Case Summary: Sadhu Singh v. State of Punjab (SLP(C) No. 19031/2012) The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by Sadhu Singh challenging the High Court's decision that the disputed land is Shamlat Deh (village common land) vesting in Gram Panchayat, not the petitioners. The Court found that revenue records from 1950-51 and 1954-55 clearly showed the land as grazing ground, and mere entry of petitioners' predecessors' names in 1958-59 cultivation records could not confer ownership title. The Sub-Divisional Officer, Patiala was directed to take possession of the land within one month and hand it over to Gram Panchayat for common village use.
