Bare Act

The Jammu and Kashmir Alienation of the Land (Validation) Act, 1962

This Act enables the Revenue Minister of Jammu and Kashmir to validate certain land transactions made during July 10-23, 1959, despite the repeal of the previous law. It applies to all types of land transfers like sales, mortgages, exchanges, and leases that occurred during that specific one-week period. The Minister may confirm these transactions if there was a genuine purpose for them and if the price or terms were fair, especially for longer leases. The Act prevents financial hardship by allowing past land deals to become legally recognized, ensuring that transfers made during that temporary window can stand despite the prior restrictions that have since been removed.
