Court directs tahsildar to mutate records, rejects mandatory online submission by sub-registrar
Nivedita and others Vs The Tashildar
Justice Hemant Chandangoudar
WP No. 104223 of 2022
Before the High Court of Karnataka -Â The petitioner sought a writ to compel the Tahshildar to record mutation for a registered sale deed where the revenue authority had rejected the application, stating that it had not been filed/submitted online by the Sub-Registrar. The Court held that according to sec 128 and 129 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, where a person acquiring title may directly report the acquisition to the revenue authority, requiring the Tahshildar to update records, subject to objections. The learned court on finding no legal basis for the respondents requirement, allowed the petition by ordering mutation of the petitioners name.
