Vested Property
More time for appeal sought
Rights activists and civil society members yesterday demanded extension of the deadline till December 31 for lodging appeal with courts claiming ownership of any vested property.
Although the government has issued gazette notification in different upazilas, people are neither aware of the gazette nor the procedure for lodging appeal due to unavailability of the gazette copies, they told a press conference.
In addition, the government-set 120-day timeframe after gazette notification is also too short to collect necessary documents and file appeals, they said.
Eight different non-government organisations, including Hindu-Buddha-Christian Oikya Parishad, Association for Land Reform and Development, Nijera Kori and Ain o Salish Kendra, jointly organised the event at Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
