Re: ownership of property

the mutation is only a 'presumptive' evidence which can be rebutted by leading evidence about sale consideration etc.

the mutation in govt records is not CONCLUSIVE proof of ownership. it is only prima facie.

if your father bought the properpty, he may be entitled to claim a declaration about his ownership.

Re: ownership of property

despite the fact the property is mutated in your name still your father can dispute the fact of ownership by adducing evidence related to payment of consideration amount or govt. charges. till the court doesnt issue a declaration of ownership, u not an owner.
