- Petition filed under Articles 226/227 seeking direction to respondents No.2‑6 to cancel land‑record mutations dated 22.04.2026, 13.01.2026, 12.12.2025, 11.12.2025, 01.12.2025, and 26.11.2025, which were sanctioned despite attachment orders issued by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
- Underlying dispute: Petitioner’s complaint before the State Commission against builder M/s Royal Empire, Zirakpur, regarding possession of Flat No.501, Block‑F, Royal Apartments.

- The State Commission restored execution application No. 81 of 2020 on 29.09.2025. The petitioner sent multiple letters (26.11.2025, 01.12.2025, 11.12.2025, 12.12.2025, 14.01.2026, 22.04.2026) requesting cancellation of the mutations.
