Rehabilitation Benefits | Mutation Order Recognizing Legal Heir Rights Cannot Be Ignored for Cut-Off Date Compliance : Uttarakhand HC
Uttarakhand HC rules that mutation orders recognizing inheritance rights predating a rehabilitation scheme cut-off cannot be disregarded, as doing so violates Article 14. The court set aside the rejection of a legal heir’s claim, emphasizing that administrative decisions must account for corrected revenue records, not just rigid cut-off dates.
