My grandfather, who was 90 years old in 1990, borrowed money and used our inherited land as collateral. He registered the land in the lender’s name. Can we challenge this transaction now, after 34 years? Is there a rule preventing families with non-agricultural incomes over 5 lakhs from buying agricultural land? If I’m under 21, can I claim my share of the land, arguing I was unaware of the deal and it rightfully belonged to me?

The transaction might be challenged based on the grandfather’s age and mental capacity at the time, but a 34-year delay could make it difficult. There is no specific rule preventing non-agricultural income earners from buying agricultural land. As a minor at the time, you might have grounds to claim your share, but it would be best to consult a lawyer.
