In Jammu and Kashmir, the Government has ordered that the legal heirs of an agriculturist shall fall in the category of agriculturist under the Land Revenue Act. The Revenue department has said that the legal heirs of an agriculturist mother, father, wife and children of an agriculturist shall also fall in the agriculturist category. The Jammu & Kashmir Land Revenue Act bars the transfer of land in favor of a person who is not an agriculturist. The Government's move came after the Revenue Department's field formations received applications wherein legal heirs of agriculturists were also claiming to be agriculturists. <br />''<br />''<br />
