Subject
Article 12 sets out the procedure for objecting to the schedule of rights by the holder of a disposal, ownership, or usufruct right in land or water, or any related rights. The objection is filed by a written summons to the Lands Directorate directly or via the court registrar, specifying the grounds within thirty days from the posting of the schedule in the registration office, and the Lands Directorate must refer the objection together with the schedule to the Land Settlement Court for adjudication.
Summary
The Land Settlement and Water Law in force when the objection was filed did not establish a deadline for submitting evidence nor require the objector to attach evidence with the summons or upon registration in the settlement court after referral. Therefore, Article 57 of the Civil Procedure Code—which requires a claimant to submit a list of evidence at filing under penalty of forfeiture—does not apply in this type of objection under the circumstances described.
Practical significance
Practically, failing to attach evidence with the summons or at court registration does not trigger exclusion of evidence under Article 57 in such objections, and the referral procedure remains applicable. This content is an educational summary and not a judicial text or legal advice.
