Sir
I have purchased an Agriculture land of Four Acres in the year 2003. I am not an agriculturist. I obtained permission from the Assistant Commissioner, as my income was below Rs Two Lakhs per annum and my income was only from agriculture source from a leased land. The permission was granted to buy a specified land on condition:
1. I will use it for agriculture purpose - for self cultivation - not leave it idle - otherwise the government will acquire
2. permission is granted only to buy the specified land and cannot buy any other land with this permission
3. Will not request for the conversion of the land
For the past Six years I have been cultivating on this land. Now I fell ill and I am not able to continue cultivation and the land is left idle.
I have Two children both are now employed in IT industry. Wife - House wife. I wanted to sell this land
MY QUESTIONS:
1. For how long these conditions apply - as nothing is specified in the permission - As I am ill how long the land can be kept idle
2. What will happen if I die before selling the land. If my family inherits what will be the status
3. If I bequeath to any other relative - A NON AGRICULTURIST by a WILL what will be the status
Kindly give me suitable advice and suggestion
Thanks and Regards
A A Dass
