Hi Marshall
I have no problem with this, if the Law says NO then its NO.
If Goa had the same rule as the Kashmiri government regarding the owning of
land, then this would be alright for everyone, then no "outsider" be they from
the next State of next country, or UK or wherever, then we would NOT be in
this situation now. But was this about the land? Did they purchase the land
itself? I think it was just the property, but this needs to be clarified by
the buyers.
This was not about the land methinks, I suspect it was the house & garden,
the money spent buying it and doing it over.
This couple DID buy the house. I dispute whether they actually bought the
land that went with it. Would this couple please respond, did you actually buy
the LAND that went with the house (freehold as they call it in UK), or was it
leasehold? etc.
In any event, they bought PROPERTY, legally. They now do not have the right
to live in it.
Perhaps they can now be just like the majority of "investors" in the State,
rent it out to other foreigners, since the alternative is to have it
confiscated and sold at auction.
Or are they not allowed to do this either?
It seems to endless, but as you say, the Kashmiris only can buy land, but can
anyone else buy the house that is built on top of it? Rent the house and the
land?
My what a tangled web............

Comment: Non Himachalis too are barred from buying land in Himachal Pradesh. I
believe similar restricions prevail in some of the north eastern states like
Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, etc. Goa too should have passed similar laws but
then it has been the legislators who have been instrumental in selling Goa.It
is no use blaming the outsiders. Unless there are sellers, there will be no
buyers.
