Mutation based on a court decree

Guide to Property Mutation for Court-Declared Ownership

When ownership is declared by a civil court, the mutation process is completed based on the court order.

Steps for Mutation:

1. Application Submission: Submit an application to the concerned authority.
2. Document Attachments: Include a copy of the court order, affidavit, and any relevant documents.
3. Verification: The authority verifies the documents.
4. Approval: Once verified, the online mutation of property or manual mutation is approved, updating the ownership records.

Key Points:

• Mutation after Death: Heirs must apply for mutation when inheriting property through a court order.
• Time Limit for Mutation of Land: Timely submission is critical to avoid disputes or penalties.
• Process Simplification: Many states now offer online mutation to streamline the procedure.

Mutation ensures the official land revenue records reflect the updated ownership but does not establish legal title. Always keep a copy of the sale deed or court order for reference.
