If this was originally allotted to a person belonging to SC community and the subsequent purchaser also belongs to SC community then the subsequent purchaser may have to sell it to a buyer belonging to SC community only.

No, a general category person cannot buy land allotted to SC/ST's in India. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, prohibits the transfer of land allocated for the welfare of SC/STs to non-SC/STs.
