Sri Lanka government to set up a land tribunal

(July 09, 2010) Sri Lanka Minister of Land and Land Development Janaka Bandara Thennakoon says that the government has decided to set up a land tribunal to settle the land disputes.

The aim of this tribunal is to solve the land disputes quickly, the Minister said.

According to him, only 5% of Sri Lanka’s land is free from disputes.

The land disputes take long times to be settled through the normal judiciary proceedings in Sri Lanka. There are many land cases that have taken entire life times of the parties to be solved. This cause immense trouble to land owners and also prevent productive use of these lands
