Mutation vs title

Supreme Court has emphasized the need of a valid Title Document and its further Mutation:-

As per Supreme Court- "the sale transactions carried out vide General Power of Attorney will have no legal sanctity and immovable property can be sold or transferred only through registered deeds i.e Sale Deeds.

The Apex Court further held that:

"Transactions of the nature of `GPA sales' or `SA/GPA/WILL transfers' do not convey title and do not amount to transfer nor can they be recognised or valid mode of transfer of immovable property.

"The courts will not treat such transactions as completed or concluded transfers or as conveyances as they neither convey title nor create any interest in an immovable property.

"Such transactions cannot be relied upon or made the basis for mutations in municipal or revenue records."
