Purchase of an agricultural- grant land in Karnataka
3 years ago
Hi,
I am planning to purchase a land from a person to whom the land was granted in 1972. The person is non SC/ST. I have the grant copy which states that the land should not be sold within 15 years of grant. The land is in a single survey number. No subdivisions available in that survey number. Seller is now aged around 86years had 3 wives. 1st wife passed away and don't have any child. She adopted a baby who's an adult now. 2nd wife also passed away and she has 3 sons and one daughter all are adults and age between 40-65. 3rd wife is alive and stays with the seller along with her son who is 30 years old.
I need clarity on the below questions.
1) Can I buy this grant land now?
2) Is there any approvals required from Tahsildar/DC for purchasing the grant land from the seller?
3) The person to whom the land was granted is selling the land for the first time, do I need to get the land sellers sons/daughters signature for the sale agreement?
4) can any of his sons or grand sons from 2 nd wife claim for the land after the registration/khata transfer is done/ or in future (3rd wife and son are staying with the seller and are okay for selling of the land)?

1. Yes, you can proceed with the purchase.
2. Considering the special status of the land, you might have to inform the Sub-Registrar of the same, this will depend on that district's local laws.
3. No, just the property's legal owner's consent will suffice.
4. They can raise a claim, but you will have a better right over the property.
