The apex court of Pakistan has passed an impressive verdict. It has protected all property owners in the country. On Tuesday, the court has ruled that all transactions or sale of land without the explicit permission of its owner shall be deemed totally unlawful.
The court has given its verdict through a three-member bench led by Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan. The court was passing its verdict in a case regarding contested land ownership. It was also emphasized that no agency could alter the record of any land ownership without the permission of its legal owner.
Owners Gain Strong Legal Protection
This landmark ruling brings relief to thousands of Pakistanis. Many fear their land could be sold behind their backs. In recent years, many cases have surfaced. Powerful individuals or groups used fake documents to transfer property without the real owner knowing. The Supreme Court has now shut that door firmly.
What This Means for Common Citizens
The verdict has come at a very crucial time. Issues of land-grabbing and property related disputes are prevalent in both rural and urban parts of the country. The experts in this field are of the opinion that this judgment will deter any kind of cheating.
It is mandatory for everybody concerned to adhere to the ruling laid down by the Supreme Court in any future case.
This bold decision taken by the highest court is receiving appreciation from not only the legal fraternity but also common people as it makes it absolutely clear that one cannot deal away other person’s property without consent.
