Description:
Sec. 80 specifically bars sales of agricultural lands to non-agriculturists. Where lands
under self-occupation are within the ceiling area fixed under Section 66 they can be
transferred to someone who is entitled to hold it or acquire it, under the provisions
mentioned above. If the transferee is an agriculturist who is a self-cultivator he must be
one holding less than the ceiling area. Even so the transfer can only take place provided
the purchaser's holding after the purchase does not exceed the ceiling area. Even future
acquisition of land by way of inheritance, bequest etc. by a person already holding land
up to the ceiling limit on 1-3-1974 is prohibited by Section 64. Lands so acquired are to
be declared and surrendered to Government. #pdf
