Agriculture land - Karnataka

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 23 November 2009 This query is : Resolved
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

1. You can cultivate your land through contractors or some other laborers or can sell it as the term contains"land can be acquired, if it is idle". No time period is given which can be misinterpreted against you so why to given them a chance?

2. Your family shall have same status as of you in case of your death.

3. Will shall be valid.

You cannot sell the land,but you can give it to some one by will.Even after your death your wife will be entitled to holdit and get cultivated.Usually after fifteen years,you can ask for converting the land into old tenure,but that depends on GRs in your State,but that can be done.So betterf do not give lup the land in the interest of your family.
