The Jammu and Kashmir administration has resumed the attestation of land mutation records and directed that all pending cases be cleared within a week.
The state government of Jammu and Kashmir announced on Monday that the attestation of land mutation certificates, which had been suspended earlier, is now back in operation. The decision aims to clear the backlog of pending mutation applications that have been causing delays for property owners.
Officials from the Revenue Department instructed all district offices to process the pending attestations and complete the disposal within seven days of receipt. The directive also emphasizes strict adherence to the prescribed verification procedures to prevent any irregularities.
Stakeholders, including landowners and real‑estate agents, welcomed the move, noting that the swift clearance will facilitate smoother property transactions and reduce litigation. The administration has promised regular monitoring to ensure the timeline is met.
The resumption comes as part of broader efforts by the J&K government to streamline land‑related services and improve governance in the region.
