HC grants interim stay on Punjab’s land-pooling policy

The direction came on a petition filed by Gurdeep Singh Gill, challenging the Punjab government’s land-pooling policy, 2025.

After the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel, Gurjeet Singh, said the court had granted an interim stay on the policy.

“A four-week time has been given for filing the reply,” he told reporters.

The counsel said neither was any social impact assessment nor any environment-related assessment carried out under the land-pooling policy.
