Legal basis & binding precedent for this topic

Statute

Tehsildars, Mandal Revenue Officers, Sub-Divisional Magistrates, and District Collectors are "public authorities" under Section 2(h). Mutation register entries, survey records, and file notings on pending mutation applications are "information" under Section 2(f).

Case law

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held (across a line of cases including Smt. Sawarni vs. Smt. Inder Kaur (AIR 1996 SC 2823)) that mutation entries do not by themselves confer title - they are fiscal records. Precisely because mutation records are administrative, not adjudicative, they fall squarely within RTI disclosure. State Information Commissions have ordered Tehsildars to disclose mutation file progress in numerous rulings.

How we use this

Mutation RTIs work best when they ask for file-movement status, objections filed (with party details), and the officer responsible - rather than challenging the mutation decision itself (which is a separate revenue-court matter). This approach keeps the RTI firmly within Section 2(f) territory.

Section references are to the Right to Information Act, 2005. Case citations refer to reported judgments of the Supreme Court of India, High Courts, and the Central / State Information Commissions.
