Purchase of tribal land by non-tribal

Arati Gawde (Querist) 25 February 2014 This query is : Resolved
My friend is a Non-tribal who wants to purchase Tribal land in Maharashtra. As per Sec. 36 & 36A of Maharashtra Land Revenue Code non tribal can purchase tribal land with the prior permission of Collector. But I heard that currently Bombay High Court has been passed the judgment which stated that Non-Tribal can’t purchase Tribal land, Only Government is a right to make compulsory acquisition of that land if situation demand.
My query is that is this type amendment / judgment has been passed by any Court?

1. Agricultural Land is "alloted" to Tribal community is on "Right to Usage", by the Govt., specifically for self-sustanance of the Tribal community.

2. However the "Title-Ownership" of such alloted agricultural land is solely vested only with the Govt. Hence such "Tribal Land" is not sell'able by the Tribal themselves, UNLESS & UNTIL, specific permission is sought from the area collectors office, subject to payment of relevant taxes /fines/ penalties /nazarana's and compliance of various documentary procedures.
