the law prohibits transfer of tribal held land to non-tribals

2) A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959 (Regulation I of 1959) had entered the force on 4-3-1959. This was made to regulate the transfer of lands in theScheduled Areas of East Godavari, West Godavari, Srikakulam and Visakhapatnam Districts. The said Regulation was amended by Regulation II of 1963 by including, within the meaning of Agency Tracts, the areas in the Districts of Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Mahabubnagar. With the result, the A,P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959 was made applicable to the areas of the districts of Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Mahabubnagar districts also with effect from 1-12-1963.

3) make the transfer of immovable property from a tribal to a non-tribal null and void. Sub-section (2) of Section 3 empowers the Agent, the Agency Divisional Officer or any other prescribed Officer, on an application by any interested person, relied on information given in writing by a public servant or suo motu decree ejectment of the person in possession of the property claiming under the transfer, after prescribed notice etc. and may restore the property to the transferor or his heirs, If the transferor or his heirs are not willing to take back the property or their whereabouts are not known, the Agent, Agency Divisional Officer or the Prescribed Officer, as the case may be, may order assignment or sale of the property to any other member of a schedule tribe. Therefore, by virtue of the provisions of Regulation I of 1959 any transfer made by a tribal to a non-tribal is made null and void and the authorities were empowered to restore possession of the said property, after ejecting the person in possession under the void transfer to the transferor or his heirs and if their whereabouts are not known, the authorities are empowered to order assignment or sale of the property to any member of a scheduled tribe

Dear Client,

Purchase through registered irrevocable GPA is not complete sale but creating security interest in the property, which cannot be taken away by questioning GPA, It`s just matter of invasion of stamp duty, if sale deed was executed.

All which need, you should be ST, otherwise sale null and void.

Your GPA is not valid , here is below all details reports of the LTR.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS)-led government has not taken a single step forward to protect tribal land rights in the Scheduled Areas of Telangana. On the other hand, it is pursuing policies diluting the letter and spirit of the tribal protective Land Transfer Regulations 1 of 70 (LTR) by offering construction of double bedroom houses to poor across the State without any restriction to Scheduled Areas.

The government policy lends stout support to the voice of non-tribals who are consolidating their strength and seeking the repeal of LTR. This move will trigger discontentment and unrest among the Adivasis in the Scheduled Area of Telangana, which is spread over Khammam, Warangal, Adilabad and Mahabubnagar districts.

The Koneru Rangarao Land Committee in 2006 identified thousands of acres in the occupation of non-tribals in violation of LTR. It may be mentioned here this committee was set up as a follow-up of tribal land issues agenda placed by Maoists before the then Congress government.

Several orders were issued by the government directing District Collectors and ITDA project officers to take up time-bound steps to evict non-tribals from their illegal land occupations and assign the lands to eligible tribals. However, the implementation of government orders has been a non-starter.

A large chunk of lands is held by non-tribals in spite of the LTR 1 of 70. The Committee identified Bill Makta lands of 21,000 acres in Kothaguda and 536 acres in Peddapalli, mostly in the occupation of non-tribals in Warangal district, and directed authorities in 2007 for eviction of non-tribals and assignment in favor of tribals. Most of the endowment lands owned by Bhdrachalam temple in Khammam district are in illegal occupation of non-tribals as per the report of Commissioner of Endowments in 2008.

There is a delay in implementing the orders issued in favour of tribals in land cases. As of March 2015, the Agency Courts in Telangana decided 31,135 cases covering an extent of 1,05,361 acres in favour of tribals. However, the enforcing machinery set up under the LTR could only restore 81,829 acres pertaining to 22,695 cases.

Another key issue is that about 21,062 ares in Utnoor Mandal in Adilabad district, 12,000 acres in Illendu Mandal in Khammam district are held by non-tribals in the name of old pattas. The government had directed identification of such lands in other parts of agency areas and take steps for eviction of non tribals. It also directed officials to identify government lands in uninhabited villages in the Scheduled Areas for assignment to tribals living in nearby such villages.

Thousands of acres of government lands are under encroachment of non-tribals by virtue of GOs 41, 951 and 129, which were issued during 1971-1979, enabling them to continue their occupation. However, all these GOs were struck down by High Court in 1998 and it directed the implementing officers to evict non-tribals from such government lands in the Scheduled Areas. In Bhadrachalam agency alone, 15,000 acres have been under the illegal occupation of non-tribals as per the report of Girglani appointed to study tribal land issues as part of Koneru Land Committee.

Similarly thousands of acres are under enjoyment of non-tribals in Mulugu and Govindharaopet mandals in Warangal district in violation of LTR. During the Nizam ruling thousands of acres were assigned in favor of military persons in the name of Jung Sipahis. However, the government could not identify such assignees. The committee identified 1,000 acres in Eturnagaram mandal in Warangal district, and 450 acres in Bayyaram mandal in Khammam district. The officers were directed by the Government in 2007 to evict the non-tribals, but in vain.

Several industries, petrol bunks, shops and establishments, and several other plantation industries have come up in the Scheduled Areas of Telangana, violating the LTR. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of Andhra Pradesh 2005 directed all the line department heads not to grant licenses or permits to non-tribals to run business or establishments as also private education institutions in violation of LTR.

The High Court of Andhra Pradesh held in several cases that allotting petrol bunk to non-tribals or permitting non-tribals to set up shops and establishments or construction of houses without having right over the land under the provisions of LTR in the government sites in the Scheduled Areas is illegal.

The implementation of two bed room housing policy in all the Assembly segments in the Telangana State without any reservation in the Scheduled Areas is adding to the magnitude of tribal land alienation problem and posing a serious threat to the survival and land rights of Adivasis.

The recent mobilisation of non-tribals and campaign for their rights in the agency areas of Adilabad district is an attempt to dilute the provisions of LTR. This is the high time to oppose such move of non-tribals and the anti-tribal policy in Telangana State and demand effective implementation of the LTR 1 of 70.

As per the Supreme Court judgement now sale of immovable property is prohibited through POA. But your sale is before that judgement then you don't have to worry

Could you please clarify as to when the said GPA was executed?

Firstly the proeprty purchased through GPA mode is not valid and it is not a valid title.

Moreover if the property is coming under the reserved quota allotment then if the conditions for selling have not been complied with properly then that sale can be negatived and it may become invalid.
