State of Haryana [1978 Punjab<br \/>\nLaw  Journal 78], the High Court dismissed the writ petition<br \/>\nfiled  by the appellants praying for issuance of  directions<br \/>\nprohibiting  the Gram Panchayat from leasing out the charand<br \/>\nland  and  to  keep land measuring 541 kanal  and  2  marlas<br \/>\nreserved  as charand for grazing up cattles.  The High Court<br \/>\nalso  did not consider it proper to grant the prayer of\t the<br \/>\nappellants  seeking  declaration that the land reserved\t for<br \/>\ncharand\t during\t consolidation\tcould not be  used  for\t the<br \/>\nincome\tof the Gram Panchayat as it stood allegedly deducted<br \/>\nfrom  the lands of the proprietors.  Not satisfied with\t the<br \/>\njudgment  of  the  Division  Bench of the  High\t Court,\t the<br \/>\nappellants have filed the present appeal with the submission<br \/>\nthat  the reservation of charand land for the income of Gram<br \/>\nPanchayat  violated Article 31A of the Constitution of India<br \/>\nas  was the ratio of the this Court in Bhagat Ram &amp; Ors.  v.<br \/>\nState  of Punjab &amp; Ors.\t [1967 (2) SCR 165].  It is  further<br \/>\nsubmitted that without paying any compensation at the market<br \/>\nvalue  to the proprietors of the village, the land could not<br \/>\nvest in the Gram Panchayat.  The reservation of Charand land<br \/>\nfor  the  income  of Gram Panchayat allegedly in  breach  of<br \/>\nSection\t 5 of the Act is stated to be illegal.\tThe  leasing<br \/>\nout  has been alleged to be in contravention of the  grazing<br \/>\nrights\tof  the\t proprietors   and  non-proprietors  of\t the<br \/>\nvillage.   There  is  no doubt that the appellants  are\t the<br \/>\ninhabitants  of\t village Khajuri, Tehsil Jagadari,  District<br \/>\nYamuna\tNagar,\tHaryana.  It is also not disputed  that\t the<br \/>\nland,\tthe   subject  matter  of   the\t  litigation   being<br \/>\nshamilat-deh  is vested in the Gram Panchayat.\tIt has\talso<br \/>\nto be noticed that after the vesting of the land in the Gram<br \/>\nPanchayat, none of the inhabitants of the village raised any<br \/>\nobjections  regarding  its vesting for a period of about  34<br \/>\nyears.\t It is also on record that some land out of shamilat<br \/>\ndeh  land  was\tbeing leased out to the proprietors  of\t the<br \/>\nvillage\t since\tthe  year 1976 and none of  the\t inhabitants<br \/>\nraised\tany objection.\tFrom the counter affidavit filed  on<br \/>\nbehalf of the respondents it appears that many of the family<br \/>\nmembers\t of the appellants, particularly, the brother of the<br \/>\nappellant  No.1\t had  themselves  been taking  the  land  in<br \/>\ndispute\t on  lease without raising any\tobjection.   Learned<br \/>\ncounsel\t appearing  for the appellants relying upon  a\tFull<br \/>\nBench  judgment\t of  the  Punjab &amp;  Haryana  High  Court  in<br \/>\nBishamber  Dayal  v.  State of Haryana &amp; Ors.  [1986  Punjab<br \/>\nLaw  Journal 208] submitted that the Gram Panchayat was\t not<br \/>\nentitled  to lease the land or use it in the manner it\tlike<br \/>\nwithout\t  following  the  procedure   and  subject  to\t the<br \/>\nrestrictions  placed on its use by the Punjab Village Common<br \/>\nLands  (Regulations) Rules, 1964 (hereinafter referred to as<br \/>\n&#8220;the  Rules&#8221;).\tReferring to Rule 3(2), the learned  counsel<br \/>\nsubmitted  that\t the  Gram Panchayat could use the  land  in<br \/>\nshamilat-deh  vested  in it under the Act either  itself  or<br \/>\nthrough another for anyone or more of the purposes specified<br \/>\ntherein.   One of the purposes referred to in clause (vi) is<br \/>\n&#8216;grazing  of  animals&#8217;.\t Learned counsel appearing  for\t the<br \/>\nrespondents  drew our attention to clause (xxv) of  Sub-rule<br \/>\n(2) of Rule 3 which authorised the Gram Panchayat to use the<br \/>\nland  for  the purposes of leasing out for cultivation.\t  He<br \/>\nalso  drew  our attention to the Division Bench judgment  of<br \/>\nthe  High Court in Khushi Puri&#8217;s case(supra) wherein it\t was<br \/>\nheld:\t&#8220;It  is provided by rule 3(2) of the Punjab  Village<br \/>\nCommon\tLands  (Regulation) Rules, 1964, that the  panchayat<br \/>\ncould  make  use  of the land in shamilat deh vested  in  it<br \/>\neither itself or through another for the purposes related to<br \/>\nforestry.   It\tcannot,\t therefore,  be\t gainsaid  that\t the<br \/>\nplantation  of\ttrees was such a purpose for which the\tland<br \/>\ncould not be utilised by the panchayat.\t Whatever rights the<br \/>\npanchayat  had for the management of the land devolved\tupon<br \/>\nthe Administrator and there is, therefore, no basis for this<br \/>\ncontention  made by the learned counsel for the\t petitioners<br \/>\nthat the Administrator acted beyond his powers.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>    In\tSalig  Ram  &amp; Ors.v.  Maksudan Singh &amp;\tOrs.   [1965<br \/>\nCurrent\t Law Journal 711], the High Court had earlier  held:<br \/>\n&#8220;&#8230;that  the panchayat has a right to use the shamilat\t deh<br \/>\nvested\tin  it under the 1954 Act either itself\t or  through<br \/>\nanother\t person in any of the manners set out in that  rule.<br \/>\nSimilar\t rules are stated to have been framed under the Act.