Sc land issue

(Querist) 06 October 2023 This query is : Resolved 
We are sc adi dharavid but my grand father and my father sold sc land to general category
Is this legal
Quick Summary
Selling land designated for Scheduled Caste (SC) members to individuals outside the community can be legally complex. If the land was government-allotted for community welfare and a restriction period has passed, the sale might be permissible, often requiring District Collector permission. However, such sales can be challenged in court and potentially declared void, with the land liable for restoration to the original SC owner.

If it was a land allotted by the government under any scheme for the community people welfare and if the condition period for alienation was over by then, there cannot be any legal infirmity in it, however it would be proper to obtain permission from district collector to sell the property

Yes. If the land was assigned to them, it requires permission from the District Collector. If the land was not assigned and acquired land they can sell it.

land laws (particularly SC ST land) vary region to region. Meet a local lawyer.
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 08 October 2023
Land sold by S.C category to general category is against the law and such sale can be challenged in court and get declared null and void.

The land is liable to be restored to the SC ST and he is not bound to return the price.
