Gram Panchayat Land

Sir,
How can a Trust/NGO utilise the Gram Sabha land for social welfare. Does Gram Pradhan had some power to issue the Gram Panchayat Land to a Trust . And if is it so, then what is the procedure.
Earlier I asked that a school can be opened by a trust in Gram Panchayat Land or not?
Hope a best reply.

The decision of the Gram Panchayat may have to be endorsed by state govt.

Let the counsel of the trust opine by providing legal opinion in writing after examining the state govt rules e.g;

The Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Rules, 1964; 3

The Punjab Village Common Lands Regulation Act 1961 Punjab Act No. 18 of 1961;3

You may also try to ascertain from O/o Authority e.g; Collector Office

You may take help of elders of your family, competent and experienced well wishers, seasoned PIP’s, helpgroups, community leaders, NGO’s, experienced colleagues, associations, etc to resolve the matter if any, and/or find a very able LOCAL counsel specializing in concerned filed of law e.g; Revenue/Trust/Civil matters as in your case, and well versed with LOCAL applicable rules, revenue codes/rules, precedence, latest judgments etc …. and worth his/her salt, can advise you and even help you.

Online discussions are not substitute to in person discussions with a very able counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in concerned field of law.

There are such very able counsels at each location.

Check for such counsels at LOCAL e.g;, Revenue/Civil courts, HC, SC …

You can also try to get free legal advice from FREE Legal Aid that is usually in LOCAL courts Complex..preferably from a counsel specializing in concerned filed of law e.g; Civil matters.

In the meantime you may go thru;
