Entry in revenue records does not confer title - Apex Court citation

In Suraj Bhan and Others v. Financial Commissioner and Others
[(2007) 6 SCC 186],


"That an entry in revenue records does not confer title on a person whose name appears in record-of-rights. It is settled law that entries in the revenue records or jamabandi have only "fiscal purpose" i.e. payment of land revenue, and no ownership is conferred on the basis of such entries. So far as title to the property is
concerned, it can only be decided by a competent civil court
