‘A Guide on Land and Property Rights in Pakistan’ was designed and prepared to facilitate the basic understanding of the complex principles of the Pakistani land and revenue administration system. The first edition, printed in December 2011, was warmly received by lawyers, national civil society organisations, community leaders, local authorities, donor agencies, and international affairs organisations, engaged in relief, rehabilitation, development or other similar works that necessitate some basic understanding of the land administration system in Pakistan. It was re-printed several times in the past twelve months.
This Second Edition of ‘A Guide on Land and Property Rights in Pakistan’ has been updated with an additional chapter, ‘Property Rights of Women’. It is hoped that this simple Guide will continue to be of use to the public and officials, and it serves as a first step towards simplification and modernisation of the land administration system in Pakistan.
