Kashmir Singh & Others vs Panchayat Samiti, Ferozpur & Others

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's decision that the sale of land to the appellant was invalid under the Punjab Package Deal Properties (Disposal) Act, 1976, specifically Clause (1-A) of Section 2, which defines 'package deal property'. The Court found that the land in question was not a package deal property as it belonged to the District Board and was transferred to the Panchayat Samiti upon the Board's dissolution. Consequently, the sale made in favor of the appellant was declared fraudulent and without jurisdiction, affirming the High Court's cancellation of the sale.
