Land Laws: In Haryana, No further claim of land against land displaced during partition in Pakistan

Those who lost their land in Pakistan, were alloted land in India under The Provisions of Displaced Persons (Compensation & Rehabilitation) Act, 1954.

It appears that 21.6.1996, a letter is issued by Joint Secretary to Government of Haryana, Rehabilitation Department, Chandigarh which contains a Decision of Government that no such claim is to be further entertained.

Above situation appears in Case of State of Haryana vs Praduman Singh Dead by Lrs 2011(2)Scale 624 on page 625
