Kot Addu: [ReNews Pakistan]
A 90 year old widow in Kot Addu has finally regained possession of her land after a prolonged legal and familial dispute spanning 56 years, following action by the local administration to recover the property from alleged illegal occupation.
The case originates from Bait Qaim Wala in Basti Gaadi, where the widow’s one kanal and three marlas of land had allegedly remained under the possession of her close relatives, identified as Jahangir and Muhammad Rashid, for more than five decades.
According to the report, the elderly woman had consistently sought restoration of her property over the years, but repeated efforts by local elders and community members to resolve the dispute through mediation did not succeed.
The matter remained unresolved until the local administration intervened and carried out an operation to retrieve the land, ultimately restoring it to the widow’s ownership and possession.
The dispute, described as one of long duration, drew attention due to both the extended timeframe and the age of the claimant, who spent decades attempting to recover her property.
Officials have not provided detailed information regarding the specific legal or procedural steps taken during the recovery process, but confirmed that the land had been returned after being declared under unlawful occupation.
With the administrative action completed, the decades-old property dispute has now been concluded, bringing relief to the elderly widow after a prolonged legal and personal struggle.
