Abstract
Land ownership and its limitations are important issues and the subject of debate, as a result of disputes, transitional claims are raised in judicial and quasi-judicial authorities. This has made the examination of land ownership and its limitations a necessity. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate the question of what is the approach of jurisprudence and law towards land ownership and the restrictions resulting from it? The present article is descriptive and analytical and has investigated the mentioned question by using the library method. The findings indicate that land can be divided into three categories: national lands, agricultural lands, pure lands, and coastal developments. From the point of view of jurisprudence, land ownership belongs to the legal guardian, and the ownership of land by individuals requires the permission of the legal guardian and development of that land. From a legal point of view, the ownership of national lands and Khalsa lands and coastal properties belongs to the government. Any change in land ownership requires the approval of the government. The nature of Khalsa lands and coastal properties is also public and governmental, and Khalsa lands include lands that belong to the government and its purchase and sale is possible only with the permission of the government.
