The Punjab and Haryana High Court has upheld a five-year transfer ban on plots allotted to individuals whose land was acquired by the government. The court ruled that these plots are intended for rehabilitation and to prevent economic inequality, not for speculative gain. The decision, made by a Bench of Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal and Justice Deepak Manchanda, dismissed petitions seeking to quash this condition, emphasizing the humanitarian purpose behind the 'land for land' policy.
