Case Summary: Dhirubhai Golanbhai Vanarka v. Talati Cum Mantri Thadach Gram Panchayat (2023/21) The Principal District Judge, Bhavnagar dismissed the appellants' suit seeking declaration and permanent injunction regarding disputed village property. The court found that plaintiffs failed to prove continuous possession for 60-70 years (documents only covered 5-10 years prior to filing) and that the suit was not maintainable under Gujarat Panchayats Act sections 270-105, requiring notice before action against the panchayat. The court confirmed the trial court's judgment, finding plaintiffs were unauthorized occupants of government land subject to eviction under the Gujarat Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1972, placing the matter outside civil court jurisdiction.
