    Case Summary: LPA 326/2025 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir allowed the appellants' appeal against the writ court's dismissal, finding that they were entitled to property ownership rights under Government Order 1981, not the invalidated Roshni Act 2001. The court held the appellants were lawful lessees—not unauthorized occupants—continuously holding Nazool land since 1957 with periodically extended leases. The respondents erred in wrongly applying the Roshni framework despite the appellants' consistent requests for 1981 Order treatment and depositing ₹30 lakhs per Kanal as recommended by officials. The court directed regularization of the 5-marla property at Kothibagh under Government Order 1981 within three months, granting parity with similarly situated cases like Hotel Ahdoos.
