https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279622 A sale deed executed and registered after commencement of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978, is void if made without previous Government permission, even where it follows an earlier agreement to sell. The Act treats "transfer" broadly, including agreements to sell, and its scheme protects granted lands by invalidating transfers made in breach of the statutory conditions. A pre-Act agreement did not validate the later post-Act conveyance, because the operative transfer occurred only on registration of the sale deed. Resumption proceedings were therefore sustainable. en-us Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 28 Mar 2019 13:14:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=279622 A sale deed executed and registered after commencement of the Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978, is void if made without previous Government permission, even where it follows an earlier agreement to sell.
