Pre-partion ownerships were settled through settlement comission. After migration people were compensated for their previous properties (value wise) by giving them new properties in their new place of residence. If these properties are in Hindu or alike name then whats the problem, may be they are Pakistanis and still holding the ownership and occupying the premises. Oh my dear balma:

Most of the properties were in Saddar area, esp on the Elphinstone Street (Zaib-un-Nissa St.). Most were owned by people with names commonly associated with Hindus. I wonder if most of them had migrated to India around 1947/8. I am very curious what actually happened to all that property? Typical PK harami-pun and people in the city or provincial governments transferred the leases to themselves, or will they be(or were they) put up for auction to get the market price?
