Conversion of agricultural land to old tenure category necessitates prior permission from competent authorities before any non-agricultural activity or construction can be undertaken; failure to obtain such permission or remit the requisite premium renders any construction illegal and exposes the land to confiscation by the State under applicable law. As analyzed on casestatus.in, concurrent findings of fact by lower forums affirming such confiscation warrant no interference by the Supreme Court in its special leave jurisdiction.
