https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196291 On vesting of pasture land in the State under Section 3 of the Himachal Pradesh Village Common Lands Vesting and Utilization Act, 1974, the statutory phrase "free from all encumbrances" was held wide enough to extinguish easementary grazing and allied user rights. The non obstante vesting provision was treated as removing not only title but every burden affecting the land, and the distinction between rights in land and rights over land was found immaterial to that legislative scheme. Accordingly, village community pasture rights did not survive the vesting unless expressly preserved by the statute. en-us Tue, 04 Sep 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 24 Jun 2025 17:34:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196291 On vesting of pasture land in the State under Section 3 of the Himachal Pradesh Village Common Lands Vesting and Utilization Act, 1974, the statutory phrase "free from all encumbrances" was held wide enough to extinguish easementary grazing and allied user rights.
