HC lays down strict guidelines regulating sale, transfer of undivided joint family property of SC/ST equal shareholders
The Orissa High Court has established strict guidelines to safeguard SC/ST communities' property rights. Justice Panigrahi ruled that SC/ST family members can't sell joint property shares without a formal partition or unanimous consent from all coparceners. Sales to non-SC/ST individuals require revenue authority permission, ensuring no livelihood compromise or legal violation. Unauthorized sales are void, potentially triggering cancellation under the Orissa Land Reforms Act.
