Change in Guidelines
According to a Home Ministry notification, the guidelines for disposal of enemy properties have been changed, under which the process of eviction of enemy properties will be initiated with the help of the concerned District Magistrate or Deputy Commissioner before the sale of the properties. According to the notification, in case the value of the enemy property is less than Rs 1 crore, the custodian will make an offer to purchase the property to the first occupier. If they refuse it, the enemy property will be disposed of as per the procedure specified in the guidelines.
