The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly has passed the Rajasthan Prohibition of Transfer of Immovable Property in Disturbed Areas Bill to regulate property transactions in areas declared ‘disturbed’. While the government says the law will provide administrative oversight and prevent coercion or distress sales, critics warn it could increase bureaucratic oversight, allow arbitrary classification of disturbed areas, and reinforce communal segregation in housing markets.
The story so far:
The Rajasthan Prohibition of Transfer of Immovable Property in Disturbed Areas Bill was passed by the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly on March 6 in a voice vote. The Bill seeks to regulate property transactions in areas that the government declares as “disturbed”. However, the legislation has sparked debate over its constitutional validity, potential misuse, and its broader social and economic implications.
