https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168754 Sections 3 and 4 of the Maharashtra Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974 regulate transfers and alienation of agricultural land by Scheduled Tribes to non-tribals, including annulment and restoration where exploitation and unequal bargaining power caused dispossession. The scheme is linked to State legislative power over agricultural land and operates as a remedial social-welfare measure. The 1 April 1957 cut-off, preferential protection for Scheduled Tribes, and different treatment of land converted to non-agricultural use are based on the legislation's remedial purpose and the differing character of such land. Section 9A excludes pleaders before specified revenue authorities to promote expeditious land restoration; representation by counsel is not an absolute right in all proceedings. en-us Tue, 04 Dec 1984 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:27:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=168754 Sections 3 and 4 of the Maharashtra Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974 regulate transfers and alienation of agricultural land by Scheduled Tribes to non-tribals, including annulment and restoration where exploitation and unequal bargaining power caused dispossession.
