West Bengal Land Reforms Act | Mutation Proceedings Are Administrative, Not Barred by Pendency of Civil Suit or Status Quo Orders : Calcutta HC

Calcutta High Court rules that mutation proceedings under the West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, are purely administrative and cannot be stayed due to pending civil suits or status quo orders. The judgment clarifies that revenue authorities must proceed with mutation applications regardless of title disputes before civil courts, ensuring timely updates to land records.
