Dear Sir, I was a farmer of Maharashtra, i migrated during my early years and worked in Gujarat for more than 35 years. i have a house in gujarat now. i m legally certified domicile of gujarat. i submitted an application for purchase of agricultural land to district magistrate on the basis of me being old farmer of maharashtra (documents submitted). however my application was denied without any explanation only on basis that since i m a farmer outside Gujarat i cannot be registered as a farmer in Gujarat. My query is what should i do now, do i continue my purchaseof agricultural land or file an appeal in court against the decision ? does the law says that one farmer cannot purchase agri land in another state. Please help me sir

Better u study the law concerning to purchase of agricultural land in Gujarat. I some of the States, the agricultural land can be purchased by those peasants who hold their agricultural land in that particular state. You shall also go through rules, if such is available therein. If not then you are also entitled and can make representation to higher revenue authorities.

Dear Mukund,

As per my knowledge there is no such prohibition to have the agricultural land in whole India but some restrictions are there to otherthan agriculturists.

Firstly you seek the information under the Right to Information act from the said authoirty under what grounds/laws under denied your application. Then you can challange the said prohibition.
