A. Dear client,
A general category person can't buy land belonging to SC / ST category through direct purchase. He has to take permission from the relative authority for buying such lands. There are many types of SC / ST lands. In most of the cases you do get permission from the revenue authority whereas Adivasi lands are strictly prohibited. In Maharashtra the Adivasi lands are classified under section 36 and 36 A of land revenue act.

What document did person X register with the registration office? You need to mention that clearly. In case he has registered the sale deed in somebody's else's name then you cannot be the owner. Inc case you talking about registration of PoA then its ok as after his death the PoA is invalid.
