The West Bengal Land Reforms Act, 1955, restricts land transfer by Scheduled Tribes (STs) to protect their rights against exploitation. Key provisions detail that transfers contradicting the Act are invalid, emphasizing the need for government oversight, particularly in sales to non-ST individuals. Legal channels, including Revenue Officers, focus on preventing illegal transfers and restoring land to rightful owners. The law is supported by Supreme Court rulings affirming constitutional protection for ST land rights and ensuring strict enforcement against fraudulent transactions. Such measures reinforce community land stability, crucial for vulnerable ST populations amid economic challenges.
