Deputy commissioners throughout the country have finalised lists of vested properties, and the government will finally settle the repeal or amendment of the Vested Properties Act by the end of this year, land minister Rezaul Karim said Tuesday.
Karim said, "The vested property issue will come to a close in Bangladesh after 37 years of independence. We'll have the list from the DCs soon. Necessary amendments can be made by December, which will not leave any further complications."
The controversial law was first introduced as the Enemy Property Act by the Pakistan government in the 1960s to confiscate property from individuals it deemed as an enemy of the state, in particular the property of Hindus who left Pakistan and settled in India after partition in 1947.
