COMMENTS

The Panchayat has unfettered rights to use Shamilat deh vested in it either the Shamilat law or the present Act of 1961, except to the extent to which the statutory law and the rules indicate for any of the specified purpose it like and it is not necessary that what was grazing land out of Shamilat deh previous to such vesting must continue to be such4.

On cancellation of lease of Shamilat deh, given in contravention of the Rules, it has been held that infraction of the legal right resting in the petitioner is a foundation of jurisdiction under Art. 226 of the Constitution. Cancellation of the lease of Shamilat
deh land granted to him in infringement of rule 3 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation ) Rules 1964, being null and void, gave him no such right the infraction of which he would complain, or in respect of which he could seek relief under the provisions of Articles 226 of the Constitution5.
