STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

The Jammu and Kashmir Land Grants Act, 1960 was a landmark legislation that regulated the lease of Government lands for residential, commercial, and public purposes, balancing development with social equity.

The Jammu and Kashmir Land Grant Rules, 2022, issued without legislative consultation, drastically altered this framework by :

- Ending the long-standing renewal rights of lessees;

- Introducing auction-based reallocations;

- Curtailing lease periods; and

- Opening the door for non-residents entities to acquire prime land.

These changes have led to insecurity among lawful leaseholders, dislocation of local businesses, and erosion of community confidence in land governance.

This Bill seeks to :

1. Repeal the Jammu & Kashmir Land Grants Rules, 2022:

2. Restore the original 1960 Land Grants framework ;

3. Protect existing lessees from eviction ; and

4. Ensure that land in Jammu and Kashmir remains primarily for the benefit of its people.
