The concept of mutation is “Dakhil Khariz” that means firstly “Khariz” then “Dakhil”. A person whose name has to be Khariz is a necessary party but deliberately that person has not been made party in the present proceeding. 3. Further, it has not been disclosed in the petition that whether the seller of the impugned piece of land was holder of the mutation or not. 4. In that view of the matter, this Court finds no reason to entertain the present writ petition. 5. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands dismissed. 6. However, the petitioner is at liberty to work out his remedy in accordance with law. (Rajesh Kumar, J.) 22.01.2026 Shahid/ Uploaded on 27.01.2026
