Purchase a genral land and register to ST/SC

krisna shasthri (Querist) 12 August 2017 This query is : Resolved
Sir, A land from a general was purchased a few years ago and it was registered to ST/SC. Could the same land be sold to general now or it could not be sold at all or could it be sold to ST/SC only ? The land is in Koraput Odisha. Your advice is appreciated.

The restriction as to transferability of the land is with reference to the location of the land (Various States have laid down the Law that certain lands, in scheduled areas duly notified, could be sold only specified communities) and not to the caste/community of the holder. From the facts stated, the property in question does not suffer from any restricted and could be purchased by any citizen, irrespective of his community.

If NO restriction,schedule,T&C apply to such lands then there should be no issue............

The local counsel as suggested above can examine all docs/records and advise for points raised in query and also for any other defect,if any.............

The FEE is usually reasonable....
