Abstract

This Act aims to revise and consolidate the law relating to the management of lands or other immovable property left by non- Muslims in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir State. It establishes that all leases for cultivation of abandoned land and management of other abandoned immovable property shall be granted on a cash rent to be fixed by the Deputy Commissioner of the District in which such property is situate. While fixing rent under section 3 the Deputy Commissioner shall keep in view the orders that may be issued by the Government with regard to the basis and other terms upon which such rent is to be fixed. The Deputy Commissioner may authorize any officer to execute the purposes of this Act in the fixation or realization of such rent. All persons to whom leases are granted under this Act or who are otherwise in possession of abandoned land or other abandoned immovable property shall pay the rent so fixed to the Deputy Commissioner or other authorized person.
