Panchayat and thereupon such road or roads shall, notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1), but subject to the other provisions of this Act, stand transferred to and vest in, such Village Panchayat.
Wie (5) It shall not be lawful for any persons to occupy any land which is transferred to and vested in a 82[x x] Panchayat under sub-section (1) or sub-section (4), whether a poramboke or not, without prior permission from the 82[x x] Panchayat concerned.
Explanation. For the removal of doubts it is hereby declared that the erection of any wall, fence or building or the putting up of any overhanging structure or projection (whether on a temporary or permanent basis) on or over any land aforesaid shall be deemed to be occupation of such land.
If a pathway is within the confines of a house, however sprawling it may be, whatever lies therein may be private in character and private in use. Once it is meant to connect somebody else's, thus becoming part of a network of roads or paths, however short or insignificant its extent and reach may be, it is to sub-serve the public purpose of providing access to and fro. Once a property assumes the character, say, a road or a path, having the potential of being a public utility, it ceases to have any exclusivity, for the individual interest is to yield to the common good. John Donne declares: No man is an island entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. The legislative wisdom has ensured that there should not be private fiefdoms and zones of exclusivity shutting out access to the general public. – Mariam Beevi v.

In the case of public roads, which have already vested in Panchayat under Section 169(1), there need not be any separate notification by Government as contemplated by Sub-section 4. - Lilly v.

The property may vest in title in possession or in a limited sense, as indicated by the context in which it may have been used in particular piece of legislation. – Executive Officer, Kavilampara Panchayat v.
