Getting agriculturist status on forged documents or by mean of overrule mandatory legal requirement will lead you in another trouble. It is better to sale out land. Get cancelled sale deed of your favour by a cancellation deed. directly transfer this land to buyer through original owner.

The purchase made by you is illegal and non est in the eye of law, as in Maharashtra sale of agricultural land to a non agriculturist is prohibited. Hence the suggestion given by the expert to get the land sold through the original vendor should be considered.

Also please ensure that the new buyer is an agriculturist and pays the sale price to you
