Why you need it

When you need it

Use when a Punjab mutation is about to be attested against you, or already sanctioned behind your back, and you want a revenue officer to stop or undo it. Covers the ladder: an objection to the CRO before attestation; an appeal under s.13, PLRA 1887 to the Collector/Commissioner/FC after sanction; review (s.15) or revision (s.16) once appeal periods run. The form decides which, from the FACTS: unattested — leave the sanction date blank, it prints as an objection with no limitation plea. Sanctioned — fill the date, pick a head (appeal/review/revision) and compute your own limitation. Locked together: an appeal not identifying its order isn't competent and is returned on a 30-day fuse. Written for the co-sharer abroad who finds an inheritance mutation sanctioned years ago in one heir's name, or a sale mutation on a GPA nobody gave. S.14 runs from the ORDER date, not discovery: 30/60/90 days to Collector/Commissioner/FC. Past 90 days? File anyway with the delay paragraphs. Mortgagees, resold-vendor purchasers, altered-khatauni tenants, and rival succession claimants all use this. NOT for: a mistake already IN a consigned jamabandi (a Fard Badar — para 7.29 splits CRO/SDM; para 7.30 bars mutation fixing it); declaring ownership (s.44/s.45 leads to a declaratory suit under s.34, Specific Relief Act, 1963 — run both, disclose the suit or the 'nothing pending' oath is false); shamlat deh (Collector, s.11, 1961 Act, appeal 60 days); a consolidation repartition (1948 Act, 15d/1mo/60d/6mo ladder); measuring land (nishandehi, 45-day service); or partitioning it (s.126 bars an ACII 2nd grade). Not merely because your OWN mutation is slow — that's a 45-day notified service (2018 Act); Easy Jamabandi (13 Jun 2025) promised 30, unconfirmed as a notified limit — get it in writing. Filing as contested (not a service complaint) queues you 437 days average (RCMS, 6 Sep 2026). ONE BOUNDARY: Punjab's revenue chain only — every office/fee/limit named is Punjab's. Chandigarh sector property is the Estate Officer's file, not reached here. Chandigarh's OWN revenue villages DO keep a jamabandi (same 1887 Act) but must NOT use THIS paper — ask the Tehsildar's Office and Chandigarh's Revenue Department first.

What follows is written for Punjab. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Nothing here is stamped as a conveyance — no Schedule I-A duty in Punjab. What's payable is court fee, small. WHICH TEXT of the Court Fees Act, 1870 matters: the 2009 Punjab Amendment (Act 1/2010) substituted percentage slabs, but they've been STAYED since 27 Nov 2013 (RSA 3311/2013 — the P&H High Court's own Court Fee Table, checked 6 Sep 2026). So the UN-AMENDED table applies — fixed fees of a few rupees (e.g. Rs 5.25 for a civil revision, Rs 0.65/page for annexures — High Court figures, quoted only to show it's not a percentage). Heads for THIS petition (Schedule II, un-amended): Art 1(b) (to a Collector/subordinate officer), Art 1(c) (to the FC), Art 11 (memo of appeal), Art 10 (vakalatnama). RCMS shows an average Rs 39 across 248,068 cases (6 Sep 2026) — get the exact figure from the e-filing screen or the court's Reader first. The affidavit is the ONE chargeable paper, sworn IN PUNJAB — Article 4, small fixed duty; buy from a vendor or e-stamp in the deponent's own name (Punjab also runs NeSL as an Authorised Collection Centre for affidavits — E-Stamp Rules, 2014). Sworn OUTSIDE India, it's plain paper — no Punjab stamp at all. Three more figures: the Rs 600 mutation fee + Rs 200 pasting fee, recovered under s.38(2) ONLY from the person favoured — an objector doesn't pay; separate fees per partition holding/shamilat share. A Special Power of Attorney to run the case: Rs 1,000 duty + Rs 100 registration + Rs 2,000 facilitation — don't confuse with a POA to SELL land, now 2% (Article 48(f), 2023 Amendment Act) outside immediate family. Copies: Manual para 3.48 — Rs 20/page for a mutation-counterfoil copy (uncertain vintage); a computerised nakal (Rule 71-B) is charged separately — ask the counter. Punjab ONLY: Chandigarh sector property has no jamabandi; its OWN revenue villages do, but Punjab's Court Fees Act amendments don't extend there — its fees are the Administration's, not Punjab's.