<br \/>\nThis  shows that except to the extent to which the statutory<br \/>\nrules  indicate,  there\t is no fetter on the  power  of\t the<br \/>\npanchayat  to  use the shamilat deh which vests in it  under<br \/>\nthe Act for any of the specified purposes it likes and it is<br \/>\nnot necessary that what was grazing land out of the shamilat<br \/>\ndeh previous to such vesting, must continue to be such.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>    In\tBishamber Dayal&#8217;s case (supra) the Full Bench of the<br \/>\nCourt  had  considered\tand approved the view taken  by\t the<br \/>\nDivision  Bench\t in Khusi Puri&#8217;s case.\tIn that\t regard\t the<br \/>\nCourt had held:\n<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;The  Act  and the Rules empower the Gram  Panchayat  to<br \/>\nconvert\t a portion of the street for any one or more of\t the<br \/>\npurposes given in Rule 3(2).  A Division Bench of this Court<br \/>\nhad  an\t occasion  to construe the  provisions\tof  Sections<br \/>\n2(g)(4),  4 and 5 of the Act and Rule 3(2) of the Rules made<br \/>\nthereunder  in Khushi Puri&#8217;s case (supra).  It was held that<br \/>\nthe  Gram Panchayat could make use of the shamilat deh\tland<br \/>\nvested\tin  it\teither\titself or through  another  for\t the<br \/>\npurposes  mentioned  in Rule 3(2).  In that case a  part  of<br \/>\nCharand\t land  which  was used for grazing cattle  had\tbeen<br \/>\nentrusted  to  the Forest Department to plant  trees,  which<br \/>\nwere  to be the property of the Gram Panchayat.\t This action<br \/>\nof  the Gram Panchayat had been upheld by theDivision Bench.<br \/>\nShri  Bansal, learned counsel for the petitioner has  raised<br \/>\nno  contention before us that Khushi Puri&#8217;s case(supra) does<br \/>\nnot lay down the correct law or that the ratio thereof needs<br \/>\nreconsideration\t by  a larger Bench.  We are  in  respectful<br \/>\nagreement with the ratio of Khushi Ram&#8217;s case (supra).&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>    We\tdo  not\t agree with the submission  of\tthe  learned<br \/>\ncounsel of the appellants that in Bishamber Dayal&#8217;s case the@@<br \/>\n\t       JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ<br \/>\nFull Bench of the High Court had taken a different view than@@<br \/>\nJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ<br \/>\nthe  one  which was taken in Khushi Puri&#8217;s case.   The\tHigh<br \/>\nCourt  appears\tto  have  consistently held  that  the\tland<br \/>\nvesting\t in  the Gram Panchayat can be used for any  one  or<br \/>\nmore  of  the purposes specified in Sub-Rule (2) of Rule  3,<br \/>\nleasing\t out for cultivation being one of the purposes.\t  We<br \/>\nfind  no reason to disagree with the High Court and in\tfact<br \/>\napprove\t the  position of law settled by it in Khusi  Puri&#8217;s<br \/>\ncase which was upheld by the Full Bench in Bishamber Dayal&#8217;s<br \/>\ncase.  Learned counsel for the appellants then tried to make<br \/>\na distinction between the charand land and the shamilat deh.<br \/>\nIn support of his contentions he referred to Annexures I and<br \/>\nII  wherein the land, the subject matter of the dispute\t has<br \/>\nbeen defined to be charand land.  The definition of shamilat<br \/>\ndeh  proivdes that it shall include &#8220;lands described in\t the<br \/>\nrevenue\t record\t as  shamilat deh  or  (charand-in  Haryana)<br \/>\nexcluding  abadi deh&#8221;.\tRelying upon the Khushi Puri&#8217;s\tcase<br \/>\nthe  High  Court  in the impugned judgment  was,  therefore,<br \/>\nright  in  holding that there did not exist any\t distinction<br \/>\nbetween\t the charand and shamilat deh and the contention  of<br \/>\nthe appellants that the charand could not vest with the Gram<br \/>\nPanchayat  under  the Act was based upon wrong\tassumptions.<br \/>\nReliance  placed  by the learned counsel for the  appellants<br \/>\nupon  the judgment in Bhagat Ram&#8217;s case is misplaced besides@@<br \/>\n\t  JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ<br \/>\nbeing  without\tany  basis.   Despite  our  insistence,\t the@@<br \/>\nJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ<br \/>\nlearned\t counsel  for the appellants could not refer to\t any<br \/>\naverments  in  the  writ petition filed in  the\t High  Court<br \/>\nregarding  the\talleged\t violation  of Article\t31A  of\t the<br \/>\nConstitution.\tWe are also of the opinion that the  present<br \/>\npetition  though filed in a representative capacity, yet was<br \/>\nnot  a bonafide action inasmuch as the appellants and  their<br \/>\nrelations having accepted the position of law and earlier at<br \/>\ntimes taking the benefit of lease-hold rights could not have<br \/>\nrecourse to the legal proceedings after having failed to get<br \/>\nthe  lease in their favour or in favour of their  relations.<br \/>\nThe   delay   in  approaching\tthe  court   also   remained<br \/>\nunexplained.   There  is  no merit in this appeal  which  is<br \/>\naccordingly dismissed but without any order as to costs.@@<br \/>\n\t\t      JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India Shish Ram &amp; Ors vs The State Of Haryana &amp; Ors on 5 May, 2000 Author: Sethi Bench: S.
