Case Synopsis & Summary

These writ petitions, heard together, challenge refusals to effect mutation of title in Kerala Estate Village, Nilambur Taluk, and the non-acceptance of land tax by theVillage Officer. The petitioners claim absolute ownership of parcels in Kerala Estate Village and seek mutation and transfer of registry to themselves, with tax payments. The court recalls that mutation and payment of basic land tax are fiscal measures and do not by themselves create or extinguish title, a proposition supported by several Kerala and Supreme Court authorities (e.g., Larson T George v State of Kerala; Sawarni (SMT) v Inder Kaur; Sudan v State of Kerala). It also notes Exts. P4 and P5 and a prior W.P.(C) 16494/2019 judgment as relevant context for relief in similar situations. The court directs that petitioners file fresh Form IA under the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966 for mutation. If properly filed, the competent authority is to consider and effect transfer of registry within six weeks (and accept the land tax offered). The State may proceed under the Land Reforms Act if there is any violation. The petitions are disposed of by a common judgment, clarifying that ownership is not conferred by mutation and that mutation is a fiscal exercise, with relief subject to statutory compliance.

Provisions of Law Cited

Land Reforms Act (Kerala)Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966Form IA (Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966)

Legal Doctrines & Maxims

Mutation and acceptance of basic land tax will not confer title
Mutation is for fiscal purposes and does not create or extinguish title
State may proceed against property for violation of the Land Reforms Act

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners contend they are absolute owners and seek mutation in their favour and transfer of registry with payment of land tax. They rely on Exts. P4 and P5 and prior judgments (e.g., Ext P2/Ext P3 references) to show relief granted in similar circumstances, asserting that mutation should be effected and tax remitted. They urge expeditious processing under Form IA of the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966, so that mutation and payment can be completed without unnecessary delay.

Contentions of Respondents

The respondents submit that mutation and land tax payment do not confer title and that the State may proceed under the Land Reforms Act for any violation. They emphasize mutation as a fiscal mechanism, and stress adherence to due process and statutory constraints. They contend no title passes by mutation alone and that any transfer must follow legal procedures under the Land Reforms Act and Transfer of Registry Rules.

Therefore, I am disposing of these Writ Petitions by a common judgment. 2. According to the petitioners, they are the absolute owners of certain items of property in Kerala Estate Village, Nilambur Taluk. According to the petitioners, the mutation of the property is not done and the authorities are not accepting Land Tax. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the point is covered by several judgments of this Court. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.7262 of 2021 takes me through Ext.P2 judgment. For clarity, I am extracting Ext.P2 judgment:- ## **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -7- “The petitioner herein is the absolute owner in title and possession of property having an extent of 0.4047 hectares comprised in Re.Sy. No.55/4/2 and 0.1113 hectares comprised in Re.Sy. No.55/4 in Block No. 157 of the Kerala Estate Village, Nilambur Taluk. The petitioner states that the above properties were purchased by the petitioner on the strength of Ext.P1 sale deed. 2. The petitioner contends that the previous owner of the property was one Chandran and after his death, the property devolved on his wife and children. When the Village Officer refused to effect mutation in their favour and permit them to remit tax, they approached this Court and filed W.P.(C) Nos.16534/2019 and 16494/2019. This Court, by judgment dated 23.7.2019, disposed of the writ petitions observing as follows: “The petitioners purchased the property which is forming part of Kerala Estate Village. The petitioner approached the Revenue Authority to effect transfer of registry. It appears that alleging purchase was in violation of the Land Reforms Act, ## **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -8- the request for transfer of registry was rejected. If there is any violation of the provisions under the Land Reforms Act, the authorities are free to proceed against the property in accordance with law. The transfer of registry is for fiscal purposes. Therefore, the State is free to proceed against the property for any violation under the Land Reforms Act. With liberty as above, the Village Officer is directed to effect transfer of registry, without any delay, at any rate, within one month.” 3. After effecting mutation as aforesaid, the petitioner purchased the property as stated above. He then submitted an application to effect transfer of the registry and to pay tax. His grievance is that the 1st respondent refused to accept the application on the ground that the property is situated in Kerala Estate Village. It is the afore circumstances that the petitioner is before this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to accept the application submitted by the petitioner for effecting mutation in respect of the property covered under Ext.P1 sale deed in an expeditious manner. ## **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -9- 4. Sri. K.R. Vinod, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would refer to Exhibit P4 and P5 judgments of this Court and it was argued that there is no justification on the part of the respondents in rejecting the application and in transferring the registry in his name. 5. Smt. Mable C. Kurian, the learned Government Pleader, has opposed the prayer. However, it is fairly submitted that this Court has granted relief to the predecessor in interest of the petitioner and they have remitted tax. 6. I have considered the submissions advanced. 7. It is by now settled that effecting of mutation and acceptance of basic land tax will not result in the conferment of title. If there is any violation of the provisions of any of the statutes, the authorities can very well proceed against the petitioner in accordance with the law. The petitioner is entitled to the benefit as has been granted to the petitioners in Exts.P4 and P5, they being the previous owners. ## **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** 8. Resultantly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to approach the 1st respondent and to file a fresh application under Form 1A of the Transfer of Registry Rules, 1966, and seek for mutation with supporting documents. If such an application is filed, the competent among the respondents shall consider the same, if it is in order, and effect transfer of registry, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The land tax offered by the petitioner shall also be accepted.” 5. The learned Government Pleader submits that a counter affidavit is filed in this case. The learned Government Pleader further submits that if this Court is going to pass similar order like Ext.P2, liberty may be given to the State to proceed with the case, if any, under the Land Reforms Act. 6. I think, in the light of the judgment dated **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -11- 29.1.2021 in W.P.(C) No.25428 of 2020, these Writ Petitions also can be disposed of. It is now settled by several judgments of this Court and the Apex Court that mutation of property and acceptance of tax will not by itself either create or extinguish title nor has it in presumptive value on title and it only enables the person in whose name the mutation has been effected to pay land revenue in question. [Larson T George v. State of Kerala 2019 (1) KLT 128, Sawarni (SMT) v. Inder Kaur (SMT) & others 1996(6) SCC 223 and Sudan v. State of Kerala 2013 (4) KLT 563]. In the light of the above principle, I think these Writ Petitions can be disposed of, in the following manner:- (i) The petitioners in these Writ Petitions can file a fresh application under Form IA of the Transfer of **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -12- Registry Rules, 1966 and seek for mutation of their property with supporting documents. (ii) If such an application is filed, within one month from today, the competent authority among the respondents shall consider the same if it is in order and effect the transfer of registry, at any rate, within a period six weeks thereafter. The land tax offered by the petitioners shall also be accepted. (iii) The State is free to proceed with the land, if there is any violation of the Land Reforms Act. ## **Sd/-** ## **P V KUNHIKRISHNAN, JUDGE** . dl/ **Case Nos.WP(C) 25422, 15935 & 20043/2020 & 7262/2021** -13- ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 7262/2021** PETITIONER ANNEXURE EXHIBIT P1 THE COPY OF THE RELEASE DEED NO. 1063/2016 DATED 12.05.2016 OF SRO KARUVARAKUNDU.
