Sahani, Advocate For the respondent(s) : Mr. Kishore Kr. Singh, Advocate …...... 07/07.05.2026: 1. Heard the parties. 2. After going through the record I find that there is dispute in respect of the mutation of the property. The petitioner claims the entire property by virtue of registered gift deed. The respondent no. 5 opposes the same and submits that the property was purchased by three brothers. One brother died issueless and, thereafter, the petitioner brought the entire land mutated in her favour leaving out respondent no. 5. 3. After hearing the parties, I find that there is a serious disputed question of title in this case. The gift deed needs to be proved and the title has to be established between the parties. 4. Thus, I direct the petitioner including the respondent no. 5 to approach the Civil Court by filing appropriate suit which will be decided on merits without being influenced and prejudiced by the order passed by Revenue authorities. 5. The Revenue authorities after the suit is decided will consider the case of the mutation in terms of the judgment passed in this case. ( 2026:JHHC:13698 ) 2 6. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 07.05.2026 Rashmi/- Uploaded on:-12.05.2026
