Section 34 U.P. Revenue Code | Mutation Entries Cannot Confer Title When Civil Suit Is Pending: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has reaffirmed that revenue records, including mutation orders under Section 34 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006, are purely fiscal and cannot override or pre-empt title disputes resolved in pending civil suits. This ruling protects property rights by ensuring that possession-based claims, like those under Section 229-B of the U.P. Zamindari Abolition Act, must be adjudicated in civil court - not decided by revenue officials.
