ORAL ORDER
1. Learned Additional Government Advocate accepts notice for the respondent.
2. In this writ petition, the petitioner is assailing the Endorsement dated 16.07.2026 (Annexure-A) issued by the respondent.
3. The petitioner is claiming right over the subject property on the basis of the registered sale deed dated 16.05.2024, produced at Annexure-C.
4. In that view of the matter, it is the duty of the respondent-authority to enter the name of the
HC-KAR
petitioner in the mutation register on the basis of the registered instrument. Hence, the impugned Endorsement dated 16.07.2026 is unsustainable in law.
5. Accordingly, a writ of mandamus is issued directing the respondent-Tahsildar to enter the name of the petitioner in respect of the subject land on the basis of the registered sale deed dated 16.05.2024, produced at Annexure-C, within an outer limit of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order.
6. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed.
