Dear sir,
Under the Tamil Nadu Lands reforms Act, the land assigned to an assignee being a member of the SC/ ST community can not alienate the land till the expiry of the assignment period or till the full payment of the prce fixed by the Government which ever is later. Even after the expiry of the assignment period or on full payment of the price to the Government, which ever is later, the assignee is not entitled to sell the assigned land to any person other than the member of the SC / ST community.
Now the question is that if the first purchaser from the assignee is a SC / ST community member, can the first purchaser is entitled to resell the land to any other community persons subsequently ?
Kindly advise me with any case laws supporting your views.
