Sivia, DAG, Punjab, for the State of Punjab. .... K. KANNAN J (Oral) Both the cases refer to the similar issue of binding nature of a civil court decree, where the panchayat was a party and it sought for an adjudication regarding title and ejectment under Sections 7 and 11 of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961. The revenue authorities have no jurisdiction to enter into dispute regarding title again and the previous decision by a civil court decree on merits between the same parties would operate as res-judicata. The impugned proceedings are quashed and the writ petitions are allowed. 3.5.2011 ( K. KANNAN ) GS JUDGE
