Quick Summary

You're inquiring if you can reclaim 5 acres of agricultural land sold by your ex-serviceman father in 1998. Government-issued land to ex-servicemen often has restrictions on sale, typically requiring a 10-year period and sometimes a No Objection Certificate (NOC). If your father didn't follow the correct procedure, you might be able to challenge the sale deed in court, but there's a risk the land could be repossessed by the government. It's advisable to consult a lawyer with all relevant documents to assess your specific case and the land allotment policies of your state.

The land allotted to ex-servicemen is often subject to conditions regarding alienation (transfer or sale) of the property. Typically, a period of 10 years from the date of assignment is required before the land can be transferred or sold. Additionally, some instances may require a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the government before alienation, although this requirement has been dispensed with in some cases.
In essence, while ex-servicemen may have the right to alienate land after a certain period, they should be aware of any conditions or requirements imposed by the government or the state revenue department, such as the need for permission or NOCs.
Hence you first of all become aware of the conditions of the land assigned to him and then confirm if your father had followed the proper procedures to sell the property, if not you can get the sale deed invalid through court order.
However the risk is that the assigned land will be taken back by the government if the fraud has come to the notice of the government through the court order.
