Case Summary: Gram Panchayat, Ambala v. Dedar Singh (C.A. No. 5194/1998) On 29 January 2004, the Supreme Court dismissed Gram Panchayat's civil appeals challenging the respondents' ownership rights over disputed land. The Court upheld concurrent findings that the land had been partitioned among individual holders before 26 January 1950 and thus fell outside the definition of "shamilat deh" (village common land) under the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulations) Act, 1961, meaning it did not vest in the Gram Panchayat. Applications for intervention were also dismissed with no costs awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
