चारागाह
Village common grazing land, set aside for the livestock of the village. It is community land: not allotted, not private, and not saleable by anyone. Occupation, however long and however widely accepted locally, does not create title or a right to sell, and the Supreme Court's directions in Jagpal Singh v. State of Punjab hardened that position considerably. Money paid for charagah land buys a dispute rather than a field.
