Can i buy a land/plot from sc/st person.

(Querist) 21 March 2023 This query is : Resolved 
hello, Sir/madam, I want to know whether it is legal or not to buy a land from a sc/st person in mp and what's the process of buying.
Quick Summary
Generally, you can buy land from an SC/ST person in Madhya Pradesh if they acquired it through a sale deed. However, if the land was originally granted by the government (assigned land), the SC/ST owner needs permission from the District Collector to sell it to anyone. Supreme Court rulings primarily restrict non-SC/ST individuals from purchasing government-granted land to SC/ST individuals, not the other way around, provided the land wasn't government-assigned without proper permissions.

If the SC/ST person obtained the land from the Government (assigned land) cannot buy anyone without getting permission from the District Collector. If the SC/ST person purchased the land through a sale deed, you can buy it.

Supreme Court rules thst land belongs to SC/ST class can't be purchsed by non SC/ST( General Class/OBC class including company, society and corporations.Its unconstitutional and illegal.

Better check the classification with the Registrar before venturing into purchase.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 22 March 2023
The ruling by supreme court in this regard is only for the government granted land and not for the land bought by persons belonging to the SC/ST community on their own hence there should not be any problem to purchase if that is confirmed.
