DMAI vs

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Haryana Amendment Act, 1974, which sought to empower the Assistant Collector to set aside civil court decrees regarding village common lands, is unconstitutional as it abrogates civil court decrees/orders without altering the legal basis of the original law. The Court emphasized that a competent legislature cannot nullify judicial adjudications merely through legislative declarations. The judgment reaffirmed the principle that civil court decrees must be respected unless legally altered through proper legislative processes.
