The statement “All the lands that had been confiscated were to be returned to the original owners” about the Gandhi-Irwin Pact is NOT correct.

One of the terms of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931) regarding confiscated lands was that only those lands which had not been sold to third parties would be returned to the original owners. Lands already sold would not be returned.

The Gandhi-Irwin Pact, also known as the Delhi Pact, was a political agreement signed in March 1931 between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin, the then Viceroy of India. It marked the end of the first phase of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Other terms included Congress participating in the Second Round Table Conference, the government withdrawing ordinances issued to curb the movement, and the release of political prisoners not convicted of violence.
