Responding to the claims, Udaipur Sub-Divisional Magistrate Tridip Sarkar stated that the land is officially listed as enemy property under the Enemy Property Act, 1968.
The Act pertains to properties left behind by nationals of Pakistan or Bangladesh who migrated during or after the Partition. Such properties are overseen by the Chief Custodian of Enemy Property, under the Government of India.
According to Sarkar, there are a total of 250 such properties within the Udaipur subdivision. “The process of bringing these under government custody is ongoing. A hearing for the specific land referenced has already been conducted, and the next is scheduled for Monday,” he said.
