But the illegal occupants moved to Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court which granted a stay in the matter.
Finally, with persistent efforts the stay was vacated and the warrant of possession has been successfully implemented in favour of Gram Panchayat Samgauli. The land is rid of all illegal occupants and has been handed over to the Gram Panchayat which can now be duly utilized for common purposes.
