A Bill to amend the nearly 50-year-old Enemy Property Act is likely to be introduced in Rajya Sabha on Friday. The Bill, once passed by Parliament, will replace the ordinance promulgated by the government after it failed to amend the Enemy Property Act, which guards against claims of succession or transfer of properties left by people who migrated to Pakistan and China after wars.
"The Bill to amend the Enemy Property Act will be introduced in the Upper House on Friday," a senior Home Ministry official said.
The second half of the Budget session begins on Thursday.
The Enemy Property (Amendment and Validation) Fifth Ordinance, 2016 was promulgated on December 22, 2016. It was promulgated four times in the past. Agencies
