Jammu and Kashmir Migrant Immovable Property (Preservation, Protection and Restraint on Distress Sales) Act, 1997
General199714 sections
This law safeguards the homes and land of people who migrated from the Kashmir Valley after 1989 due to unrest. It applies specifically to these migrants and their property. The government takes custody of the property to stop it from being sold or lost by the owners. It also empowers authorities to remove unauthorized occupants. The main goal is to ensure that migrants can reclaim their assets and that their homes are preserved for their return, rather than being sold off or taken by others during the difficult times they faced.