Registration

Nothing here is registrable — s.17 needs an instrument transferring a right; this petition asks an officer to refuse/correct/set aside an entry, which isn't one. No fee, no window, no penalty. What IS time-bound is the PROCEEDING: s.13's ladder — AC to Collector to Commissioner to FC; a CRO-attested mutation's first rung is the Collector (DC). S.14: 30/60/90 days from the ORDER date. Proviso (i), s.13: no second appeal once confirmed on first. S.15: review by the same officer, within 90 days. S.16: revision, no fixed period — say so if filing one rather than pleading periods that don't apply. An objection BEFORE attestation has no limitation — it just must reach the CRO first. Filing is on RCMS (rcms.punjab.gov.in) — e-filing with Aadhaar login, case number, cause list, digitally signed orders. Over-the-counter also available. RCMS on 6 Sep 2026: 478 active courts, 248,068 cases, 71,228 pending, 437-day average disposal. Two merits points: a mutation on an unregistered agreement or a GPA-plus-will bundle conveys no title (Suraj Lamp v. State of Haryana, (2012) 1 SCC 656) — plead it. A REGISTERED deed DOES auto-start mutation — file your objection the moment you learn of registration, not after sanction. Jurisdiction: s.158 excludes the civil court from record-of-rights matters; s.45 preserves the declaratory suit — the entry is for the revenue officer, title for the civil court. NOT Chandigarh's position: sector property auto-mutates via the Estate Office. Its OWN revenue villages keep a jamabandi under the same Act, but the rest of the ladder there (Commissioner/FC designations, court fee, an RCMS equivalent) is unverified — ask the Tehsildar, Chandigarh, first.

Notarisation

The petition isn't notarised — signed and verified. The affidavit filed with it IS sworn, and the form asks WHERE, since that changes the jurat and the stamp. SWORN IN PUNJAB: before an Oath Commissioner, Notary, or the court's own officer, on non-judicial stamp paper. The deponent appears in person with photo ID; the jurat needs place, date, seal AND registration number — a later-dated affidavit or a blank-place jurat is the commonest return reason, and can eat the whole 30 days. SWORN ABROAD: a consular officer (Diplomatic and Consular Officers Act, 1948) needs no further legalisation; a foreign notary needs an apostille or Indian-mission legalisation. The CONSULAR route is safer — India's been an Apostille party since 2005, but Punjab offices reportedly prefer mission attestation and no circular settles it. A scan suffices for e-filing, but the original is still called for. Since an overseas affidavit takes weeks against the fuse, execute a Special Power of Attorney at the same sitting and attach it — stamped within 3 months of reaching India (s.18, Stamp Act; Punjab: Rs 1,000 duty + Rs 100 registration + Rs 2,000 facilitation). Adjudicate under s.31 if in doubt — an under-stamped POA is the first thing attacked. Chandigarh: none of these figures apply; sector property has no petition to swear for. For a revenue-village property, ask the Tehsildar there.

Witnesses

No attesting witnesses — not a deed. Three things matter: the Petitioner's signature/thumb on the last page with INITIALS on every other page (against substitution); the verification clause separating personal-knowledge facts from information-and-belief from legal propositions; and the deponent's identification before the oath officer — in Punjab, by a practising advocate or someone known to the Oath Commissioner, or abroad by passport before a consular officer. Where the Petitioner can't read the papers, the read-over clause prints — thumb impression (left for a man, right for a woman), and a literate person's name, parentage AND address — leave blank only if read personally, since a false recital is a false oath in the document everything rests on. Facts from OTHER people don't belong in the Petitioner's own affidavit — file separate affidavits as annexures. Ask at the hearing for the khasra girdawari and Roznamcha Waqiati — they show who cultivated which harvest and what the Patwari recorded. Chandigarh: sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary under the Administration's own practice.

RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH:

CAPACITY OF THE PETITIONER, AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS

The Petitioner is a recorded co-sharer in the khewat in respect of the land described in the Schedule to this petition, and is accordingly a person interested in the record-of-rights and in the annual record maintained for the said Revenue Estate under sections 31 and 33 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887. The Petitioner claims one-fourth (1/4) share, being 3 kanal 5 marla out of 13 kanal, as one of four surviving children of the deceased in the said holding, and is competent to institute and to maintain this proceeding.

Connected and parallel proceedings — before anything further is said, the Petitioner discloses the following proceedings touching this land, this mutation or these parties: Civil Suit No. 412 of 2026, Gurmeet Singh versus Balwinder Singh, in the Court of the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Jagraon, for a declaration under section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 that the will dated 2 January 2022 is forged and does not bind the plaintiff, and for a consequential permanent injunction. Filed 3 March 2026, pending, next date 14 April 2026. No interim order has been passed. The Petitioner asks this Court to read this petition in the light of those proceedings. Nothing in this petition asks this Court to decide a question of title, which belongs to the civil court alone.

