Disputes over 112,000 jeribs of state land settled in 9 provinces — Pajhwok

KABUL (Pajhwok): The Special Court for Addressing Cases of Grabbed State-Owned Land has issued orders to discontinue litigation concerning more than 112,000 jeribs of land in nine provinces over the past three years, an official said on Tuesday. Hamidullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), wrote on his X account that the special court dealing with cases involving the usurpation of state-owned land had issued the decisions after examining 15 cases related to state land over the past three years. He added that the special court had summoned the individuals concerned to submit ownership documents and evidence relating to the land. However, due to their failure to appear, the court issued orders to discontinue litigation in accordance with its investigations and judicial procedures and removed the relevant cases from its register. The land is located in Kunduz, Parwan, Kandahar, Ghazni, Nangarhar, Kapisa, Uruzgan, Ghor and Panjsher provinces. This measure was taken as part of the judicial review of cases involving state-owned land and the determination of their legal status. It reflects the continued pursuit of cases concerning grabbed state-owned land through the judicial authorities.
