As an Adiwasi landholder, you have certain protections under the Indian Constitution and special laws.
Since your father purchased the land from a Brahmin (Bhraman Panditji) 20 years ago and you have a Will Deed transferring the land to your name with 7/12 ownership, you are considered the rightful owner.
However, as an Adiwasi, you are governed by the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, and the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA). These laws aim to protect Adiwasi lands from alienation.
To sell your land, you will require: 1. Collector's permission: Yes, you need permission from the Collector (District Magistrate) under Section 36 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966. 2.
Gram Sabha resolution: You also need a resolution from the Gram Sabha (Village Council) under PESA, recommending the sale.
3. NOC from the Tahsildar: Obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Tahsildar (Sub-Divisional
as an Adiwasi landholder, you have certain rights and protections. Ensure you follow the proper procedures to avoid any disputes or legal issue
