HRF demands repeal of AP Land Titling Act
The HinduThe Human Rights Forum demanded that the State government repeal the AP Land Titling Act, 2023, saying that the proposed transfer of the property disputes from the jurisdiction of civil courts to that of the revenue authorities was flawed. Srinivasulu, general secretary Y. Rajesh and secretary G. Rohit said in a press release that while the objective of the APLTA was to provide permanent titles to immovable assets, in actuality, it would divest the marginalised sections of their properties. They observed that the State government enacted the APLTA in tune with the Central government’s goal of digitising the records of immovable properties but without carrying out the necessary consultative processes with the opposition parties and society. The APLTA prescribes that people who own any immovable property must get it registered with the title registration officer to obtain a permanent title, whether or not the property ownership was disputed.
