Kallar Syedan (Pothwar.com — Ikram-ul-Haq Qureshi | July 2, 2026) — Citizens and legal experts across Punjab have raised serious concerns over the suspension of issuance of “Fard” (property ownership record) for land buying and selling, along with the newly introduced online land partition system.
While welcoming the government’s initiative to digitise revenue and land record services, citizens and legal circles have urged that the system should first be tested in a single tehsil as a pilot project before being implemented across the province. They believe this would help identify practical difficulties, technical flaws, and public grievances more effectively.
Citizens say that the current online system contains several fundamental issues. For instance, in cases where ten or more applicants are involved in a land partition case, the system does not allow all applicants to be included in a single application, as it only permits a single applicant entry. Similarly, there is no proper mechanism to include multiple respondents in the same application.
Senior lawyer Advocate Javed Chishti raised further concerns, questioning how a “single ownership” Green Property Certificate would be issued in cases involving collective mutation or multiple stakeholders, as the system currently supports only single ownership entries. He also pointed out that if multiple respondents wish to submit a joint reply, the system does not provide such functionality.
He further questioned the meaning of the “additional documents” option in the system and which documents are mandatory for upload. He also raised concerns about how applicants will be informed about objections raised on their applications, especially when the system frequently faces technical errors while attempting to resolve such objections.
According to legal experts, the most critical issue is the non-issuance of Fard (land record), while courts in the future are expected to rely heavily on Green Property Certificates as primary evidence. However, obtaining a Green Property Certificate requires single ownership, which in turn requires land partition, and partition itself requires Fard — which is currently not being issued. This has created a complicated deadlock in the entire system.
Experts have demanded that all technical, legal, and practical issues be resolved before full implementation of the online revenue system to ensure public convenience and to avoid further complications in legal and administrative matters.
