Your query is not clear. To my understanding, the tenant cannot sell or transfer the land under the Kul Kayda law.

Kul Kayada is a provision of protection given to the tenants of the land under the Bombay Tenancy and Agricultural Act 1948. U/s 43 of the said Act any land acquired by a tenant shall not be entitled to be sold, transferred without the prior approval of the Collector.
Those persons who are lawfully cultivating the land of others are considered as a deemed tenant under the act. The said act declared 1 April 1957 as a tillers day and persons who are tenant or cultivating the land of others on 1 April 1957 (tillers day)are deemed to have purchased land.
By going through the 7/12 extracts or the village land records, it is easy to find out the property details. In the 7/12 extracts, it is mentioned whether the property is affected by the kul kayada or your property was tenanted property. Tenanted property (kul Kayada) means your forefathers (ancestors) had leased /given the land to other persons to cultivate and in turn they were getting rent for it.
