Mr. Manzoor Ahmed candidly concedes that the powers anti functions which were originally exercisable by Revenue Officers stand devolved upon the respondent No.1 in terms of section 14 read with Item XXVI of the First Schedule to Sindh Local Government Ordinance, 2001. It would accordingly follow that the duty to maintain record of rights and cause mutation therein now vests in the respondent No.1.
2. In view of the above, the respondent No.1 are directed to effect " appropriate mutation under the provisions of the Sindh Land Revenue Act, 1967, if the provisions of the Act so required, within two months from today. In case mutation could not be effected for any valid reason, the respondent No. 1 would apprise the petitioner in writing the grounds for such refusal. H.B.T./F-14/K Order accordingly.
