c) Section 2(18) & 145

Answer: a) 2(10) &

— The term Gaothan comes from the Marathi word “gaon,” meaning village. So, in simple terms, Gaothan refers to the original or central inhabited area of a village. Think of it as the traditional core settlement, where houses, small shops, temples, and panchayat offices were historically located.
The Gaothan meaning has both cultural and legal
significance. In the eyes of the state, Gaothan areas are those recognized as
inhabited zones by the revenue department in the village map. These areas are
generally exempt from certain permissions and rules required for construction
in non-urban areas, making them attractive for development.
Gaothan land holds value because it often does not
require NA (Non-Agricultural) conversion, which is mandatory for other
agricultural land to be used for construction. This gives it a unique status in
the eyes of land developers and homebuyers alike.
It shall be
lawful for the Collector or for a survey officer acting under the general or
special orders of the State Government, to ascertain and determine what lands
are included within the site of any village, town or city and to fix and from

being had to all subsisting rights of landholders.

Answer:
(1) Under the Evacuee Property Act, 1950, an evacuee means a person who, on or
after March 1, 1947, left India due to the partition of India and Pakistan or
due to civil disturbances or fear of such disturbances, and
(2) a person who is a resident of a place
that has now become part of Pakistan, and is therefore unable to hold, maintain
or manage his property in any area to which this Act applies, or whose property
in any part of these territories has been confiscated; or
(3) a person who, after August 14, 1947, has
acquired any right or interest in any property, other than by purchase or
exchange, under any law in Pakistan, which property is considered evacuee
property under the laws of Pakistan.

Any property in which an evacuee has any right or interest (personally or as a
trustee or as a beneficiary or in any other capacity), (1) which property has

(2) which property is considered evacuee or
abandoned property under any law in force in Pakistan, unless it has been

Answer:
After the Indo-China war of 1962 and the Indo-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971,
the Indian government seized the movable and immovable properties left behind
by people who had left India. These properties, spread across several states in
India, are known as enemy properties.
Enemy property refers to property owned by a
person or entity associated with an enemy nation. Specifically, according to
the Enemy Property Act, 1968, the immovable properties of individuals who
migrated to Pakistan after the partition of 1947 or after the wars of 1965 and
1971 and acquired Pakistani citizenship are declared as 'enemy property'.
