JUDGEMENT
S.N.Aggarwal, J. -
(1.) This application was filed by respondent No.5 for disposing
of this petition in terms of the judgment rendered by the Full Bench
of this court on 13.3.2003 in the case titled as Jai Singh vs. State of
Haryana (CWP No. 5877 of 1992).
(2.) The facts of the case are that the petitioners are proprietors of
village Shahpur, Tehsil Naraingarh, District Ambala. They were the
share holders as well as the cultivators of the land shown as Mustarka
Malkan in the village. Consolidation proceedings had taken place in
1957. During consolidation pro-rata cut was applied and the land was
shown as Bachat land and the ownership by way of mutation was
transferred in favour of Gram Panchayat. The said mutation has been
challenged by filing the writ petition.
Respondents No. 2 to 4 in the written statement admitted that
at the time of consolidation, Mustarka Malkan Khewat was
constituted by deducting the land of proprietors. Respondent-Gram
Panchayat has also filed the written statement. Although it was
pleaded that the land was left for the common purpose of the residents
of the village, but no such purpose is discernible from the jamabandi.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioners and respondent No.5
agree that this case is covered by the Full Bench judgment of this
Court reported as Jai Singh vs. State of Haryana (CWP No. 5877 of
1992) decided on 13.3.2003. Para 62 (iii) and 62 (iv) of the Full
Bench judgment read as under :-
"62 (iii) the lands which have been contributed by the
proprietors on the basis of pro-rata cut on their holdings

Jumla Mustarka Malkan Wa Digar Haqdaran Hasab Rasad

(iv) all such lands, which have been, as per the
consolidation scheme, reserved for common purpose,
whether utilised or not, shall vest with the State
Government or the Gram Panchayat, as the case may be,
even though in the column of ownership the entries may
be Jumla Mustarka Malkan Wa Digar Haqdaran Hasab
Rasad Arazi Khewat etc.";
