Azad Jammu and Kashmir Evacuee Property (Multiple Allotments) Act, 1961 (Act I of 1961).

This Act aims to provide for more effective investigation on multiple allotments of evacuee property obtained by certain persons in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Territory as well as in Pakistan. The Act specifies administrative and legal proceedings to control multiple allotments obtained by people in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Territory. The Government may appoint a Judge of a High Court to investigate every allotment of evacuee property in respect of which any irregularity by way of multiple allotment has been committed and reopen any multiple allotment. Where it is found that a person obtained any multiple allotment the authority appointed to reopen such allotments shall cancel or modify the allotment of evacuee property in Pakistan or the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Territory taken as a whole, so that ceases to be a multiple allotment. The property in respect of which the allotment is cancelled shall be directed to be taken possession of by the Rehabilitation Authority and be available for allotment to other deserving persons.
