Important Case

which is further fortified by the

Samatha v. State of Andhra Pradesh & Ors (1997)

judgment where

the Supreme Court[SC] declared that the transfer of tribal land to private parties for mining was null and void under the Fifth Schedule.

 

Note - Samatha, a group representing the rights of affected tribal persons.

 

Why are Scheduled areas[SA] needed?


because they are inhabited by ‘aboriginals’ who are

socially and economically least developed, and special efforts need to be made to improve their condition.

 

Note ---Central government has somewhat greater responsibility for these areas than State government.


ADMINISTRATION[Admin] OF SCHEDULED AREAS[SA]

 

1. Declaration of Scheduled Areas:-

 

President[P] is empowered to declare any area as SA after consultation with Governor[G].

 

2. Executive Power of State and Centre:

 

The executive power of the State extends to SA and the Centre can give direction for administration of SA.

 

G has to submit report to P regarding Admin of SA.

 

3.Tribes Advisory Council[TAC]:

 

Advice on Welfare & Advancement of ST

 

TAC must be established if the state has SA but even if a state has ST not SA has to establish TAC if P directs.

 

4. Law applicable to Scheduled Areas:

 

G can direct law that doesn't apply to SA or Modify law for SA.

 

G can make regulations after consulting with TAC regarding allotment of land, Business of money lending in SA

 

These regulations can Amend laws but then it needs P assent.

 

Why UN Dhebar Commission, 1960 appointed?

 

To report on Admin of SA and Welfare of ST.

 

Constitution has a provision for it.

 

 Dilip Singh Bhuria commission, 2003 - same purpose.

 

Q-Which are states have Scheduled areas under 5th Schedule?
