Jagpal Singh & Ors vs State Of Punjab & Ors on 28 January, 2011
In view of the above clear facts, the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case Jagpal Singh & Ors. Vs. State of Punjab
and Ors.(supra) would not assist the petitioner, inasmuch as the said
decision concerned with the encroachment on land, which was
admittedly a Grampanchayat land. In this case the revenue record
indicates that the land does not belong to Grampanchayat but is of
private ownership. This is also not a case of any encroachment on the
gram-panchayat land. The revenue record clearly indicates names of
private persons.
