As per case facts, the appellants filed a writ petition challenging the Gram Panchayat's decision to lease out 'charand' land, claiming it infringed upon grazing rights, violated Article 31A of ... the Constitution, and was illegally deducted from proprietors' lands without compensation. The High Court dismissed the petition, ruling that 'charand' land falls under 'shamilat-deh' and vests in the Gram Panchayat. The question arose whether the Gram Panchayat could legally lease out 'charand' land for income, given the appellants' claims of violated rights and the land's original purpose. Finally, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment, confirming that 'charand' land is 'shamilat-deh' and vests in the Gram Panchayat, which is empowered by law to use or lease such land for various specified purposes, including cultivation. The Court also noted the appellants' significant delay in raising objections, further weakening their claim.
