Afghanistan’s Ministry of Justice has announced that 841.254 jeribs of land in the Alokhail area of Kabul’s District 16 have been officially confirmed as state-owned under a ruling issued by a special Taliban court.
According to the ministry, the designation was made through a religious-legal judicial process and formally establishes the land as property of the Taliban-administered state.
No detailed public breakdown has yet been provided regarding prior ownership claims, affected residents, or whether disputes over private documentation were part of the review.
The ruling is part of a broader Taliban-led land governance campaign that authorities describe as an effort to address land usurpation and clarify state ownership.
However, such rulings have increasingly drawn wider attention over issues including legal transparency, urban property rights, and the handling of contested land claims in Kabul and other areas.
The Alokhail case may further intensify debate over investment security, ownership protections, and public confidence in property adjudication processes.
