In which State, is the land situate? If the land is self-acquired by ST can buy by anyone. But if the land is assigned to ST/SC, then permission from the District Collector is a must.

rule position varies state to state.

Both the categories i.e., SC & ST are legally different castes, which are even not interlinked to each other.
Accordingly facilities/ benefit granted by the State / Union government to one caste can not be transferred / supplement .