Save as disclosed in this petition, no other objection, appeal, application, review, revision or suit on the same subject matter between the same parties is pending before any revenue court, civil court, tribunal or authority, and the Petitioner has not authorised any other person to institute one.

THE LAND

Revenue Estate (Village) Kot Umra, Hadbast No. 221, Tehsil Jagraon, District Ludhiana, Punjab. The entries in question stand in the Jamabandi for the year 2020-2021, at Khewat No. 118 and Khatauni No. 241. The khasra numbers and the areas comprised are set out in the Schedule at the foot of this petition and are not disputed as to their description.

THE MUTATION COMPLAINED OF

Mutation (Intkal) No. 5127 was entered in the register of mutations by the Halqa Patwari on 1 April 2026 as a Mutation of inheritance (Intkal Virasat), in favour of the Respondent, and fell thereafter to be placed before the Circle Revenue Officer for attestation under section 34 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887.

Basis of the Respondent's claim — the mutation is said to proceed upon the following document or event: An unregistered will dated 2 January 2022 said to have been executed by the late Sh. Kartar Singh in favour of the Respondent alone, produced for the first time before the Halqa Patwari on 14 August 2023, seven months after the death, and not attested by any witness known to the family. The Petitioner disputes that the said document or event has the effect claimed for it, for the reasons set out in the grounds below, and puts the Respondent to strict proof of it.

STAGE OF THE PROCEEDING, AND LIMITATION

Stage — the said mutation has been entered in the register of mutations by the Halqa Patwari and has not yet been placed before the Circle Revenue Officer for attestation. It has not been attested, and no order sanctioning it has been passed. This petition is accordingly presented as an objection at the attestation stage, for which no period of limitation is prescribed. The Petitioner prays that it be taken on the file of the mutation proceeding, that the Petitioner be summoned and heard, that the dispute be determined by the summary inquiry for which section 36 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 provides, and that the mutation be not attested until this objection has been decided by a reasoned order.

Sanction — the said mutation was attested and sanctioned by the Naib Tehsildar, Jagraon, Assistant Collector Second Grade by order dated 3 April 2026, and that order is the order complained of in this petition. The Petitioner applied for and obtained a certified copy of the said order on 4 April 2026, and the time requisite for obtaining that copy falls to be excluded in computing the period of limitation.

Limitation — the statutory position is this. Section 13 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 gives an appeal from an Assistant Collector to the Collector, from the Collector to the Commissioner of the Division and from the Commissioner to the Financial Commissioner (Revenue); proviso (i) to that section shuts off a further appeal where an original order has been confirmed on first appeal. Section 14 allows thirty days for an appeal to the Collector, sixty days for an appeal to the Commissioner and ninety days for an appeal to the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), and every one of those periods runs from the date of the order appealed against and not from the date on which the appellant came to know of it. Section 15 allows the officer who passed an order to review it, and section 15(b) requires an application for review to be made within ninety days. Section 16 allows a superior revenue officer, and at the apex the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), to call for the record of a case decided by an officer subordinate to him and to revise the order made in it, and prescribes no period of its own for doing so. The Petitioner's own position on limitation, and the computation on which it rests, is this: The order complained of is dated 27 November 2023. The Petitioner applied for a certified copy on 12 February 2026 and obtained it on 19 February 2026, and the time requisite for obtaining it falls to be excluded. This petition is presented on 24 February 2026 to the Collector, for which section 14 allows thirty days from the date of the order. The petition is therefore beyond the period allowed, by 813 days after excluding the time requisite for the copy, and the Petitioner has filed the accompanying application for condonation of that delay, which is founded on the Petitioner's continuous residence outside India and on the total absence of notice.

Date of knowledge — the Petitioner first came to know of the said mutation on 2 April 2026, on inspecting the record of the said Revenue Estate at jamabandi.punjab.gov.in. No notice of the proceeding had been given to the Petitioner at any earlier time and the Petitioner had no means of knowing of it.

Absence from India — The Petitioner has been resident in Canada since 4 March 2011 on permanent resident status and has visited India only twice since, in December 2016 and in February 2024. The Petitioner's passport entry and exit stamps are annexed. The Petitioner was in Brampton, Ontario throughout the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 November 2025. The Petitioner was accordingly not present in the Halqa or at the Tehsil when the mutation was reported, entered and taken up, and could neither attend in person nor instruct anyone to attend on the Petitioner's behalf.

