PROSECUTORIAL SUPERVISION OVER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS DURING PRIVATIZATION OF LAND FOR AGRICULTURAL USE

In March 2015, signifi cant amendments were made to the land legislation, including the acquisition of private property rights to agricultural land plots. So, tenants of land plots had the right, after a three-year lease term, to acquire ownership of land plots intended for agricultural production, and without bidding (paragraph 9 of part 2 of Article 39.3 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation), that is, in preferential treatment. The main task of the state in this case was to support a conscientious tenant of the land and agricultural production at the same time. However, as practice shows, the authorized authorities commit violations when alienating land plots from public ownership on the indicated basis, thereby violating the interests of the state. The article considers the prosecutor’s assessment of the legality of the actions of authorized authorities during the privatization of a land plot (on the basis indicated above), provided that the permitted use of the plot contained in the public register of real estate does not correspond to the types of use provided for by the general plan of the settlement and land use and development rules; the subject of prosecutorial response has been identified; the necessity of using the means of prosecutorial supervision is justified in the event that the authorized authorities conclude contracts for the sale of agricultural land, when this use is not allowed by the town-planning regulations of the territorial zone in which the land is located. In the work, the author comes to the conclusion that the Land Code of the Russian Federation allows cases of changing the type of permitted use of land without a statement from the copyright holder of this plot, which should be taken into account by prosecutors, requiring the supervised entities to properly comply with the requirements of the law.
