Land Tenures

(b) Land Tenures - Aala Maliks and Adna Maliks Connotation. The land tenure of Aala Milkiyat as recognized in the former Punjab has a special connotation in the settlement literature. Before their abolition by the Martial Law Regulation No. 64 (West Pakistan Land Reforms Regulation) Aala Maliks were the superior owners of the land with a right to receive privileged rent without any right to cultivation such as was possessed by Adna Maliks or those who were in actual cultivation possession of the land. Aala and Adna Milkiyat rights, sometimes, co-existed in the same person.
