The Supreme Court, on 31 January 2011, declared transfer of village community land for private and commercial use illegal and directed the states to take immediate measures to evict encroachers. The Supreme Court noted the importance of village community land.

A bench of Justices Markandey Katju and Gyan Sudha Misra ruled this.
It directed the state governments to take action for eviction of illegal occupants of village community land and restore the land to its original purpose.


It quashed a 2007 order of the Punjab government which had permitted regularization of unauthorized occupation of a village community land in Patiala district by trespassers.
