- The Supreme Court ruled in Samiullah vs State of Bihar on property registration and mutation rules.
- The Court struck down the Bihar Registration Rules (2019) that made mutation proof compulsory for property registration.
- It held that the registration of a document is different from ownership or title of property.
- Questions of title and ownership can be decided only by civil courts, not by Sub-Registrars.
- Registration creates only a rebuttable presumption of ownership, not final proof.
- The judgment highlighted structural problems in land records due to poor surveys and a lack of record integration.
