Revenue record corrections do not create title; unapproved resolutions cannot confer rights, and erroneous entries may be corrected validly.

A wrong entry in revenue or consolidation records does not create title, and an order correcting that entry remains valid if the statutory power to do so otherwise exists, even where the wrong provision is cited. The land had vested in the gram sabha, no lease had been executed in favour of the appellant with the required approval, and the unapproved resolution could not confer any legal right or title. The collector's deletion of the appellant's name was therefore treated as a consequential correction of an erroneous record, and the challenge to the correction failed.

Issues: Whether the collector was justified in deleting the appellant's name from the consolidation record and substituting the names of the respondents, and whether the unapproved resolution and earlier revenue entries conferred any right or title on the appellant.

Analysis: The land vested in the gram sabha and no lease had been executed in favour of the appellant with the required approval of the assistant collector. The earlier order directing mutation in the appellant's favour had already been held erroneous and the wrong entry in the revenue record had been ordered to be expunged. In these circumstances, the collector's order was only a consequential correction of an incorrect entry continuing in the consolidation record. The resolution relied upon by the appellant had no legal sanctity without approval and could not confer title. The fact that the collector referred to an incorrect provision did not invalidate the order where the power to correct the wrong entry was otherwise available under the consolidation law.

Conclusion: The deletion of the appellant's name from the revenue and consolidation record was valid, and the challenge to the collector's order failed.

Ratio Decidendi: A wrong entry in revenue or consolidation records does not create title, and an order correcting such an entry is sustainable if it is otherwise supportable under the statutory power available, even where an incorrect provision is cited.
