced by the decision of the revenue authorities in the mutation entries proceedings. 3. With the above observations, I am not inclined to entertain the petition in writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 4. Writ petitions are disposed of subject to above observations. (RANJIT MORE, J.) 3 WP9502-9503.10 4 WP9502-9503.10
