Said mutation was challenged in a time barred appeal by the petitioner before the appellate authority of the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Collector) Pulwama only to suffer dismissal on account of non-condonation of delay by virtue of an order dated 29.07.2024 against which further appeal was taken before the Additional Commissioner (S) with power of the Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir which too failed in terms of an adjudication done vide an order dated 30.01.2025. 3.

Dismissed in terms of the above. (RAHUL BHARTI) JUDGE SRINAGAR: 02-04-2025 Mubashir
