A detailed report on the swift disposal of these cases was presented on Saturday during a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

The meeting reviewed the implementation of the new Property Ordinance, which aims to accelerate decisions and ensure immediate physical possession for rightful owners.

CM Maryam said no delay, recommendation, or negligence would be tolerated in land matters.

She directed officials to prioritise cases involving women and ensure that every order was followed by prompt handover of possession.

“The decision is incomplete until the rightful owner takes possession,” she said. “The ownership should not remain only on paper. It must be visible on the ground.”

Officials told the meeting that families who had spent years fighting their cases in courts finally received their land back within 48 hours.

The chief minister said the province’s land belongs only to its legitimate owners, whether a marla, a kanal, or an acre.

She urged citizens to report any illegal occupation directly to their district deputy commissioner’s office, promising that cases would now be decided within days.

CM Maryam reaffirmed strict enforcement of the ordinance and protection of property rights across Punjab.