GROUNDS

The Petitioner objects to the said mutation on the following grounds:

(i) The late Sh. Kartar Singh died intestate on 3 June 2023 leaving four children, of whom the Petitioner is the eldest.
(ii) The mutation records the Respondent as sole successor and omits the Petitioner and two other heirs altogether.
(iii) No death certificate, no succession affidavit and no statement of the other heirs appears on the mutation file.
(iv) The will relied upon is unregistered, was produced seven months after the death, and its attesting witnesses are the Respondent's own employees.

Questions about this document

Does the Objection to a Pending Mutation and Appeal Against a Sanctioned Mutation (Intkal Aitraaz te Appeal) need stamp paper or stamp duty in Punjab?

Nothing here is stamped as a conveyance — no Schedule I-A duty in Punjab. What's payable is court fee, small.

WHICH TEXT of the Court Fees Act, 1870 matters: the 2009 Punjab Amendment (Act 1/2010) substituted percentage slabs, but they've been STAYED since 27 Nov 2013 (RSA 3311/2013 — the P&H High Court's own Court Fee Table, checked 6 Sep 2026). So the UN-AMENDED table applies — fixed fees of a few rupees (e.g. Rs 5.25 for a civil revision, Rs 0.65/page for annexures — High Court figures, quoted only to show it's not a percentage).

Heads for THIS petition (Schedule II, un-amended): Art 1(b) (to a Collector/subordinate officer), Art 1(c) (to the FC), Art 11 (memo of appeal), Art 10 (vakalatnama). RCMS shows an average Rs 39 across 248,068 cases (6 Sep 2026) — get the exact figure from the e-filing screen or the court's Reader first.

The affidavit is the ONE chargeable paper, sworn IN PUNJAB — Article 4, small fixed duty; buy from a vendor or e-stamp in the deponent's own name (Punjab also runs NeSL as an Authorised Collection Centre for affidavits — E-Stamp Rules, 2014). Sworn OUTSIDE India, it's plain paper — no Punjab stamp at all.

Three more figures: the Rs 600 mutation fee + Rs 200 pasting fee, recovered under s.38(2) ONLY from the person favoured — an objector doesn't pay; separate fees per partition holding/shamilat share. A Special Power of Attorney to run the case: Rs 1,000 duty + Rs 100 registration + Rs 2,000 facilitation — don't confuse with a POA to SELL land, now 2% (Article 48(f), 2023 Amendment Act) outside immediate family.

Copies: Manual para 3.48 — Rs 20/page for a mutation-counterfoil copy (uncertain vintage); a computerised nakal (Rule 71-B) is charged separately — ask the counter.

Punjab ONLY: Chandigarh sector property has no jamabandi; its OWN revenue villages do, but Punjab's Court Fees Act amendments don't extend there — its fees are the Administration's, not Punjab's.

Does the Objection to a Pending Mutation and Appeal Against a Sanctioned Mutation (Intkal Aitraaz te Appeal) need registration in Punjab?

Nothing here is registrable — s.17 needs an instrument transferring a right; this petition asks an officer to refuse/correct/set aside an entry, which isn't one. No fee, no window, no penalty.

What IS time-bound is the PROCEEDING: s.13's ladder — AC to Collector to Commissioner to FC; a CRO-attested mutation's first rung is the Collector (DC). S.14: 30/60/90 days from the ORDER date. Proviso (i), s.13: no second appeal once confirmed on first. S.15: review by the same officer, within 90 days. S.16: revision, no fixed period — say so if filing one rather than pleading periods that don't apply. An objection BEFORE attestation has no limitation — it just must reach the CRO first.

Filing is on RCMS (rcms.punjab.gov.in) — e-filing with Aadhaar login, case number, cause list, digitally signed orders. Over-the-counter also available. RCMS on 6 Sep 2026: 478 active courts, 248,068 cases, 71,228 pending, 437-day average disposal.

Two merits points: a mutation on an unregistered agreement or a GPA-plus-will bundle conveys no title (Suraj Lamp v. State of Haryana, (2012) 1 SCC 656) — plead it. A REGISTERED deed DOES auto-start mutation — file your objection the moment you learn of registration, not after sanction.

Jurisdiction: s.158 excludes the civil court from record-of-rights matters; s.45 preserves the declaratory suit — the entry is for the revenue officer, title for the civil court.

NOT Chandigarh's position: sector property auto-mutates via the Estate Office. Its OWN revenue villages keep a jamabandi under the same Act, but the rest of the ladder there (Commissioner/FC designations, court fee, an RCMS equivalent) is unverified — ask the Tehsildar, Chandigarh, first.
