He described situations where sellers peddle the same piece of land to multiple buyers, creating massive confusion. Government agencies often grab lands for public projects they never complete. Rather than returning these unused properties to their previous families, officials sell them off to wealthy investors who pay top dollar. The judge voiced these concerns during the fifth Law for Society meeting recently held in...
