Gair Mumkin Abadi or Abadi – Meaning of — “Abadi Deh” of a village, is the habitation of a village, enclosed by the “Lal Lakir” and contains houses of proprietors and non-proprietors — “Abadi Deh” should not be confused with “Gair Mumkin Abadi” or “Abadi” — Former expression denotes land within the “Lal Lakir” whereas the latter expression denotes habitation or inhabited structures. Nirmal and another v. State of Punjab and others, 2012(3) L.A.R. 589 (P&H DB).
Since the land belong to SC / ST follow the procedure to purchase the land.
Land belonging to scheduled castes or tribes cannot be bought by non-dalits, including companies. ... "Section 42 (SC, ST Act) provides some general restrictions on sale, gift and bequest of the interest of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe, in the whole or part of their holding.
