Learned counsel for the petitioners has referred to the order/ communication dated 19.04.2021 (Annexure P-3) addressed to the Block Development and Panchayat Officer, Kapurthala, District Kapurthala directing the said official to take disciplinary action against the Sarpanch and to get registered case under Section 13-A of the Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 against the unauthorized occupants, who are in possession of the land. He further states that the land, which is the subject of the said order/communication is Jumla Malkan and therefore, could not be falling within the jurisdiction of the authority passing the said order. He, however, contends that in response thereof, a representation dated 25.05.2021 (Annexure P-4) has been submitted to the Director, Rural Development and Panchayat, Punjab-respondent No.2, which may be considered by the said authority so that the petitioners do not suffer unnecessary harassment.
