president ShashankManohar as a "power hungry backstabber", who has
failed to keep his promise of cleaning up the game.A peeved Verma went to the

Enemy
is a 2013 Canadian-Spanish psychological thriller film directed by Denis
Villeneuve, loosely adapted by Javier Gullón fromJosé Saramago's 2002 novel The
Double. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as two men who are physically identical,
but different in terms of personality. Away, the legal definition of “enemy” and
“enemy subject” shall include the legal heir and successor of an enemy, whether
a citizen of India or a citizen of a country which is not an enemy, and also
include the succeeding firm of an enemy firm in the definition of “enemy firm”
irrespective of the nationality of its members or partners.
The
Custodian of Enemy Property is an institution that handles property claims
created by war. In wartime, civilian property may be left behind or taken by
the occupying state. In ancient times, such property was considered war loot,
and the legal right of the winner. In the Fourth Geneva Convention Article 147,
such action is defined as war crime.
Wazir
Mansion or official Quaid-i-Azam Birthplace Museum is a former family home in
the Kharadar district of Karachi, Sindh,Pakistan which is considered the
birthplace of the country's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.The house now serves as
a museum and national archive and is a
protected national monument by the Government of Pakistan. Back home, in India, there is a building
associated with Jinnah. Jinnah House was
the residence of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan; in Mumbai, was
named South Court and was built in 1936 at a then exorbitant price of 200,000
rupees when Jinnah returned to Mumbai from England to take charge of the Muslim
League. Now worth around $60 million the house is the subject of a dispute
between India, the government of Pakistan and Jinnah's daughter Dina Jinnah.
The bungalow is located in the upmarket Malabar Hill area of South Mumbai. The
historic building was also the venue for the watershed talks on the Partition
of India in September 1944 between Jinnah and MK Gandhi.
Jinnah
was extremely attached to his house and reportedly requested to Nehru, to allot
his house to any foreign consulate, preferably European, as he wished it to be
given to a European family who would appreciate the architecture !As a personal
favour to Jinnah, Nehru did not declare the property as Enemy Property. In
1955, in a Cabinet speech he suggested it be given to the Government of
Pakistan, but could not gain the sanction of the Cabinet. Wikipedia reports that recently Dina Jinnah
has been involved in litigation regarding Jinnah House claiming that Hindu Law
is applicable to Jinnah as he was a Khoja, Shia.
The
Custodian of Enemy Property for India is an Indian government department that
is empowered to appropriate property in India owned by Pakistani nationals.
After theIndo-Pakistani War of 1965, the Enemy Property Act was promulgated in
1968. The act authorised the Central Government of India to appoint a custodian
for enemy property for India and one or more deputy/assistant custodians as
assistances. The Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Bill, 2016 was
introduced by Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Rajnath Singh, in LokSabha on March
8, 2016. The Bill seeks to amend the
Enemy Property Act, 1968 and the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised
Occupants) Act, 1971. It will replace
the Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Ordinance, 2016.

read this report in today’s Indian Express, Chennai edition, titled ‘ Pakistanis
own 'enemy property' worth Rs 1,375.22 crore in Kerala’ Pakistani nationals owning parcels of land in
God’s Own Country? Sounds weird and forbidding? Yes, it is a reality but not
menacing as one might think, and that’s ‘Enemy Property’ for you.
At
a time when people scramble for a piece of land in the state, as many as 60
Pakistan nationals own immovable properties worth Rs 1,375.22 crore in Kerala.
Though these “Enemy Property” are vested with the Custodian of Enemy Property
(CEP) under the Union Home Ministry, their legal heirs are enjoying the
benefits.Kerala has the fifth highest valued landholdings owned by Pakistanis
in the country next only to Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and
Andhra Pradesh, according to Ministry of Home Affairs.The State Revenue Dept
records show Malappuram with the highest number of Pakistani-owned landholdings
(45) followed by Kozhikode (9), Kannur (5), Palakkad (1) and Thrissur (1).
“The
Pakistani citizens do not have any right over the land in the state as they
belong to the Centre,” said Assistant Commissioner (Land Assignment). The survey was conducted to identify movable
and immovable assets of Pakistan and Chinese nationals.Intelligence officers
said the respective district revenue offices have been directed to be alert
that there were no encroachments on these land-holdings.
