Enemy Property Ordinance, 1965

 

Whether the joint property without partition left by owner of 2/3rd share in the property should be declared as enemy property by virtue of enemy property law and vested in the Govt.

Held It has been settled that 1/3rd share of the plaintiff opposite party No. 1 and 2/3rd share of co-sharers on left the country and their property was possessed and enjoyed by the plaintiff opposite party as the property was joint having no partition. In the circumstance the government ‘by declaring the property as enemy property or vested property could not take possession of the same and uless the share of the parties is determined by partition suit, the undivided property cannot be declared as Enemy Property—The property is a Hindu joint family property and the plaintiff opposite party No. 1 is living in the house and so the same cannot be leased out to any other persons of other religion— I discharged the rule.
