Vikram Mishra, Lucknow. There is no law in independent India till date regarding Nazul property. For the first time, the Nazul Act was presented in the House by the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh. But that too has been shelved. Let us tell you that in 1895, the Government Grand Act was introduced in the British government. Under which there was a provision for taking land on lease. At that time, the population of cities was also very low and there was plenty of agricultural land. Whose prices were also very high. That is why the British government had decided to lease the land of cities by breaking it into pieces. But today the situation has changed. In the year 2020, the act made by the British was presented again. There is a provision for renewal in the Government Grand Act. But the person living in it could not become the owner of the land. Nor is he entitled to sell the land to anyone else.
There is no law of freehold
In the year 1992, a policy was brought regarding freehold land. Whereas according to the Housing Department, on the basis of court order, it was said that no land can be made freehold. This was the year when the brokers started the game of freehold.
Cases revealed during investigation
To grab Nazul land, an unregistered will is made and then the concerned person goes to court citing Section 173.
After the Act is passed, no person will be able to take possession of Nazul land
In case the Nazul Act comes into effect, no land in Uttar Pradesh will be given freehold in favour of a private person, company or institution. Whereas in case the lease of freehold ends, the government can use the land for public interest such as hospitals, schools, offices etc.
