Headnote

Entries in the revenue record raise a rebuttable presumption of truth but do not by themselves confer or extinguish title; the underlying transaction must be independently proved.

Key holdings

  1. A mutation is a fiscal record, not a document of title.
  2. The beneficiary of a mutation must prove the original transaction.
  3. The presumption of truth under Section 52 of the Land Revenue Act is rebuttable.
