Case Note & Summary
The case involved a writ petition filed by Narinder Aggarwal against the State of Punjab and others concerning the cancellation of certain property mutations. The petitioner sought relief regarding the ownership of land measuring 37.5 sq.yds. and 47.5 sq.yds. which had been sold to Satish Kumar and Vinay Kumar. The respondents indicated that they had received no objection affidavits from the aforementioned individuals and had initiated the process to cancel the mutations. Following this, the property would be transferred back to Davinder Kaur, the original owner, and the necessary proceedings would be undertaken to sanction the mutation in favor of the petitioner. Given that the claim of the petitioner was satisfied, the court deemed the writ petition infructuous. However, it directed the respondents to complete the necessary processes as quickly as possible, ideally within two months. The judgment was delivered by Justice Mahesh Grover on August 29, 2012.
