Dear Client,
Your query requires more details to address it suitably. Be informed that Section 42 of the SC, ST Act, 1989 prohibits the sale of SC land without the approval of the competent authority. This law was enacted to protect the interests of the SC/ST tribe. However, you can acquire SC/ST land by obtaining permission from the DM or the Collector concerned. A tribal(SC/ST) can purchase land from a non-tribal person but he/she can not sell the property to a non-tribal person. The Hon'ble Supreme Court rules that land belonging to the SC/ST class can't be purchased by non-SC/ST( General Class/OBC class including companies, society, and corporations). It's unconstitutional and illegal. The ruling by the Supreme Court in this regard is only for the government-granted land and not for the land bought by persons belonging to the SC/ST community on their own hence there should not be any problem to purchase if that is confirmed. However, you should consult with a local Advocate or visit the office of the DM/Collector concerned for more clarification in this regard.
