casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 008687/2012 - Dalip Ram v. The State of Punjab Court Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petition and upheld the eviction of Dalip Ram from Shamlat Deh (village common land) in Punjab. The Court held that Ram was an unauthorized occupant after his leasehold expired in 1971 and could not claim protection under the 1995 amendment to Section 2(g)(ii-a) of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961. Key Findings: The land was granted to Ram's father for 10 years on lease at ₹2/acre in 1961. After expiry, Ram continued possession without paying rent. The Court clarified that "lease" and "allotment" are distinct—a lessee cannot claim permanent ownership. The statutory amendment protecting quasi-permanent allotments to displaced persons did not apply since Ram was a mere lessee, not a displaced person receiving quasi-permanent allotment.
